two things I giggle about every time I hear it: 1) the "crowd" of "fans" that MLB is probably paying to sit there and clap in-between picks. Most of them are scouts, team employees, and the like. 2) everytime Jon Hart mentions that a player has a "good body." Kinda creepy as well as goofy.

correct me if I'm wrong, but these player suspensions are with pay? I can't see professional sports players having to do the same thing as regular people that get suspended at work (i.e. no pay). He did bump hat brims with the ump, too, so I'm not surprised at all. But I agree that he did a lot of complaining in Atlanta. Maybe if he swung the bat a little more often on those pitches in the zone he wouldn't have to worry about the vacation.

I know I was a bit skeptical of KOTOR when my brother first got it. He tried to show it to me and I was "yawn" about it. Then, a couple of years later, I borrowed it to try it out since I had heard so many good things about it. Once I started, I didn't put it down pretty much for 3 weeks. It was a great game, probably one of the best I've ever played. I actually am excited to replay it sometime and I hardly ever replay games once I finish them. Funny thing is, my brother never got very far into the game the first time. Then, after I did finish it, I returned it to him and told him "YOU HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME!" since he's a bigger SW fan than I am. Alas, he got stuck about 1/8th of the way in and hasn't touched it since.

Interesting decision by Zambrano but, believe it or not, it's one that I can respect; if he's being honest and holds up his end of the bargain, of course. I never really liked the guy but he's a heck of a pitcher at times. It takes some guts to come out in public and tell people this. I wish I was able to say something like this, but alas, that won't be happening for quite a long time. At least I'm not missing Mother's Day and the like.

My problem has always been "how much of the new content am I even seeing if everything is always changing in this ever-changing universe known as XXXX MMORPG?" No problem with the fees. It's the cheating (although you see that more in shooters than MMORPGs) and, during the school year, the lack of time that keeps me from playing multiplayer games. Still, I loved the first KOTOR and have to play KOTOR II (soon, I hope!). So I could see me playing this one. Of course, it might be another Star Wars Galaxies, which I was super excited about but only played a demo of (and then read reviews and such and was turned off).

Oh. My. Goodness. Trailer This looks better than some of the movies!

I'm impressed that fans from outside the Brewers organization sees Milwaukee in this way, while those of us that follow the team probably would disagree with this statement. I appreciate the compliment, although I think we are far from an "everyone they bring up turns to gold" truth. Jake Fox may be a stud but he may be another Gary Scott. Same thing with Vitters. I like Alvarez of the Pirates but it's likely another year (or two?) that we'll have to worry about him. I really think Jay Bruce will be the real deal, but he's still young and has time to grow and mature as a hitter. Cueto I feel is a Tommy John surgery just waiting to happen. Colby Rasmus appears to be hitting the cover off the ball so he's probably somebody we'll have to worry about for the next 7 years. Houston has .....? Okay, nobody springs to mind for them. All-in-all, I think the central division has some pretty decent prospects. But everyone in baseball does.

I find it funny that the Nationals rating went up 55% but their rating is abysmal (0.53), which means it was just atrocious last year.

I shouted out to JP at Chase Field on Friday night during BP. He was up in the press box. Told him I missed him on the Brewers Radio. He gave me a thumbs up. I was really hoping he'd be on the field during BP so I could try to flag him down but no luck.

The world needs ditch-diggers, too! http://images.yuku.com/image/pjpeg/5d325d94169a7d82abec9ea32470e4e30737e96.pjpg

1980s- Robin Yount and Dale Murphy

my brother had the same type of trouble with this about a month or so ago. Apparently, his external hard drive was set up as a FAT file system (or something like that) and once he changed it in the external hard drive properties he had no problem. What he had to change it to? I have no idea but it's something along those lines. So, I gave you some good advice but it's semi-incomplete advice.

I would like a non-small sample size game to really see the effects of this thing. How about 5-6 Splash attacks in tomorrow's game? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I think I'll wait to see how the rest of May plays out first. I'll edit the post in 5 days. EDIT: Now that they finished off the month kinda hot, here are my picks: 4 @ FLA (3-1) 3 @ATL (1-2) 3 vs COL (3-0) 3 vs CWS (1-2) 3 @ CLE (3-0) 3 @ DET (1-2) 3 vs MIN (2-1) 3 vs SF (2-1) 2 vs NYM (0-2) A frustrating month of inability to prolong win streaks. Still, 16-11 would be great. My HR tie-breaker is: 11 HR

at least we didn't get beat in Minnesota on dink-and-dunk singles and drag bunt base hits all day long.

you could always go with dark sunglasses and a white cane and do all the looking you want.

I, literally, just finished teaching my last class of the school year. Yeah, I untuckem'd to celebrate a year on the job well done. Surprisingly, not one single person was offended by this. MUST be a St. Louis only thing. My field study proves it.

I have wondered how "live" these look-ins are, however. Every time they seem to do once, "something" happens in the game, as if it was "cued up" like BBTN Updates. Maybe it was just a coincidence, though, that this seems to occur. I only remember one time (that I've watched, at least) that a live look-in resulted in some balls/strikes/foul balls before the ball was put into play. Otherwise, yes, I love the MLB Network. I haven't watched BBTN once this season.

So, the Hurricane is now just a tropical depression? I agree, though. Swindle will be much more useful in a DH-situation than will the extra hitter on the bench. With no double-switches, an extra lefty for matchups will be useful against the Twins. Wonder what'll happen on Monday when it comes to roster moves.

Serves him right for swinging at strike three low and away on Sunday. Seriously, though, this definitely does strike a huge blow into our chances. But we have the players that can get it done and, perhaps, Doug can go out and find some more veteran presence for the infield. I have Weeks on one of my PITCH League teams as my franchise player. I kept him over Kelly Johnson two years ago because I believed in him. Then he starts off on fire and then DRAT!

is it 3 runs or 3 earned runs? I'm having a mind blank right now. If it's 3 runs, I can see it as a quality start. If it's 3 earned runs, I can not, since the score could be 8-1 because you gave up 5 unearned runs.

I thought there were rules in place regarding uniform changes have to be approved at least one year in advance. But I could be wrong.

1. Don't have a steady girlfriend during college. Not only do they suck up your free time, but they also cause you to feel "obligated" to be with her at lunch/dinner or take classes with her, etc. Not to mention, make you feel guilty when you come home from an activity (sports event, concert, bar-hopping, etc.) that she didn't want to do. 2. Go to class. I did miss a lot of classes and I semi-regret it. Although I ended up doing just fine in school, I probably would have saved myself a lot of time studying had I gone to class. 3. Join a club/activity/something. It doesn't have to be a frat (although I don't regret one moment of that), but it could be a choir if you like singing, a science club, help out with a sports team, or anything at all. 4. I don't know how many schools have a cafeteria anymore, but man that was some of the best food I've ever had. Keep in mind that I went to a small liberal arts college so there were only 2500 students, meaning the cafeteria was well funded. I still have about four recipes that I asked for after graduation that I will make once or twice a year for nostalgic reasons. 5. If you have the chance to do a study-abroad semester, try it out, if possible. Great times and a great experience. 6. Only pull out the video games when you are done with your work. Make that a LAW. 7. If you do get a roommate, make sure that YOU don't lie on your application that they use to match up people. My roommate freshman year stated he was a perfect angel, pretty much. First day I get there, he's a smoker (big trouble), big-time drinker (not that bad now, but I had never had a drink until I got to college), lazy (never went to class), and had to have his stomach pumped at least twice that I know of within the first month. When you get the nickname "Buckshot" changed to "Bloodshot" (due to all his blown capilaries in his eyes), you've got a problem. He was a match up of complete opposites. Totally killed my freshman year. I still remember the night that I went to study in the lounge, I told him I was going there, I told him I wasn't taking my keys, he said "okay", and an hour later I come back to the room and the door's locked and he's gone to the bars. Man, I just get mad thinking about him and his idiocy. Thank goodness he flunked out after that first year. I'm sure there are other things that I am forgetting, but these are good things that I can think of. As for number six, I suppose you could bend the law for Friday nights or something. I never had video games in my dorm until the final year of school when I got a hand-me-down Nintendo system (the original). I played a heck of a lot of Tecmo Bowl and RBI Baseball and I finally had to start putting it away in the closet so I would get some work done. Oh, and number one on my list happened to me. I totally regret the girlfriend thing. It ended up making college a major bummer a lot of the time. Didn't help that she broke it up right after college and I felt completely used. I felt like Sally at the end of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." ("I could have had candy, apples, and gum. And cookies, and money, and all sorts of things. But NO, I HAD to listen to you. What a fool I was.")
