  1. Well, in other happenings Fukodome continues his path from phenom to obscurity.
  2. Don Draper - Mad Men (one of the if not the best shows on TV currently) I will second the Johnny Drama nod as well.
  3. They both use different compression technology so the will only have some content available on both platforms beginning in September. I have Sirius and Howard Stern interviewed Mel Karmazan, CEO of Sirius/XM mentioned that the two platforms will be available for the next 8-10 years to allievieate any confusion from those that have an XM or Sirius stereo in their cars or homes. So it's as if they are really still 2 seperate companies from a content standpoint. Sirius has everything except baseball (which I would love, but MLB gameday audio has me covered for a fraction of the cost online). If you want the best overall content I don't think XM comes close to Sirius, but I am biased and haven't listened to XM for more than a few weeks over several years. If it's specifically baseball coverage you're after, the $12.95/month subscription for XM is probably worth it, but it sounds as if it's similar to Sirius where you get one channel for MLB coverage, but not the actual games themselves online (Sirius offers NFL and NBA). Again you could supplement that with the MLB gameday audio online for about $13/year.
  4. If 2nd place at the end of July is the SAME OLD BREWERS then I'm not sure if I've been watching the same team as you for the last 20 or so years. Tough homestand based on expectations, but take those out of the equations and they have had much worse. Depends how you want to look at it.
  5. I'll be there tonight and tomorrow with my ball and glove logo hat. Up high in the deck tonight, but tomorrow 7 rows behind home plate. CC and Sheets, great way to start after the break. GO CREW! brewtank, your Webb's is making me jealous (and hungry...).
  6. See, I didn't check my sources either... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I agree nobody has the patience to wait for the truthful, factual story anymore. It's unfortunate.
  7. While I completely agree with you, to play devil's advocate, you could look at the presidential election and ask why did CNN report Al Gore as the next president instead of waiting for more results? There is quite a bit of pressure now to be the first to report news. Also, perhaps Tom couldn't get a response from his source and felt he should go with it. Plus, he's posting this in a blog (a jsonline blog but a blog nonetheless), he didn't print it as a story in the Journal-Sentinel. Sort of less official.
  8. Could be chronic fatigue syndrome.
  9. And Leiber has been lifted after 2 innings. Go Reds, work that Cub bullpen.
  10. Followed by Hairston. Nice! Seriously, who do the Cubs have after Zambrano in that rotation?
  11. The problem is most teams had good stats that balanced out the bad. The Brewers in the late 80s through the early 00s were mostly all bad. Page 2 just seemed to pick the worst of the worst.
  12. Why is it anyones fault that he tore his ACL? It was an accident plain and simple. The real discussion should be how the rotation will realistically hold up without him there. The season isn't lost, but to call them contenders right now would be a huge stretch. The rotation as it stands right now is average at best. Then again, how is it any worse than the Cubs? They have Zambrano and? I'm not giving up.
  13. I went to college with Trenni and she was a few years older than me so 31-32ish.
  14. I third that. They've just started re-airing "A Cook's Tour" on Food Network and I'm going to start DVRing them. "Kitchen Nightmares" on BBC is so much better than the version on Fox. I just wish they'd come out with more and stop with the "revisiting." Fox wants to make Ramsey out like a prick, but the BBC paints him as certainly as high intensity but never solely that. He's much more laid back on BBC shows ("Boiling Point" is a fun, tho sorta frivolous show). A Cook's Tour is back on? Nice! I love how he cynically alludes to it occassionally on No Reservations. I was amazed the first time I saw Kitchen Nightmares on BBC. I couldn't believe how cheesy Fox made the American version. Sort of a sad testament to the intelligence of the average U.S. television viewer. Don't get me wrong, I love mindless entertainment as much as the next person, but I at least try to pepper in something redeeming now and then.
  15. Bizarre Foods reminds that I forgot Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. I love that show.
  16. What station? My friend runs a few different stations up north. I wonder if it was his.
  17. In no particular order: The Office It's Always Sunny in PH (when it returns) SNL 30 Rock Top Chef Austin City Limits Flight of the Conchords Entourage (when it returns) Curb your Enthusiasm (when it returns) Kitchen Nightmares (the BBC version) The Riches Yo Gabba Gabba Mad Money Baseball Tonight Mad Men (when it returns)
  18. Greg Poppovich? I'm sure he could though at some point as well. The key is finding one that doesn't wear too quickly. George Karl's over under is about 3 years I think. At least the hiring of Hammond makes the Bucks relatively relevant and exciting again. I was beginning to forget about them.
  19. I ordered a new hard drive for my series 2 Tivo about 2 weeks back from them and installed it in 10 minutes. I highly recommend weaknees if you want to keep your Tivo box living.
  20. Let's go boys! Strikeouts should be cut in half without Billy in the lineup. I have a good feeling about Parra's start today.
  21. Turnbow is the worst pitcher on that staff (okay or McClung it's a toss up). What would you say if someone offered you the worst pitcher on their staff? Turnbow has absolutely no trade value. If Doug couldn't get anything for Vargas why would one think he could get anything for Turnbow?
  22. I'm pretty sure it would. I set up my Tivo to recognize those channels during the free preview and would just need to know what channel to record the day of a game. Extra innings has a listing of what channel the games are on so you could set up a week or two of games in advance. I've analyzed it this much, I should probably just take the plunge.
  23. Series, seeing as you live in SF, do you find it hard to catch most games during the week? I am thinking about getting the package but by the time I get home it's around the 7/8th inning (for most games). I currently use the same combo you used last year but am getting antsy. Might be worth it though just to see the weekend series games. I suppose I could Tivo the game, but I do love live sports.
