I have been summoned...who dares wake the anti-smart?

Shouldn't we focus solely on Bush in the second half of the season? I think the real Dave Bush appears from July on.

I just saw this post...do you really believe this?

There goes the entertainment factor down the drain. Fare well snarky comments! FARE THEE WELL!

A member of the media gets tired of fans ripping him and fights back. Sly Stallone is TH in The Pen IS a Sword - next on Fox. I certainly don't condone putting Adam's personal info up on JSOnline.com, but I sure understand Tom arguing with fans in the comments section. You have no idea how insulting people can be. Who among us doesn't love being called an idiot while doing one's job? I KNOW I LOVE IT! The best part, those calling names often have facts wrong. And not a little bit wrong, but miles away from right, wrong. Alas, one does have to take the high road, and TH should not have put Adam's contact info up for public comsumption. But to call for Tom to be fired over this is a tad over the top. One other thing - I think Tom does a damn good job covering the team. Often times he seems to be the only one asking Mr. Yost tough questions. Plus, he's an entertaining writer. But again, that doesn't excuse what he/they did to Adam. Owen P.S. So who's getting tired of all the jumping on and off the Packer bandwagon? It's the new excersize craze!

HA! You're right. I missed the almost, thus proving your point.

To be fair, ESPN people almost always get overly defensive when any athlete or coach criticizes a member of the media, whether its deserved or not. And sweeping generalizations are always right.

This fight has embarrased the entire state and will be the beginning of the end. This team will never win another game and kittens will die.

Relax, it's just a shoving match. Hell, I just got into a shoving match with myself here in GB. I seriously had it coming and better watch my mouth or there will be a beat down.

So, Babe Ruth gets a pass? I don't think he does. But he's very dead, so it's difficult to take him to task. Someone get Dionne Warwick in here so that we can contact him.

They all run instead of admire. Act like you've been there.

I thought it was silly for Braun to sit and watch the ball fly out. Why give the other team any ammo against you?

Chacon should be in jail and if Chacon's account is correct, Ed Wade should be fired. Man, what a bunch of morons.

To me, both places are great, but Wrigley gets the nod because of all that history. Baseball's history is part of what makes it special, and the idea that you can go somewhere that Babe Ruth graced is pretty cool. Places like it and Fenway are truly amazing in a world filled with Metrodomes.

I agree with you re: Yost. This, of course means that all the hand wringing over Yost is pointless. The best move the Brewers could have made would have been to bring Walt Jocketty, who has been shown to be the best GM in terms of acquiring players who will win you games. With that said, I like the job Melvin has done. He hasn't been perfect, but he's been better than most.
