  1. That hat is terrible.
  2. From 6:00am to noon, the one-hour show, Quick Pitch, is replayed. It's a baseball "Sportscenter." They also play it at 1:00am and 2:00am. I've noticed the most repetitiveness in the live look-ins late at night, but that's understandable, since it's just west coast games at that point. I've seen a lot of Dodgers, Giants, and D-backs highlights this season.
  3. I'm watching the archive of TGJ's AB right now on MLB.tv. Gwynn is getting a HUGE ovation before he even steps to the plate.
  4. I've seen plenty of live look-ins where it's a situation like two on, two out and the batter grounds out. My only issue with MLB Network (and it's not like it wasn't expected) is that the programming is very repetitive. It's highlight and the Cubs/Pirates game from 1991 all day.
  5. It would be funny if Peavy beats the Cubs on Friday, then gets traded to the Cubs at some point this season and they miss the playoffs by one game.
  6. Braun would have been out by a mile. Lee had the ball before Braun was even at third base, and he had it in relatively shallow left field.
  7. Suppan has some really nice movement on his pitches so far.
  8. I think people are forgetting that there would not have been two runners on base for Braun because Counsell would have hit hit a homer to tie the game.
  9. If you're talking about the decision to start Hall, I don't see how that was a bad choice. Hall is one of the best in the league against lefties.
  10. I think it's funny that the Brewers are on ESPN.com's front page headlines section because the winning streak ended, but couldn't get on the front page DURING the streak (except for Weeks' injury).
  11. Exactly. As soon as the pitch left Sampson's hand, I could see it was starting low and away and I just knew that a) it was going to break, and b) Hall would swing at it.
  12. The Brewers didn't eat their Wheaties today. All the big hits, except for Cameron's, are just short of the wall. If this is how Wandy has pitched all season, I don't get how his ERA is so low. He hasn't looked like he's been fooling many hitters.
  13. I only just tuned in at the beginning of the 3rd, but from what I've seen, the guys are seem to be seeing the ball well against Wandy. Just can't string together hits. Braun and Fielder were fairly close to getting us on the board this inning.
  14. I've said it before, but Cameron looks at more third strikes than anyone I've ever seen. Hey, I still love him, though.
  15. I don't miss for one second someone who wanted out of Milwaukee so badly that he sabotaged the team in order to get traded.
  16. If you forget the "nerd" stats and just watch the two players, it is painfully obvious that Soriano is a terrible fielder. There is no possible way that he is better than Braun. Braun is still learning how to play out there, obviously, but he doesn't make an ass out of himself every week like Soriano does.
  17. I don't get how rolling over and smiling was "showboaty." He was happy he made a great catch, something he is not known to do. He knows it, his teammates know it, and he smiled and savored it for what, one second? Hell, maybe he was winded from the run and dive and was taking a second to collect himself and rather than lay face down, he rolled over and smiled. This all reminds me of when I played baseball in high school. I was the only person who smiled in our team picture. I asked a teammate why nobody else smiled and he said, "It shows we are serious about the game." Um, sorry, but I took the game seriously, but you know what? I still wanted to have fun. Smiling and having fun doesn't show a lack of seriousness or disrespect. All of this talk is mindboggling to me.
  18. I think Atlanta's alternates are terrible. They look like batting practice jerseys or t-shirt jerseys. The Brewers should have a game where they wear Milwaukee Beers uniforms.
  19. I STILL don't understand what these "antics" are that people talk about when it comes to Braun. I'll admit that since I don't live in Wisconsin anymore, I haven't actually watched most of the games since he's been in the bigs (I have watched almost all of them this season, thanks to MLB.tv), but I read about every game and watch all the highlights. I can think of three times he did some showboating: the infamous walk and stare into the Brewers dugout against Houston, last year when he admired a big homer at St. Louis, and this year when he walked for a couple steps and then stuck out his tongue rounding first against the Cubs (it was the Cubs, right?). The Houston one was pretty bad, but it wasn't even directed towards the other team (he seemed to be goofing with Prince or something) and he apologized for it. The St. Louis one, meh - not real cool, but if someone is going to admire a blast, a late-inning shot is a time to do it. And then the Cubs blast, he had been beaned in his previous AB, took a couple slow steps and then went into his HR trot. The tongue thing was nothing - he was obviously celebrating with his excited, home crowd. He was happy. Sue him. I'm a stickler for sportsmanship, but if a guy watches a homer once in a while, whatever. I've actually kept an eye on Braun's homer "antics" since the Houston incident and he almost always just puts his head down and starts making his way around the bases. I wouldn't call admiring a homer once a year a sign of a jerk or a cocky player. And oh, no! He smiled and had one second of enjoyment after his diving catch! Oh, no!
  20. No. Soriano is terrible. Braun isn't great, but he doesn't routinely butcher plays like Soriano does.
  21. Villy was careful not to wake a sleeping giant after that last K.
