  1. What was it that Mike Cameron was suspended for 25 games for a few years back? Was that a "banned substance" or "stimulant" similar to what the latest on Braun is?
  2. Does anyone else wonder how/if the news on Braun affects the negotiations with Ramirez and his desire to come to Milwaukee??
  3. I don't know if I would go that far. To me, he's making sure he presents all sides of the story. He probably is a little frustrated by all the comments (like many on here as well) that rush to judgement on Braun's guilt/innocence in the whole matter.
  4. Well, it's on channel 445 after all. DISH would have had some angry phone calls had they not taken care of that. Crisis averted. GO BREWERS!!
  5. I'm being told by DISH that the game has been blacked out! Anyone else have any issues with this today??
  6. Does anyone know which channel today's game will be on DISH network?? None of their alternate channels seem to work for me!! (I'm in the Milwaukee area)
  7. Did anyone else read through the MLB predictions on ESPN.com today? Besides being very Red Sox heavy, which can't really be taken for a surprise, it was interesting to see what other opinions were out there. 10 of the writers picked the Brewers (out of 45) picked the Brewers to make the playoffs, including Johan Keri, from FanGraphs.com, who has the Brewers losing to the Red Sox in the World Series. Still not the most interesting pick, though: Steve Berthiaume picks the Astros to win the NL Central! I hope he's got some $$ on that pick, because the odds have got to be long on it!
  8. Adrian Gonzalez is being traded to Boston Well, you guys tell me...if this actually goes through, I think this just about clinches the fact that Prince will start the 2011 season as a Brewer. I always thought Boston was the leading candidate to end up landing Prince, so does this actually help the Brewers chances of signing him long-term? (Moderator note: I edited the topic title to make it clear that this is Major League forum material rather than a transaction rumor. --1992casey)
  9. There are rumors starting to float out there about the D-Backs possibly dealing Dan Haren (he's under contract for the next 3 years for ~$40 million). If the Brewers decide it's time to move Prince, would a deal involving Haren make sense?
  10. My water softener just took a dump and it looks like I will need to replace one. I have a Culligan man coming early next week, but I wanted to see if anyone else had to replace one recently or is in the biz and would be able to give me an idea about costs/features I should be looking for. I've owned my house for 5+ years now, and inherited this softener, so I've never had to shop for one.Any words of wisdom??Thanks in advance!
  11. Thanks! I just found it. Sorry for not digging farther. Feel free to lock/delete if needed.
  12. I don't know if this belongs in another thread, so feel free to move if necessary. Has anyone else with Dish Network noticed that not "all games are in HD this year" as promised by FS-Wisconsin? I've tried to get answers from Dish, but I just get the run-around and it's really starting to upset me. Anyone else have similar/different experiences to share? Any ideas out there?
  13. What's the consensus on this deal? Low-risk, high-reward? Does he factor more into the rotation or a possible bullpen guy? Brewers sign Halama
  14. That is ridiculous! I missed that the other night. Later that inning, Blake hits a 3-run homer, when he never should have even batted. Unbelievable! At least the Braves were able to come back and win the game. When are the umpires finally going to be held accountable for these atrocious mistakes??
  15. Wow, thanks! I obviously didn't do a great job searching the forum for an answer. Thanks again.
  16. For the stat gurus out there, is there a site or a way to find out what opponent's pitcher's BA are against the Brewers? Is there also a way see the league average opp. pitcher's BA? I know it's not like a .300 mark or anything that would really be concerning, but it just seems to me that opponent pitchers seem to find a way to get a hit many nights (at least recently). Thanks for any help in advance!
  17. Yeah, the game was only on WMLW. I had only half the box on SD, plus I checked my over-the-air antenna I have hooked up to my Dish box, and that had the same issue! Is it just me or did anyone else have this problem??
  18. (Mods feel free to move if this is in the wrong forum) While watching the spring training game today, did anyone else have issues with FSN's new score "box" in the upper-left corner of the screen. The inning and the Diamondbacks score was not even on my screen. Was it just my TV, is it a Dish Network issue, or was everyone noticing that? I sure hope this isn't a problem next week when the games count!
  19. That was my thought all along with Suppan being named the #1 starter. The Brewers do not have a true "ace" this year (at least until Gallardo fills that role, or they trade for Peavy), so winning the games against other aces are going to be tough. Might as well also have that be the game that Suppan pitches. Imagine any 3-game series where Game 1: other team's ace vs. anybody but Suppan, Game 2: other team's #2 vs. Suppan, and Game 3: other team's #3 vs. not Suppan. They would be lucky to take away that final game of the series to avoid being swept. Not a horrible decision, in my opinion.
  20. To quote one of my favorite lines from Tommy Boy, "I've seen a lot of cool things in my life...but that was AWESOME!!" Nice work on putting that together. I just got goosebumps again watching it! I would love to have a permanent copy of that...let me know if it's possible.
  21. Do you have a link at all? I've been looking to pick up the Power Pros 2008 for the Wii, but I can't see on amazon where that price is listed. Can someone help me? Thanks!
  22. I'd like to propose that this game is already one that could be marked down as an "extra" win that would not have occurred without Sabathia. Here's my rationale: -Who would have pitched had Sabathia not been here? (Parra, in a different rotation alignment? Someone else would have pitched on Friday then, who would that have been?) -Assuming that the offense has the same output, would that pitcher have hit a homer to aid the cause? (probably not) -Would that other pitcher have only allowed 2 runs over 9 innings, including striking out the side in the 9th? (again, doubtful) I realize it might be a stretch to say, with any certainty, that the Brewers lose today without Sabathia, and win only because of him, but the evidence sure supports it.
  23. Upton and Jackson would be nice pickups. Are you playing Guillen as your 1B? I like your side of it, if that is the case
