    Hmmm, I think Ford has a ceiling far above that of Carl Crawford.

    I have no sympathy for Allan Stokke after reading about some of his defense strategies (he's a well-known lawyer).

    I'm sure Menotti doesn't know Spanish. that's rediculous1!

    1. I'd argue that Gamel should be ahead of Gillespie, which isn't a slight against Gillespie but more of an affirmation of Gamel's prospect status. Gamel's outperforming Gillespie and is a full two years(!) younger. The dude is putting up an .846 OPS at BC. Strikeouts aren't a problem, and he walks, indicating good plate discipline. Keep in mind that Braun put up an OPS of .784 at BC. Now, I'm not saying Gamel is going to hit like Braun, it's just an interesting comparison. 2. Now, ranking Joe Thatcher as the #11 prospect. I like the guy, but he's 25 and at best projects as a quality LOOGY. No way should he be #11. 3. Dillard, Hurricane, and Hinton are all way too high. I guess I'm not sure why Hinton was (and still is) so highly ranked. Yes, he's put up good numbers, and I think colby has attested to his good stuff, but still, he's a reliever that is just now in AA. Never mind the fact that he's getting shelled. 4. Lucroy should be way higher based on the front office's raves and the third round pick used to select him. 5. Seidel should be higher based on the reports of his stuff. 6. Finally, the big question. How is Crabbe rated so low in comparison to Hurricane? He doesn't have a cool nickname? Crabbe is outperforming Hurricane in every facet of the game and is only 1 1/2 year older. And he's playing at a level higher than Hurricane.1 I love the P50, and appreciate all the hard work you guys put into it,.

    Well this is about the fifth game of the year where Yost's inability to manage his pitchers has contributed to the loss.

    Too bad there's no correlation between SB totals and K totals then.

    No, I totally agree with you Robert, I just haven't said anything. The first Die Hard is absolutely unrealistic (as are most movies - it's the nature of the format), but within its own universe its comes across as something that could happen. I don't go to movies to see amazing stunts and explosions. Now, if they're in the movie, fine, but they better make sense in the context of the narrative. I'm sorry, but I'm struggling to think about how an ex-cop flying a helicopter would fit into the universe that made the first Die Hard successful.

    Time of assembly for a Pizzaz? 1 second.

    I haven't seen it, and I won't, at least not in theaters. I don't plan on giving Fox any of my money after they made the movie PG-13. The first Die Hard is a great movie. Just by looking at the trailers for the new one, I'm skeptical to say the least.

    I haven't listened to much new music, but I would say Live at Massey Hall has to be number one. It's one of the best releases of his career. I was extremely disappointed in Sky Blue Sky. I would say it's mediocre at best, and I'm a big Wilco fan.

    How do you not understand? I hate to break it to you, but ESPN is owned by Disney, and Disney is a corporation. Corporations have the sole interest of making money. A company's survival is based upon how well it trades on the stock market, and how well it trades on the stock market is based on EARNINGS and PUBLIC PERCEPTION. Now, first of all, ESPN wouldn't be airing this segment if it wasn't commercially viable. Little kids + tragedy = big ratings. Big ratings = big ad revenues = EARNINGS. Secondly, the segment helps to create the image of ESPN as a benevolent institution. By filming the segment, ESPN improves the PUBLIC PERCEPTION of their company, which will in turn, either increase their stock price, or attract more viewers. Now, the athlete, by appearing on this segment, automatically helps his chances at receiving top-money endorsements, and possibly increasing memorabilia sales, etc... This is how capitalism works. And that's not to say that the whole effort doesn't have any positive side-effects. I'm sure it does help promote the foundation, and of course it is a great thing for these kids. I am in NO WAY belittling the actual act of what is going on here. However, if it wasn't a commercially viable segment, it wouldn't be put on the air.

    Awesome. Loved the enthusiasm by the announcer.

    It's only been 40 at bats, and he has 8 walks in those 40 at bats. Besides, talk about a small sample size. Leave him where he is - I trust the Brewer's scouting individuals along with his extraordinary plate discipline to dictate that he's just fine at AA for now.

    For good luck. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb133/tyguy20204/brawn.jpg

    By the way, I believe Mass posted something recently about them taking Jeffress off of the 80 pitch limit because he's been pitching so well.

    I love how EVERYONE is in consensus that his delivery is perfectly clean and repeatable. If he gets injured, its no one's fault except for Lady Fortuna.

    I'm a little surprised Sixth Sense made the list. It doesn't really have much going for it besides the twist. I could never see myself watching it more than once.

    Is there any chance that Heat makes it on there? I find the movie to be absolutely perfect. I can't think of any flaws. Also, I'm not sure why Indiana Jones is on the list. I guess it's well made but top 100 of all time? I disagree. edit- just noticed Heat was released in '95, but I think it's gained standing since then in the eyes of audiences/critics.

    Nah, if you search the message board you'll see this is the first time I've ever criticized Yost. I definitely respect your opinion, but I feel like a 21 year-old pitcher making his first start should be pulled with 94 pitches after six innings of solid work. He's amped up, he's no doubt overthrowing a little bit, and he's had a solid start. What is the marginal benefit of having him go out there for another inning? I would hope that in the future Yost plays it safe with our phenom pitcher at the risk of taxing the back-end of our bullpen. Yost has made systematic errors throughout the year with regard to the bullpen, but this has nothing to do with that. This has to do with the development and protection of a young pitcher.
  21. tyguy20204
    I disagree. 93 pitches in his first MLB start. 5-1 Lead. A fresh bullpen. The facts speak for themselves.
  22. tyguy20204
    Yost you are the terrible at managing pitchers.
  23. tyguy20204
    I'm not buying this "it was a good loss," deal. Chalk it up to another loss that was at least partially to blame for Yost's inability to manage the pitching staff. Once or twice, I understand, but at this point it's a complete failing on his part. Frustrating.
  24. tyguy20204
    The Graduate struck me right off the bat. I took it as ambiguous, anyway.

    I'll list a few. The Sound and the Fury - William Faulkner Probably tied for my favorite book of all time. The only bad thing about this book is that you will never read something so good again. War and Peace - Tolstoy Probably tied for my favorite book of all time. Way better than Anna Karenina. Long, but reads fast. Pedro Paramo - Juan Rulfo I've never read Marquez but I know Marquez was a big fan of this book. Everything I've read by Rulfo (this and the Burning Plains short stories) has been incredible Dune An incredible book for any sci-fi fan The Foundation Series An incredible series for any sci-fi fan The Borders Trilogy - Cormac McCarthy An amazing set of books. All the Pretty Horses is probably the standout, although the first section of The Crossing may be my favorite of McCarthy's writing. Tender is the Night - Fitzgerald For whatever reason I like this better than Gatsby Lord Jim - Conrad Can't go wrong with my man Conrad Of course, these are just novelists. As far as I'm concerned, Chekhov is the best writer of all time. Other short story authors I love - Alice Munro, Ray Carver, Joyce (Dubliners).
