    Given that the Brewers are going to be paying Suppan and Hall roughly 20 million next year, I'd say that's going to limit Melvin's financial freedom somewhat. If it's a cheap deal, and by cheap I mean << 4 mil or so, it'd be worth considering, but at anything close to 8 mil or more, the risk probably isn't worth the reward. I'd rather see whatever available funds the team has put into someone who's not coming off a year and a half layoff with an extensive injury history to boot.

    Not that you can see it, but it's my laptop's new desktop background. I imagine that'll last a while.

    I was sitting too far behind the guy with the gun. If I had to guess just based on what I saw with my eyes, I'd say he was maxing at 90 or so. He looked sharp the first 2 innings, then just got clobbered, and didn't get out of the third. There really was nothing redeeming to take out of this game. 8 wild pitches, multiple hit batters, just brutal play in the field, it was as ugly as ugly could be.

    I went to the Snappers/'Rattlers game tonight (19-8 Snappers), and I have to say, it is easily the most entertaining, and sloppily played games I've ever seen. There was absolutely just about a little bit of everything in this game. Nice, with the Snappers being local, I had rooting interest for both teams.

    I did pretty good on the HOF quiz, I had 166, with most of the ones I didn't get being the somewhat obscure negro league players that are in. I got Irvin, Paige, Bell, Gibson, and O'Neill, and that's about it.

    I'm completely hooked. And doing a quiz once only means I want to do better the next time.

    If it's gmail, your problem is going to be that gmail only allows download to one mail client (unless you use recent mode), even if you do set the settings of your webmail to leave the message on the server.

    If Corey Patterson is getting regular playing time (anything more than 300 PA's) then it's obvious we're punting the season. I don't give a rip what he's doing in a small sample in AAA, the guy has a career OBP of .291. He'd be one of the 5 worst offensive regulars in the league. I will leave the room when he bats if I'm watching the game on tv. Even taking defense into account, he's subpar at his absolute best. And taking recent history into account, that .238 OBP in 2008 was terrific. You can get that out of most pitchers. I'm honestly shocked that any view him as a viable stop gap, if even only for one year.

    I was able to name 78 of 95. Some of them I can't believe I missed.

    Putting it in this forum, as it is MLB related. Post results! http://www.sporcle.com/games/cyyoungwinners.php

    The Kennedys are the closest thing America's ever had to a 'Royal Family', and really, Ted's death pretty much marks the end of the line. I don't know of any other aspiring Kennedy politicians, but then, I don't care too much either.

    This has to be an attempt at a joke, or you work for Pic n Save. C'mon, which is it?

    I, for one, I'm sure, actually agree with this decision. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4424048 SAN FRANCISCO -- An appeals court ruled Wednesday that federal agents were wrong to seize the infamous drug list and samples of 104 Major League Baseball players who allegedly tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. In a 9-2 vote, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with three lower court judges who chastised investigators who had a warrant for only 10 drug test results as part of the BALCO investigation into Barry Bonds and others..................

    and is a DH worth that much money regarless how well he hits? Absolutely. The difference between a good fielding and mediocre fielding 1st baseman is only about 1 win per season. You have to be either very good or poor or worse at 1st base to have much of an impact on wins and losses with the glove.

    The only problem with ramen is the ridiculous amount of salt in it, as is the problem with most pre-packaged food. I will admit I do buy Ramen noodles for at work, but I use only about 1/3rd of the seasoning package, and take frozen veggies and some diced chicken breast to add in. For me right now, 'eating healthy' is cutting sodium. The average diet should in all reality have less than 1,500 mg of sodium per day, but if you eat 3 pre-packaged meals from a grocery store, you're well over 2,500 mg, so the FDA raised what was 'acceptable' for sodium intake some years ago. One can of Chef Boyardee is over 1,700 mg of sodium. 3 slices of most frozen pizza is well over 1,200. Like I said in a previous post, even the 'reduced sodium' canned soups are still about 650 mg of sodium per serving and they call one small can 2 servings. A slice of processed cheese is 250 mg of sodium. Even eating at home, if you make one burger on a bun with catsup and mustard and a slice of cheese, you're pushing 750-800 mg of salt. It's hard to even find bread that's less than 180 mg of sodium per slice. We stay completely away from canned vegetables, any kind of pre-packaged meals, and I don't add salt to anything except meat on the grill and eggs. I know it sounds like I'm harping on salt, to the exclusion of all else, but I have high blood pressure, and it's a constant struggle to eat HEALTHY food that's also low in sodium. And I still really struggle to meet my personal goal of 1,400 mg of sodium a day.

    Eating cheap and eating healthy are nearly mutually exclusive. Anything at all that comes in a box or a can is just loaded down with sodium, even the 'low sodium alternative!'(s). The cheapest way to shop is to go Wal-Mart, and buy the Great Value brand, as long as you don't care about quality. Most of the time, it's exactly the same composition as the name brand equivalent. It's just that neither the name brand or the Great Value are remotely close to healthy.

    Giants.........great pitching, crap hitting. Brewers.......good hitting, crap pitching. Send them Fielder+ for Matt Cain+ Hardy+ to Boston or Toronto for a young pitcher. I heart Jacob Ellsbury, but there's no way they're giving him to us for a package centered around Hardy. Mostly I'm joking, slightly I'm not. It's early, and I'm tired. I don't know what to do about 1st base if we trade Fielder, and I'm too lazy to look up potential 1B free agents. Maybe Gamel gets hot the rest of the season and proves he belongs in Milwaukee on opening day 2010, but I have my doubts about that. 2B Weeks SS Escobar LF Braun 1B ? CF Cameron RF Hart 3B McGehee/Counsell C Salome Bench: Gerut, Counsell, Rivera/FA stopgap, Heether or Irraberen, Cat Rotation Yo Cain Bush Parra Young pitcher acquired in Hardy trade.

    I strongly suspect perks like this matter not at all to almost all players. In fact Fielder's been critical of the Brewer fan base in the past for booing players at home.

    Magic Jack is nothing close to being magic. It's a royal pain in the patoot. I haven't used it, but have spoken with and worked with people who have tried it, and have never heard a positive thing said about it.

    Williams played in 13 seasons (11 full seasons) after integration, and only one of those (his next to last year) was his OPS below 1.000. The 233 OPS+ he posted in 1957 was the highest of his career. At the age of 38.

    Yeesh. Y'know, I expect relatives to kind of turn a blind eye to the wrongdoings, but the mom's comments are borderline sick. "I guess I just grew up in a time when it was understood you minded our own business and don't get involved in other people's affairs" Not a direct quote, but that's the very basic gist of what she said. Truly sickening.

    Sad day for anyone who ever played the guitar that bore his name.

    If we're spending 2.6 mil (or so) on Davis for the rest of the year, for the sake of getting the type B comp, losing any kind of even decent prospect really makes that a silly move. Like someone else said, if it's a Vinny Rottino type, sure fine. On the other hand, why would AZ want to potentially give up a type B comp pick for the sake of getting a Vinny Rottino? Yes, there's a little bit of salary relief, but this one just doesn't make too much sense.
