  1. OK Perez Ill give you credit on that one and Ill forgive the bad throw since it didnt look like you had a proper grip on the ball after the barehand
  2. I think I'd rather keep Aguilar over Perez just for his bat, Villar or Sogard can play 3rd if needed.
  3. Hey now, BA called him an ace and Rock said he was "so-so" last year
  4. He seems like such a likable guy but I swear Rock and Brian literally giggle when a major league hitter swings and misses at his “stuff”. I can’t believe the rotation Stearns put out there. Can we get Bill Travers and Jim Slaton to come out of retirement to help us? Maybe Auggie still has his brick-a-ball working?
  5. runner on first, hit in front of the LF SS is always the cut to 3rd and should always be there.
  6. Suter is getting lit up, as I would expect from a high school pitcher in the majors
  7. No, he accepted a suspension because of his actions from 2011 which he admitted to. Being "linked" to Biogensis is not against any rules. Ryan Braun from 2013: "During the latter part of the 2011 season, I was dealing with a nagging injury and I turned to products for a short period of time that I shouldn't have used. " "After my interview with MLB in late June of this year, I came to the realization that it was time to come to grips with the truth," Braun said. "I was never presented with baseball's evidence against me, but I didn't need to be, because I knew what I had done." "It was a huge mistake for which I am deeply ashamed and I compounded the situation by not admitting my mistakes immediately," "I have no one to blame but myself. I know that over the last year and a half I made some serious mistakes, both in the information I failed to share during my arbitration hearing and the comments I made to the press afterwards," "I kept the truth from everyone."
  8. Just kidding, we can offer you mimosa too! You can drink them in our establishments and outside too in our parking lots!!!
  9. This is difference, some people view it as he didn't handle to well, and others view it as he absolutely handled it in the worst possible way that anyone could ever imagine.
  10. We are talking about why Braun continues to get hate. I think the real reason is that because ESPN made it their mission to smear him and they indoctrinated all of their viewers to hate him. After re-watching his press conference I noticed he gloated about "certain network", probably his biggest mistake. Couple that with his over the top, lying press conference, and that is the answer. Yes everybody lies, and if certain people you lied about knew you were lying in your own life they would probably hate you too. Lying is not a all or nothing thing for a lot of people, and people will forgive or excuse a "white lie" vs something like Braun's press conference. The press conference was so over the top, doubling, tripling down on his lie with continuous talk about how he lives his life in this super virtuous way. If you can't see the degree of his lying was at historic levels and that separates what he did from what "everybody" does "all the time", then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I think it is completely reasonable that Braun suddenly became a bad guy after that shameful display, and if any of us got caught in a similar circumstance you would also suddenly become a bad guy.
  11. I don't understand how anyone can watch that knowing what we know now, and not view Braun as "a bad guy". Yes, suddenly he is the bad guy after that.
  12. Maybe you guys need to review the tape again on this one... Here are some direct quotes from Braun "I tried to handle the entire situation with honor, with integrity, with class, with dignity and with professionalism because that is who I am and that how I've always lived my life" -lie "If I had done this intentionally or unintentionally, I'd be the first one to step up and say "I did it" -lie "By no means am I perfect, but if I've ever made any mistakes in my life I've taken responsibility for my actions" -lie "I truly believe in my heart, and I would bet my life that this substance never entered my body at any point" -good thing no one called him on this bluff. "There were a lot of times I wanted to come out, tell the entire story, but at the end of the day I recognized what's actually best for the game of baseball, and I've put that ahead of what was actually best for myself" -lie "I have always stood up for what is right, today is about everybody who has ever been wrongly accused, and everybody who has had to stand up for what is actually right" -lie "I will continue to take the high road because that's who I am, and that's the way that I've lived my life" -lie "We won because the truth is on my side" -lie "...I contacted the players association and expressed to them that I have not done anything that could have possibly led to this test result. I told them that I promise you on everything that has ever meant anything to me in my life, the morals, the values, the virtues by which I've lived for my 28 years on this planet, I did not do this." -lie
  13. What does everyone here lying have to do with anything. It does not matter how the sample was handled, Braun knew he broke the rules and used a banned substance. The real question is, what kind of moron would come out and hold the press conference he did knowing you were actually guilty. How about a one sentence press release of "I am glad that my suspension was overturned and I look forward to a successful season with the Milwaukee Brewers"
  14. Umm, do you not realize his statement was all a lie, he knew it was a lie when he was reading it, and admitted to it afterwards. Yes, he is in fact a bad guy for knowingly lying about something in public. He did throw many people under the bus who publicly supported him and then had to eat crow, both "big time guys" like Aaron Rodgers and the "little guy" like us. I still don't care because I don't see how using something to recover from an injury can be considered cheating anymore when we allow pitchers to remove a part of their leg and have it surgically put in their arm which sometimes allows them to throw harder than before the surgery. That is considered a modern science miracle, but using some cream or taking some pill is cheating.
  15. I get what you meant, I was trying to tell a joke implying that having high life is the superior option. I have failed
  16. I could see CC resting Cain since he went 0-4 tonight. They didn't hesitate to rest Braun after his last HR though. Could pull an upset and sit Thames with Braun at 1B

  18. It is also snowing a lot at my house in April, this will be a game to remember
