  1. Well Jeffress certainly says all the right things. Hopefully he can string together several stellar outings in a row.
  2. Just watched Tsotsi the other night. It's a South African movie about a young gangster who begins to find redemtion when he unexpectedly comes into possession of an infant. I thought it was really well done with some great performances.
  3. There seem to be multiple endings to that movie. The first one did not stink the second one was pretty predictable.
  4. Actually, that was Bjames. Although Scoop did say that if he hit the cages he could probably still rip.
  5. Yeah he said Hart would never develop any power because his elbow pointed down at the ground and not back toward the backstop. Scoop also was prone to vehemently defending the band Green Day.
  6. I hate my job. I hate my clients. There really isn't much about my job I enjoy except the fact that I work from home and don't have to shave everyday. Please, feel free to share your job horror stories so I can stop feeling sorry for myself.
  7. Can anyone find the Weeks/Derosa thread he mentions? That might be good for a chuckle.
  8. Plays for the Reds and still has 10 wins. I think he's a lock.
  9. Only one more road game. I think that's his point.
  10. He's also thrown out 17 of 75 base runners (22.6%). Not good.
  11. I use a laptop, phone, printer, and Blackberry every day for work but I don't pay for any of it - my employer does. And just to be clear, I'm not in a union.
  12. Braun walked twice last night so this whole thread is moot. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  13. Listening to the White Sox/Cubs game on the Score and Steve Stone (who's a WS broadcaster for those that don't know) said Aramis Ramirez is a good off speed hitter because he has a lot of RBI - meaning he hits the ball the other way a lot. Now, I guess hitting the ball the other way shows you can hit off speed stuff, but does that really have anything to do with how many RBI you have?
  14. I think he hit 40 home runs at age 20 in low A ball.
  15. I used to hate Hawk but now that the Brewers are in the NL I sorta like him. He gone! Now Santo is the worst broadcaster in history...
  16. Corey Hart turned down a contract offer too. Does he want out of Milwaukee?
  17. I think Gene makes some solid points about the Brewers. Sorry.
  18. Yeah, maybe Prince doesn't want to be here but I really don't think it's obvious at all.
  19. Right, and I'm not disputing that fact. I wanted him called up too but I don't think anyone thought he was capable of doing what he's done so far. I'm getting the impression that people knew he would be an offensive dynamo. If I'm mistaken about that I apologize.
  20. I would rather he be healthy and implode like he usually does. That would be more satisfying.
  21. This whole Braun OBP thing has gotten out of hand. It is a flaw plain and simple. Is it a huge flaw given his propensity to hit home runs and hit for average? Probably not - certainly not as big a flaw as his defense was last year. But it is a flaw and in some people's eyes that lowers his value relative to other guys that play the same position.
  22. It's easy to say that in hindsight. I mean you look at his career numbers and they don't exactly scream 'savior'.
  23. He's like Francoeur with power and a batting average.
  24. Was Ponson ever good? I remember Gammons touting him as the next Tom Seaver about ten years ago but he never fufilled his promise. Edit: Yeah, I guess he had one 'good' year in 2003 when he split time between Baltimore and SF (and his 02 was pretty decent). Other than that his numbers are pretty mediocre.
  25. Francoeur isn't even close to Braun offensively. .252/.301/.416
