Wow, didn't see that coming.... not sure what to think. He creeps me out all the time but we have been good under him. Not sure what type of coach we'll attract.
-
Man I'd go in there and sit down and say I'm not leaving until you pay me! Not sure how effective that would be but that a long with the complaint "threat" might get it done. Not sure if that's realistic. Sorry you have to deal with that.

Try the Sling...... ok bad joke. Best of luck on the trip, I bet it will be pretty sweet!

Brewers acquire Burke Badenhop from Rays for Raul Mondesi Jr.
RobDeer 45 replied to trwi7's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think it's a solid move but I don't think we can expect much more than an average bullpen arm. That's fine with me. I think most of the bullpen is a crap shoot anyway. -
Great point about open wounds Pretendasntro. I always found myself thinking, don't let blood get on you or in your mouth when they were slaying walkers, but I really didn't think about it all the way through. You'd think that would trigger things. Also, why does a bite that doesn't kill you, make you turn? I mean they are all infected already..... I'm guessing I'm missing something obvious. I really love the show and I find myself being ok with the bad parts. I kind of laugh them off and sweep them under the rug. I do think the character development needs to start getting deeper. I was hoping for flash backs like on lost, to really understand the characters. I agree that the constant addition and then killing off of people can't last forever. I do think they could really go with this a long time. So many possibilities, so many states, cities, areas, scenarios. To do that though, they need to make us like, hate, and understand more characters. I'm hooked and really hope they can find ways to continue on improving the show.

Always wanted to get over and see that town and chain. How's the water clarity? I love being able to get to multiple options for food and entertainment by boat, it's so fun. I'm mainly familiar with NW WI. I love Long Lake (Birchwood), Lac Courte Orielles (Hayward), Round (Hayward), and the most beautiful lake I've ever seen is Lake Owen. When they say gin clear water, they aren't joking. Pretty amazing.

It is my goal to someday own property on one of Wisconsin's awesome lakes. It's really hard trying to narrow it down, there are so many great ones to choose from. I always like to hear people's opinions on which lake or area is their favorite in the state. Go ahead and shoot, which lake is your favorite and why?

Paul - Ya, I agree, it's a tough thing to see in to the future! They really have you by the you know whats. I mean, if you cancel because you are upset, you get a penalty, if you move, you get a penalty....basically you just have to do what they say. They use to let you have one free move..... now they don't do that (I looked in to it when I tried to get DTV a few months back). The guy did say that you can talk it over at that time, so there must be some way to get them to drop that fee. It is bad how much they take advantage of you if you want to change something.

Paul, I'm a fan of Directv, and currently have cable as I stated early. I do believe you have valid complaints. Here is how I would break down Directv. If you are going to be in your place for a long time, know how many boxes you need upfront, and know that it prob won't change, you can get a great deal with them and everything should be smoothe. If you have potential of moving in 2 years, getting more tvs (and then more recievers), or going in on the cheap side and upgrading later, Directv will nickel and dime you! They used to be so good at customer service, but now that they are big, they can be as shady as the cable companies. The product I get from Time Warner is not good, they offer less, and things seem to always have problems, but they always try to fix the problem at their cost, not mine. I guess I have to give them credit for that, but I really don't want to! If you have a plan and can stick to it with Directv, you should get a great product. As for the signal issue, I'd just lay it down for them. You set this up, it's not working correctly, you need to come fix this on your dime not mine. This is your problem and you are not offering the service that I'm paying $100 a month for! I think if you are firm, to the point, and don't lose your cool, and maybe have to get to the right manager, you can get them to take care of this.

This is another one of those, I'll really hate to see the guy go, but extending him has higher risk of it blowing up in our face. I loved him at 1b this year and the guy really played well for us. I worry about his body holding up. It just seems like his body is on the decline (injuries, decline in speed, etc). I'd love to have him on the team but I just don't see it as a smart move for the club. Of course, there is a dollar/yr amount where it may make sense, but I don't know if they can get to that.

I think there should just be a few categories that we compare people in. Musicians Entertainers Singers Idiots? Just joking....but seriously You can obviously be more than one of these things, but it's hard to compare Frank Sinatra to David Gilmour to Miley Cyrus.
-
Haha, that made me laugh....but I think you really are on to something. There maybe a few exceptions to the rule however. Yount, Deer, Incavilia (no idea how to spell that) are all trustworthy.
-
Ya I agree I've kind of turned in to the old guy. If it wasn't for my wife, I would prob be full go in that category. It's a lot of work to find new stuff that is not made by suits or isn't way too crazy for me. I do have to say there is good new music out there, people are fighting against the industry machine, doing things their own way. I agree using things like pandora are great ways to find new music that is similar to what you like. You aren't going to find too much "real music" on the radio these days unless it's a station that supports the little guy and local artists. I really really dislike bands that are made in the boardroom and then pimped out to make a buck.

Ya I think Peterson is def a development guy but not a major league coach, when most guys only want to tweak things here and there. I always got a snake oil salesman vibe from him (that's way too harsh of a comment, but just a little off). I think that type of stuff would be great for guys just starting out, or high school kids.
-
Random thought I had today. How many people, would you estimate, post on BF.net on a somewhat regular basis? You could tell me it's 20 or 300 and I'd believe it! Ha. I really have no clue and was just curious.
-
Whoa, I used to watch that too.... that does make a person feel old! Might have to check it out. I used to have a crush on Topanga!

Looks like he should be playing first base for a beer league softball team, I like that.

It's Election Day. Would you vote for or against the DH?
RobDeer 45 replied to jjkoestler's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Great quote use JJK! I too don't have a "problem" with the DH. I believe that you should be able to DH for any player, in high school you could.... I would vote no DH as well. It just adds more strategy, and I enjoy that. -
Disappointing Trend for MLB - TV Ratings
RobDeer 45 replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Great point Baldkin, that is a majority of it. I believe it being indoors maybe leads to a lot more "business people" going to the games too maybe? Not that they can't get juiced up too, but maybe do a better job of not being as aggressive about it. -
I agree, I'm always cautious with them. We will see which way they lean this year.
-
This is one of those moves that has me feeling really nervous right now. If we signed him, sure it would be exciting to have his bat, but boy does it seem risky as heck! Anything over 3 years would make me sweat.
-
MJLiverock, well said, but I think that this approach in the pen as "hate those rodents" said, is an ok approach. It seems like the pen is always a guess when it comes to the average guys, so I'd rather go with project guys, and hope one sticks. I'm ok with spending some money on a closer, setup guy, when appropriate, but I just don't understand how to value these guys. It's tough.

Goose Island, Christmas Ale, was a solid random pickup for me the other day. Worth a try.
-
I've enjoyed watching them the first few games. I don't live in market and haven't been interested enough to pull the trigger on the league pass, but watching them on the free preview was cool. I usually just follow box scores. They have me thinking about the investment, but I think I'll just hold off for now.

Disappointing Trend for MLB - TV Ratings
RobDeer 45 replied to Bombers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but leads to TV ratings potentially. After going to the Bengals game this weekend and not drinking, I am convinced that Baseball and Basketball are much better places for famlies and kids. I know there are plenty of idiots at baseball games, but it seems that there are way less than at NFL games. Maybe it was the section I was in or maybe it's just a Bengals game thing, or maybe because I was not drinking, but there were so many people that were blacked out and ready to throw up, it was unreal. My wife and I both like to have a good time, but we both were like, what is going on?! (for the record, I rarely have seen a hammered person at a Reds game, and def not anything like the people I saw yesterday). It kind of gave me hope that there is a lot of room for baseball to grow, as they should continue to promote famlies to come to games (and then hopefully they will watch them on TV as well). Again, I know there are plenty of over served people at Baseball games (and I've been one of them) but it's a much better place to bring a kid. I threw this out to my wife, do you think NBA games have the least amount of issues? I haven't been to one in several years, but never remember issues there.
