  1. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/indifferent.gif Those are unfortunate misspellings if indeed unintentional. Why? Just like the seed for birds, Nyjer is often misspelled Nyger, both spellings would be pronounced the same...I'm not even sure if Nyger, in reference to the bird seed, is a misspelling or just an alternate spelling. The Nyjer spelling for the bird seed was, I believe, only invented out of the fear that people are to dumb to understand that it is a long "i" and a soft "g" in Niger, you know like the country in Africa, Niger, which is pronounced exactly like Morgan's first name. You can't be serious.
  2. The Cards broadcast showed a replay from a high angle behind home plate, one where you could see the entire infield. It was weird. It didn't look like Carpenter said anything - he actually had his back turned the entire time. Nothing was happening aside from Nyjer running his mouth (and flinging his dip) until Pujols decided to escalate it. I'm not saying Pujols did anything really bad, it's just that it seemed like the benches wouldn't have cleared had Pujols not run over. Molina, the hot head he normally is, was actually doing a nice job of calmly staying in between Nyjer and the infield while Nyjer was dropping f-bombs. I figure that had Pujols not come over, Braun, being the closest Brewer to Nyjer, would have probably gotten him out of there before anything bad happened. Then again, who knows, maybe Nyjer would have walked onto the infield and started something.
  3. I'm not going to fault Corey for swinging at a first pitch that was right down the middle.
  4. Scientists are currently working on recreating an alternate universe in which the Brewers do not trade Lawrie for Marcum, a non-event which eventually leads to the return of the dinosaurs and a Milwaukee Bucks NBA Championship.
  5. According to that, Braun is #1. Yuni and Casey are 2nd and 3rd last in WPA/LI, respectively. Funny thing is, Casey is 2nd best in the NL in "Clutch" on that list.
  6. Love the OBP - that's exactly what the lineup needs. Don't care at all about the lack of SLG.
  7. I'd rather have it be easy and non-nerve wracking, but yeah, I get where you're coming from. There's nothing more fun than winning a huge game at the end of the season. I just hate all the nail biting leading up to it.
  8. Playing at the Red Sox and the Yankees will typically hurt teams' road records.
  9. I will say that Westbrook has some great movement on his pitches today.
  10. Rats. A little more to the left and that likely scores at least one run, even if it was fielded by Furcal.
  11. TH just tweeted that Hairston left because of neck soreness. Day-to-day.
  12. You misread how "good luck" was used.
  13. What? Votto is definitely better than Braun and hasn't gotten lucky at all this season.You misread how "good luck" was used.
  14. The picture is from Kotsay's walk-off against the Dodgers on August 16th. You can see the three guys lined up from a different angle at about the 10 second mark here: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/ga...=recap_home&c_id=mil Yeah, it's a dumb question. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  15. A CC smash and a Kottaras cycle in one night. Yup, these are your 2011 World Series Champs.
  16. That's it. The Brewers are winning it all. It's over. All other teams should pack it up and go home.
  17. They showed a tidbit in the Giants/D-Backs game that said in 1975 Johnny LeMaster became the first player in MLB history to hit an inside-the-park HR in his first career AB. That must've been amazing. Imagine what was going through his head while it was happening. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god..."
  18. So in the greatest player of all-time rankings is it: 1. Ruth 2. Braun 3. Mays OR 1. Mays 2. Braun 3. Ruth ???
