  1. He's not going to jinx anything, everyone. That's all hooey, you know. Now, he IS annoying as hell, so get ticked about that.
  2. If my house isn't destroyed by a tornado tonight, I'm looking forward to watching the Brewers extended Spring Training tryouts on MLB Network tomorrow afternoon!
  3. Rats. And I thought he had Craig called out on strikes before he walked him.
  4. Remember, though, the Counsellnino lineups had a freakish tendency to put up 7 runs.
  5. Lucroy has also caught for about a week straight. This lineup is worse than even the Counsellnino ones of yesteryear.
  6. Wang would've come in and thrown a slider on the outside corner.
  7. I'd give Lohse the crown with Yo next in line if Lohse is unable to fulfill his duties as my pitcher.
  8. And MLB Network is on a live look-in of a 3 run game in the 9th with one guy on instead of our game.
  9. could have struck him out 2 pitches earlier with a slider on the out side. Good god, man.
  10. Khris Davis really hasn't figured out how to hit at the major league level yet. Just full-blown homerun swings at anything that looks like it might be close as soon as it leave the pitcher's hand.
  11. From what happened yesterday and what reports are saying what could be coming, I wouldn't mess with this storm. I'm in the Atlanta area it's coming our way tomorrow. My neighborhood already got hit by a tornado a few years ago. Perhaps I should pay my homeowner's insurance tonight.
  12. "Gallardo is 1-11 with a 6.46 ERA in 17 career starts against the Cardinals." Thankfully, the Brewers tend to do well against "good" pitchers and then play horribly against pitchers like Jason Hammel. How many of those losses came as a Brewer?http://i.imgur.com/1iZUVNS.gif
  13. I expect Braun to stay healt...oh wait.
  14. I've always been very anti-PED, anti-steroid, but in the last year or two (probably not unrelated to Braun's saga), I've started to wonder if there's TOO much of a crackdown on PED's. Allow me to explain. I'm extremely against PEDs that have been proven or are highly likely to cause long-term health problems. It is unfair to ask a player, especially a fringe major league-type, to make a decision between short-term career success and his long-term well-being. For instance, say Players A and B are similar of similar quality, grinding it out in the minors and have reached AAA. They're the kinds of players who might be able to make it to the bigs, but very well could be AAA lifers. Player A decides to start doing steroids or some other PED to help get him over the hump, while the other stays clean. It is totally unfair to tell Player B, "Sorry, your unwillingness to potentially take years off your life and possibly harm both yourself and your family is going to cost you a chance to fulfill your dreams and ability to make money right now." Ban PEDs like that, that can definitely mess you up down the line. What I want to know, though, is if there are PEDs that are currently banned that can be totally fine to take as long as they are used under the guidance of a physician, just like any of us would take various medications with doctor supervision. In and of themselves, there is nothing wrong with "Performance Enhancing Drugs." Using modern science to improve one's performance or two speed healing should be encouraged. Hell, we all do this every day. We take anti-inflammatories, arthritis meds, blood thinners, boner pills, whatever. Athletes do the same. It has felt like, and I have no evidence of this, as I neither know what drugs are on the banned list nor am I a doctor, that the blanket ban on PEDs has been spread too wide and that there might be drugs/treatments that could be good for a player with no detriment to long-term health as long as a legit physician leads the way. If these players who have said they've taken PEDs just to "heal faster" are telling the truth, I'd really like to know if what they took could really be something useful and not dangerous if used properly. After all, nobody bats an eye at someone getting cut open to be fixed; we should all want to be able to get healthy with a pill or cream as long as it's safe.
  15. When I saw the thread title, I thought it was going to be about trying to get rid of Davis.
  16. Yeah, never heard that before. And the Packers totally could've won the Super Bowl last season. Obviously they weren't favorites to do so, but they were a dropped INT away from beating the 49ers. Yeah, Seattle would've been a major hurdle, but beating them wouldn't have been out of the question. Probable win the Super Bowl? Of course not. Possible? With Godgers, our team of receivers, and Lacy...of course.
