    Taking the "wrong" guy in a baseball draft is far from a tragedy.

    Fortunately for Covey, colleges don't offer Spelling courses.

    No, it wasn't about the money. Of course not. http://a.imageshack.us/img225/5403/lovitz0tj.jpg

    I know, I mean how dare he give Dickerson a chance to play. He had to know that he was going to strike out three times.

    But hey, a baseball historian argued on ESPN today that fans want the drama of human error so they have something to talk about around the water cooler.

    This matchup may look close on paper, but in reality, I think Colorado should be slightly favored.
  7. dlk9s
    This is incorrect.

    I don't want anyone who I like, like Counsell, Sveum, Loretta, whoever. Why? Because if they become manager, I'll eventually dislike them.

    It's a Yohawk, bro.

    Neither would I. I wouldn't be surprised if a backup OF doesn't have many AB's after a few weeks. I also wouldn't be surprised if anybody had a bad 36 AB stretch at any point in the season. I don't see how Melvin "worked so hard to spin it." Everything he said is true. Good OPS, strong athlete, under team control for a while if he's good enough to stick around. I don't think anyone is guaranteeing him a roster spot. I will say, though, unless there is a better option out there (taking into consideration contract and/or what the Brewers would have to give up in a trade), he probably has a pretty good chance of making the team because there aren't many other options in the farm system right now. It's been said a thousand times in this thread, but I still don't think you are fully understanding it: Dickerson was had for a 40-year old, injured outfielder who was going to play for two more months on a team that is not going to make the playoffs. Most of us thought the Brewers would get absolutely zero for Edmonds. The fact that they got a cheap guy who has a solid shot at being at least a backup is gravy.

    Re-read the thread. If more than one or two people actually said that they expect Dickerson to be the next coming of Ken Griffey, Jr., I'd be surprised. If you have a better trade in mind that Melvin could have made for Edmonds, I'd be interested to hear it.

    Can someone please officially decide whether this is about Manny Parra's car or his pitching ability? This is important.
  14. dlk9s
    Yeah, Suppan was trying to keep the peace and then just got swept towards the fence by the mob. If I remember correctly, he was the between Carpenter and everyone else (well, except for Volquez, who was ended up between Carpenter and the fence).
  15. dlk9s
    I will say one thing about Dickerson - he physically looks good up at the plate.

    Brandon Phillips was just in the middle of a fracas with the Cards. Looks like Clutch Yadi started mouthing off to BP and they started getting in each other's face. And then it escalated.

    Actually, you just mentioned it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Ladies and Gentlemen...your 2010 Arizona Diamondbacks!

    Watching C.B. Bucknor call balls and strikes is so tilting.
  21. dlk9s
    Not sure what you expected the Brewers to get for a half-octogenarian with bad wheels and two months remaining with a team that isn't going to make the playoffs. It's a pretty solid return for Melvin.

    I'm sort of piggybacking off the Wild Card possibility thread. While I in no way think the playoffs are a reality (even though they are technically a possibility), I have been thinking about the Brewers' chances of at least having a winning record this year. That, I think most would agree, is well within the realm of possibility, even if it still might fall under the "unlikely" category (since we are still 6 under .500 and have some tough series remaining). To this point, most Brewers fans consider this season a disappointment. But is there any end result in which we don't make the playoffs where you all would consider this season NOT a disappointment? Would .500 make you feel good about this season? 82 wins? 85? More? What would be the victory mark, if any, that would change your feelings on 2010 from "disappointing" to "not disappointing?" To take it further, are there different win totals where you would be neutral versus actually happy about the season? Again, assuming we don't make the playoffs, since obviously we'd all be happy in that case. Personally, I'm undecided. I think I'd be pretty content with a .500 record and would consider it a pretty good season if we ended up higher than that. Somewhere in the 78-80 win range, though, and I'm not sure. Disappointment? Not necessarily. Happy? No.

    I have zero problem having Bush as a number 4/5 starter. Obviously, the lower in the rotation the better, as that likely means we have other guys who are better, but I think he's a perfectly decent back-end starter. This season has also been odd when it comes to walks (I'm not looking at the stats now, but I believe he historically doesn't walk many batters), so maybe it's a fluky thing this year. Unless we see all our young guys come up in the next few years and kick butt, we're just not going to have five starting pitchers who are all 1's and 2's. There are always going to be one or two "lesser" pitchers in the rotation, just like not every position player in the starting lineup is going to go for 25 HR and a .300 BA. No, I wouldn't want Bush as my 1 or 2, but at a reasonable price, I'm fine with bringing him back.

    Varsho was fired because most of the Pirates players should be on the bench and he just couldn't keep them all there.
  25. dlk9s
    I love it. He's been pitching pretty well lately, so I say let him get his four saves. Plus, it helps save Axford's arm. Hopefully, Macha and company talked to Axford about it; I assume they did. I also assume Axford is fine with it - he seems to really respect Hoffman. He'll get plenty of opportunities next season, and likely the rest of this season.
