    How about someone try to contact Pedro Lopez and tell Mr. Lopez to please contact Matt Wise and tell him he is all right. He does the Brewers no good whatsoever right now. Maybe that's all he needs...actually, if Doug Melvin or someone in the organization hasn't already thought of this, I'm disappointed....hey, how about someone email Doug Melvin and give him the idea in case he hasn't!

    Come on...The Mutants of 2051 AD!

    I'd see more of a parallel with Yost and Holmgren than Yost and Sherman. Someone is really going to have to explain how in the world Ned Yost compares to Mike Holmgren. Seriously, I hope there's another confrontation with Yost and players soon. I eagerly await Ned Yost's termination. And the fact that the players were sticking up for their teammate against Yost speaks volumes, and if the comment that Bill Michaels reported is true, Yost has lost this team. All I have to say about that is...good.

    They're not going to send a pitcher down...I think Weeks.

    So five or six guys shut down the site? I really don't care, but this is getting kind of funny watching all the locked threads.

    If Linebrink is with the club, this is his inning. I know his wife just had a baby, but I almost don't like the trade because of him not being here for some important games. Especially when it seems as though the Brewers were very close to getting Gagne.

    Well, I'm assuming Neteller didn't do anything illegal, so it must be good old capitalism right Al? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    I agree Russ, but let's stop talking about Weeks' wrist as why he's been putrid. Either he's too hurt to play or he has been a bust so far...there's no other way around it. I don't want them to cut the guy loose or anything, but if he's too hurt, he shouldn't be playing. It's that simple.
  10. Roscoe Chill
    And their excuses aren't as good If Rickie Weeks is hurt he shouldn't be playing on a team fighting for their first playoff berth in 25 years. I'm sick of seeing ANY excuses for Weeks' play. If you want to argue that his wrist is making him awful, then you should call out Yost and/or Melvin for having him in there. I'm not sold on the wrist "excuse."
  11. Roscoe Chill
    Personally, I'll vent because Rickie Weeks has been pretty horrible this year. For a guy that was supposed to be the second coming, he hasn't done squat. Amen. But according to some his age and the position he plays means he's right on pace to get to the Hall of Fame! Seriously though, I'm a little irked that they didn't go get an outfielder...Eric Byrnes would have been a top of the order guy to at least protect the Brewers in case of injury, and more likely send Jenkins and Mench to the bench where they would be decent options albeit expensive ones. J.J. Hardy needs to be moved down to the 7 or 8 slot in the lineup (please don't move this post to the designated lineup thread http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Jermaine Dye would have been nice too.

    Exercise the no trade clause Eric...(weird).
  13. Roscoe Chill
    I'm going to predict that it ends up being Tony Gwynn and Derrick Turnbow for Gagne and something else....which would be just fine with me.
  14. Roscoe Chill
    Garnett wouldn't accept the trade before the draft, so that's why it didn't happen then. Now, he probably looks at the fact they got Ray Allen and it's a more attractive place to go try and win. Theo Ratliff's expiring contract is probably just as attractive as any player the Wolves got other than Jefferson...not just a salary balancer. And isn't Rajon Rondo a great defensive player at point? Seems to me he fits in well on a team with three of last year's top 20 scorers.

    I'd just like to say that I can't stand the argument along the lines of: "How good did you expect the Brewers to be, etc;" or "I didn't expect the Brewers to have the 24-10 start, etc." First off, the Brewers DID start 24-10. They also had a huge lead...and now it's gone. Rationalize all you want, they've blown it. And also, I for one did have high expectations for this team, as did most of you reading this. Maybe you didn't expect them to win the division, but you also didn't expect Ryan Braun to play at an MVP level...go check the Braun prediction thread if you can find it...he's already outproduced most of the predictions. So, to start off so hot and jump out to such a big lead...and have TWO MVP level players in your lineup, and be in the situation the team is in now, trying to hold of the CUBS! The team a lot of people laughed at for their spending spree and managerial hiring, is a huge bummer, I don't know how you can spin it any other way. That is my vent.

    I saw Vince Gill at the Crossroads Guitar Festival yesterday, and I didn't hate it. How's that shout out for country?
  17. Roscoe Chill
    Of course, some of us are questioning when Prince should get a rest not if...talk about condescending.
  18. Roscoe Chill
    By everyone's argument about resting players, wouldn't Sunday followed by another day off on Monday be more beneficial as far as "rest" goes?
  19. Roscoe Chill
    Well, for whoever asked when a good time to sit Fielder would be, how about NOT after sitting three players the day before. How about NOT when you're in danger of losing a series to the Reds. As far as a direct answer, how about on a Sunday? Guess what, other teams seem to rest players on Sunday too...having Fielder out of the game when say, Scott Rolen is taking a rest too might even things out a bit?
  20. Roscoe Chill
    It's not that players don't need days off throughout the season, I agree they do...it's bunching all these days off together that irks me. It's like it's day off week in the middle of a road trip where the team is in danger of losing a series to the freaking Reds. I don't get that. Furthermore, and this is just a thought of mine, no fact or anything like that, but I could see Ned Yost defending this sitting players in the same time period by saying something along the lines of: "You don't want to sit your guys when you're winning or playing well."

    I'll save some money by not having to get playoff tickets?

    Just an interesting tidbit as I watch NFL Network probably too much...there is a commercial that congratulates the Co-Men of the Year in the NFL, Ladainian Tomlinson and Drew Brees...the two players that the Falcons traded to the Chargers for Michael Vick when looking at the draft picks involved. DOH! Honestly, it'd be a lot bigger of a deal to me if Vick was actually good, and not just a product of marketing. Sure he's a freak athletically, but he's not a good QB. Just cut the clown already. If the Cowboys can cut Quincy Carter for doing some blow, the Falcons can cut Vick for killing dogs for money.

    I too have a 5 month old puppy (labradoodle) and the best advice about chewing when you're sleeping is to crate him...maybe get him a bigger one? I give this advice, yet I haven't followed it lately, since it seems that Roscoe perks up for a play session every night when we go to bed, and the new crate we bought is too big to fit in our bedroom, and he won't sleep in another room. I've received the same advice from many people...ignore his barking/whining and sooner or later he'll accept it...easier said than done after it goes on for over an hour. My solution now is we have a baby gate up in the hallway, so he can go in our room, his cage in the spare bedroom, or the bathroom (he likes cool floors) at night...so he's actually been good at night for a week or so. He has chewed some speaker wire, but that's it as far as things inside the house (outside is a whole other story). He's a pretty mellow puppy. Our vet marvels at how good he is, and how lucky we are. But we do crate him whenever we leave the house, and like I said we limit his area at night. EDIT: Danzig, while he's good, he doesn't listen at all either, and sometimes the only way to get him to come inside is ask if he wants a treat...amazing how little time it took for him to understand that word.
  24. Roscoe Chill
    That isnt true. They may be waiting for after the game to announce it, they may have some last minute details on the deal to work out. I'm sorry, but if they are anywhere even close to a trade involving Tony Gwynn he wouldn't be playing today. That doesn't mean a deal involving Gwynn won't happen tomorrow or next week, but if this is a "done deal" Gwynn wouldn't be playing. Who knows, Gwynn might not be involved? But how would you feel if you were Doug Melvin and had possibly a trade like this done, and Gwynn hurts himself today?
  25. Roscoe Chill
    The fact that Gwynn is in the lineup for the Brewers should be telling.
