  1. Count me in as having some goosebumps. It pumps me up just to think of Rickie playing well and healthy for a full year.
  2. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif That's great.
  3. Sabathia pitching 240 innings and Beckett 200 is very important. Beckett and Sabathia are very similar pitchers, but I think 40 more innings gave him the edge.
  4. So Rickie gets 78 walks in 409 AB's but they have him at 65 in 465 AB? And Prince is expected for a dropoff in walks when he consistently walked better the whole year and is more of a power threat than ever? Eh, sounds very pessimistic and a bit off. And why does it have a bunch of the slugging numbers decreasing? (besides that of Hardy) It has Braun, Fielder, and Hart dropping, eccspecially those Prince and Ryan. There's got to be a reason they were docked there, regressing to the mean a bit, but 50 points for Prince and 80 for Braun? Thats seems very unlikely to me.

  6. That's exactly how I feel. I've met him and he's a super nice guy. The good thing is that if he does stop Brewers Live he'll still have a job for the Brewers.
  7. I'm interested in some. I'l post again in this thread detailing the ones I'd like, and il drop a pm later.
  8. http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2007-10/33050189.jpg Excellent picture.
  9. I raise you a Weeks and Villanueva. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif
  10. It's AT MOST going to be two games better than 2005! And 2005 didn't have the monumental, heartbreaking, frustrating, inexcusable collapse. And the competition might've been stronger in 2005. You're completely right that it will only be a game or two better than 2005. I geuss the reason why this would be considered a better season of baseball to many (me included) would be becuase we were actually in legitimate playoff contention until late this week. I also don't think anyone would argue this years team was more fun to watch than the 2005 club.
  11. Our players deserve credit for the division being absolutely terrible? Because that's the only reason there was any hope in 2007. Not to mention that despite the terrible competition, we were still only a .500 team! I'm certainly not proud of anything this Brewers team accomplished this year, I can't believe anyone would be. I'll be at the game with a very "meh" and ashamed attitude. Wait, so you don't care that the Brewers finally gave us something to care about in September? You don't care that they've given us great baseball to watch at Miller Park? So becuase they're not making the playoffs they stink and don't deserve cheering from the fans? And no, our players were not terrible this year, and they wouldn't be given a standing O tomorow if they were. But they do deserve credit for giving us the best baseball season we've had here in a long time. Terrible would describe a team like the Marlins or Pirates. They were decent this year, had lots of ups and downs, and will end up right around .500. That's not terrible at all.
  12. In my mind, the ugliest part of Miller Park is Bernie's Dugout. Theres a gazillion metal bars everywhere that looks bad, and the yellow slide is very lame. I definitely want the mug to come back, no doubt about it.
  13. Huh? He doesn't delight when the opposition does well at all. If you mean by saying "that was a good catch" or "you got to give him credit for that one," things along that line, you're right. But everyone does that. What does he do that makes you think he doesn't like the Brewers?
  14. Footlong chicken teriyaki on italian bread, loaded with sweet onion sauce.
  15. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/31JF5GQEEJL._AA280_.jpg This mighta helped.
  16. It's probably goin to be Brewers, with the Pack during commercials.
  17. working at a coffee shop... oooh yeah baby!
  18. Rickie is 2-17 against Oswaldt for his career with a HR. I geuss that may be a valid reason for giving him a day off.
  19. Since this thread is already cluttered with Yost hate, I'll vent on someone else. Johny Estrada. He's my least favorite player by a mile. Sub .300 OBP, zero hustle, is slower than molasses, can't throw out a runner to save his life, and is terrible defensively behind the plate. The DD trade looks worse and worse everyday.
  20. If anyone hasn't read Baseball Between the Numbers, I highly suggest it, for this subject, and countless others. Tere's a full chapter on clutch hitting, and essentially it proves that isn't very much of it. For example, David Ortiz is praised for his clutch hitting, but he really was only clutch for 2 seasons. ('00 and '05) The rest of his seasons his clutch rating was near 0. (leauge average) The formula BP uses for clutch makes a lot more sense than simply using RISP or the 7th inning 1 run rule. They define it as WinEx - LMLVW. WinEx being Win Expectantcy and LMLVW being Leveraged Marginal Lineup Value Wins. Both of those would take a long time to explain and if I tried it would be uber confusing, so I won't even try. But if you want to read more into the subject, the article in the book is very good.
  21. In the book Play Ball, by Joe Garagolia, he mentions it I believe. I've never heard of it elsewhere though.
  22. Great interview. He seems like a class-act. Very cool that bf.net got to interview him.
  23. I also agree that Kite Runner is excellent. I thought it started out a tad bit slow, but after 20-30 pages that took me 2 days to read, I finished the book in the next 2 days. Great book.
  24. Do you have any reason and/or facts to support your theory?
