  1. This topic popped up a few minutes ago. Let's use it to discuss the Renteria deal. Renteria to the Reds
  2. What report? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Did that happen this year?
  3. Until Betancourt sucks as a Brewer, Melvin can't really do anything other than support him publicly. He can't say, "We know he sucks and we have to replace him," at this point. He also can't say that the team is still in the market for a shortstop. None of that would prevent him from acquiring a shortstop, though. What he says or doesn't say is where he's restricted.
  4. I've moved this over to the Major League forum: http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?t=24007 I've also added it to the Designated Threads List. I suspect that this topic will get a lot of use over the next few weeks. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  5. From the previous Betancourt topic:
  6. For reference, here's a recent barefoot running topic: http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?t=22035
  7. You're right. That's what I meant to say. I'll do an edit.
  8. The number three hitter comes to bat with the bases empty and nobody two out more often than anyone else in the lineup. Even though the number five hitter will see fewer plate appearances than the number three hitter, the higher leverage of those plate appearances will offset the difference. (edited based on logan3825's correction immediately below)
  9. I voted. Is there a link where we can read the story? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  10. Has anyone ever poked around on findagrave.com? I've found some great information over there. My main complaint is that some contributors are a bit too ambitious. One person, for instance, has put up 106,555 pages and doesn't appear to maintain them. It's a pain because you're not supposed to put up duplicate pages for the same person. You're supposed to submit suggestions, pictures, etc. to the person who added the page. It appears that findagrave.com has recognized this and is readily transferring management of his pages to other people. In other cases, people have put up duplicates (and done a much better job). My secondary complaint is privacy. There are a lot of obituaries posted that contain the names of living people. My name is in two of them. I've opted not to ruffle feathers by asking the owner of the pages to remove the obits because so much of what he's contributed has been invaluable to filling in blanks in previous generations. Caveats aside, I highly recommend this site. I also recommend adding your close relatives to the site simply so you can gain editorial control over their pages. If you don't enter them, someone else will. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  11. There's quite a bit of current discussion beginning with this post:
  12. Moved to Transactions: http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?t=23950
  13. I've tagged this topic and a couple of others. I didn't search extensively, though. If anyone wants to post some appropriate URLs, a mod can add tags to those topics.
  14. There's a two minute grace period that allows you to edit without an "edited by" notation appearing.
  15. The Brewers should have made a great gross (a dozen gross) of shirts available. That way, they could have announced that they had 1,728 for sale.
  16. The 1930 census reports that my grandparents rented their house for $9 per month and owned a radio. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  17. I prefer to talk about what is likely. Yeah, what I'd like to see just isn't being done by managers. I want to see the best hitters batting 2 & 4 (or vice versa), the leadoff hitter having some pop in addition to OBP ability, and the #5 hitter being better than the #3 hitter. This would be subject to avoiding consecutive lefties, which isn't hard to do on this team. Anyway, here's one that's somewhat idealistic: Weeks Braun McGehee Fielder Hart Lucroy Betancourt Pitcher Gomez And here's one that has a better chance of happening: Weeks Hart Braun Fielder McGehee Lucroy Betancourt Gomez Pitcher
  18. Tom H. should have said, "According to Brewerfan.net members…."
  19. I popped in earlier just as you popped out. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Using the chat room is a good idea, though. It's there 24/7. If you're the first one going into the room, reload the main page and make sure it still doesn't still say "0 users chatting." If the number of chatters doesn't bump up to 1, exit the room and try again.
  20. Carlos has two options left, however, I believe that he'd have to go through revocable waivers to be optioned. I wonder if this is a split contract.
  21. So it looks as if there's no designated thread to the 2011 line-up discussion and it was recommended that one be started. I'll designate this one now. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  22. This is definitely very sad news. Best wishes to Chad and his family.
  23. I was going to say that most iPhone apps were rather small in size, but boy, was I wrong. If you're inclined to download these large games, make sure you have enough bandwidth to handle it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Can a game be deleted and re-added without having to purchase it again?
  24. Also, casey, given the winds expected Sunday, I hope you have a backup plan in case you have to stay in Milwaukee. The backup plan would be to reschedule an early Monday morning appointment for Tuesday. The hassle with that isn't so much on my end. It's the fact that Monday through Friday businesses are hard to contact on the weekend and calling on Monday morning doesn't give much notice. It's sounding very likely that I'll need to delay driving until Monday, though.
