    I don't have too much time to get into this, but the views of Selig on this site are far and away from the norm from across the country. Many fans and writers are completely against Selig and all he stands for. They might concede that the wild-card playoffs is okay, but for the most part, the 1994 strike did him in and many can't see past that. I like the guy. I understand why the strike occurred. But far too many people in this country that aren't from Wisconsin and/or aren't Brewers fans are 180-degrees from us in the view of Bud Selig. Sadly, they use the strike and the "problems" with free-agency/salary escalation as their pulpit and they pretty much refuse to budge. Amazingly, Bud Selig will likely be enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York before you know it. Just wait until the arguing by the national pundits begins for that one.

    Gonzaga has played pretty fast tonight and hit alot of shots. Badgers seem to be jacking up shots that are just hideous.

    little first grade students who think the sign outside our building says, "Welcome to Cerbat Elementary DoWhatchaWant School!" Oh, and their parents who let said student do this at home, too. And then they tell us, "You just don't know how to handle him/her." When you ask them to teach you what we should do since we "don't know how to handle him/her," they then respond with ludacracy like, "Heck if I know," or just change the subject.

    I have a standard slingbox (not HD) and it works fantastically over DSL. The set-up is a breeze and it works really well while I'm on the road. The only problem I have had was a few times I could not connect to it. But I later found out that it was because the power went out and my network was down. When the power came back up, I still couldn't connect because the slingbox couldn't re-connect with the network. I had to wait until I was back at home to manually connect it. I really haven't used it as much as I thought that I would, but it's a nice option to have for those times that I do want to watch TV on the road.

    Oh, geez, AMEN to that! Our back door neighbors kitty-corner to us have a little yippy dog that wakes us up every Saturday and Sunday morning at 7:00am or so with his yippy shrilly barks and the neighbors just let him bark. I've resorted to ear plugs so I can actually sleep in a bit on a weekend for once.

    yeah, I, too, thought when Oscar was brought in that he was going to "man up" and tell the board some of the things he was saying in Scranton or to Andy in the audience regarding the company "wasting" money. Then, the Board of Directors would listen and use that as part of Michael's 45-day plan. Oh, wait. Then that would be TOOOOO unbelievable, since there is no way that a real-world company's Board of Directors would get rid of money-wasting things. Overall, it was a solid episode. Not entirely funny but pretty okay. I loved Jim throwing Ryan into a closet to do his work to get his point across. It's the kind of thing that I would definitely do as well.

    If only Sheets could have won a few more games in '04 . . . .

    I know that everyone here is talking Badger or Warriors, er, Golden Eagles. But I just wanted to say that it was refreshingly different eating breakfast this morning and being able to watch some college hoops. So what if it was Niagra vs. Drexel. It was way better than Sportscenter replays or something else. They should do this more often.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't most free-agent pitcher about "that age?" Since they can't be free-agent until after 6 years in the bigs, and many pitchers reach the big at age 24, on average, then wouldn't most (note: I didn't say all) free-agent pitchers be, on average, 30 years old (or older, with a sprinkling of younger ones)? With that said, 31 years old for Lackey is not all that bad. Plus, look at all the top-notch pitchers that have continued to pitch well into their mid-30s. Yes, he has an injury history but he's the best there is this season in a very weak free-agent market. Next year is supposedly a much better year for free-agency. But won't that also mean that the big-market teams will be gobbling up those players even faster with even bigger offers that Milwaukee won't be able to top? I fear that the 2010 free-agency period (next November thru January) is going to be rough for the Brewers to get any of those bigger-named free-agents because of this. I hope that I am wrong. On topic, I'm pretty glad that they got rid of Looper, too. He was servicable but he just allowed too many long balls, in my opinion. And offered them up in the most inopportune times (I still can't believe he gave up that big lead in Florida back in June.) I think we all knew he was going to be average at best but more likely mediocre; and that's what we got. I've heard he's a heck of a guy, though so I hope that everything works out for him. I'm sure he will land a job. Whether it is Kansas City or Pittsburgh is the question. But don't be surprised if he were to return to St. Louis in one way or another.

    well, Entertainment Weekly gave it a solid "C", so I guess it will be half as good as the original. I'm not sure if I'm going to check it out or not. Why do they always have to remake things that were so brilliant the first time around? I'm surprised some brash director hasn't come out and said they were going to remake "Gone With the Wind" or something.

    okay, for $40 I'd be interested. Send me a PM with the information that you need.
  12. pitchleague
    This is interesting, to say the least. I would not be opposed to it.
  13. pitchleague
    Okay, well that was about how long it took to play PTP in the hey-day. I'll do it if I'm selected.

    I have not seen it in my neck of the woods of Arizona yet. I got my regular flu shot back in September and it must've been some potent stuff (or my antibodies really did their job) because this has been the healthiest autumn that I can remember since college. And that's saying a lot considering I work with young kids every day. I would venture a guess that I will get the H1N1 when it does show up in town.

    It certainly sounds interesting. I played Pursue the Pennant for many years so this sounds very intriguing. Do you have a "guesstimate" of how long it takes to play one game? If it's not too horribly long to play one game, I would be interested in giving you some feedback on the game.

    I kind of liked the ivy. That's too bad. I wonder if they got rid of it because of (a) not good enough growing, (2) Decided they didn't want to be like the Cubs, (3) Grounds crew didn't want to do any extra watering anymore, or (4) the roots and vines were beginning to cause structural damage to the stadium.

    I was in Walmart today and saw "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition." I didn't know this was coming out. I played the original on my brothers PS2 this summer. Anybody know if this is the same game or a different game? The cover is way different than the original, as are many of the photos on the box. (this was for PC by the way.) I've done a bit of looking but I only find system requirements when doing a search for the game online. I'm sure I'm not looking in the right place. Anyways, for $40 I think I'll pass completely. For $20 or less, I could probably pick it up sometime, unless it's the same game.

    Guerrero can still play RF, but with his injuries, he is probably more suited to just being a DH from here on out. That makes his likely destination an American League team, the Angels or otherwise.

    Pretty sucky way to end the 2009 season. Okay, Doug Melvin and company! Get to work, boys!
  20. pitchleague
    I saw Syracuse lost to a D-II school last night. Nice.
  21. pitchleague
    hmm, I may have to bid on that. $960 for that package is great for those of us outside of the Wisconsin area like me.

    my guess is that there was an issue with copyright infringement so they didn't use that line by Ron. Yes, it was funnier than the "squirts" line.
  23. pitchleague
    what "funeral" music are you speaking of?
  24. pitchleague
    Holy banana sandwiches! $500.00 for a mask?!?!? I haven't bought a rubber mask since I was a kid, some 20 years ago. Have they really become that expensive?? Or is it because it's a silicone mask? Wow, I had no idea masks were that expensive now a days.

    does the earlier start times for WS games that Bud declared would happen this summer begin with this year's series or next? Based on hawing's times, I'm guessing this year but I don't really recall when they have started in the past.
