  1. Wow the Brewers actually signed someone on my list of players I thought were interesting.
  2. Is Parker and Giannis better than Allen and Robinson?
  3. How does Eaton get Giolito plus? This must be a mistake.
  4. Forgot about Baez. Yeah that INF is crazy good. They have three SS's playing in that INF.
  5. Who plays SS for Puerto Rico? Lindor or Correa? I would go with Lindor at SS then either Correa at 2B or 3B.
  6. I hate it when someone gets on the elevator when I am trying to get off.
  7. I don't think it was the Defense that let the Badgers down it was the 2nd half dead offense that let them down again. They did this against Ohio State earlier in the year and against Michigan.
  8. The thing is though the banks are trying to get rid of checks all together. The reason being is that paper checks is the least secure way of making a payment. If you lose your checkbook and someone goes on a shopping spree with your checkbook there is very little to nothing the bank can do for you. For your debit card there is the dispute process but you are going to have to wait between 3-5 business days before you see your money back typically. Credit cards are actually the safest way to protect your money in your bank. Yes I know for some credit cards are dangerous because they buy more than what they can afford. But you are protected more behind a credit card from fraud than you are if you are using your debit card for purchases.
  9. Conspiracy theory below: MLB is trying to make the A's go bankrupt and then they will take over. This would then allow them to move them to wherever the MLB would want to move them to. Possibly a contraction team?
  10. I like this idea. Have Plouffe play 3B not a bad pickup if he somehow finds out how to hit again. [sarcasm]Aren't Plouffe and Braun friends since high school? So the Brewers would have that going for them......[/sarcasm]
  11. Rosters may expand to 26 players with restrictions on the expanded rosters in September. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2676693-mlb-reportedly-considering-expanding-team-roster-sizes-latest-details-reaction
  12. From And That's list I like KC Serna, Kraig Sitton, Andrew Barbosa, Cesar Puello and Brian Matusz.
  13. I would rate Scooter's bat better than his defense far better than his defense actually. Not that it is great or anything but he is better offensively than he is defensively. Yes I know what the advanced stats say about his offense and his defense but he is far worse defensively than his advanced stats say he is. I still think the Angels were the best shot and I thought a Cowart for Gennett deal would be fair for both the Brewers and the Angels but it looks like they are valuing defense here at 2B.
  14. True but the Dodgers are not just going to give him up for nothing and I see them valuing him because of his versatility. I am not sure Utley will return and that leaves a hole at 2B for the Dodgers and I strongly believe the Dodgers are going to trade Puig this off season which opens up another spot in the OF. Even if Kendrick wants out now I just can't see the Dodgers trading him unless they are getting back a major league piece to plug a whole with his departure.
  15. I think it was Scooter and the Angels were one of the teams I had pegged as a possible trading partner. After the Angels the Dodgers make some sense but I think the Dodgers value Kendrick more over Scooter due to Kendrick can play in the OF. After the Dodgers and Angels I am not sure there is a team that is going to be all that interested in Scooter. Maybe the A's and the Royals would be interested but I don't think you are getting much back from them. The Braves could be a possibility but I think they will go internally there.
  16. I don't see the Dodgers giving up Kendrick. A good thought but Kendrick fills a few holes that the Dodgers have in the OF and at 2B and that is just to valuable for the Dodgers to give up.
  17. No that is normal pricing. The only time you could get a deal for the Bucks was the year after the lockout where they discounted prices but after that year they went back to the astronomically high prices again. I still don't understand how people can go to more than a few games a year. For the Suns when the Bucks are in town courtside runs about $700-$900 a ticket that is behind the Bucks bench. For some strange reason I have found tickets behind the Suns bench lower at about $500 a ticket. Behind the courtside seats range from $100- $450 depending on what side of the court you want to be on. I completely forgot how expensive NBA games are if you want to sit anywhere decent. I know at the Bradley center I will never sit in the upper deck area as my legs don't fit in the seats up there.
  18. There are always exceptions to the rule. But suggesting a guy is the exception to the rule (before he actually is the exception to the rule) is usually a really bad way determine a guy's future value. I see your point, but Suter's performance so far indicates to me that as a reliever, he could be a left-handed Doug Jones as a floor. I don't think the numbers lie. Suter is closer to Chris Narveson than he is to Doug Jones. To clarify even more Narveson is Suters floor and his ceiling is that of Doug Davis. Not really all that impressive.
  19. The Rockets didn't release Ennis they just didn't exercise an option for next year.
  20. I don't believe the Cubs and the Brewers match up all that well. The only player that I could see the Cubs having a realistic interest in would be Thornburg. The Cubs bullpen is their biggest weakness with or without Chapman and Thornburg would address that issue. The problem here is that the Cubs don't really have pieces that the Brewers would be coveting for Thornburg. While Candelario would be a good starting point the Cubs would have to add in another prospect or two and I just don't see anyone in the Cubs organization that would be someone I would want in a Thornburg trade. Ian Happ is a no go for the Cubs they are not going to give up someone that valuable for a late inning relief pitcher though I could be wrong here.
  21. Has anyone taken a job out of the country? I have been contemplating trying to get a job out of the country in the next couple of years. Anyone have any advice on where to start on this? I am not sure where I want to go either.
  22. This has to be one of the better World Series in recent years. I don't think there was a single dull game.
  23. Other than the 4 hour game they are all the same as the super bowl. The super bowl on average is 3.5 hours while the NHL and NBA are at about the 2.5 hour mark. NCAA is far worse as coaches seem to horde their time outs in the tournament and the final couple of minutes can drag on for about 20 extra minutes. I think the final 2-minutes of play in 2014 when the Badgers played Kentucky took about 18 minutes to complete with all of the time outs and commercial time outs. Baseball is actually on par with the NFL when it comes to time of play.
  24. [sarcasm]Because cocaine is only available in Miami.[/sarcasm] Grasping at something here and I have no idea what it is.
  25. Not a Packers fan but they need to move Matthews back to a pass rusher. He is not your typical linebacker and he is rather poor in coverage compared to his pass rush abilities. Of the games I have seen the Packers are missing Matthews pass rush on defense. As for their offense Cobb is an overrated WR and Nelson is their only threat right now at WR. They are missing a TE which the offense that they run is a key part to it. Without a pass catching TE their offense will continue to struggle.
