    Is that only in Milwaukee or state wide?

    Can anyone list any possible way to watch the game tonight if you live in state but not in Milwaukee? My God I hate the Bucks so much, the ideal scenario would be to get rid of them and add an NHL team but I would still prefer to have no NBA just so I don't have to miss 4-5 brewer games.

    Here is a good article on how these projections work: http://www.hardballtimes....rticle/forecasting-2006/ Basically if you take say the top 20 listed in a projection their projected group average IP will be near the actual group average IP even though on an individual basis the values will differ a lot from the projections. It is not because they think all these guys will get injured or that it is difficult to throw 200 innings in a row. Also since 2001, there have been 170 pitchers throw at least 1 200+ IP seasons. The following players have had such streaks: MBeuhrle 01-10 (10) JVazquez 00-09 (9.9) (only pitched 198 IP in 2004, 4 straight 200+IP seasons before and 5 after) LHernandez 00-07 (9.9) (pitched 199.2 IP in 1999 and 234 in 1998) Jmoyer 01-06 (6) FGarcia 01-06 (6) BZito 01-06 (6) CZambrano 03-07 (5) RHalladay 06-10 (5) BWebb 04-08 (5) JSantana 04-08 (5) ROswalt 04-08 (5) JLackey 03-07 (4.9) (only 198.1 IP in 2004) CCSabathia 07-10 (4) GMaddux 03-06 (4) APettitte 05-08 (4) JGarland 04-07 (4) THudson 01-03 (3) RClemens 03-05 (3) RJohnson 04-06 (3) CLee 08-10 (3) JLackey 05-07 (3) And these are just hand picked so there are probably more, including this 5 year (brown) streak: JSuppan 99-03 (5)

    This is my point, who cares what some scouts think because they are usually wrong. If no one thought Bonds was in the mix for #1 pick then everyone who decided on "the mix" was wrong, just like these 3 nameless idiots.

    Some scouts also thought we should draft bj surhoff over barry bonds

    McGehee just left the game after being hit by a pitch on the right knee...are you kidding me. He was able to walk to first but was then lifted for a pr

    Heads up guys, if the badgers win on thursday they will probably play on Saturday night which means the great dane (any location) will be 200% packed and fully dedicated to the badger game. If the badgers are scheduled to play on Sat I would think you need to get to any bar at least 2 hours before the game to get a table.

    We actually will need someone on April 9 and April 19, but Grienke may be back by the 19th. Assuming we use a 4 man rotation when possible

    2 errors and a catchers interference for the cubs, brewers score 6 runs using 6 outs.

    Now 1-1 at the plate as well. Perfect season thus far.

    What would you say if you were Roenicke, the guy who pretty much has to be my opening day starting SS really sucks. I mean looking at his past defensive metrics really shows me he is horrible at defense. He must have terrible range and have a bad arm because these stats really show he sucks. This is one of the reasons why managers are important even though it cannot be shown on a graph, he needs to instill confidence in his players. He needs to make up whatever he can to prove to YB that he thinks he can get that job done. Now Im still not sure if Ron and Doug actually believe the stuff they say like about Orlando Cabrera, I tend to think they actually do but part of me hopes they know better and are just telling the average fan what they want to hear.

    Before TJ surgery the news this week would have been Adam Wainwright's career is over.

    I dont see Wild Thing anywhere is there a typo?

    I cant wait for Telly to interview him after his first no-hitter this season: TH: Zach, you were able to throw a no-hitter today, how were you able to do that? ZG: That is same question you ask every player after every game, it is a pretty dumb question. TH: When you got that last grounder ball out to pitch for a perfect game how were you able to do that? ZG: The last out was a flyout you moron and I walked that guy in the 6th so it wasnt a perfect game. TH: When Brauny made that great catch to save a hit, how was he able to do that? ZG: That wasnt that great of a catch becuase his first 3 steps were in the wrong direction so he really didnt need to dive. If I was out there I would have caught it without diving. TH: You were also able to hit for a hit tonight, how were you able to do that plus in addition to throwing a no-hitter for a complete game. ZG: This is getting really dumb now, I dont think I want to do this interview anymore. What, I have to talk with Davey next, my God I need a Chipotle Burrito.

    Elbows are the classiest body parts to injure so this makes sense

    When more than 20 scouts hovered around Apopka High's baseball field for one of his games, Greinke was asked by a National League scout, "Should we draft you or Scott Kazmir?" Greinke quipped: "Me. I'm a better hitter."

    Now Hoffman will be on a ballot with Griffey, Jim Edmonds, Andy Pettitte plus holdovers from previous years which will probably include Mussina, Smoltz + steroid guys like Gary Sheffield. I dont see him getting over 50% on his first ballot. And by this time he will not be the all-time saves leader.

    We now locked up a guy who can maintain a .360 OBP and hit 30 HRs...which means we have 2 Ryan Bruans. Not to mention this version of Ryan Braun plays second base instead of the OF.

    This is not final yet and based on an ESPN rumor from a "source". It is not on MLB Trade Rumors yet which in my book does not mean it is true.

    Is Miguel Cabrera spanish for Ron Burgundy?

    Utley 05-08, average season: 150 G, 110 R, 178 H, 42 2B, 29 HR, 104 RBI, 14/2 SB/CS, 62/108 BB/SO, .305/.385/.541 137OPS+ 6.3 WAR That would be a historic stretch for a 2B, we could only hope for that production and it would be extremely optimistic to expect it.

    The real question is whether or not you would support Chuck Finley for the HOF because he is almost the same player as Pettitte: Finley: 3.85 ERA 1.376 WHIP 467 GS 3197 IP 2610 K Petit: 3.88 ERA 1.357 WHIP 479 GS 3055 IP 2251 K Pettitte's only advantage is he walked less hitters 2.8 BB/9 vs 3.7 for Finley, he gave up less HRs 0.8 HR/9 vs 0.9 for Finley, and all the postseason stuff which is only because he played in NY. Finley better peak years, top 6 years in WAR: Finley 7.5, 6.6, 6.3, 4.6, 4.4, 4.4 Petit 7.6, 5.8, 5.7, 3.3, 3.3, 3.3 And overall lead with 55 WAR to 50.2 for Pettitte Finley also had 63 CGs and 15 SHO vs Pettitte's 25 CG and 4 (!) SHO. But Pettitte went 240 - 138 while Finley went 200 - 173 so Pettitte looks better but they are really the same player. Finley got only 1 vote for the HOF but Id guess Pettitte gets somewhere between 10-20% of the vote on his first try.

    In 2006 the Brewers had the 2nd highest ERA in the NL at 4.82. Not sure how you can say that is "really good"
