You do realize this is one of those newfangeled nine inning games, right?
-
Because the the Brewers won't be able to make a comeback from 3 games back with a mere 79 games to play? I'm not following.
-
If Schumaker and Wainright are any indication, the Cardinals appear to be having a mustache contest. And apparently they invited the homeplate ump as well.
-
I dunno, Sabathia and Sheets look pretty tempting.
-
The right edge of the plate doesn't exist, his opinion of what is and isn't a swing is a bit hazy, and the strike zone is a bit inconsistent from batter to batter.
-
I'm not sure if that's a question or something else entirely, but I'll go ahead and guess what you're looking for is 34.
-
Brings back memories of Ben Sheets.
-
The coverage on TBS (both the play-by-play and in the studio) is absolutely insufferable.
-
I can't decide if Santana is having a particularly bad night, or the offense is just hitting on all cylinders right now. Or maybe it's just a little bit of both.
-
You're outta shape, man. This isn't the brewers19 I remember.I suppose I could always hide their posts and pretend like mine was the first response.
-
I suppose it's possible for a closer to come in and pick off a runner for the last out of the game before throwing a pitch. Unless there's some fine print in the qualifications for a save that precludes that. EDIT: Beaten like a redheaded stepchild. Twice.
-
Hell, Gamel could've done that.
-
Although, assuming that he's more or less going to be the Cardinals starting third baseman, keep in mind that he's replacing a woefully inept platoon previously at that position. Thurston, Barden, K. Green, Freese, and T. Greene with their respective WARs of 0.5, 0.3, -0.4, -0.1, and 0.1 make the upgrade to DeRosa slightly better still. Nothing earth shattering, but better nonetheless.

I was simply responding to your implication that because I don't frequently make insightful posts about the Brewers, I'm somehow going against what we're trying to promote. If that wasn't your intention, then I'm afraid I don't really know why you felt need to comment on it in the first place. This site is not a democracy (or like Arby's, for that matter). And it doesn't directly matter how many people visited the vent thread or like Elvis; we don't have an strict obligation to cater to those individuals. We may choose to, but we're not required to. As long as we're not completely alienating our entire membership, we're going to do what we think best adheres to the original goals that this site was founded upon. This site fills a niche, and we're not claiming or striving to appeal to every type of fan out there. Somewhere to blow off steam is something that people can get any number of other places; quality, in-depth discussion about the Brewers organization is something that causes this site to stand out and be successful. There's a lot that we could easily do to bring more traffic to this site if that was our only goal, but it's not. We're not going to betray our ideals just to be more popular.

True, but what important information that you chose to ignore is the fact that I don't make low-quality posts either. The vast majority of my posts are administrative in nature, but that doesn't mean that I don't read and take great interest in what discussions are taking place throughout the forum. It is the duty of the moderation staff to ensure that the guidelines of the community are being adhered to, as well as to come up with and implement plans to make the forum better. The fact that a thread composed primarily of isolated rants and complaints is one of the most viewed is not something that we're interested in priding ourselves upon; that's stuff that people can get elsewhere. And while your cynicism may disagree, we're going to make a concerted effort to distance this community from the mentality that that sort of discourse is something that is encouraged or valued here. Appreciate that if you will, but we're doing what we believe will be most beneficial to this site. I realize that not everyone will agree with us and our actions, but that just comes with the territory.

I'm sorry, where exactly is this documented? And if you care to reread my reasoning for locking the thread in question, you'll clearly see that there was no intention of 'censorship and over-protectiveness.' Scoff if you will, but it is indeed about 'quality assurance.' There's no reason to flaunt a collage of negativity on our message board when many of those opinions can fit seamlessly into substantiative and intellectual discussions already taking place. Just as one generally doesn't enjoy associating with individuals who constantly exude an air of negativity, none of us want to operate, read, or participate in a forum where entire discussions are founded entirely upon the concept of impulsively expressing displeasure.

The Official Off-Season Vent Thread
brewers19 replied to twobrewers's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'd rather not have a thread that's nothing more than a collection of negative comments and impulsive remarks, as well as being something that encourages people to do nothing more than complain. If one truly feels that strongly opposed to something, it's preferable that they formulate a well thought out argument that contributes to discussion in an already existing thread or stimulates discussion in a new thread of its own. -
Some sort of underground film type thing, I'm assuming.
-
Better the fibula than the tibia, as it doesn't bear any of the body's weight.
-
For what it's worth, I never claimed that it was supposed to make any sense.
-
www.thisismymilwaukee.com/ A slightly dated and unconventional approach, yet very informative nonetheless.
-
I have no idea who you're talking about. Anyways, I'm pretty sure the reason that people are concerned that our ace pitcher, coming off a torn ACL, will be pitching full effort in games that have no benefit to this organization. The risk far outweighs any benefit of increased publicity.
-
And to top it all off, the arbitrary Hitler-esque thread closing.
-
You seem a little too good at that.

Dibs on flame wars.
