    I had missed that he had even got waived. I find it shocking that he wasn't given playing time in place of the incomparably bad Nick Punto. He's not pirannah enough, apparently.
  2. brettac1
    Really, it's not a limit per start, it's for the season. I'd assume his pitch count is 100 or a little more. With Yo, though, if he has his great stuff working, you're only going to see him go 6 because he's going to have 100 pitches an a bunch of K's.

    I'm also a Woody fan, is that yours? No, it's actually Woody's guitar with an extreme close-up. And everybody should be a fan of his, for sure.

    No doubt he will, but I think the Brewers will get after him pretty well, too. And, off-topic, switching from Zappa to Waits? Or is that a different poster who has Zappa as his avatar and Uecker in his username?

    Pretty much everyone was using amphetamines for a long long time (50+ years?). Mays was basically hooked on them, Aaron took them. Then like splitter said, players started using blow in the '80's - like a certain hall of famer we all know and love. Players still take Greenies today, for sure - they're just not as stupid as Neifi Perez. But I imagine a lot of guys quit, look at how many energy drinks you see in the dugout now. I watched Carlos Lee hammer two Red Bulls between innings.

    Not really. He has been a cancer on teams in the past, it has been documented before. I don't think that kind of stuff matters much in the big picture of wins and losses, but when a guy is a jerk, I suppose it can cause a manager who is a little frustrated to scream at him and make a scene once in a while.

    I figured the Cubs would pass the Brewers in early August and the Brewers would end up passing them back for good at a later date. I still think that will happen, I think the Brewers have a slightly better team.

    I only think it's a good thing if Ned laid into Estrada. I don't think things like this have any sort of real impact on what happens in the future. First and foremost, these things are usually funny.

    Yep, exactly. Transcoding lowers the quality of a song. The best thing is to buy CD's and use LAME Encoder and Exact Audio Copy and rip the mp3's in V0 format, which is as close to lossless quality as you can get in mp3. It's seems very complicated, but it's really not and it is a noticeable difference. I have an iPod, but I too hate iTunes. It's the worst, but I use it to load my iPod. Playback is always choppy in it, and it's such a memory hog that I can't stand using it more than the once a week or so when I will add/remove songs from my iPod. Not to mention the lameness of the Music Store, where you get the stupid m4p files that you can't use with anything but iTunes without the aforementioned converting. I pay for the stupid song I should be able to do whatever I want with it. That's why a tasteful mix of buying CD's and illegal downloading is the way to go.

    I guess I don't take that comment to mean that the players don't like Yost - I think they are saying it's their respoinsibility to win the games.
  11. brettac1
    I sort of agree with EDR on Atlantic. But Motown was just amazing. Smokey Robinson was such a genius - I think he said he wrote "My Girl" in 15 minutes or something on that History of Rock 'N Roll show that I watched when I was bored a couple months ago. Though it's not the pure "soul" music of Stax. And it's nice to see another Last.fm user (even though your link for that just takes you to the same PBS page as the first link).

    Once it gets on YouTube, someone should post it in the thread, since I'm pretty sure we can post vids now.
  13. brettac1
    Yo will be out of the rotation once Sheets comes back. Bank on that. No way they will risk his arm, it's just not worth it.
  14. brettac1
    +10 for Ned as far as I'm concerned! Estrada'a been a problem with teams in the past - and not just because of his play.
  15. brettac1
    He's been pwning.
  16. brettac1
    Eddie Sedar, baby. But I think Yost will be back, I'm about 99.9% sure of that.
  17. brettac1
    At least real Vargas showed up on a night when the offense is rolling. This is not a playoff team. Simple as that. Why do you say that?
  18. brettac1
    Put the dawn of the Joe Dillon Era on hold.
  19. brettac1
    It was getting close to "Free Joe Dillon" time in the sigs, and Melvin could feel the hounds on his trail. Journeymen need lovin', too.

    My favorite is just the title: How Bill James and Math Nearly Destroyed Baseball Damned math.
  21. brettac1
    Well, I wouldn't say they've been missing him. http://images.wikia.com/openserving/entertainment/images/thumb/3/3d/PeterGibbons.jpg/190px-PeterGibbons.jpg Especially since they have that Mauer guy.
  22. brettac1
    I'm in full support of these moves all the way around. Weeks needed to go to Nashville for the betterment of the team, even above his development. Hopefully he can rake there and come back, otherwise I wouldn't be shocked if they just shut him down altogether shortly. Chalk it up as a lost year.
  23. brettac1
    I'd rather listen to BA than Schulman. And The Rock is better than Phillips. I'm hanging with the homeboys tonight.
  24. brettac1
    All I know is that is what the most fun I had watching the team in a while. It was an awesome game, Jenkins starting two would-be game ending rallies, and then just becoming at one with the game-ending rally. Seems like Ned pushed the right buttons all night in regards to the pitchers, it was just a good game. As far as turning points go, I'm not a huge believer in the idea of momentum in baseball, but I do believe that the Brewers are due to go on a hot streak - whether an unexciting blowout win or a dramatic nailbiter like last night is the start is just a coincidence, I think.
  25. brettac1
    Awesome. I can have 100 replies per page, now. Not as cool as the 999 or whatever I had with ezBoard, but an improvement over the 25 once it became an ezSupporter only feature.
