Branyan attacked in hotel room...

The only three true outcomes from a falling table are: broken table, spilled coffee or injured toe. -
I didnt touch it after it was first brought up but I couldnt let that 1 comment be that only 1. Sorry, I also dont want this to be a Favre thread.

Sorry this is not baseball related but I have to defend Brett. Clearly, 8brewcrew, he hates the Packers and all he ever wanted his entire career was to play for the Vikings. This is why he signed a lifetime contract with the Packers in 2001. Or maybe, he was forced out by the greedy GM who wanted his own guy after taking the team to the NFC champ game? It is possible to still be a Packers fan and cheer for Brett because you understand that if he had things his way he would be the QB in Green Bay. Did you see him crying when he was booed at Lambeau, yeah this guy is a real Benedict Arnold.

They really dont, look at the numbers. The Yankees only have a monoploy over whatever majority of NYC their fans come from. Having a monopoly over that market, although not the entire NYC area, is still enough to give rediculous advantages over the Brewers and....EVERY other team including the Mets.
-
Last year the Yankees Revenue was $441 million dollars. The next closet team was the Mets at $268 million about $170 million difference. And all this talk about the Yankees putting all their money back into the team is [expletive deleted]. The Yankees spent 46.9% of their revenue on payroll which is approximately LEAGUE AVERAGE, the same as the Kansas City Royals. It is a myth that the Yankees try to win more than every other team, and it is also a myth that Steinbrenner was somehow spending his own money because he loved winning so much. Do you think he was taking money out of his kids inheritance to sign A-Rod? He wasnt, he was only able to do sign every player he ever wanted because he had a monopoly (along with the Mets) over NY baseball, a city large enough to support 5 baseball teams but instead has 2. Here's a Joe Posnanski article that explains the problem in more detail. http://joeposnanski.com/J...4/19/forbes-and-yankees/ (edits: language (B.S.) & fixed link --1992)

Well only 17 LOB today, 1 short of the NL record, 2 short of the team record (in a game they won) and 3 short of the ML record.
-
Inglett 8 hole: 1-2, 3 BB, 3 LOB Escobar 2 hole: 0-5, 1 BB, 10 LOB
-
OK boys, strand the bases loaded and we set the NL record...at least since 1920!
-
The NL record is only 18!!! Now we need 3 in 2 innings to break that!!
-
Only 1 LOB really hurt us that inning. We need 4 in 2 innings to tie the record now.
-
the record for LOB for a 9 inning game is 20 back in 1956. The brewers did leave 19 on once in 1986. The record in insight today! http://www.baseball-refer...l=1.0&c5bgl_b=&nineinn=1

tagged out by 3rd baseman? What happened to McGehee there?
-
Nice game, great timing too as I am about to end my 7+ hour flight delay in Cleveland. See quote below.
-
Loe is pitching like Coffey '09
-
Good spot to steal here for Braun, Napoli 23% Career CS rate.
-
Never mind Pete Rose had 29, although with only 4 as his single season high. Maybe Craig's 6 in '04 in the single season leader? I cant figure out how to look this up on BB-Ref for career leaders.
-
Very good, Counsell has an amazing 12 career CI including 6 in 2004 alone with the crew. His old weird swing must have distracted the catcher or something. I checked and Hank Aaron had 0, I wonder if Craig is the all-time leader?
-
Im not watching the game (waiting for a flight in the Cleveland Airport) and it was probably correct to hold Edmonds on 3rd there, but I have been very disappointed in Brad Fischer at 3rd. I think he is too conservative with 0 outs even on hits when the OF was conceding the run.
-
Yeah they are pretty rare, the brewers as a team have only had 1 other since 2006. That may be Braun's only career CI.
-
No, Braun is 1-1 so far.
-
Very interesting question, I couldnt figure out how to search this on the bb-ref play index, but I wasted some time to find the 1902 NL Pittsburgh Pirates: Ginger Beaumont .357 Tommy Leach 6 HR Honus Wagner 91 RBI They won the pennant by 27.5 games. A few others that missed were Aaron and Mathews in 1959; Oliva and Killebrew a few times; Ruth and Gehrig; Cobb and Crawford; Boggs, Rice and Armas came close in 1983, and probably many more.
-
We paid Hammonds $22.2 M for 0.1 WAR, Suppan $42 M for -0.8 WAR..... So we paid Hammonds $222 M/WAR and Suppan $Infinity/WAR ?

Those stats really don't show me much. So you think allowing more ER than strikeouts may be a result of bad luck? How do those stats not show you that those pitchers suck. You can maybe forgive Cook a little bit for a Coors inflated ERA but the others have no excuses. I would like to see the ERA, WHIP, and FIP for those pitchers over that time. Fangraphs wont let me easily get the FIP for a portion of a players career, so FIP listed are the "average" based on my judgement. Player, SO, GS, ER, ERA, ERA+, WHIP, FIP Aaron Cook 266 95 277 4.17 112 1.32 4.3 Zach Duke 279 94 303 4.74 88 1.497 4.4 Livan Hernandez 289 106 362 5.08 86 1.559 5.0 Braden Looper 295 97 301 4.76 89 1.38 4.5 Jeff Suppan 302 97 326 5.08 83 1.596 4.9

From 2007-2010, the 5 pitchers who started at least 90 games and allowed more earned runs than strikeouts: Player, SO, GS, ER Aaron Cook 266 95 277 Zach Duke 279 94 303 Livan Hernandez 289 106 362 Braden Looper 295 97 301 Jeff Suppan 302 97 326
