Nice outing by Jungmann. -
May 1st marks the beginning of Burrito Appreciation Month. http://burritoappreciationmonth.blogspot.com

New London? It will be a cold day in he11 before I vote for New London Clintonville Trucker for life! (just kidding, my dad's from C-Ville)
-
That's a really strange line from Goforth.
-
Or why would Francisco Cordero throw him a hanging slider on a 3 - 2 count with two men on base and two outs in the bottom of the ninth???? (sorry, that game still bothers me)
-
Roger Sterling on LSD was pure gold.

Just because a guy makes a lot of money doesn't mean he's not human. This stuff happens in baseball all the time....by guys better than Ramirez. Outfielders toss balls into the stands after two outs, pop ups fall between two infielders, pitchers forget to cover first. If it becomes a habit then you start to get angry but once a season....it happens.

I would think you'd be ecstatic now that they're most likely lottery bound.
-
Uh, he was out. Tee hee!

Taint McFadden is the guy BEHIND the guy.

I'm tempering my enthusiasm about the Brevard County guys simply because of TC07's post about Beloit back in '03. I hadn't followed the minors that closely until that season and was sure we had at least three sure fire MLB starters on that team. So while I am certainly enjoying the success of Bradley, Nelson, etc. I'll wait until AA before I get too excited (like I am with Thornburg).
-
Yost did that all the time (not pinch hit a pitcher, but leave the backup catcher on the bench). Drove me nuts.

As for Uthoff, I agree that the number of restricted teams seems excessive. Big Ten and MU I can understand, but the ACC? ISU? The BIG/ACC challenge argument doesn't hold water to me. It's not like Uthoff holds all these secrets that other teams don't know already. By the same token, Uthoff should know ahead of time that by breaking his commitment he should have to face some kind of restriction. His quotes make it seem like he's surprised they're restricting him at all.

I don't know what more there is to hear, appears to be a clear cut d-bag move. Ryan basically blocked him from transferring to any conference school or any other 'big' school that UW may play. Sounds like sour grapes to me, and this is going to be held against him in recruiting- just another reason for top recruits to avoid a Ryan-coached team. I have a real problem with this sort of thing. If Ryan practiced what he preached, he would still be at UWM (or Platteville). Sam Dekker was just named #15 in the country by Scout.

I've been watching Steven Fry in America on Netflix (it's a 6 part doc about a British man experiencing the US) and he had absolutely nothing good to say about Miami. Not sure why I mention that here but felt it was slightly relevant.
-
Says Nelson's stock is rising with each start due to increased velocity. Mentioned that Thornburg is going to be included in an upcoming scouting notebook.
-
Stuff like that is why I will never pay to read him. Agreed. Has he been right about anything? Ever?

Jackie Robinson Day: Cool Tradition or Overkill?
homer replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Why is this an issue? What about the percentage of Asian players? What about the percentage of Europeans or Australians? What about Native Americans or Aboriginals? The best(ish) players make the majors. The fact that whatever percentage of them are whatever race/ethnicity is random and is more a reflection of demographics than anything. Because there is a rich history of black participation in the sport (as opposed to aborigine). Kind of sad to see it fade away especially because so many black kids are drawn to a sport with very rigid physical standards (i.e. you pretty much have to be tall). You can more of less have any body type and play baseball (except maybe the body type of Gilbert Brown). -
Thornburg just had a four pitch inning. EDIT: And he just struck out the side. Wow.
-
I've officially gone from excited to giddy about Thornburg.

Jackie Robinson Day: Cool Tradition or Overkill?
homer replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Kind of ironic that they go to great lengths to celebrate integration of baseball yet the number of African Americans in the majors is the lowest it's been since the early days of integration: "The African-American population in baseball this season has plummeted to 8.05%, less than half the 17.25% in 1959 when the Boston Red Sox became the last team to integrate their roster, 12 years after Robinson broke baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It's a dramatic decline from 1975, when 27% of rosters were African-American. In 1995, the percentage was 19%." http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/story/2012-04-15/baseball-jackie-robinson/54302108/1?csp=34sports&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+UsatodaycomSports-TopStories+%28Sports+-+Top+Stories%29 -
As someone who transferred after my freshman year in college, I can't really rag on the guy. He's a 19 year old kid who probably didn't listen to his gut in the first place. Hope he finds what he's after.

He got Carl Spackler after 18 questions.

LambeauLeap Forum Access Problem
homer replied to CheezWizHed's topic in Brewer Fanatic Issues & Suggestions
I tried to click on the NFL Forums link today and it redirected me to: http://jjb.yuku.com/ Now I love a good NSync discussion as much as the next guy, but I wanted Lambeauleap. Is there a new forum link I'm not aware of? Is LL off of yuku as well? http://lambeauleap.yuku.com/directory EDIT: Nevermind. I needed to start at the home page and get to the forum from there. Leaving my post up in case anyone was searching for some serious NSync discussion -
Weird about Uthoff. Wonder what's going on there? Seems like it caught everyone off guard. Maybe he sees limited playing time the next year or two and wants major minutes or something.
