Switching gears just a little bit here, they only drafted four shortstops in 40 rounds. Really? The first one drafted, is already expected to move off of there, which is okay in this situation, I like that pick a lot. Outside of your elite centerfielders that's the best athlete in the field more times than not. The Brewers should be drafting as many shortstops as they can in my opinion, unless they find elite potential talent at a different position. I don't understand this group's drafting strategy....that does assume they have one.

My favorite is Eight Men Out. Terrifically done. I also will watch Mr. Baseball every time it was on, Selleck was great and, IMO, very believable as an aging, slugging firstbaseman.

Outstanding maturity. I hope you or no one you care about is never a victim (or perpetrator) of a DUI-caused death.

Some of the "oh well" reactions to DUIs in this thread are mind-boggling. So if Yo, instead of getting behind the wheel of a car, walked out of the tavern, pulled out a pistol and fired a shot in any general direction, would the attitudes be the same I wonder? I ask, because it's the same darn thing, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Frankly drunk driving is worse, because not only are you putting someone else's life at risk, it's likely multiple people and yourself to boot.

...and this same argument about contending next year between the same group of posters has leaked here now why? Repeating the same arguments ad nauseam is fruitless, boring and tedious.

I echo what TC07 said about AWD. I personally would never buy a FWD car, they don't handle nearly as well on average (there are exceptions, obviously) because you're asking the same two wheels that direct the car to also power it. The physics just don't work as well. If inclement weather weren't a problem, I'd recommend a RWD car as you'll get better mileage, but since I know you're in Wisconsin, I'd say AWD all day.

Mini's don't really have a remarkable upkeep record good or bad. They're nice vehicles, but they are a bit rare when compared to the big three US automakers and Toyota and Honda, so the added "scarcity" makes them a tad bit more to maintain, but not to the point it would keep me from buying one. I, for one, think they're cool, fun cars.

My father sells cars for a living, let me tell you guys something about CarFaxes. Don't rely on them, they're not the end all, be all of what cars are good or not. CarFax can only be accurate IF everything that goes wrong with a car is reported to them. Insurance companies will definitely report, but think of all the messed up things that can happen to a car that insurance companies never get involved in. If you're working with a dealer, find out if the salesman has been in the business long. If they've been in it for a long time, chances are you're dealing with someone you can relatively trust. The men and women that screw people over don't last long because they don't get repeat customers or referrals. You're always going to be better off in the long run buying a car from a dealership that certifies its used cars than going the Craigslist or Ebay route, unless you are a mechanic or know one that will look the car over for you. As far as why the price is differing on the "same" vehicle....it could be a multitude of reasons, one has been in inventory longer than the other, one was worked harder on the trade-in than the other, one was a trade-in, one was bought at auction, etc. It's not necessarily a factor of pricing one higher to price it higher. Are both vehicles certified used? Have you really listened hard to both vehicles run? Looked the car over from head to toe? You need to do those things. Edit: Also, when you have an opportunity, go to a smaller community to do business if you can. Reputations are very important to any serious salespeople, but even moreso in a small town.

Milwaukee: Easter Sunday 1987 Any team: October 8th, 1919 - this is the game most believed the Black Sox didn't throw where the dirty players "rebelled." I'm fascinated by their story and would've liked to see Shoeless Joe play.

I've been hit in the left elbow (RH hitter) by a 91 mph fastball. It hurts, but what was worse was losing the feeling in my hand, it didn't feel normal for about two weeks. You could clearly see the seams of the ball on my elbow though, which was cool. Then in playing major men's fastpitch softball, I was hit with a low-eighties mph drop ball in the right shin following a home run. That happened in 1998. I have permanent nerve damage and it still doesn't look "normal."

Thank you all...Mo's is sounding like the place to go right now.

You stating that her posting the photos is a bad thing is now bugging me.

http://www.benwahrlebaseballparks.com/longest-home-runs.html I was in attendance for Adam Dunn's bomb. Was sitting with three of my friends to the third base side of home plate and had the perfect angle to admire it. It was funny because all four of us in near unison said, "Holy cow!" (well, words to that effect) I swear I heard the ball cry out when he hit it.

I have tickets for a concert at the Riverside and am looking for a good place to eat near the venue (think date here) and also advice on parking for the event. Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ariel Speedwagon....write that down.

Yeah he told the kid they were gonna send his parents back to their seats. He said the kid should stay in the booth and drink some Miller Lites and eat hot dogs. Something along those lines. Had it on in the car and he had me rolling at that line. Yeah, the Miller Lite line was classic! Co-workers were staring at me strangely from outside my office door when I was laughing at that one. Also, he didn't offer the kid to play second he offered him to be second base. "Yeah, just lay in the dirt for three hours...whaddya think?" God bless Ueck, he should have his own wing in Cooperstown.
