Manny Parra is still on the block... -
I'm optimistic that alcohol sales are going to be going through the roof in the Milwaukee area as people try to ease the pain of the past two games.
-
Maybe if they couldn't pull that off straight up, could you add Parra to the mix?
-
Sell!
-
Ahhhh... now I feel more edu-ma-cated... thx!

Is Alex Gonzalez not coming back next year?

I had not heard of SlickDeals before. Thanks for the info!

Every once in a while, there are some events that may show up just before it blue screens. You can check these things out in the Event Viewer. Look in Administrative Tools for something called the Event Viewer. Some of it is pretty technical, but the red X's may be able to give you some insight into what is going on.

Braun, ESPN, and sports "journalism"
Samurai Bucky replied to Samurai Bucky's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
ESPN does more than just report the story. For example, they are going with the information received that they received from other "sources" that he got off only on a technicality. After that, they are giving their opinions as experts in the game. These opinions are taken as gospel and are not only used by ordinary fans like you and me, but are also used by other media outlets ("ESPN reports that..."). If ESPN wants to do some real journalism, why don't they talk to biochemists to figure out how, chemically, a urine test could have as much testosterone as it did? 3x the previously detected amount? That means that it was 3x higher than players that were suspended!!!!!!! Seriously? I have heard them say that testosterone was found in the sample, so he is guilty. If I took a urine test, I would hope they would find some testosterone in my sample (FYI: I am a male... ). As suggested above, ESPN is more interested in increasing the hits on their web site (equivalent to "selling papers") than it is in finding the truth -- in my opinion. -
I couldn't decide which thread would be best for this post. So, I thought I should just start a new one. Harold Reynolds seemed to toe the line yesterday on MLB network. I think he really wanted to call out the people at ESPN that ran the story. He did say that the people who leaked the information from this "private" process should be punished. We know that isn't going to happen. We also know that ESPN will not be called out. They have their "anonymous sources" which seems to be quite convenient. As I read other articles on ESPN's site and listen to them on TV, it seems like they are in typical damage control. If they are going to find pieces of information on both sides of the fence, they are most likely going to go with the information that is going to best cover their back sides. Who do many of the sportswriters in the world turn to for their "insider information?" Well, ESPN of course. This was supposed to all be kept behind closed doors -- private if you will. Regardless of whether or not Braun did one thing or the other, the system is broken. ESPN cannot wash their hands of this. I'm sure the "journalist" that reported this got a nice big, fat paycheck for breaking the story. What he really should have gotten was a swift kick in the pants instead. Thanks for letting me rant.

What is the over/under on the number of pages that will be on this topic? I'll set it at 80...
-
Ahh... it is the long, multi-page thread vs. multiple threads talking about similar things. What is one to do?

Twitter Is this a backup plan in case Aoki doesn't work out?

Your 2013 Houston Astros or Houston ??
Samurai Bucky replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Would the correct pronunciation be "Rast-roh?" http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/tongue.gif -
I took a peek at the video of the Betty White show and the beginning reminded me of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood...

Router/ethernet switch problem/quesiton.
Samurai Bucky replied to DuWayne Steurer's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Just browsing and I thought I might offer some additional troubleshooting items. I don't know what you are connecting to the generic switch, but it would be helpful if you were to use a desktop or laptop. Configure the computer to be on the same IP subnet as the rest of your network defined in the Belkin router. I would suggest doing it while connected to the Belkin. You should only need to set up the IP address, subnet mask, and DNS servers. You should be able to get that information from the DHCP scope on the Belkin router, or you can get it from one of your computers connected to the wired or wireless environment. To view the information (using a Windows workstation), you can go into the network setup, or go to the command prompt and type in "ipconfig /all". Once you know that computer is working, then disconnect it from the Belkin, connect it to the generic switch, and the connect the switch to the Belkin. In theory, you should be able to connect to the same things you were able to connect to before. If you can't, then there is a problem between the Belkin and the switch. If there is still a problem: * Is there a status light on either devices that shows that there is a connection and / or activity? * On some switches / routers, there is a physical switch (button) that controls whether the port is a crossover port. Is there one on these devices? That's my 2 cents worth. I hope it helps... -
You got some love for Arkham City here. I'm officially addicted...

Linky I didn't know that Wisconsin was really Minnesota in disguise. Come on! If the artist is an idiot, wouldn't the editor at least see what is going on here?

Provus Accepts Twins Lead Radio Position (reply #39)
Samurai Bucky replied to FIPS133's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Provus understands that Ueck is the main attraction. I also think that Uecker will have one foot in the grave before he retires. Provus does a fine job. We are probably a little spoiled by the guys that have been in the booth. -
I am not in the know, but have been thinking about why CC would be leaving New York. Is it possibly because he doesn't like the big-city lights? Would he take less money to play somewhere else? Would he entertain coming back to Milwaukee? Let's say the Brewers sign him (perhaps a pipe dream). Do they trade away one or two of the starters to get some more defensive help? How about: Sign CCTrade away Marcum / Narveson / Wolf (?) for help on the left side of the infield...?

How long have we had issues with a leadoff hitter? I would like to see us, somehow, get that shored up. If Jose Reyes is the answer, then let's see how that goes. We kill two birds with one stone: we get a good leadoff hitter, and we improve greatly at SS. Heck, maybe Rafael Furcal might be a better option than Yuni. I also think we need to do something to shore up third base. One of the reasons why Braun is in left is because he had hands of stone at third. Casey Mc-EEE needs to be dealt or needs to be put on the pines. I don't know if Aramis is a good choice -- probably too expensive and too old? Shore up the defense at Short and Third and get a leadoff hitter. That would help big time.

Its obvious no other pitchers can get them out. Let Loe have his shot, too.

Climbing up on the Anxiety Meter
Samurai Bucky replied to Samurai Bucky's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I was at the last game that Yo pitched against the Cardinals at home. He looked terrible. I know that the DBacks are not the Cardinals, but I am not sure that Yo is a lock to do well. -
As long one of two things happen: 1. They are not on Milwaukee's favorite LOW DEF station: WMLW; 2. WMLW starts transmitting a high def signal.
