We just got back from Branson, MO. It felt like the love-child of Las Vegas and WI Dells... A smaller city, but with a lot of touristy stops with flashy signs. Sight and Sound Theater was excellent. The rest of Branson was meh. The Ozark mountains were nice though. Reminded me of the East Coast mountain ranges (i.e. tree covered and not as "rocky") and had some really nice views. We spend a good portion of time at Dogwood Canyon - a public park owned by Johnny Morris (i.e. Bass Pro Shops) that had a lot of waterfalls, Bison, Elk, and a beautifully manage trout stream (free fishing if you want, but catch and release).

Similar feedback from me... I've been given Omaha steaks, burgers, chicken, hot dogs. The steaks are normally good, but the price is always crazy compared to a local butcher. There is a butcher chain store around me that I hate and almost equally expensive. But if you get out to the rural ones (i.e. locally sourced beef), they tend to be reasonable price and good quality. However, my favorite is buying half a cow from someone I know. Hands down the best steaks I ever get and for about the price of store-bought hamburger (i.e. $4-5/lb after processing and packaging). -
Red Sox Rumors: Available Targets in Trade
CheezWizHed replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
We need Hamilton and Toro back! Actually, Toro might not be a bad fit in the infield, but with Durbin doing well and Ortiz getting hot, that makes it a challenge to remove them. -
Most of the list was redundant (or worse) from what we already have. Nothing looked interesting to me.
-
Nah, you just came full circle to the start of the discussion. 😂
-
You want another player for the forum to argue about, but never actually produces at the MLB level? I thought we had Tyler Black for that? *CWH ducks and runs for cover*
-
And then I merged in the other thread and broke it.... and edited the title again. 🤦♂️
-
More likely it means they won't sign him for more than the minimum. I'd guess someone else is going to offer him more than that... and now we can't match it. I don't like it personally. I think he has a bright future as a solid role player (the type of cheap players we need).

Dame getting released is his best-case scenario. He wasn't going to play next year, so he has no responsibilities. He gets all his money for the next two years from the Bucks, so he loses no money. Whatever contract he gets in 2027 (when he could've been still under contract with the Bucks) is add-on money. So congrats on getting a raise for being injured! As many said, Dame's offensive game just didn't work well with Giannis. It seems like it should've been the perfect complement... but just didn't. Then you have Dame's and Brook's defensive liabilities, and it just was a poor match. The best-looking Bucks team last year was: When Dame was injured and KPJ was going off. When Giannis or Dame played with the other on the bench. Now Dame is going to be 37 and coming off a serious injury.... his defense won't improve. His ability to drive and keep people out of his face (defending the 3) won't improve... Moving on was the best option. We might have some scoring questions with Giannis on the bench, but the defense should be much improved this year.
-
Giannis: Yeah, I'm really sad to see Damian go. Media: "Giannis not pleased with how the Bucks are handling things" Giannis: I want to play in Milwaukee Media: "Giannis considering his future" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sounds a lot like when Jrue or Khris were traded away.... a big nothing burger ultimately. I'll wait to actually hear Giannis' actual comments before worrying at all.
-
Unfortunately, the Bucks were mistaken in thinking that drafting Bogo actually got them another pick for free... Seems like a good development pick... now if they would actually develop one of these guys instead of trading them away. 😉
-
Here I thought this year was going to be a slow one to prepare for next year.
-
If you have a 3B that can hit 250-270 with 15 HRs and good defense, you have someone with an OPS around 750-820 (250/350/400 - 270/370/450). That is an above average starter... not a band aid.
-
I think the celebrations are a bit over the top, but I certainly don't want to go back to LaRussa's teams beaning people because someone smiled after hitting a HR. I like the team celebrations after every hit... You see it as narcissism, but I see it as team unity and rally energy it brings the team. I can do without the props though... they made sense when it was a team identity... but it has gotten way too silly. I'm still trying to figure out why the Twins use a Roman legionnaire helmet after a HR. At least the Brewers using a Cheesehead made sense given the team identity.
-
Frankly, I don't care if he punts the ball to 1B as long as he is accurate and timely. 😂 We don't need (or can get) platinum gloves at all positions. He is solid throwing and has an excellent glove with good range. His only weakness would be the 7' high line drives....
-
A totally unbiased opinion that I'm sure is devoid of any hyperbole... It wouldn't surprise me if the reality was closer to the Aaron Jones situation where the Packer's and Viking's deals were ultimately the same amount, with the Viking giving him more guaranteed money.
-
nice writeup! I also find it amusing how many of those comp players were former Brewers or had draft/FA signing rumors about the Brewer's interest.
-
My sons and I were talking about this Sunday at the game. No one player has really stood out or played at an All-Star level...yet they continue to win. Pitcher: Most Deserving: Patrick - Fading a bit more recently, but really has been good this year. Megill - The numbers are less than Uribe's but the pressure has been MUCH higher. Uribe - Looking filthy out there! But no one will "notice" until he is a closer. Most Likely: Peralta - Name recognition, but also a very steady SP anchor. Performance is about the same as Patrick's with his recent fade. Position Player: Most Deserving: Turang - His lack of slugging keeps his OPS down while most of his value comes in his platinum defense. Frelick - Starting to blossom as a hitter, but lacking SLG again. Good lead-off guy with GG defense - Oddly, this is exactly what his draft profile said he would become (how often does that happen?). Most Likely: Yelich - Name recognition driving this mostly, but his HR count doesn't hurt either. I'll vote for Patrick, but I think Yelich actually goes.
-
And the Cardinals lose. Great day for a sweep!
-
I like players that enjoy baseball and are down to earth about the fans. Sal just seems like a nice guy. I saw the "bat drama" yesterday during the game but just saw this posted later. Sal returned the bat after the game.
-
I don't do it enough to know it well. I tend to just follow my GPS. TF is a nice park and a major improvement over the Hefty-dome. They had too many seats that didn't face the action - a literal pain in the neck after watching a 9 inning ball game. I still think they should've done the retractable dome. Sure the skyline is nice, but I don't go to a ballpark to look at the skyline. April and Oct ballgames (and any rainstorm between) are miserable to watch. I spent enough of those games at County Stadium.
-
Getting someone like Wilkins up next year at 3B isn't out of the question either. Not that Durbin is much better, but Durbin to 2B and Turang to SS fixes it too.
-
My sons and I will be there on Sunday. One has to work tonight or we'd probably go to see Les Mis making the Twins Miserable'! Oddly, I don't find getting in and out of Minneapolis downtown any worse than getting out of Miller Park (yes, I said it) despite it not being surrounded by buildings. I've not decided if we take the rail or not... I tend to prefer the rail as I hate the headache of driving, but it is slower overall. But if the Brewers win big, the Twins will be leaving early. 😂
