  1. McGehee was the opposite of a veteran last season.
  2. I don't have a fantasy team.
  3. I would just get one of those convenience store warmers that keep rolling the sausage. That's got to make it actually reverse the cancer.
  4. Obviously, I'm no pitching coach, but I highly doubt Suppan's problems were related to mechanics. When I watched him pitch this year, his stuff looked fine, for the most part (in relative Jeff Suppan terms). Some pitches even showed some decent movement. His problem, like many soft tossers, is that he has to nibble at the corners to get people out, and when he isn't able to get ahead of hitters that way, he has to serve meatballs right over the heart of the plate. Unfortunately for Suppan and the Brewers, his stuff at this point in his career is worse than most soft tossers and even when he doesn't groove one down the middle, hitters are often able to size up his pitches and line them somewhere.
  5. Just to put your mind at ease, Edmonds would have been out by 30 feet if he had been sent. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  6. This just made me realize that like our old "Counsellino" platoon at 3rd, we could call the CF platoon "Go Diego Go!"
  7. Mariano Rivera: May 21st vs. Mets - 1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER Bill Hall: May 28th vs Royals - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER Equivalent outings. Bill Hall is a better pitcher than Mariano Rivera.
  8. geddymd73 must be a gimmick account or something. He's got to be leveling us.
  9. Yeah, I don't know why Aybar tried to keep his foot on the bag so long. A proper "neighborhood" tag may have kept him out of harm's way. Not his fault, though. Just happened.
  10. Of course it hurt him, since he had to sit out two games. But considering he came back after sitting out a couple days, I highly, highly doubt it was anything more than a bad bruise. I mean, I suppose there could have been some hairline fracture or torn muscle (a la Bushie), but I really doubt it. Braun has had injuries in the past that have put him on the bench, so I don't think he'd all of a sudden hide something that was truly bothering him. More than likely, he's just in a slump, which he will come out of at some point.
  11. I agree. He seems to be pressing, which players often do when they are in slumps. I did notice, though, that the last couple games he has been swinging through fastballs down the middle, but I can't imagine that it is because of his elbow since he got hit around a month ago.
  12. Nope. Wouldn't have even been close. Gomez was just interviewed on MLB Network. They asked him if he picked up the 3rd base coach or if he went for 3rd all on his own. He said it was his decision, and he was going the hole way. He said nobody was covering and there was no way the throw and catcher would beat him to the base because he's fastest player in the league. Nice.
  13. On the bright side, it was nice to see Riske finally get back on the mound and look good. Smith and Hoffman did nice jobs, too. I have a feeling the bullpen will start to improve.
  14. Yeah, that ump is known for his demonstrative K calls.
  15. I'll tell you what, I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Riske does when healthy. He's a decent enough pitcher - we just haven't seen him in one piece.
  16. He seems to be hitting the ball pretty hard for the most part, although I haven't seen all the games.
  17. I would have felt really bad for Bush if he didn't get the guy out. He threw some really nice pitches that AB that kept getting fouled off.
  18. He's looked fine to me.
  19. More than victories, what I want from this series is for the Brewers to carry themselves with the grace and dignity befitting Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, or for that matter, Al Hrabosky.
  20. Personally, I think the game would have been much more special had the correct call been made and the pitcher gotten to celebrate his perfect game. That, and Jeff Joyce's life would be better because he wouldn't have ruined Gallaraga's moment. If the game is talked about for a longer time than the other perfect games, it's for a bad reason. I believe fans will enjoy the game more if the correct calls are made. Only those into schadenfreude enjoyed the blown perfect game call.
