  1. I cant wait till a golfer wears it.
  2. I dont like Dunn. I want a guy in the lineup that will be able to sac fly that runner on 3rd with 1 out. Dunn would strike out more than he would fly out. Id pass.
  3. Used to love Phish till they played it on the radio once. Never listened to them again after that. Its funny - I think there were others who felt like I did cause they stopped playing it on the radio.
  4. 2 more to go. Gotta get it to build some momentum before Detroit and Minn. Come on Claudio. Sosa is nothing.
  5. Its not that I dont think Vargas can protect 3 runs.....its that I dont understand why we use another pitcher - much less a starter when the guy we had in the game was absolutly rolling.
  6. Why the need to make a pitching change? This makes no sense at all.
  7. I think that after tonight we might see a change although Bush was decent.
  8. I am not worried about it - we have a Star on the mound right now. He will bring us home.
  9. Billy is going to put this team on his back tonight.
  10. Come on CC - lets get a run home.
  11. Kruk is just jealous cause Braun is going to hit more HR than he did in his career in year 2. Its a game guys - let the kid have fun. He is an entertainer. Who cares if he is showboating. So do alot of greats. Rickey Henderson, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Big Mac, Canseco, Pete Rose. Vince Coleman, Ozzie Smith. Babe Ruth. The Say Hey Kid. The list goes forever. Let him play.
  12. Fair enough but after a 12 hour session I think you might decide otherwise. Played under the same circumstances, I would even consider Chess a sport. I dont know. I think that Doyle Brunson is best equipped to answer this question having been a star basketball player in his day as well. "I think there are so many things that are the same in sports and poker that you've got to link them together some way," said Brunson, a spokesperson for DoylesRoom.com. "You have to be a mental athlete to play. You have to have physical endurance. ... The last tournament I won (the No-Limit Six-Person Hold 'Em at last year's World Series of Poker), I played 18 hours one day, 16 hours the next day and 16 hours that last day. That's pretty tough. ... "You have to practice like we did in athletics. If I go several weeks without playing and I go back and play, I'm so rusty I make a lot of errors," said Brunson, a high-school state champion in the mile run and a basketball standout at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, who was ticketed for the NBA before his injury. "The best poker players have the sort of mental toughness and discipline that you see in top athletes" , he added. "OK, so some of the guys are out of shape," he added. "Let some of those guys that are in such good shape come and try to sit with us at a poker table. ... I'll bet you the pro athlete folds before the poker player does." Who knows - I dont really play much any longer cause my family life doesnt allow it. That said - this is a fun debate - kind of like the nascar debate and I am interested in hearnig your final verdict.
  13. Peavey - I respectfully disagree. With this team the Crew would have that 1-2 punch (Sheets/Willis)to dominate the playoffs. Perhaps you wouldnt even have to lose Sheets cause of the playoff Revenue. When your making your push this year with a pitching rotation of : Sheets Willis Suppan Capuano Vargas And your Pen is CL CoCo SU - Carlos Villanueva SU - Sarfate RP - Wise RP - Gallardo RP - Shouse RP - Dave Bush Your lineup is OF Hart/Gwynn SS Hardy 3b Cabrera 1b Fielder CF Hall C Estrada/Miller OF Jenks/Mench 2b Counsell/ Graffy I dont know - its not even a real rumor, just something I made up. But to me it would be an unbelievable opportunity to win a World Series now and build a dynasty if the revenue really started rolling in. Willis and Prince would be some really marketable faces and I would put that lineup top to bottom right there next to the Yankees. That rotation would be better than any in the Majors.
  14. It requires massive concentration and stamina when your entering these big tournaments. Dicipline, guts, competition. Yes, I think its a sport.
  15. But you are essentially replacing Ben Sheets with Dontrelle Willis. Then after the season you can offer Benny up to the highest bidder - likely a team in NY or Cali. I love Weeks, but Vinny is mashing and can play 2nd base just fine. Add in Hernan Iribarren(sp) and Yohannis Perez(who I think would be just fine at 2b) and I think we are pretty decent there even without Weeks. And who knows what you get for Ben Sheets? If you offered him to NYY, there is a good chance you might get Robinson Cano and a high prospect. Change can be good.
  16. Probably a long shot - Why would the Marlins want to get rid or either, but it would really help them keep costs down and I think the Crew could find another 2nd baseman if need be. For this season alone, I think Counsellnino might be able to get it done
  17. Woudl you move Weeks, Braun, and Turnbow for Dontrelle Willis and Miggy Cabrera? I know they have Uggla, but Weeks could be moved to CF.
  18. Cause he can hit. he was drafted cause he has a heck of a bat along with an amazingly strong and accurate arm. He has real nice wheels. He was a 5 tool guy and by moving him to pitcher your talking about taking away a few of his tools - defense, speed, arm.
  19. I am putting my South Milwaukee house on the market to move up north a bit. I am curious if it is allowed for me to tell the realtor that puts my house on the market that I would like the opportunity to find my own buyer, and if I do that I only pay a certain % of commission. I would plan to put up flyers here at work or perhaps among friends or maybe even on Craigslist. Does anyone have any experience negotiating with a sellers agent? Is this something that is allowed?
  20. Are you forgetting James and Lyle Mouton?
  21. Dennis Sarfate - I believe he is the closer of the future. He has begun to put it together as of late, but is still giving up almost a hit per inning. Id like to see him get the call for the pen before Yo.
  22. It would be nice to see the Brewers go after a guy with his kind of talent. I do think that I would try and convert him to Right Field before I convert him to a pitcher.
  23. Is that from Starwars?
  24. Just go punch the guy in the kisser. Then tell him that he is now allowed to park in the handicapped spot until he shakes the cobwebs.
