  1. For those not in the FS-WI viewing area, MLB Extra Innings is available for free for the first week again. But again, almost all the games are in SD, not HD. Hello, 2013.
  2. So...the forecast for the rotation isn't good?
  3. Kershaw is going to get like 12 years, $400 million at this rate.
  4. Yup, those were always my favorites. My family and I used to go to baseball card shows every weekend to meet players, get their autographs, and have our (mine and my brother's) picture taken with them. It was mostly scrub Brewers, but I didn't care. It was great. I had the pictures all over my bedroom. And I didn't care that someone personalizing the autograph made it worthless. It was fun. Hell, I have a totally devalued Mickey Mantle autograph because it is on a Little League baseball along with Mike Hegan, Pete Vuckovich, and Ken Sanders. I mean, I got to meet Mickey Mantle! Who cares if it's not worth anything? One of my random favorites is actually a Don August autograph. My brother and I got our picture taken with him once and then the next year we knew he was going to be at a card show, so my dad brought the picture and he signed it. He thought that was pretty cool.
  5. I used to be a big collector, but stopped around when Upper Deck launched and packs of cards started to cost a few bucks rather than 35 cents.
  6. The value of a business is more than just how much profit it makes in a given year.

  8. Yeah, I don't care how good the team was during the regular season. If they make the playoffs and go on to win the World Series, it will be amazing. I do care more about team continuity, though. For example, I don't understand how it is satisfying or fun to be a Kentucky basketball fan. Great, you get the best of the best recruits to go to your school to win a championship (lol 2012-2013 Wildcats) and then they leave after a year. They really don't identify with the school at all; they're just pros who supposedly delayed getting paid to play for a year. EDIT: Not saying I wouldn't be extremely happy if the Brewers "bought" a WS title. I just would be a lot happier if they won a crown with guys that felt like "true Brewers."
  9. Let us never forget:
  10. Sounds reasonable.
  11. Yuni has never faced Chacin. The Brewers have fared well overall against Chacin. Braun, though, has been owned. 0-6 with 3 K's.
  12. http://i.imgur.com/9Xrqw.gif TLB's is one of my all-time favorite .gif's, though. I should've had that one queued up.

  15. I think I'm like the only person who doesn't really care about losing the draft pick. I mean, I know why it's bad, but for some reason, maybe it's the crapshoot aspect of the draft or maybe it's the lack of recent success of our first round picks, who knows, but I'm just shrugging my shoulders at it. I don't like who gets an extra pick, though. As for Lohse himself, I figure he'll be fine for at least the first two years of the contract. The problem with the team right now is that they are unlikely to be bad enough to land high in the draft nor good enough to make the playoffs. The starting rotation, as it stood before Lohse, looked like it was much more likely to be bad than good, so we'd probably just end up with one of those useless slightly-below-average seasons. Our best chance to move either up or down was probably to bolster the rotation and move up, thus the Lohse signing.

  17. I have a feeling it's like this everywhere. I went opening day (night) in Atlanta last year since the Brewers were in town and it was awful. Drunk college kids and 20-somethings were way over-represented.
  18. The Brewers could maybe use a boost to the starting rotation.
  19. You know MLB is handling things poorly when a total anti-drug guy like me is rooting for the PED users and peddlers.
  20. I'm actually starting to enjoy this whole fiasco. It's getting very entertaining and no matter what someone's opinion is on the matter, they have a villain against which to root!
  21. It says "RYAJ BRAUN." This whole thing was just a misunderstanding.
  22. The Brewers and Twins are tied for the most players from their organizations in the WBC: 13.
  23. Meh. It's one game, and essentially a Spring Training game at that.
