    Thanks for all of the hard work putting this together. I was only 12 when they pulled off the Vuke/Fingers/Simmons trade. I remember being pretty excited. Those were the days...
  2. Samurai Bucky
    Just some other ideas: Prince / Bush to Toronto for Halladay / Litsch or maybe Burnette / Litsch / Ryan Prince / Bush to Seattle for Hernadez / Putz Prince / Hardy to LA Dodgers for Furcal / Lowe / Broxton Prince / Hall / Bush to Detroit for (C. Guillen or Cabrera) / Bonderman I'm sure these are all bush-league. Everybody is forgiving... right? ;-)

    14 teams, 7x7 roto with a salary cap. I am currently $3 under the cap. Willie Tavares has not been getting consistent playing time. It sounds like Podsednik and somebody else will be eating away at his playing time. I like his SB totals, but need more consistency. Juan Pierre is available. However, Pierre is $17 while Taveras is $12. I thought of dropping Freddy Sanchez ($10) and picking up Jose Lopez ($2). Sanchez is slumping, but may come back. Is Pierre worth the risk vs. Taveras? Is Lopez a good pickup vs. Sanchez? Thanks!

    I trust Sizemore more than I trust Berkman. I would give up Berkman and Smoltz for Guerrero and Sizemore in a heartbeat.

    My tardiness is because I was out for much of the morning. WTG Mark for stepping up and paying these guys. It looks like Braun has the potential to be a legendary player. I hope the injury bug doesn't bite him. Just make sure he never wears number 49.

    Where would you go once Forest Home hits Mitchell? I suppose I could make my way over to 6th -- isn't that where the bike trail goes?

    I agree -- go to the doctor. In the meantime, you might want to purchase a desk made out of a softer material. You know... like STYROFOAM!!!!!!

    I will have the same theme in some dreams. For example, I was in the UW Marching Band. I have a dream that I show up the day of a game and am thrown on the field without any music, practice, or know where I should go. This same theme comes up in other dreams where I will show up for an exam without studying, or show up for work without knowing I had a meeting that day.

    My recent hernia surgery doesn't allow me to do this. Also, I don't know the best way to get from Greendale to Water Street...
  11. Samurai Bucky
    Please... I need a laugh. Would some of the Rickie Weeks apologists please write some banter about he really is a good leadoff hitter? I've added a few years to my life reading that.
  12. Samurai Bucky
    I don't know if this would work, but how about packing Weeks and Bush (plus maybe another) for Vicente Padilla? Then you call up Iribarren which can't be any worse at the plate then Weeks. Padilla isn't an "ace" by any means, but could be a valuable asset. I suppose it depends if the Rangers want to move Kinsler to 3B.

    Ummm... I think I would have tried to take that pitch with 2-0...

    I wish the 360 had free online gaming. That really does suck.
  15. Samurai Bucky
    I purchased a 360 shortly after I purchased my 52" LCD HDTV. The graphics are fantastic. The sound is great, too. I have only four games for it right now: Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Forza 2 Motorsports, Lego StarWars (the kids love it), and Madden '08. I find playing Madden '08 is very frustrating simply because if the learning curve. I don't know if that is a 360 thing, or if that is a Madden thing. I found that when watching standard DVDs on the 360, that the motion will not be smooth that often. I don't know if the PS3 is better at that or not. I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anybody. I haven't played a PS3. I know two families that have purchased a Wii and the novelty wore off after about a month or two.

    The selection committee will still screw them over when it comes time for... Wait... that is for hoops. Anytime I see RPI, I automatically go into " got screwed on their seeding" mode.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    I'm wondering if Ricky's current horrendous slump isn't a product of the coaches and some type of hitting philosophy. Almost the entire team is hitting crappy.

    It was one week ago today they wheeled me into surgery to take care of a double hernia. They used the scope, but I was anticipating a boat load of pain. I had heard some horror stories of how people were down for the count for two or even four weeks because the pain was so bad. I have had two surgeries on my forearm including a removal of the radial head and that was pretty painful. However, I was anticipating the worst. I thought back to what the doctor said when he gave me the rundown of what he was going to do: "Since we are using the scope, you should be able to walk in standing straight up. However, with the double hernia, I don't know exactly how you will be." One week later, I couldn't be happier. On a scale of pain being from 1 to 10 (10 being unbearable), my pain never got over a 3. It would be a 3 when I would try to get up out of bed the day after surgery. Some nice medicine took care of that http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif. I probably also pushed it a little bit too much by going to the Brewer game on Saturday and coaching a soccer game on Sunday. I didn't move around much even when I coached. I have my one-week follow-up appointment today. Hopefully he confirms how I feel. I still have 7 weeks to go until I can start working out and biking again. Still, I'm happy with how things have gone.

    Perhaps they feel like the bat is being taken out of their hands. Perhaps since they, in essence, have only two strikes to work with, they feel pressed. All I know is the entire team is not hitting as good as they should. You have one guy who is hitting over .300 and he was not under the direction of watchful eye of Skaalen until this year. There seems to be a lack of coaching or some type of philosophy that needs to change quickly.

    Guitar Hero III. That only takes up $90, though...
  21. Samurai Bucky
    I like how Gagne seems to be getting into a bit of a groove. The bullpen looks like it has been stepping up a little. Keep it up, boys!
  22. Samurai Bucky
    I don't think this is too far off base. Isn't this similar to what happened last year? Before this time next week, there will be plenty of threads talking about how Yost manages the staff.

    Here is the results of my antenna: Dang... it looks ugly... Seriously, it pulls in all channels in the Milwaukee station except it still has problems with 58. Channel 4 used to come in at a strength of 80 with the rabbit ears. Now, it comes in at 93 - 97. I couldn't get Channel 24, now it is at 91. 58 seems to come in only if we sit in the right part of the room. Perhaps if I would move the antenna to a different part of the room, it would come in better. I'm happy with it as it is. Actually, I'm very happy.

    I couldn't find a good picture of a Samurai, so I thought I'd throw in Goku from Dragonball Z. He's pretty tough... and honorable.
  25. Samurai Bucky
    I have a buddy in Neenah who subscribes to DirectTV. I guess he doesn't get the Green Bay FOX affiliate in HD because they still don't broadcast in HD. BTW: I think I'm going to try the antenna tonight. I just need to pick up the part where I plug in the cable...
