and now we're beginning to get into the shady area of calling out members/condescension. Please knock it off and get back on topic. Thank you. -
does that mean there are secret, hidden, and invisible names on there? If so, that's awesome!
-
Nice start, indeed.

I looked at the link and it didn't really state much about where the revenues came from so, I don't know about the Tigers, but I gotta think that the revenue from the YES Network is not on that total. So I would think that the Yankees would be back in the black after making a killing on their TV deal.

I think it'd be cool if two GMs would concoct a plan to trade an all-star player in the middle of the all star game. They put the plan in motion a week before the game, including having a new uniform at the ready, and then, after a couple of innings they announce the deal and the player goes and changes uniforms. Would be awesome if it was a guy in the starting lineup. Will never happen but it'd be neat.

that last sentence of that obit stands out to me. I think that's just stinkin' great. And I mean it, too--no blue font necessary. However, I wish all of his contributions were like this by him and all famous people. I just don't think it's "all about the kids/charity/whatever" if you're putting your name on the side of a building that you paid for. Sure, give the money but do it anonymously. Or if you absolutely need your name posted someplace, do it on the memorial bronze plaque that is usually in the lobby of these places along with the builders, contractors, planners, and board members. I shouldn't need to see your name from the interstate.

amazing to think that, prior to tonight, the last time the NL won the All-Star Game I was finishing up college. Pretty much a rolling-eyes (and wrists) ASG for the Brewers: 0-4, 3 K, 1 GDP, 1 DNP.

so are all video tapes that FOX plays muffled in HD on anyone else's TV or is just my local affiliate? My standard def works fine, and the live stuff in HD is fine. Just anything recorded and played back is completely muffled. For instance, the entire opening bit and the allstars among us tribute video was so muffled we couldn't understand a word of it. I like that some of the players handled the boos with laughs. Some didn't look pleased, though.

no wonder the bat got so heavy for him in round 2

For the record, while Jackson's heroics was, indeed, in the '77 Fall Classic, Chambliss hit his blast to end the 1976 ALCS against the Royals. If ratings and general interest for a KC/Milwaukee World Series is a concern of folks, what's the point of having those teams? We might as well contract half the teams in the MLB since nobody cares to watch them outside their own market. As for myself, I didn't care too much for the guy. If he gave money to charity and children's hospitals and such, that's great. If he did it just to put his name on the side of the building, then that's just conceited. I, too, grew up during the Yankee hey-day years of the Reggie years and it was kind of like today--you just get sick of the Yankees. But every league needs it's villains (Dallas Cowboys, LeBron, Detroit Red Wings?) To me, it makes it that much sweeter when they lose. RIP George.

I'll second this. I had no idea either. I figured it was your friends pouring cups of ice down the backs of peoples shirts while they're on the dance floor or something.

it's threads like these that make me appreciate living in AZ more and more. Yeah, we have to bear temperatures resembling those on planet Mercury, but at least I'm not full of itchy red welts!

2010-07-12 Homerun Derby, 7:00 PM CDT
pitchleague replied to pretendastronaut's topic in Archived Game Threads
it's certainly not full of big-time big contract boomers that can hit 'em 550-ft. Maybe 475 ft. tops. I'll predict tonight's winner will have a total (all rounds combined) of less than 30 HRs. Round-by-Round, I'd go: NL Participants 1. Corey Hart, MIL 7 (Hart advances in a swing-off) 2. Matt Holliday, STL 7 3. Hanley Ramirez, FLA 9 4. Chris Young, ARI 4 AL Participants 1. Miguel Cabrera, DET 6 2. David Ortiz, BOS 11 3. Nick Swisher, NYY 6 4. Vernon Wells, TOR 8 2nd round Ortiz 7 Wells 4 Ramirez 7 Hart 3 Finals Ramirez 6 Ortiz 5 -
not to mention the fact that Melvin loves to pick up former Texas Rangers players and farmhands, so you'll feel right at home! Welcome to the site! Wonderful first few posts!

New Scoreboard update for Miller Park in 2011
pitchleague replied to adamb100's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
yeah, it looks great in conceptual drawings and mockups but if it's anything like the HD board at Chase Field, it'll get annoying real fast. Just too much information on the thing that it takes you a minute to read it all and then you've missed 2-3 pitches. Sure it's great for replays and stuff but otherwise it's a great big distraction. Give me simple any day. I'm there to watch the game. I agree with OWBC. How will it put up with being pummeled in batting practice every day? The one in Phoenix rarely gets hit because it's so high up but doesn't the current board in Milwaukee get hit a bunch of times every BP session? I don't get up there often enough to know the answer to that. -
Geoff Jenkins to officially retire as a Milwaukee Brewer.
pitchleague replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I think it would be awesome if he took the ball for the first pitch and trot out to the mound but then sprint out to left (or right) field and gun one to the plate for the first "pitch." -
Laptop Recommendations for Senior Citizens
pitchleague replied to Point Beer Is Best's topic in Off-Topic Forum
you could always get yourself a new laptop and give your parents your old one that you are very familiar with as it is. A bit off topic, but with all this Mac talk the only question I have is: how well does it play PC games? I know that some games come out with Mac versions but not many. I'm guessing that Mac's are not intended for gamers at all. -
I honestly believe that his home woahs will be solvvd once they put the ivy back in the batter's eye instead of that bland blah black paint job.
-
we had an old team in our Diamond Mind league called the Cincinnati River Rats.
-
yeah, the game is just so much faster at the majors compared to even AAA. I'm not surprised in the slightest that Escobar and Castro have struggled in their first year of regular MLB work. Plus, they need time to learn the subtle nuances of each individual infield surface and time to learn an infield camaraderie with his third, first and, especially, second baseman.
-
yeah, I know. A $20 betting slip that, if it hits guarantees me tickets to the game (that I have to purchase)? Sign me up. Oh, yeah. I have season tickets already. But still, I think this is a great idea for Joe EverydayFan.
-
so does that mean Prince doesn't get to defend his HR Derby crown? or does he get invited to that even though he's not an all-star?
-
to be honest, the prices are actually pretty reasonable. $20 for the World Series? Sure some may object to the idea but as a consumer this is really no different from me going to a sports book and laying down $20 on the Brewers to win the division, etc. Except my winnings would be the allowance to spend more money on tickets. I didn't read the official rules. What happens if 100,000 people pay the $20 for World Series game 1 and the team makes it? Sorry to say, there are no 100,000 seat stadiums in MLB.

does Spiderman clean up after himself? I mean, if the guy is slinging webs strings all over the buildings as he swings around the sky scrapers and releases the old one when he shoots a new one, I've got to think that New York City has got to be full of giant stick spider webs hanging off the buildings. Unless, they're bio-degradable.
-
yeah, I forgot to post in this thread this afternoon. I know several are being sarcastic and I have no problem with this, but you gotta start somewhere. So the Brewers stunk it up for the final games to finish the month at only 14-13. Maybe it'll be psychological and the players will pull their heads out their butts now that they have had a winning month. I'm not saying they'll play .650 ball the rest of the way but a winning month is at least a start.
