We saw that they stuck to their number, regardless of how small the difference between theirs and Burnes's. And we saw that they were willing to take whatever hard feelings came as a result. There was no deference made to accommodating a homegrown star. I suspect the same will be true for Adames, Woodruff, and everyone else. Their model is to have one face of the franchise guy and fill in the rest. I think the market for Woody and Adames will exceed the Brewers' willingness to spend. Though maybe not. We're all just speculating.. -
We just saw how they treated Burnes in arbitration. I'm doubtful they will handle Adames or Woodruff any diffently. They don't know if Bally Sports is going to make payments on local broadcast rights. Tickets are not being sold in the pre-pandemic volume. They chose not to do a Fanfest winter event. Attanasio just bought into a soccer team. They're already on the hook for sunk costs in the Yelich deal. Don't get your hopes up (or your ire up) on extending those guys. Signs are pointing the other way.

Lately I've been seeing online pics of restaurant gourmet burgers overloaded with ridiculous amounts of toppings. They're not unlike the behemoth bloody marys made with a platter of add-ons in and around the drink. The burgers are totally unmanageable, such that one would need to use a knife and fork to eat them. If you're ordering these stupid burger monstrosities, please stop. It's simply way too much food and if people stop ordering them, maybe restaurants will stop offering them.

Article: The Five Best Left Fielders in Brewers History
JimH5 replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think I'm putting Briggs ahead of Vaughn for the #4 spot. He produced a 131 OPS+ for the Brewers while Vaughn's was 111. Vaughn took a long time to finally produce, and didn't really get going until after he was traded away. I don't have any memories of Briggs' defense--both have stat lines that are pretty dismal--though I do recall Vaughn struggling to even throw the ball overhand (??). Did he have a chronic shoulder problem during his time with the Brewers? Left field really demands a player with a productive bat, and Briggs was a consistent producer while Vaughn had several seasons of lesser play. -
Article: The Five Best Third Basemen In Brewers History
JimH5 replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think Clancy has this one totally right. Molitor Cirillo Money A Ramirez Harper I generally like to stand up for the 1970s Brewers, and Tommy Harper was a unique hitter, responsible for one of the top 5 offensive seasons in team history. But he wasn't here long enough to merit a higher spot, and his defense was certainly the worst of this group of players. And I can go back and forth on whether Cirillo or Don Money gets the 2/3 spots. Cirillo's 4 year stretch from 1996-99 was better than Money's peak, so I lean towards Jeff Cirillo at #2. -
Article: The Five Best First Basemen In Brewers History
JimH5 replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I would put Cooper comfortably at the top of the list. Then I put George Scott 2nd. Twice lead the league in TB, 5 Gold Gloves and his 1973 season was among the best years for a position player in franchise history. Prince is a close 3rd. Then Sexson... And Jaha in the 5th spot. -
Article: The Five Best Catchers In Brewers History
JimH5 replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Ellie Rodriguez was an All Star & put up 8 WAR in his 3 seasons as a catcher on the 1971-73 teams. He was a high OBP guy with a rocket arm who threw out 50 percent of base stealers. I would choose my top 5 as: Lucroy Porter Surhoff Nilsson Rodriguez -
The brutality is the run itself. For hundreds of years, every bull has been tortured and killed in this ridiculous tradition. There are humane ways of killing livestock, but people like to do it this way. So if some dope gets gored, I shed no tears.

RIP to TV pitchman Ron Popeil. Salesman, showman, inventor, and infomercial pioneer. From the Pocket Fisherman to the Rotisserie oven, it slices, it dices...he bought so much advertising time that he was virtually unavoidable for tv viewers. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/28/us/ron-popeil-tv-infomercial-dead/index.html

I brought a pizza home tonight from Glass Nickel Pizza on Bluemound & Elm Grove Rd. Contact free drop off into my car. It's good, if pricey. They're pretty generous with toppings. It's a step up from Domino's and Pizza Hut, etc. Big, foldable slices.

And now she has passed away. Rest in Peace.

Tanya Roberts is dead. NOPE! She's alive!
-
She really seemed to embrace being associated with the show and being Mary Ann. I was besmitten with her, as were a substantial number of others who were also on Team Mary Ann. She really seemed like a lovely person.

Best post of the offseason! Congratulations on your progress!

Fans of The Dick Van Dyke Show and actress/comedian Rose Marie might be interested in this auction of some items from her estate: Julienslive.com

I looked at her Twitter feed after learning of her death and the last tweet before the announcement of her death was only a few hours older than the announcement tweet. It's also how I learned about the documentary: http://www.rosemariemovie.com/. Now I'm interested in seeing it. I wasn't aware that she was a child star, with a career long before Dick Van Dyke. While there weren't many credits in recent years, she still did some work, and that's a 90 year run. Good luck topping that..

Sad to learn about Rose Marie. I was following her on Twitter and she (or whoever may have been managing her account) seemed in good spirits up until the end. There is a very recent documentary about her, and she was able to enjoy some very late in life attention. RIP, Rose Marie-- and thanks for all the entertainment!

Mary Tyler Moore is a significant loss to people in their late 40s and older. She had two iconic roles in the time when network tv was part of all of our lives. She was beautiful and funny and a true tv star. RIP

I suspect that people of a later generation don't really get the cultural significance of The Brady Bunch, much in the way I don't get Saved By the Bell, etc. But the Bradys were the best, and Carol was the best. I think we all wanted our mom's to be more Carol-like. And after the show was over, Florence didn't do anything in her career or her life to diminish or stain the character of Carol. She remained the wholesome beacon of motherhood. Lots of celebrity deaths in 2016, but this one is the most significant to me.

My daughter was watching "Best Friends Whenever" on Disney Channel tonight and the special guest star was 87-year old Marion Ross of Happy Days fame. Not sure when this episode was produced, but she looked spry and delivered her lines pretty well.

I would dress appropriate for what the job would be, or maybe slightly better. Try to match how you think the best employees in that job would look.

Don Harron died today at age 90. If his name isn't familiar, he was on Hee Haw as the KORN news reader, and basically rode that character, Charlie Farquharson, for his whole life. Not unlike the guy who played Foster Brooks or the guy who played Charlie Weaver. I won't pretend that Hee Haw was great art, but it did deliver some country music greats...Hank Snow, Roy Acuff, Faron Young, Johnny Cash, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Stringbean, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, June Carter, Grandpa Jones, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, etc. And if you catch it some nights on RFD TV, you might find episodes with Johnny Bench, Dizzy Dean or Mickey Mantle.. RIP, Don. You delivered pure, rural Canadian schtick.

I'm stunned that Donna Douglas was born in 1933. She was at least 10 years older than her Ellie May Clampett character. I miss that kind of sitcom.

My favorite part of Welcome Back Kotter was during the short segments, either leading in to the show or at the end, when Gabe was telling a story/joke to Mrs. K. It was just the two of them in the apartment together. Obviously it was written and rehearsed and they were actors, but when Kaplan delivered the punchline, and she would laugh, it seemed very sweet and charming. As a teenager, that's how I imagined a great marriage would be.
