    I have a friend that went to work with a fever and he said there was nothing he could do he couldn't risk losing his job despite the fact he knew he was potentially exposing people to covid-19. I'm like, you're not just exposing your co-workers you're exposing their families if you don't at least tell people. He said I can't tell them because if I tell them I have a fever they won't let me come to work. Sigh....

    I want to see a team go 26 - 34, make the playoffs and go all the way to the World Series.

    Yup. Same as Jericho. I got other things going on in my life. Watching a lot of new series on Netflix, listening to a lot of new music, and getting some other stuff done around the house when I'm not at work. I *miss* baseball, but it's not impacting the quality of my life. I'll be happy if it comes back, I'll watch, and root, and cheer, but if it doesn't, it doesn't. I can't control what happens. None of us can. It is what it is. I'll roll with whatever happens. It's not that I don't care, but it's beyond my control. I'm not mad about these guys fighting over their billions, I just don't care how they resolve it.

    But.... is there any difference between eating McDonalds or Taco Bell in their dining room or at your house? It's not like Taco Bell is a fine dining experience. I have a few friends who are in quick service industry as general managers and they are busy as heck with drive through and delivery right now, and one good friend of mine is saying that there's talk that if trends continue, they may not open their dining room again. We were already headed this direction with fast food joints installing 'place your own order' kiosks and stuff, and this is just another way to cut labor force and save money on labor. Covid is just hastening the inevitable in some places.

    Yeah, that's where I'm at. I want a Wisconsin title. I don't care if it's in an empty arena. I mean, would it be *as* fun? No, but it would be a title, and I'd be super proud and I'd be happy. I mean, I'd rather have a Bucks 2019/20 world title hat/t-shirt than not, just because they played it in an empty arena.

    https://nypost.com/2020/05/27/brewers-brett-anderson-rips-mlbs-latest-return-proposal/ Our own Brett Anderson says this proposal makes the highest paid players out to be the bad guys when the union inevitably rejects this deal. He's not necessarily wrong.

    I watch a lot of Brit gangster movies and shows, and the "C" word gets thrown around rather casually in a lot of those shows. To the Brits (and Aussies), the C word is a generic term for "jerk" or "arsehole" or whatever you want to call it. It's definitely not in the same level of nuclear apocalyptic swearword that it is in the US. Apologize if I'm explaining something that people already know, but, there ya go.

    Beneath the veneer and bluster and shouting, Joe Rogan is an intelligent dude who likes to have interesting discussions with a wide array of guests outside his own knowledge zone. He gets knocked because hes UFC and smokes weed, but he's kind of an interesting guy.

    Here's the problem with all of that. The players literally are the ones "taking the risk" in this scenario. The owners are asking the players to go out and play, risk their health, their families health, and take a paycut, since apparently they don't want to honor the original deal. There are CEO's right now taking zero salary while their businesses are taking massive hits. I know, I know, you can't compare baseball to anything else. Doesn't matter. When you're an owner, you don't pass the financial risk on to your employees. You just don't. If your employee makes 13 dollars an hour or 17 million a year, if you're financially struggling, it is what it is. If you owe a guy 30,000 for a game check, that's what you owe them. You can't say "weeeeeell, we don't have fans in the stands, so I'm gonna cut you back a bit." 7-11 isn't cutting their people back 2 or 3 dollars an hour. It's not apples to apples, but the point is, if you're playing 80 games, pay the guys 80 games of what they're supposed to get PAID. THAT is the risk of being an owner. It always has been.

    Since it was mentioned..... Braun at 3B isn't even one of the top 5 Brewers 3B in franchise history. He played there one year, and because of his historically bad defense, he had what amounted to an overall average year. You can point at his legendary offense aaaaaaall you want. Clancy, I know you want to put a team full of Dave Kingman's out there, but defense matters, and Braun had a 2.0 WAR in 2007, and Tulo had a 6.8 WAR. I know awards aren't the WAR awards, but Tulo was absolutely robbed. Braun was pretty much an average player that year because of his brutal brutal, historically bad defense and your 15 year crusade to move him back to 3B is a disservice to how marginally average he's been as an outfielder, and the contributions he's made to the team in the years hence.

    I agree with something Snapper said a few posts ago. If I were a small business owner, who's shut down, and driving past Frosty Freeze and seeing 20-30 people lined up shoulder to shoulder for an ice cream cone, I'd be pretty hot right now. Ice Cream is not essential, and there's places that are closed that offer services that could conceivably open and operate safely at this point within the guidelines of social distancing and wearing masks and only allowing a few customers in at a time. I'm 100% for leaning towards safety and saving every life that can be saved until we gather more information about this thing, but I think there's a middle ground here, and having 40 people buy ice cream cones while small businesses that could safely operate shutter isn't it.

    It’s not really a choice. Do we want to trust private companies and maybe have some people get a flu-pneumonia like bug or do we want a food crisis? I’ll take the former. Trump ordered it in the name of continuing the food supply. Open the small businesses up too for that matter. Its not the flu.

    Gotta believe that if those early to mid 70's Brewers teams weren't so bad that Boomer would have been garnering a lot more MVP support than he did in the voting.

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29131481/dolphins-reveal-plans-host-fans-stadium Here's an interesting article in which the Dolphins brass lays out a plan in which they could feasibly host 15K people and still maintain some semblance of social distancing. I think this is still a ways off, but it would be a way to get fans back in the seats. I don't think this happens this season, but getting plans for having people in buildings incrementally is probably better than just saying "ok, on this date, we're gonna cram 65K people back in again"

    It's really hard to argue with Lucroy being the best/most consistent catcher in Brewers history. After that the waters muddy. For me I'd go 2) Nillson 3) Surhoff, but I could probably be swayed with a good argument that Porter or Simmons deserves the last spot. Wonder where Jonny Estrada falls on this list? :D :D :D

    Cooper's 5 year run from 79 to 83 was definitely better than Fielder's 5 year peak for Milwaukee from '07 to 11. I would also put Coop at the top. Cooper's rate stats suffer a little bit because he stayed the primary starter a bit longer than he should have as there just wasn't a viable replacement when he started to decline. But Cooper's 5 year peak as a Brewer matches anything anyone in the uniform has done in Milwaukee at the position and then some.

    To go along with that hopefully people will stay home from work when they're sick more often. Hopefully more employers will be encouraged to provide sick time for their employees. Something I doubt it will happen but it's nice to think about

    Question. Do I have to have watched Breaking Bad to watch Better Call Saul?

    I just binged Castlevania on Netflix, and I was really entertained. The amount of gore and body parts might be a turn off to some people, but the story telling is actually really well done, and yeah, it's another "Dracula is kind of a sympathetic character, in a way, if you look at it in a certain light" story, but there's enough going on to make it worth watching. Unlike a lot of Netflix originals, it's got a nice pacing to it, and it doesn't drag with a lot of unnecessary exposition to lengthen the seasons. Worth watching if you don't mind a lot of semi-realistic cartoon gore and gratuitous F-Bombs.

    adam, we have already adopted elbow bumps at work. At first it was kind of a funny, almost comical thing. But now it's custom, and I kinda like it.

    I don't think it is or is not a given that the Brewers retire Braun's number. There's a case to be made. Have they ever explicitly stated that the HOF is the absolute requirement for the team retiring a number? Braun won an MVP, led the team to the playoffs twice in 4 years for the first time in a generation, had a string of top 10 MVP finishes, and was one of the top 5 premier hitters in the NL for a good while. That being said, he also had the thing, which has been beaten to death. I think it's an interesting debate and lots of good points have been brought up on both sides, and it'll be interesting to see when he retires after the final numbers he tallies are counted and what the Brewers decide to do. I'm honestly good either way. I've always stood behind him. I think he's a generally good dude who did a crappy thing, let it snowball, and apologized for it, and paid for it. Like I said, the Brewers will decide if he belongs. I'm good either way. Whatever they decide, we've got our memories of the good times and playoff runs and walkoffs and everything else he accomplished. Retiring or not retiring a number doesn't take any of that away or change what he accomplished in an other wise really good career.
