  1. By popular demand...
  2. It didn't hurt that Carpenter clearly had an off day.
  3. It isn't out of the realm of possibility that STL and CIN could go under .500 for the rest of the season, lowering the Brewers required record to overcome them.
  4. Haislip was 6'10" when he was drafted.
  5. Per McCalvy and TH's twitter pages, Mike Jones has been released.
  6. Saw that Macha got ejected, can anyone give a few details?
  7. I'm a recent Netflix convert and I have noticed pretty high quality while streaming, comparable if not better than dvd quality. Granted I have a 20Mb cable line that often gives me better performance than that. It does take a short while (less than a minute) before the streaming quality gets up to its peak, it has to buffer the data before the quality comes in.
  8. Found this nugget while doing a little searching: "Jones has now hit 31 homers since making his Pirates debut on July 1, 2009, and 21 have been of the solo variety. Only two other players -- Milwaukee's Prince Fielder (24) and Florida's Dan Uggla (22) -- have hit more solo shots since Jones' 2009 debut." http://mlb.mlb.com/news/a...id=pit&partnerId=rss_pit
  9. Yount's 3000th. I was in seat 19 http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  10. Wow, that link that trwi posted... Gomez wants to talk as fast as he runs, but if he ran like he talked he would fall flat on his face. Good thing the Brewers don't pay him to talk. Keep on running Carlos. I won't hate!
  11. Gomez takes off on a steal attempt from 1st, Counsell bunts. Gomez runs straight through second hustling to third, slides in to third as the throw sails. Soriano never has a chance to back up the play and Gomez trots home. Pretty exciting play.
  12. Appreciate you rubbing it in, but I already responded to that.
  13. Well I suppose the Brewers could have kept trotting out the Obermuellers of the world, but I'm pretty sure a free agent pitcher was high on just about everyone's wish list that winter. Melvin took a stab, and like the vast majority of the other clubs who signed pitchers that year, it didn't work out as planned.
  14. Melvin brought up an interesting point regarding the free agent class of pitchers the year that Suppan signed his deal. Taken from McCalvy's blog page: "It's a fair question. Have any of you done your homework to determine who the free agent players were that year?" he asked reporters before answering himself. "We could have signed Jason Schmidt. He signed for three years and $47 million. Barry Zito was seven years and $126 [million]. Gil Meche was five years and $55 [million]. Miguel Batista, three years and $25 [million]. Jason Marquis, three and $25 [million]. Vicente Padilla, two and $20 [million]. Ted Lilly, at four years and $40 [million], was probably the pitcher who performed the best out of that group. "
  15. A lot of people bring up Meche, but even more people were laughing at how terrible the Meche signing was at the time. Hindsight is great.
  16. Someone get Suppan a Ford Escape. Or maybe a Lincoln get the heck out of Town Car.
  17. Current weather in Miami shows 77 and thunderstorms. Let's hope Cappy doesn't need to wait too much longer. Edit - also, flood advisory until 8:15p eastern. Edit2 - Pulling the tarp off. Good stuff.
  18. Not just sit, he slept. That said, you still have to respect the career he put together.
  19. Best of luck to you in your mission to recreate the Points East wings. After living directly across the street from them for a couple years a few years back, literally a 20 second walk, I can 100% agree with you that their wings are some of the tastiest that you will ever eat.
  20. I could never confuse anyone with Jose Mesa. Seeing him give up Yount's 3000th hit in person while I was a pre-teen tends to have that effect. Loved Lima's personality and what he brought to the game. Such a shame that he was taken from us so soon. Hopefully his family is recovering well.
