  1. Roberts Gamel Braun Fielder Man-Ram Hardy Hart Kendall Sabathia Wait...what?
  2. Hmm, I've never really considered the importance of OBP in football or basketball. I'll have to do some analysis. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  3. Plus, my aunt and uncle were building a house across the street from his. I was dreaming of going to visit, then having Molitor invite me over to play catch. Bando killed me.
  4. I think this is the final piece that will put the Cubs over the top.
  5. Through a wide angle lens! HYACHACHACHA EDIT: I'm just keeeeding.
  6. If they aren't, the building should just be burned down to put an end to the idiocy.
  7. Personally, I feel that Weeks and Hart are asking for too much (not saying they won't get it). I could live with $8 million for Prince.
  8. 790 The Zone in Atlanta had Andruw Jones on yesterday morning and boy oh boy, was it a debacle. Words can't really describe how terrible Jones sounded. It was pathetic. The guys who interviewed him have been doing sports radio in Atlanta for a long time and are among the best and most professional interviewers I've ever heard (Pete Carroll thanked them twice the other day for doing such good research). One of them, Chris Dimino, is a baseball guru who has done some work with MLB.com. He has done tons of in-depth solo interviews with baseball players and was one of the last to interview Ted Williams (who also commented on how impressed he was with Dimino's knowledge). The guys were SO pissed off when they got off the phone with Jones. You can tell as the interview goes on that they are just trying to be done with it. They (especially Dimino) have known Jones ever since he was called up to the majors and they were insulted by his apparent disinterest in speaking with him, particularly when Jones needs to start working on some PR. It was like he doesn't care about his career anymore. I'll let you all listen: http://multimedia.790thez...21763337/andruw-jones.htm
  9. This. I don't mind the courtesy votes for an obvious non-HOF'er. It's the lack of votes for a no-brainer that are stupid.
  10. And 5.2% of the voters didn't vote for Henderson.
  11. Elaborate?Seriously. You can't just yadda yadda yadda over the part of the story that shapes your perception of his character.
  12. ESPN.com reporting it now, too: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3817909 I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
  13. The easiest defensive move would be to move Braun to RF, position Manny as the deep SS, and have Cameron patrol all of LF and CF.
  14. No way the Braves trade Jair. They are struggling for pitching as it is. Obviously, replacing him with Peavy (if they could someone pull that off) would be an upgrade, but they need multiple arms.
  15. Kyle Kendrick got traded to Japan before this past season, so there is some precedent.
  16. According to baseball-reference.com, the ninth most comparable pitcher to Jorge "Orange" Julio is Derrick Turnbow. http://www.baseball-reference.com/j/juliojo01.shtml
  17. Raines is significantly hurt in the eyes of voters because he played in the shadow of Rickey Henderson. He's more than an worthy HOF'er.
  18. I thought this thread was going to be filled with joke posts. I am shocked that anyone has even put together two serious words about Plesac's HOF resume. And I echo bjkrautk's sentiments on feeling old when a Brewer fan didn't know Plesac was on the Brewers.
  19. The Yankees are just mad at the Brewers for trading them an injured Graeme Lloyd.
  20. Shockingly, Skip Bayless made a point on ESPN First Take this morning that I thought was a decent one. He felt that if there is a question, a debate about whether or not someone should be in the HOF, then they shouldn't make it. I'm not saying I completely agree with that, but I can see his point. So, based on that theory, Mussina shouldn't be in the HOF.
  21. I'm not saying I want Counsell back, but to say he didn't bring much to the table in September is silly. His OBP was .450. In the final week, which we all know was huge, his OBP was .538. He was a key part of some of our big rallies down the stretch. I'm sure there are better options out there than Counsell, but he did do some positive things for this team at the end of the year.

  23. I don't know...the 9th inning is a pretty inopportune time to wake up a sleeping giant.
  24. I think there are differing views here of what a "lowball" offer is. Some consider "lowball" an unrealistically low, just for appearances offer. Others, like me, consider a "lowball" offer a reasonable one, yet not necessarily the absolute highest a team might go. I don't think there is any way that anyone in baseball, including CC and his agent, would look at a 5/100 offer from the Brewers and think the team was crazy to offer so "low."
