Anyone know why MU is playing WV on a Friday night? Both teams kinda got hosed there. They both played last night - WV was at ND. Both then have to travel to WV and play a game tomorrow night? That just seems very, very odd. It's a game MU needs to win, WV is a tough place to play but MU is certainly the better team. WV has it's back against the wall though and is at home so this could be a dogfight.

I have a meeting at 10, that runs until 12 or 1 most likely. I'm really hoping to exit that meeting, come to BF and see much rejoycing that Braun won. Please let this happen!! -
Agreed. There was nobody that bats right handed they could have signed that is equally as medicore as Patterson and Gibbons?
-
Well it's now almost 5:00 EST and 2:00 Pacific....still waiting. After all the leadup this morning and the thoughts it was coming soon, I'm going to be disappointed if we don't know anything by the end of the day here. All the hype and buildup and the Matt V tweet could amount to absolutely nothing?
-
what makes you say that? MLB will NOT make an announcement if he is found not guilty. They will just proceed as normal. They may defend themselves or their process at some point but not right away. That means either Braun makes it or it gets leaked, if he is innocent that is.
-
Not much new on that, it seems like they just regurgatated a story the JS printed over a month ago. It says it was updated yesterday, but I see nothing of substance in there.
-
My impression wasn't really that MLB was going to make an announcement there, but that the reporters were instructed to go there by someone. And if MLB announces the suspension, they will all be there to get player reaction and whatnot.
-
I guess it's possible Braun is already there and just hasn't "reported" to camp yet. And perhaps his camp notified MLB Network or whomever to be there today. I guess if he was innocent, that is entirely possible that he would make the announcment. It just doesn't feel like it though. You're right Monty, it's all speculation and it's just so frustrating to wait. I know many of us (myself included) take the Brewers way too seriously and something like this just has so much riding on it and we just want it to be over and hopefully with the result we all want.
-
Yeah, I agree. We all probably thought he would wind up with the suspension, but I think many of us kinda got some hope with the fact that it was taking so long and all the rumors and comments about it seemed to indicate he might have a real shot to beat it. He still might, but I just feel poorly about it based on information received this morning.
-
Yeah, that's my thoughts really. Is that he's going to be suspended and that will be the breaking news. I can't see how MLB Network would know that Braun was planning on letting everyone know he was not guilty. If he is not guilty I would expect we hear about it through sources first, then he'll make a statement or schedule a press conference later that day or something. This to me seems like he's going to be suspended, MLB will announce it and all the media will be there to ask the Brewers and everyone else what they think about it. I guess the breaking news could be something other than Braun, but it doesn't seem like it. I feel bad.
-
I don't take this as a good sign really. If they know exactly when something is going to be announced as breaking news, to me that would seem to indicate he's being suspended. Hope I'm wrong.
-
I would love nothing more than to login here this afternon or later this morning and see joyous posts and links to a not guilty verdict. I hope for this every day and it's yet to happen. I'm starting to get a sinking feeling that it's never going to either.

Could brewers land lee? espn insider
brwrsfan replied to Brew City Baseball Fan's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
In an article on CNNSI today about guys being forced to retire, they discussed 10 current players that don't want to retire but may be forced to because nobody wants them, or nobody wants them at a pay level or playing time level they are comfortable with. One of them was Lee. In the article, it states that the Brewers contacted Lee to come in and share time with Gamel at 1b. Lee apparently wasn't interested in a part time role. And yes, he's still sitting at home with no job. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/tom_verducci/02/21/aging.players/index.html?eref=sihp&sct=hp_t12_a3 -
It's Carpenter and a PTBNL apparently. The sides are exchanging players for the future player. Not much really in my opinion.
-
Wow, that's real money you're talking about? Not fake auction money? So someone might really shell out a grand to get someone in an NCAA pool? Thats just stunning to me. I guess people just have more gambling money to lose than I do. I do like the idea though. I might try to do it with some buddies, but we'd do it FF style. 20 entry fee and 100 fake dollars or something like that.
-
It's really too bad the post counter got reset because I'm sure this is going to be highest viewed thread ever. It was already at like 150K I think. And it's only going to grow even more when a verdict is finally rendered. I check this at least 5 times a day alone. Not sure if that's sad or not.
-
Do you put a limit on the number of teams any one person can buy? Or a cap on how much a team can cost or how much one "owner" can spend during the auction? Sounds kinda interesting.
-
So I get home from work today, flip on ESPN. And see that the MLB tag on the bottom line is highlighted...due to breaking news. So I sit and stare at it impatiently until it makes it all the way to it, seemed like an eternity. Then it finally comes up and it's about Manny Ramirez. Man was I disappointed, annoyed, mad and a lot of other things. GRRR.
-
I tend to think it's good, but either way, this can't be "normal" for this process. If it normally took this long, wouldn't they just adapt the guidelines to be greater than 25 days? If it normally takes 35-40 days, then why wouldn't they just make it 30-40 days as a general rule?
-
If DJO and Crowder continue to play at this level and the rest of the guys chip in, hustle and continue to play with the heart and emotion they have in recent weeks, they are going to be a very, very tough out. I'm amazed that without any real size to speak of without Garnder again, that they outrebounded UConn. UConn appeared to quit in the second half, but some of that was MU's doing. They just flat outplayed them in pretty much every phase for the entire game.
-
Lin now has 45 turnovers in his first 7 starts, shattering the record (if you can say anything in the first 7 games is a record), but he shattered the mark of 38 set by Bucks forward Glenn Robinson. I believe he now has 6+ turnovers in 5 straight games. But yes, please keep it up with Linsanity, at least they are finally starting to talk about it a little bit. The turnovers that is.
-
Another great collapse by the Bucks in the 4th tonight against the Magic. Bucks were up 8-9 with about 6 minutes left and proceed to allow the Magic to finish the game on a 17-0 run. Can't say I'm too disappointed really. Lin's line tonight: 26 points (8-18 shooting), 5 assists, 9 more turnovers. Oh and the Knicks lost at home to the now 7-23 New Orleans Hornets.
-
As great as it is if Braun is innocent - for him, the team and for us the fan. The thing I might enjoy most about it is watching ESPN squirm and I will make it a point to email guys like Kurkjian and what not with direct quotes from them like the one above, where it just blatantly states he is already guilty at this point. Please let this happen.
-
It doesn't have to be in this thread, but I would really like to hear more about this. I'm always looking for ways to do more than just the traditional bracket challenge. My buddy operates what he calls a "spread pool" but that's just more luck than anything else. You get 4 random teams, one in each bracket. Pretty simple. Let' say I get MU. First round spread is 20. If they cover, I move on with MU. If the other team covers (or wins), the person with that team then moves on, only instead they get MU. Basically you're in it until all 4 of your teams fail to cover the spread. He only pays out the top 2 teams. I did win both one year amazingly, but again, just entirely pure luck and it's fun and all but not that interesting since you can't pick teams, he just draws them from a hat. The year I won, I got UNC and they covered every game the whole tournament.

Deep Down, what are your thoughts about Gamel?
brwrsfan replied to RobDeer 45's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm sure it did, but something just seems wrong. Why would almost 6000 people view this thread about Gamel and it only have 8 pages of comments? I can see people looking at the Braun one for updates, news, whatever. But to speculate about Mat Gamel and what people think of him? Seems like an awful lot of people reading and not commenting much.
