    I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with the letter 'B'.

    Probably the same reason that they can do DNA tests in 30 minutes and somehow magically increase the resolution of digital photos enough for a gas station security camera to read someone's name tag from across the street.

    Hypothetically, I could create my own secret forum where I rapidly and constantly make blank posts in order to unscrupulously inflate my post count.

    It's already been mentioned here, so we may as well continue discussion there.

    I can't remember the last time I had a breakfast that didn't consist of Raisin Bran, applesauce, orange juice, and a glass of milk.

    That's a pretty damn insensitive thing to say. Someone died under unfortunate circumstances at a fairly young age, how is that not a shame and terrible news? If it was an accident, then it's tragic. If it wasn't an accident, it's still tragic because something drove him to it and he didn't get the help he needed before it was too late. I fail to see how this is anything but a very saddening occurrence.

    Has anyone heard anything about Talkin' Brewers yet? The Brewers Radio Network site redirects to Sports Bubbler, which isn't the least bit helpful.

    I don't think I've seen a dumber cell phone commercial than the one where the guy is trying to find out which phone he should get, and the store employee is giving him suggestions. He works out, therefore he should get one that plays music. On the other hand he likes photography, so maybe he should get a camera phone! It's just bafflingly stupid.

    Can anyone enlighten me as to what that logo (along the sidelines at the 50) on the Patriot's field is supposed to be? The gray thing with the bit of yellow sticking off?

    NBC feels the need to show Notre Dame vs. Duke, as opposed to any teams that are actually worth watching.

    Not yet. Eventually LambeauLeap will be brought to Yuku and you will be able to.

    My guess is that they have some one lined up to be the STL GM, and is onboard with LaRussa Possibly. But even if that is the case, why not wait until the new GM is officially aboard before announcing the LaRussa's deal? There may be a good reason for this course of action, but right now it just gives the impression that they care more about who their manager is than who their GM is. I don't get it.
  16. brewers19
    So whoever gets the GM job doesn't get to choose their own manager? Seems kinda odd.

    Would you rather: Watch a game entirely narrated by Scooter, the talking baseball. - or - Watch a game with Tim McCarver (and Joe Buck) providing commentary.

    This reminds of when Rich Dauer was let go. I seem to recall Dauer being let go because he and Ned didn't really get along with each other.

    People who hold in their sneezes. It's irritating to listen to, it could seriously mess up your sinuses and/or blow a hole in your eardrum, and it negates the purpose of sneezes. Yet people still think it's a good idea for some reason.

    Discuss complete playoff results in this thread.

    Doesn't appear so.

    Here. You can navigate to it by clicking on the 'Milwaukee Brewers' button on the left side of the main page and the 'Salaries' link will be just at the top.

    No one has made a claim anything remotely close to this. But it goes to show that there are fairly distinct differences in production in areas outside of Ned's control; which suggests that a fair amount of the blame for the underachievement on the road falls on the players.

    the results though are pretty compelling. But if there is no proven and coherent causal relationship, the primary origin of the results is nothing more than speculation. There can be any number of reasons why the team plays better at home (fan energy, familiar park, no travel, better food, whatever), but there is just as little evidence for each of these as there is for it being Ned's fault. Here are the splits: AVG OBP SLG OPS OPS+ HOME .271 .340 .477 .817 110 ROAD .256 .320 .437 .757 102 Blaming a 15 point difference in batting average, 20 in on-base, and 40 in slugging solely on the way Ned manages seems just a little fallacious.

    The fact remains Ned has performed poorly on the road and in the second half of the season. The thing is, I'm not convinced on the fact that this is Ned's fault. There are 25 guys who go out there and play the game everyday, and yet one is expected to believe that an uneven home/road record is the fault of the guy who fills out the lineup card and makes in-game substitutions? It may be the case, but I have yet to see any sort evidence supporting it. As far as I'm concerned right now, it's not a causal relationship. The first/second half thing may have a little more merit, as the manager is responsible for administering the workouts and conditioning of the players; which may ultimately play a role in the later portions of the season. But even considering this, I don't believe the manager to be a highly significant influence.
