    I think that trading him in the off-season would severely lower his trade value. I'm all for the proposed deal with Portland or the deal for Wally with Cleveland. Should help Joe Alexander's development too.

    I like it, when you're minor league hockey you have to do crazy things or no one is going to pay attention to you. And coincidentally, I think they are targeting 14 year old boys with the whole DARE graduates thing.

    Does anyone else find it ironic that Sheets pitched 198.1 superb innings last year and is labeled as a guy that never pitched enough, yet people point to Looper's 199 IP last year and say we need those kind of inning eaters? I didn't even realize it that Sheets led the team in IP last year. He's definitely been hurt, but he did far more good for the team last year than harm. This newest injury is obviously a very bad development for Sheets, but I will always remember his time with Milwaukee fondly.

    Just FYI Yahoo's Fantasy Baseball 09' is now up and running.

    I think that we're all on the same page on this one. The first half was pure gold, and the second half was mediocre. The fire scene and CPR training in particular were outstanding.

    Stanley was this episode's star in my opinion. His scene plus the LOTR scene directly following were the only parts that made me laugh out loud.

    Couple of thoughts (spoiler alert for those that aren't caught up) I think that Locke getting shot by the plane corresponds to the time that he was in that same spot with Boone and was suddenly unable to walk. Like they say, you can't change what happened, so if Locke was in the same period of time he needed to be unable to walk. Also, I bet Locke isn't actually dead and that he's unconscious due to a Medusa spider bite like we witnessed during the infamous Nikki and Paulo episode.

    Bumped because the greatest show on television is coming back tomorrow! For those that stopped watching during season 3, it got better again and I would place season 4 only a tad below season 1 in awesomeness. I really feel like they know what they're doing now that there's a set end date.

    I don't think that this is correct. What RoCoBrewfan is saying is spot-on. It will take a larger person longer to get to a .08 than a smaller person, but research has shown the effects that alcohol are the same at .08 for someone 100 lbs versus someone 300 lbs. With experience being intoxicated and concentration people learn how to hide their impairments more, but the effects on reaction time and hand eye coordination are the same. This may help clarify, here's the equation for estimating BAC: # of grams of ethanol in your system / [(your weight (lbs) x 454 g/lb) x Widmark's constant] For males Widmark's constant =0.68 For females it is 0.55 The difference is due to differences in water content and fat tissue in the body between the genders. The body metabolizes 7 grams of ethanol per hour on average, so you can subtract from the total number of grams of ethanol in your system with time. As RoCoBrewfan pointed out, the research shows that skills start to diminish at .05 so really the law is already pretty lenient towards people driving with alcohol in their system. In my opinion, the laws should be getting stricter if anything, not easier for people to drink and drive.

    I am not sympathetic towards the players very often since they make a lot of money to play a game many would play for free, but the case of Juan Cruz has me questioning whether the current ranking system is fair to the players. Juan Cruz would certainly be a sought after free agent if he was not considered a Type A free agent. Melvin outright said that the team would be interested in him if they would not lose 2 high draft picks. How is the players union ok with this? It seems like this label that gets placed on them can have a very large affect on their market value.

    http://www.officetally.com/the-office-non-spin-off It seems like some details are finally coming out for this show. To some up this link, it's not a spin-off, but has some of the same writers and will be shot in a similar format. And Rashida Jones will be on the show. The premise sounds promising with Amy Poehler being in charge of a Parks and Rec department. I love The Office, so I'll surely be giving this show a try.

    I'm going to have to disagree with you sheetswannabe. I always thought that Shia was a terrible actor, and then he became my least favorite actor ever when he destroyed the Indiana Jones movie. The monkeys swinging through the trees scene still makes me shiver. My list: Good -Slumdog Millionaire -Dark Knight -Ironman Neutral -Quantum of Solace -Cloverfield -Get Smart Bad -Indiana Jones 4 You can probably guess from my avatar how much it pains me to write that

    Actually, I believe the breathalyzer is only used to determine if they are going to take you in for a blood test. According to one of my professors, breathalyzer evidence can't be used in court because they are not always cleaned properly in between uses which makes the accuracy of the readings questionable. It's the blood test that is considered the conclusive evidence. They have calculations to determine what your blood alcohol level would have been at the time the car was pulled over, so it's not like Barkley was able to "sober up" while they took him to the station. I believe that my professor said that the case is thrown out if the breathalyzer is brought up by the prosecuting attorney. If the defendant brings up the breathalyzer, it's fair game for the prosecution to talk about the breathalyzer test. That said, I think your approach twobrewers is the best one. People aren't going to be able to "beat the system". The only way to stay out of trouble and more importantly not hurt anyone is to just not drive after drinking.

    Is the show not back on until February? I'm in the contingent that thinks the season started slow, but the last four episodes or so have been classic.

    cologne scented dryer sheets and market them to the college aged guys and young bachelors seriously, how hard would this be to sell? Look at the axe commercials, you just have to convince that demographic that the product will make them irresistible and it sells...this is coming from someone that falls in that age-range.

    http://www.google.com/search2001.html Apparently, it's Google's 10th birthday, and they're allowing people to use their original index (from January 2001). I thought it was fun to see what all wasn't around back then. It's just crazy to think how far technology has gone in such a short period of time.

    I used to be firmly against the idea of Hardy moving to third because his above average offense at SS becomes average at 3B. The more I think of it, though, the Brewers already have plenty of slugging, which is what a 3B traditionally supplies. Plus, like others have said, the idea of Hardy and Escobar playing that of the infield together is tantalizing. Hardy's weakness at defense is range which isn't as important at 3B. And he definitely has the arm strength for it. Let's see it happen.

    After that missed double-play ball in the Cubs game late in the year I told myself that I would never defend Weeks again. Cooler heads have prevailed, and I'm jumping on this bandwagon. Mr. Weeks was second on the team in OBP after the All-Star break (Prince's ridiculous 2nd half beat Rickie out) with an OBP of .378 I agree that Weeks seems "in the mold" of a Brandon Phillips and still has the potential to become an above average player. If we traded him now, we'd get very little. The risk/reward just screams keep him. People are very down on Rickie because his faults (errors and strikeouts) are very visible while other infielder's faults, such as Counsell, is getting out 77.4% of the time, albeit without striking out. Lastly, the financial obligation for Weeks isn't that great. Sure, he makes more than someone his age normally would, but his salary this year was still just a little over $1 million. You can't tell me that Weeks at $1 million was more of a problem than Gagne at $10 million. As long as he's still on that rookie contract, he's going to be cheap compared to the alternatives.

    I was actually able to find someone to run to Miller Park for me, so if anyone else can't get their and wants bfishman's parking don't feel like you're taking it from me.

    Does anyone by chance have parking passes for the Saturday game that they'd be willing to sell? I'd like two, but will take one if I can get it.
