    ESPN's auction is great. I have used it for football and it works well. The main problem that I find is that ESPN ranks the players from best to worst and most people just select the top player to auction off rather than choosing guys much further down the list. Example - Hanley Ramirez auctioned 1st, Pujols 2nd, A-Rod 3rd, etc, etc. If you have people in the auction who know how to play auction style then it becomes a little bit better.

    When did Pettite have that surgery/injury?
  3. RyDogg66
    Id like to see a list of pitchers that have had the same surgery/injury that caused him to miss 2009 and how they have fared while coming back. Jason Jennings is one that I know had the surgery. Where is he now?

    Are you serious?

    I have a hard time putting much stock in this comment since you have been calling the Wolf deal bad even before Harden signed. I am wondering to all of those who are crapping all over Wolf and praising the Rangers for this move. Which pitcher would you rather have at 3 years and 30 million? Wolf or Harden? An answer of neither isnt acceptable. Considering there is a chance you might get 40 starts total out of Harden in that span I am going to say Wolf. The reason reliable pitchers get longer contracts is because you are paying for the reliability + the talent upside. With guys like Harden you pay for upside and a prayer, which is why they will be lucky to ever get a deal longer than one year.

    That, and if someone else is offering 21k for the 20k car and it is the only one available and you want it, you have to pay more than the other guy to get it.

    The bottom line is we cant afford to pay closers closer money to come to Milwaukee to set up Hoffman. we need depth and Melvin is adding it. Hawkins is decent insurance of Hoffman goes down. I see him filling the role of Solomon Torres in 2008 who we paid 3.33 million dollars to come set up a year after he put up a 5.47 ERA in Pittsburgh. By adding Hawkins it improves depth all over the bullpen. I just cant get too upset that Melvin is adding He has had an ERA+ above 100 every year since 2002 and from what I can tell has been durable.

    Id like to see the Brewers take a flyer on a riskier, higher upside guy for their second pitcher. Preferably Duchscherer.
  9. RyDogg66
    7.5 million over two years is about what he made the past two years, so cant really get too upset about that considering his numbers that past two years.

    Before adding Wolf our rotation candidates consisted of Gallardo, Parra, Bush, Suppan and Narveson. We just witnessed a season where those 5 lead us to the worst starting staff in the National League. We gave up no draft picks or prospects to get Wolf. Im being completely serious when I ask this, and if this is another thread please let me know, but what should Melvin had done instead?
  11. RyDogg66
    The Brewers should have stuck with Narveson, Suppan and Mike Burns as the back end of the rotation.

    This team has never had both Vargas and Doug Davis on the same team. If they both sign this offseason we might need to implement a 3 ball-2 strike rule.

    Its been snowing most of the day in Oshkosh, but it looks like there is maybe 2 inches on the ground, and I noticed that it had been melting on contact with concrete up until about 2-3 PM.

    Well, if it is true, the Marlins would probably be foolish to let those two pass. More likely, that is what the Marlins demands are and Texas passed.

    "out" makes it sound like it isnt his choice.
  16. RyDogg66
    Josh Byrnes should be fired.
  17. RyDogg66
    Exactly.

    Marijuana is only a problem because it is illegal. And you are right, a very, very small amount comes from the Midwest. Most comes from Mexico and other countries south of the border.
  19. RyDogg66
    Maybe we could get Jorge De La rosa

    What is the story with Wednesday. Heard someone is getting a snow storm. Will it be any of us here in Wisconsin?

    Weezer continued to get worse this year. their latest single "I want you to" is a ripoff of The Jam's "Town Called Malice"

    Im not going to make a list because I missed out on the second half of the decade once I had kids, but I will toss out a nominee. Revolutionary Road. When taken as a whole and considering the original novel by Richard Yates, the screenplay that was very much true to the book, the direction by Sam Memdes, the incredible acting by DiCaprio and especially Winslet, and finally the score by Thomas Newman which is fantastic - not to mention the lasting effects of the film itself. It was as powerful and resonating as any film Ive seen. Yes, it was mostly character driven and it doenst have the escapism factor that most movies give you - hell at one point my wife whispered to me that Frank and April's fighting so real it felt like a fight we might have had before. Im not saying it needs to be on a top 10 list but it should just be recognized.

    Im down on court storming. It usually is a sign that you just beat a team that you dont feel you should have. If Wisconsin (fans) wants to be taken seriously, they need to believe they should be Duke at home. As my old football/baseball coach said about scoring touchdowns and hitting home runs - act like you've been there before.

    Maybe she was bad luck, Badgers win!
  25. RyDogg66
    I cant complain. Between Weeks, McGehee, Gamel and Heather the Brewers have 2b and 3b pretty well covered. Id like the extra draft pick, sure, but if that 4 million goes to a pitcher that is worth a darn then it will be fine.
