So is everyone cool with DM now?
yount19.u replied to UeckerAddict's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
100% true, but I would respectfully request that you no longer mention this out loud in order to avoid a jinx. Seriously, though, what a difference a winter can make. Being able to have the hope that we all have going into 2011 is worth it to me. Hope springs attorney! -
National Press Articles on Brewers
yount19.u replied to SoCal Brew Crew Fan's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The Times article on Axford is great. His story and personality make him such a great fit for the Brewers and the fan base. -
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=6038883 I didn't see this anywhere else, and I'm surprised I didn't. With the Brewers going for it this year, I think going $8.5-9 million a year for two years would have been worth it to make Wolf the 5th starter. That would have given them one of the deepest rotations in the majors. Maybe Pavano gave the Twins a discount.

I was just looking through my copy of BA's 2005 prospect book and Detroit was the 29th ranked system with Granderson, Verlander and Jurrjens. It just goes to show that rating prospects and systems is no exact science. Draft to draft, and year to year can also change a system's outlook drastically. With the team we now have, having a low ranked farm system is not that big of a deal. The farm system can, and will be restocked, so it's not like ten years ago where the team and the farm system were both bad and we had little hope.

Chad and Jamie: From our family to yours, we are so sorry to hear about your loss and hope that you will emerge from this tragedy as stronger people. We hope that you are surrounded by friends and family that love you. Brewer Nation also mourns your loss.
-
I think this trade assures that Prince will not be traded and we can expect to let him go for draft picks next year. The Brewers have gone from worst rotation to possibly top 5 in less than a month. What an awesome trade! Anyone think we'll still try and get Pavano or another pitcher?

I would hope Melvin has learned his lesson about signing veteran free agent pitchers.

Bucks an option of NBA contraction
yount19.u replied to BrewersSuperCollector's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Have you watched the NBA in the last few years? It's no longer the "me first" league run by the Iversons, Carters and McGradys of the world. That type of game, combined with low scoring and sloppy play lost a lot of fans in the late 90's and early 00's, and many still seem to believe it's continued on like that. With the emergence of Lebron, a much less selfish Kobe, and much improved point guard play, the League is actually starting to resemble it's glory days from the mid 80's and early 90's. Now if they can just get the refs on the same page, we'll have some pretty awesome basketball to watch. The NCAA, in my opinion, is only interesting because of March madness. Fundamentals are great, but they don't make it a better watch. The NBA has done a nice job of combining fundamentals along with incredible athleticism lately. As for the contraction issue. If it were serious, I think the Bucks would be on the table solely due to their aging arena and lack of market size. I don't think there is any truth to it, though. It's just Stern posturing in front of a potential labor dispute. -
The Scrubs with a bullet. Bar none the dumbest fans in all of sports. I hate them so much.
-
So we can get the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde treatment more than once every five days? They need to let Manny figure himself out as a starter. Sending him back to the bullpen will just confuse him more.

Who's Seen the Most Home Losses in Person?
yount19.u replied to rluzinski's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
The last win I saw was Opening Day of last year. I think that was about 10 games ago. -
If AI said he would play for free for the Bucks, I would rather have to pay Royal Ivey. AI is a cancer and would offer no positives for this team. Just because he was good at driving the lane does not make him a good teacher. A good teacher has to be unselfish first. Just show Jennings video of AI driving the lane in his prime and he'll figure it out.
-
Does he get no credit for drafting Jennings last year? Not to mention he did miss on 2nd rounder Meeks, but was still able to turn him into a high 2nd round pick this year. Hammonds is far from perfect, but when a move he makes does not pan out, he quickly recognizes it and still gets some value/flexibility while it still exists.
-
Here is Hollinger's take at ESPN: http://insider.espn.go.co...ge=freeagentmoves-100701 I feel much better about the deal after reading his breakdown of Gooden. Salmons at 5 years is probably a stretch, but it should still help the Bucks in the near future. And unless Ridnour takes a discount, I think the Bucks are better off letting him walk and picking up a free agent back up on a one or two year deal. They can't afford to have too many long term deals on the books. Especially with aging back ups like Ridnour who just came off a career (maybe a fluke?) year. If Cleveland and Chicago lose out on the Lebron sweepstakes, I think the Bucks have quietly built a front runner in the Central for the next few years.
-
After one season of watching Spaz Hands, I think they'll miss Uh-oh Maggette-O. Good trade for the Bucks. This should be a fun draft to follow with all the picks they now have.

Nolan Ryan's 300th win Robin Yount's 2999th and 3000th hits Everett Stull's 9 walks in 3.2 innings including 3 bases loaded walks The Crew's first, and only, playoff victory since '82.
-
Any other team picks up Suppan and I am thrilled. The fact that the Cardinals picked him up so quickly worries me. I'm guessing Duncan noticed some kind of mechanical flaw he feels he can fix, otherwise there would be no other reason to nab him. I'm not predicting Soup is going to have a Carlos Silva type run, but I bet he's an average starter with the Cardinals. I have nothing to base this on except for pure bad luck observations with Brewer pitching. I hope I'm wrong and we can all relish in easy Brewer victories when/if Suppan pitches against us.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it stupid Miller Park Cub fans!!!!!!!

So the big question is, if Macha and Melvin should be replaced, who are the better options out there? I agree both should be gone, but my concern is will their replacements be any better with what's out there?
-
Nice job JG. Let's hope Macha gives him some more starts this upcoming week.
-
I'm sure Ray would love to come back to Milwaukee, and I would love to see him back, but I'm not sure he would fit on a Scott Skiles team. He just doesn't play defense well enough, and with Delfino and Redd already on the roster, it would be too many of the same type of player. If Redd and Delfino were not on the team, I think it would work.
-
So the Bucks are about to end their season in a blow out, but I'm not disappointed. They've won back a lot of fans, myself included, and the future looks pretty bright. If done right, Hammonds, Skiles, Jennings and Bogut could be at the start of a nice playoff run for this franchise, as well as a new arena. Overall this was an A+ season for the Bucks. FEAR THE DEAR!
-
I don't understand how Skiles loses the award to a coach who has Kevin Durant on his team along with a team that was expected to be a playoff contender this year. I think Skiles/Jennings '10 will go down as the most underrated coach/point guard tandem in NBA history.
-
Brewer fans are starting to resemble Cubs fans lately and it's embarrassing to see. I think Hoffman deserves one more shot and if he struggles again, give the closing duties to Hawkins for a while. Hoffman's been around long enough to be able to right the ship on his own.
