TURBO

and it wasn't very good...

Sophia needs more face time.

Yet we still have people who think he should be replaced, or platooned.

If he wasn't Mr. A., he wouldn't have a job singing...I'll leave it at that. PLAY BALL!

Heart of darkness. Am I missing something?

National Anthem = not so good.

YES! Finally! Here is to a fun and exciting season of Brewer baseball! GO CREW!

I am 100% interested in one. If anyone has extras, please let me know!

This is what I said should happen a long time ago. Narveson had no business in the rotation, finally someone else sees it that way.

I am hoping and praying you are correct! I too doubt he gets 5 starts per week, but 2 or even 3 is not out of the question.

I'm sorry, but you're being a little bit ridiculous. There's no way he plays that much, even with RRR being himself. We shall see, it may sound ridiculous, but not impossible. Our roster is far from idiot proof, so nothing will surprise me. I am not saying that the situation I lined out will happen, but it surely could. I tend to think that in all reality, what I have posted could happen, and is closer to reality than what you have posted. I guess we'll find out soon enough...

I would take a BREWER world series win any way I could get it personally. If that meant buying a championship, so be it. If that meant squeaking into the playoffs as a future 3rd wild card team with an 81-81 record, then kicking butt throughout the playoffs, SO BE IT! I don't understand the argument. Winning the world series could be a once in a lifetime chance for us Brewer fans, and there are actually people here who want to pick and choose how we win it, then devalue a world series win if it doesn't fit their ideal criteria? Would those people root against the Brewers if we were in the world series and just got hot at the right time? I wonder if any Cardinals fans were disappointed in their WS win when they squeaked in and won it all?

Maybe not regular playing time at a certain position, but I expect him to get creative (or as creative as RR can get), and get him more playing time than he deserves. There is no way he is going to rot on the bench, he will play, but it's anyone's guess how that is going to happen. He might start out the year playing 2 games a week at SS, just enough to throw Segura out of any possible rhythm he may get into. Then, he might get one start at 2B per week to give Rickie a breather, and a start at 3B for Ramirez per week. That is 4 starts a week right there. I have no idea if he has ever played 1B, but if so, that could be another one. So, if he starts out the year starting 5 times per week, it won't shock me at all. (I doubt 1B is an option though)

I don't think the XFL was ever meant to be direct competition for the NFL, the USFL on the other hand, is a different story. They tried to steal the best players from the NFL via draft and free agency. (Hershall Walker, Reggie White, and Steve Young) I remember the WFL (World Football League) They didn't last either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Football_League http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Football_League

You are correct, missed that.... Here are the sold prices: $45 + $6 shipping = Ended with no bidders 26.08 + $8 shipping = Bad spring in the head $40 + $8 shipping = Ended with no bidders $45 + $6 shipping $33 + $6.95 shipping $55 + $6.95 shipping = Ended with no bidders $60 + $6.95 shipping = Ended with no bidders $36 +$6.95 shipping $44 + $6.95 shipping $35 + $6.95 shipping $37 + $6 shipping $37 + $6.95 shipping $41 + $9.99 shipping $56.63 + $6.95 shipping $50 + $10.99 shipping $50 + $10.99 shipping Not counting the auctions that ended with no bidders, the average cost of the Braun mini with shipping included has been $48.70 This also does not include the guy trying to sell the bobble plus an autographed Braun ball for $114 plus shipping, and $99.99 plus shipping. None of his auctions have sold at those prices.

A mini Braun just ended for $26 plus $8 shipping... As of now, these are not going for ridiculous prices. You just can not predict how bobbles will go, just can't...

already posted it man....you are too late......lol

I have not heard one single word about any alternates. The way it looks now, there will be none this year. *knock on wood*

Nice looking bobblehead. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/564718_10151386202995003_46888877_n.jpg

Ramirez has shown no signs of slowing down. I don't think we can bunch him into any bad contract talks until he shows signs of decline. I love the guy, my only concern is is health. If he stays healthy, he will produce.

That is even more of a reason NOT to start him in CF in a playoff game of all times... He had no comfort level at that position, which was evident in the fact that he misjudged a crucial play that could have/probably ended our season. If he did only play CF 10 times in a full season, why on earth start him there in the post season? asinine.

I could buy this when we had Macha. Roenicke doesn't seem like this at all though so not really sure where you are coming from. We didn't play the proven Morgan last year, we gave Aoki his shot. They were set to just give Gamel 1B until he got hurt. When Segura came to the team he played every day as the SS. They were willing to go to Jim Henderson as the closer last year. When Lucroy went down they leaned more on Maldonado. The only time he has favored a vet over a young guy was McGehee over Green in 2011 but I think that is more a product of him just not liking Green than anything and probably a product of McGehee having his hot streak right in the middle of the season and buying himself more time. Yuni started full time in 2011 because we didn't have another SS to play basically, it was a dead position. Aoki got his shot because Hart moved to 1B and Morgan was terrible, no other reason. Henderson was given a shot at closer because both Axford and K-Rod were just that bad. They didn't just have a rough patch, they were as bad as bad can be, for a long time. Don't think that both Aoki and Henderson were given shots out of the goodness of RR's heart. At that point, there was no other choice. NONE. The key to Maldonado playing was Lucroy getting hurt. Again, he had no choice other than to play the next guy in line. Lucroy was hurt, that is the only reason Maldonado giot his shot. McGehee should have been replaced by anyone MUCH sooner than it happened. RR gets no credit for that one either, that should have happened in July, but it didn't until playoff time. Kotsay starting in CF in a playoff game was perhaps the biggest blunder ever made by a Milwaukee Brewers manager. There is and was no excuse for that type of decision. It was completely asinine. I have zero faith in our manager to make managerial decisions that put our team in the best position to win games. He is an absolute doofus, and has no business calling shots for this team. This statement is accurate and truthful, as sad as it is: "when you have a manager like RR, you need to idiot proof the roster" The fact that we now have Yuni back on the roster, and a manager that will more than likely go out of his way to get him at bats is a reality, and it is frustrating.

So we could possibly be one serious injury from having Yuni as an every day starter someplace on our infield? Cool. Don't worry guys, RR will find a way to get him at bats, that you can be sure of.

Just finished season 4. I found seasons 1-4 on ebay, brand new in package for $30 shipped. That was a month ago, I burned through about a season a week. The show is addicting and GREAT! If you haven't seen it, think Sopranos on motorcycles. I absolutely can not wait for season 5 to be released. This is possibly in my top 5 favorite tv shows of all time!
