yeah, we def. dont want the bucks to move out of town. Just some common-sense decisions when it comes to what FSN is airing.

I remember complaining about it last year, but can anyone remind me why FSN shows a terrible Bucks team late in the season that is limping toward another year of missed playoffs over a Brewers team that made the playoffs last year and has as much interest in them across the state as anytime in the last 25 years? Did the Bucks just negotiate a better deal whereby if there was ever a conflict with them and the Brewers FSN MUST show the Bucks, or does FSN have options and just too clueless to do anything about it?

Just to clarify, my 2005 taxes were already done, but from talking with my accountant he mentioned if I had taken those deductions. I told him I did not. I brought him my completed and filed 2005 return and he did a 1040x and filed it. But if that is the going rate, so be it. Thanks for the input.

How much should I have expected to pay for my accountant to review and amend my 2005 return. All he did was add the child tax credit and/or earned income credit. He charged me over $200. That seems a bit much, but what do I know, right?

If the boss is a Cub fan be probably doesnt even care about the game, just getting drunk and obnoxious at the tailgate party. Leave him at home.

simmons bobble! thanks!

looks like all the rain is almost clear of the ball park. Wooo Hooo!

Maybe a few times a year they could have concrete fall from the upper decks...just like in the old days.

I am not sure how often guys who are pre-arby and are scheduled to be 5th OF types get multi-year deals. Even if Nelson gets 250 at bats and comes in with an .800 OPS I wouldnt give him a multi year deal for another 3 or 4 years. He isnt going to be Ryan Braun.

I knew when there was no mention of who they were traded for that this might be a set up. Well done though, got my heart rate up for a second or two.

Something tells me the Sabathia deal would have gotten done without Zach Jackson's (and Sheffield's) contributions and inclusion.

Id take him over TG, Jr. making the team. We need a little power off the bench and he is LH to boot.

Hard to believe the Yankees got Detroit to take all of that awful contract AND give up a decent pitching prospect. I really felt Detroit bailed out NYY in that deal.

No, because of the way football is set up Utah will NEVER play for a title.

The big news seems to be John Calipari leaving Memphis to coach at Kentucky and it has me wondering. Why? Calipari has been insanely successful in Memphis, so much so that he is THE man in Memphis, a school with not a lot of college basketball history and sustained success prior to Calipari's arrival. Also, Calipari seems to be getting the nation's best players to come and play at Memphis. He had the NBA Draft #1 overall pick last year, he had a top 10 team this year and from what I have seen he has 3 of the top 6 or 7 recruits coming into Memphis next year, including the top player in the country. Kentucky, to me, is a lot like the NY Yankees. Tons of history, one of the best programs in the country and a place where they take basketball very very seriously and almost feel a right to be a top team and relevant program. Now I dont hate Kentucky like I do the Yankees, they are just another program to me, but I have no idea why Calipari would want to leave Memphis. Lets look at some of the factors as to why he would leave. Legacy: If he stays in Memphis, is successful and finishes out his career there would likely be statues of himself built outside the arena and Mempis could be become a Duke-like program under Coach K. If he goes to Kentucky and is successful he just becomes another great coach in a long line of great coaches from Rupp to Pitino and everyone in between. He retires, UK says thanks and they are off to look for the next coach they can hire. No statues, that is for sure. Advantage Memphis Lean Years: If he stays...and he has a two or three year run where he has some down years, he likely STILL makes the tournament because Conference USA isnt exactly the Big East, and even if he doesnt make the tourney Memphis isnt going to kill the golden goose and believe they will get someone better. There will forever be a longer leash and much more room for error in Memphis If he goes...and has two or three years like Billy Gillespie just had he will get the boot and now be without a program. Granted, in another year or two he could and probably would land on his feet in a midlevel team in a big conference like Cincinatti or Clemson or something, but still. The leash wont be long and if he has a down year or two he likely misses the tourney with somthing like an 18-12 record. Advantage Memphis Recruiting: If he stays...I guess he continues doing what he is doing and getting top recruits If he goes...I guess he continues doing what he is doing and getting top recruits Advantage: Push Money: If he stays will get paid well If he goes will get paid insanely well Advantage Kentucky Championship Potential: If he stays...remains a top 10 program, usually, and gets to occaisonal final fours with a chance to play for a championship If he goes...takes Kentucky back to top 10 program, annually, and gets to occaisonal final fours with a chance to play for a championship Advantage: Slight edge to Memphis since they already are at that level. Competition Level: If he stays he continues to schedule great competition early in the season and then play a softer conference schedule. If he goes the plays a softer nonconference schedule and a more difficult conference schedule Advantage: Push, slight edge to Memphis because of flexibility Ultimately I believe it comes down to ego. UK wants Calipari and like a school girl he is enjoys being courted and a fuss being made over him, and him being hailed as a savior. But in the end, that has to be the driving reason behind why he might leave. I just dont see how it is better for his career to go to Kentucky and just be another guy rather than staying at Mempis and making Memphis a national powerhouse.

I wish youtube and camera phones existed when I was in college...that table breaking scene reminds me of so many college type parties when you and your friends just do stupid stuff because it is funny. The sub-woofer in the garbage bin is pretty good too, but a little too dangerous for my taste (the paranoia in me envisions someone walking out to put something in the dumpster just as the subwoofer is tossed and the sub hits the person in the head). Also since I am 31 now and havent owned a video game system in almost 10 years that Brewers MLB2k9 clip was cool as well.

Geez FTJ I am beginning to wonder if you have some sort of email notification system attached to my posts that notifies you every time I say something stupid. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

There goes my dream of a Palsmo jersey.

All of the sudden my fantasy baseball draft where I grabbed Marmol and Street does not look so good. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

It appears to be done in Oshkosh, it was less than an inch. Phew.

This is my one and only entry onto youtube.? I made it for my wife for our 7th wedding anniversary.? Yes, as you can see we have been "together" since high school.? I know...gag.

I dont think he was risking anyone's life. He said repeatedly that he stopped at the red lights, turned on his flashers and rolled through them. Of course you pull him over...and then when you see that people are dying and they are trying to get to the hospital you simply step aside and let them grieve.

I expected more from you with the set-up I gave you there.

So if I am North and East of Madison, what does that make me?

Wow. Get a clue mr. reporter. That is pretty funny.
