    I would pay a not insignificant amount of money for the Brewers to do the exact same celebration if someone hits another walk-off against the Giants this year.
  2. dlk9s
    Mike Golic just went off on the Giants and Zito on "Mike & Mike in the Morning." It was great. He made sure to point out that it was the entire Brewers team that was in on the celebration, so the Giants should really plunk every player if they want payback.
  3. dlk9s
    I think the plunking was just a diversion. Everyone is going to think that Giants are satisfied that they got their payback, but in reality, that was the fake beaning. Prince will now be nice and comfortable in the batter's box the first time the Brewers face the Giants, "knowing" nothing will happen. Then BAM! A 97 MPH gasser to the ribs!

    Is that like TYME (as in Time)? I got a lot of strange looks after moving out of Wisconsin when I needed money and asked where a TYME machine was.

    That's Invader's point. He's saying Melvin is a much better GM than the ones for the teams he named and therefore could do much better than them with their budgets.

    Didn't want to start a new thread about this, and since this is the thread about the roster, I figured I'd mention that ESPN's Jayson Stark ranked the Brewers as the 3rd most improved team in the NL. No reasons given, although I assume it's because of the pitching. http://sports.espn.go.com...=stark_jayson&id=4918467

    I don't know, everyone, I'm really afraid that an hour of swinging for the fences can undo years of proper training.
  8. dlk9s
    Possibly, but he should at least call when he gets home.
  9. dlk9s
    This is assuming everyone plays at least decently compared to their potential (meaning: I don't need Hart to hit .330 and have 40 HR's, but let's not have a .230, 7 HR season, either): Weeks Escobar Braun Fielder McGehee Hart Gomez Zaun P I went with Escobar in the 2-slot to help stay out of DP's ahead of Braun (don't know his DP stats, but I assume with his speed, he does ok) and create some havoc on the basepaths with Weeks. McGehee behind the boppers because his pitch selection has been good and he has some pop. Zaun 8th because if Gomez can get on base at least somewhat frequently, I'd rather have a legit hitter behind him instead of the pitcher, which would waste his speed. I wouldn't be against McGehee or Hart in the 2-hole, either.

    Gord Ash was at the hearing. According to the Brewers' negotiator, there were "no surprises." http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/84159512.html

    I like how Caple fit in an oh-so-creative jab at Prince's weight in that article.

    Let me guess, the hosts basically boiled their argument down to: "Bud is an evil commissioner who allowed steroids to run rampant", right?Don't forget the All-Star Game tie!

    That was a great interview with Todd Coffey.

    I actually did a special project while I was getting my MBA at Emory University in which I, along with a handful of my classmates, tried to determine the economic impact the Carolina Panthers had on Charlotte/Charlotte metro area. It was REALLY hard to do and in the end, we weren't all that confident about our numbers. I'd have to dig out the report from the archives to remember the dollar amount, but we did address the non-monetary impact of the team and decided it was greater than any dollar figure. Yeah, cop out, I know. It was cool to meet the Panthers' president and get to go in the Panthers locker room, weight room, and on the field, though!

    This may sound lame, but tall, lanky guys typically have longer, loping strides when they run, making it look like they aren't trying hard. I'm not as tall as Corey, but I have long legs and had a long stride when I played sports back in the day. When I ran track, my mom always told me that I looked like I barely needed to put forth any effort. I assured her that my body told me otherwise.

    The bottom line with Braun is that he did what he felt was best for him and what he wanted out of life (and maybe he was thinking of the team a little, too). He was more than happy with the millions upon millions of dollars that are guaranteed over the life of the contract and did not feel that waiting for an even bigger payday was worth the risk. It was not a stupid or a smart decision. It was just a decision. There are perfectly reasonable arguments to be made either way. To stay it's "stupid" is going overboard.

    Ken Macha will have a huge year, giving someone the green light to steal at least once per week.

    Those of you who are jumping into the thread to criticize the Brewers for being petty need to a) read the JSOnline article, and b) read the thread. There is, as Invader and others have pointed out, a legitimate reason for the fee request. I mean, come on, do you really think the Brewers would be so greedy as to try to squeeze that little bit of money out of bar owners just for the heck of it?

    I wish him all the best. http://danny-knobler.blog...s/entry/8590096/19783010

    That's just crazy talk. In 2008, after being recalled from his short stint in Nashville, Bush had a 3.83 ERA and a slash line of .225/.278/.416/.694. His numbers were even better from July 1st on. In 2009, before his injury, he was not as good as in 2008, but still a solid pitcher, posting a 4.38 ERA and a line of .250/.322/.491/.813. When right, Dave Bush is a pretty decent pitcher. He's no #1 or #2 or anything, but I'm more than happy to have him in the rotation. Heck, we've seen that when he's on, he even has no-hit stuff!

    My 3-year old daughter picked out her JJ Hardy t-shirt to wear today. Made me a little sad. She is wearing it backwards because she wanted to see the 7.

    Better make me some popcorn, this is about to get good. http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4821/903cluof2.gif
