  1. Thomas was also 6'5." Just look at a picture of him, his body type is nothing like Fielder's. I've stood next to Prince while he was in cleats in Beloit and he wasn't even 5'10." My guess is 5'9." Yeah, I don't know how anyone can compare Fielder and Thomas from a body type standpoint. Thomas was tall and all muscle. At the same time, I personally feel that concerns over Fielder's body are overblown. I understand the concerns, especially as a guy in his mid-30's who is discovering what it means to not be able to eat junk food all the time, but I just think the worries are a tad exaggerated. The guy has barely missed a game in his entire career and from what I can tell, maintains a healthy diet and works hard at his craft. I suppose I'd be a little concerned with him being one of those guys who gets the big payday and then slacks off, but there isn't really anything to suggest he wouldn't continue to work his butt off (no pun intended).
  2. It's Bobby V: http://twitter.com/#!/GordonEdes/status/141672012975321088
  3. And at the age of 58 he still might be better than Bill Hall! Oh, whoops. Haha. Forgot that we weren't going back that far. I even read all the posts!
  4. I'd put Jim Gantner as the backup 2B. He's as homegrown a player as there's ever been.

  6. A former MLB'er (very good player for a couple years, career was derailed by injuries - now makes appearances on TV) is good friends with a relative of mine. I've met him and we've become friendly acquaintances and he's on my Facebook friends list. I messaged him a couple weeks ago and asked him if he was as nauseated as I was by the Cards winning the World Series. His response, "Well for your glass half full angle. La Russa retired." Nice.
  7. You mean this? http://i.imgur.com/AiYGk.gif
  8. Why write 1,000 words when I can just post a picture that says it all?

  10. I got an idea...let's have more former Brewers I like manager our division rivals. How about Jeff Cirillo in Cincy? Mark Loretta in Pittsburgh? It's about time I start disliking them.
  11. Yeah, yeah, we know you hate Prince Fielder. You bring it up whenever you can.
  12. Move everyone to first base!
  13. Does not compute. Explain, please.
  14. That's it, I'm gluing a baseball mitt to my son's hand when he turns 3 in December.
  15. And then moved Braun to RF.
  16. 1:17? That's celebrating, not showboating. Plus, it seems like he made a conscious effort to cut the celebration short (namely the holding the bat up in the air part), lest it look like showboating.
  17. Oquendo could serve in every coaching position in the same game!
  18. If the biggest complaints about Provus is that he laughs at Uecker too much and has an odd way of pronouncing "Gonzalez," then I think he's done a fine job. Since I don't live in Wisconsin any more and haven't subscribed to the MLB radio package in a couple years, I'm not very familiar with his skills, but from the little I have heard, I think Provus has done a very good job. The Brewers are fortunate to have a good set of announcers, both on radio and TV.
  19. I understand exaactly what you are saying in general and I do tend to agree. However, without Braun the Brewers possibly don't win the division/or even make the playoffs. That to me shows just how valuable he is. I think they are quite close. And if Braun and Kemp switched places, the Brewers would likely have won the division and the Dodgers would likely have been around a .500 team. Obviously the Brewers would have been worse, and probably a lot worse, without Braun. Likewise, the Dodgers would have been worse, and probably a lot worse, without Kemp. If one wants to take the "Valuable" word literally, it should be used on an absolute scale, not on a relative scale, as each team is different. Ryan Braun has more relative "value" to the Brewers than he would for the Yankees (for simplicity's sake, ignore the fact that the Yankees are in the AL), but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be MVP if he was on the richest team in baseball just because they are stacked with or without him.
  20. I hope when people say they would be "all-in" for Sizemore, they aren't using the term "all-in" as it's used in poker because that would not be a wise move.
  21. It must be so hard to be a Yankees fan.
  22. Say what you will about Braunie, but he's definitely a good enough hitter to win a Gold Glove.
  23. http://espn.go.com/mlb/st...e-brewers-decline-option Your eyes do not fail you. The Brewers decline Yuni's option. http://i.imgur.com/yv3SO.gif
  24. The difference in strike zones is just appalling.
