    Aw come on, just go to the entire series.

    They should probably just fire him, Roenicke, Melvin, Ted Thompson, and Mike McCarthy already.

    Regardless of what anyone thinks of Casey, we all have to admit that he's sporting a great beard right now.

    There are only a handful of players in the league as good as or better than Ryan Braun. If McGehee gets a Ryan Braun contract, I'd be concerned, but he's not going to, so I won't be.

Judge him on his offensive, abilities, defensive abilities, character, and overall future potential, not on what the Cubs thought of him a few years ago. Mike Piazza wasn't exactly a can't miss prospect either (and no, I'm not saying McGehee is a future HOF'er).

    Unless you count the bat impacting the ball.

    It's definitely been in existence for at least a year, but it's still a fun reminder for everyone who hasn't found TweetsFrom1982 yet.

    The problem isn't that pitchers should be able to throw more innings, it's that they don't and therefore their arms are not used to the added strain when they are called upon to pitch more than usual. Sure, starting pitchers could probably throw more pitches and eat up more innings than they do, but they would need to train for it first.

    This would be incredible.

    I figure if he's smart he should definitely wear some sort of protective cast, glove, club, something.
  11. dlk9s
    To signal to the pitcher whether to throw it inside or outside, obviously.

    Braun is going to be NL MVP. I just have a feeling he's absolutely going to rake. I'm talking .330 with 40 HR and even 20+ SB. I think he's made that he had to go through the Ken Macha era and with the pitching injection and the probably loss of Prince, he's going to take it upon himself to win the division. I'm normally pretty even keeled when it comes to my thoughts and emotions about my teams, but I have really good feeling about this team. Like an "ESPN won't be able to ignore the Brewers by June" feeling.

    Let's not forget that the Panthers have been a pretty competitive franchise. Not consistently good, but they've had some very nice seasons in their short history, including a Super Bowl appearance. And the Lions are actually a pretty good example of my point. They haven't been terrible because of financial inequities. They've been terrible because they didn't know how to put together a good team. Now that they finally have management in place that seems to have a clue, they have made better personnel moves and look like they could make the playoffs within the next year or two or three. Also, I don't know if it's fair to say "you can make the playoffs with a sub .500 record" in the NFL. Yes, the Seahawks did, but that was the first time it ever happened. It was a freak occurrence. Let's not forget the the Padres came really close to that feat a few years ago. I can actually see the Royals making the playoffs within the next few years. They might have a perfect storm finally brewing with a ton of young talent about to appear on the scene. And it's not like they are in a powerhouse division.

    Of course there are bad teams each season in every sport. But in football, teams that are bad on a year in, year out basis are bad because they are poorly managed, don't draft well, etc. Of course, some teams have a down year or two or three because they are just in a down cycle, like Carolina. In baseball, most teams that are consistently in the bottom half (or so) of the league are there because they don't have the financial resources to compete. Obviously, spending money does not automatically equal success (see: Cubs, Orioles, and Dodgers) and some organizations with low payrolls also have crappy management (see: Pirates), but in general, if you don't have money, you don't have a reasonable chance to compete consistently. You either have to have the perfect storm of prospects maturing and becoming really good at the same time like Tampa or just go balls to the wall gathering free agents and then breaking up the team, like Florida has. Milwaukee is in an in-between situation this year, with their young core guys starting to peak and management going out and gutting the farm system to try to make a run for a year or two. In short, in baseball, it is extremely hard to win without money, although money doesn't guarantee championships. In football, every team is on a relatively even plane, so the best run organizations win.

    But can he pitch?
  16. dlk9s
    Is it just me, or does dedicating a thread (partially) to who will be disappointments before the season even starts seem unnecessarily pessimistic?

    Sick bump

    At the time, I was annoyed that the Brewers were moving to the NL because, like you, I grew up with AL ball, but I've gotten used to it at this point. I guess I really don't care anymore. It's got to be easier putting together an AL team, though.

    This.

    I was at the Brant Brown game. I was 2 weeks old at the time of the Don Money game. Feel old, JohnBriggs? OFF TOPIC EDIT: I just looked at the Brant Brown date and wondered how I could have been there, as I wasn't living in Milwaukee anymore. Then I remembered that it was when I was hanging out at home between college graduation and starting my job. Then I also remembered that three days later, I met my wife.

    It seems like the Nats' 40-man is at about 75 right now. They've signed everybody this offseason.

    Slow pony to the Gaylord Perry discussion here. I think people don't condemn Perry for doctoring the baseball because it was almost like a comical game. Everyone knew Perry was messing with the ball, and he knew they knew, but he did it anyway. Try to catch him. Then it became a head game with the batters - they were sure he was doing it even if he wasn't. It seems to me that many people were actually impressed with Perry's resourcefulness and sneakiness. That, combined with the comedy of the whole thing, makes him a fun character, not a villain.

    I have a 2-year old son and a 4-year old daughter and I've been trying to reinforce Packers/Brewers/Bucks/University of Virginia (sorry UW fans, plus I'm a big Marquette fan) without ramming it down their throats - I live in Atlanta. I think it's working. This past week, my daughter has told me she likes the Packers, Brewers, and Virginia, and my son has started to say "Yay Packers!" every time he sees football on TV. My daughter also says she likes every team and seems to sort of like the Eagles because I was cheering for them against the Giants a few weeks ago.

    ...that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    I predict that the Cubs will get sucked into a black hole and will end up playing baseball in an alternate universe. An alternate universe without an alternate ending.
