    I wonder how Cardinals fans feel about Gomez's fist pump. They probably find it far more disgraceful than Yadier's mask throw and epic profanity.

    It will be hard for Hart to start hitting with Kotsay playing in RF. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif He hasn't tweaked anything, has he?

    What about Jeter, Jeter, and Jeter??? It almost has to be Holliday-Pujols, simply because Pujols is absurdly good. In terms of top 3, you could make an argument that Braun, Fielder, Weeks is right up there.

    Jumping to this conclusion seems pretty unfair. I agree that teams benefit from having inviting clubhouses, but what does chemistry have to do with Trevor Hoffman imploding? Is a lack of chemistry the reason Braden Looper, Jeff Suppan, Manny Parra, and Dave Bush all had abysmal seasons in 2009? Macha may have been out of touch with his clubhouse, but as far as managers go his decisions on the diamond were very good. Roenicke has shown himself to have little understanding of lineup construction or defensive performance. If Yost were making the decisions Roenicke is making we'd have even more people calling for his head. With Gomez and Morgan in the 2-hole, having them steal is more often than not foolish.

    Well guys, I think it's time to hit the panic button. The Brewers now have to go 77-43 to finish 90-72. That's a .641 clip. It's not that I think these guys are this bad. It's just that they've already dug a pretty big hole and I don't think they're nearly good enough to dig out of it.

    just wiki'd haiku unknown syllabus numbers bring brew crew much luck

    I'll have to check that out some time. It's about 40 minutes from our apartment (we're living in Carrboro), but probably a great place to stop before a Hurricanes game.

    You seem to use every bit of evidence you can find to "discredit" UZR. I mean, should we also discredit OBP because the Twins are at a .292 clip so far? Give it time. The only way the Brewers will be positive at the end of the year is if Morgan and Gomez see a ton of playing time.

    Thanks GAME. Maybe I'll actually have to learn a thing or two about wine now.

    Meh, a lot of parodies that are meant to be funny are better thought out than this. I'm guessing these guys are just being goofy. I just don't see a situation where anybody would think this rap was "cool".

    ^ Dogfish 90 Minute is a great example of a beer that goes south really quickly. I let one sit too long in my fridge once (like >3 months) and it was pretty much just an astringent mess.
  12. Funketown
    I'm pretty sure this is a joke, or at least a semi-joke. Member, reveal yourself!

    I guess I have an irrational fear of "sprains" becoming "tears". Either way, here's to hoping he's back sooner than expected.
  14. Funketown
    Yup, that was a terrible call. It's a shame to see a great game end like that, although I won't deny being happy about the result. Rinne is a phenomenal goalie, and he's been spectacular this series. Can't fault him too much for the second goal. It's amazing to me the goalies Finland keeps turning out. The NHL would be a much less entertaining league without names like Mikka, Hannu, and Vesa.
  15. Funketown
    Ouch. Sounds like it could be quite a while before we see Manny. Any idea on the likelihood that he'll need Tommy John?

    Strawboss, I agree that a huge amount of how much we enjoy wine/beer is due to expectations. When I (rarely) get to drink an expensive bottle, I find myself trying to tell myself it's far better than what I'm used to, although I usually admit I can't tell much of a difference. From what I've heard, it's not difficult to find a very good $15 bottle of wine these days, and there are lots of $50+ bottles that aren't that great. Of course, I won't argue too hard either way given my ignorance about fine wine. GAME, do you have any suggestions for decent local wines in NC for around or about $10? I know you said there's a pretty good grape growing region in the West.

    Found a couple Goose Island Harvest Ales in the back of my fridge, bottled about seven months ago but still holding up surprisingly well. Not sure what hoppage they use (they say Cascade) but it actually fades into a mild peppery flavor that's pleasant.

    One of my groomsmen tried to book Meat Loaf for my wedding. We said we'd give him a free 12 oz. prime rib and $10 to spend at the bar. We never heard back. Thus, Meat Loaf is an arrogant jerk.
  19. Funketown
    Sweet. Mark Kotsay survives another day. This roster shuffling is getting annoying, to say the least.
  20. Funketown
    That Fielder error was one of the uglier ones I've ever seen. I'm pretty confident that I could have fielded that successfully more than half the time.
  21. Funketown
    That strike three was horrible, but at least they got the fielder's choice at home. Gameday has that as a borderline meatball.
  22. Funketown
    I think I heard an estimate of 3,500 fans. That's ridiculous!

    9 IP, 6 BB, 2 K, 0 H. http://scores.espn.go.com...ins-vs-chicago-white-sox In all seriousness, is this the worst no-hitter performance of all time?

    I'm not a wine guy, but I'll chime in and perhaps defend all you winos. The tasters were "578 drinkers at Edinburgh International Science Festival". From what it looks like, these aren't professional tasters. I don't drink a ton of wine, and I don't have much of a palette for wine. I have a pretty decent palette for food and beer, but I just don't drink wine that often. I personally don't think I would find an expensive bottle better than a reasonably good cheap bottle. Of course, this doesn't mean that there are not people who are passionate about wine who can tell the difference between a good wine and a bad wine! Edit: Oh, and I'll chime in that I do have one strong opinion on wine: If you're cooking with wine, don't spend much more than a ten, especially if you're cooking for a long time. Most of the flavor compounds will die out anyways, and in cooking, I doubt that anyone can tell the difference between using a good $10 bottle for a beef burgundy and a $25 or $30 bottle. :/end rant.

    That ex-sort-of-DIII-NCAA-player guy is classic. I love the guys who believe that those who lack the ability to play baseball are incapable of conducting an objective analysis of baseball.
