  3. UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  4. he can get so many braun shirzeys for a grand to sell in the parking lot for $5 a piece
  5. as a 7 or 8 hitter that would be pretty great
  6. haha thank you thurston for taking the time I didnt want too responding to that
  7. Several ways. First, how excited do you think Free Agents are to sign with the Brewers and the Brain sideshow? Sure, money talks, but if things are close I don't think too many players WANT to be on the Brewers, they way they did for a few years now. Milwaukee was finally a viable destination, Fun clubhouse, nice park, starting to win. Not anymore. Ditto for current players. Will Segura or other players be billing to sign a long term deal now? Maybe, but I bet they're thinking twice. Braun will have effect on trades also. Very well he may already HAVE had an effect on trades at the deadline this year. Why? In business, you smell weakness. If you know there's turmoil going on in Milwaukee, you may not offer as much in return. That's what happens when you negotiate ina position of weakness. Finally, I think attendance will suffer. Some of you don't realize how upset a whole lot of Brewer fans are. Whther they should be this upset or not is irrelevant. They are, and that will translate to lower ticket sales. Especuilly coming off a losing season. Less revenue = less money to spend on the roster. Those are all tangible ways Braun's actions will have on wins and losses. Not to mention the intangibles of 24 other players having to deal with this circus all year. Thanks FVBrewerFan for making my case on why Braun will be traded regardless that they can't get equal talent back. The fact is he can't hide here. In a major market, he shares the headlines with others. Where would he end up? It would be ironic if he ended up in LA back with Zack and with Kemp. But it is home and as long as Braun doesn't marry a Kardashian, he's at least not the focus of the entire area, and the Dodgers have a bad contract they'd like to unload in Eithier too. Of course the Dodgers don't have room in the OF anyway, so maybe Anaheim for Hamilton to reunite with Narron makes more sense. The whole situation is absurd and it's all Braun's doing. He has a no trade clause, so... try again.

  9. totally man! I know im excited for this winter/next season already!
  10. no, I do question authority quiet a bit, but if it makes you feel better you can picture me in a lemming suit jumping off a cliff or something on a daily basis. But to the point, I wouldnt question a "supervisor" (why is that even in quotes?) over something as trivial as having to walk to another gate to get FREE MONEY.
  11. I didnt miss your point, I missed why it is any sort of a deal
  12. Hellweg, Jungmann AND Rogers? im excited to follow
  13. I am loving his play this month, hitting over .400 in August, TED WILLIAMS WATCH YOUR BACK!
  14. god forbid you had to walk an extra 100 yards to get free money
  15. cant wait for 40 more pages once Braun releases his written in crayon statement
  16. LOL some of you are taking this WAY to seriously.
  17. the QO will be quiet a bit less than what Lincecum is currently making ($22 million), I dont know if he'd take THAT big of a paycut... there will be someone out there probably willing to give him more years at a slightly higher average.
  18. I think its disgusting the amount of attention braun is getting for claiming this guy is antisemetic. how do we know he's not? ask him? who on this earth would EVER admit to be antisemetic?
  19. he'd probably use the anti-semite stuff with other jewish players when trying to gather their support. not that I believe it, but thats the only way that makes sense. Its seriously like every time something comes out to shift the focus more on to A-Rod SOMETHING ELSE comes out about Braun to reshift it back to him.
  20. it makes complete sense why Braun has not spoken out yet.
  21. wow, that is insane if its true. what a piece of trash
  22. Rickie is having surgery on his hammy, out 4 - 6 months.
  23. absolutely pick it up. Its only $1.5 million, and after next season let Aoki walk and determine at that time what to do with Gindl/Davis/Schafer in RF. Keep Gindl/Schafer on the bench, let Davis rake in AAA, and if its another lost season, trade Aoki away at the deadline.
  24. we've already got the comp pick between 1st and 2nd round, so if the brewers lost their 2nd rd pick for signing a player who recieved a QO, its a wash/end up with a higher signing pool with a "normal" number of draft picks. But you're still losing a pick. Just because you got one in the competitive balance lottery doesn't mean we should piss away a 2nd for a likely mediocre and expensive free agent. Like Loshe?
