    I've never been one to deface property, but I was in a bathroom at a bar about a month ago, and someone had written something really nasty on a wall, which drove some other moron to draw an arrow pointing to it and write "WOAH". I couldn't help myself, and took the pencil out of my pocket and jotted "SOLVDD" under it. Of course, no one in Texas will understand this phenomenon, but I felt as if I were a bathroom missionary and that WOAH SOLVDD's splendor must be shared with these heathens.

    Scholars say that the translation was lost thousands of years ago, but we know it means something really cool. He is the one we were told of: our organizational savior. Some say he is Mark Attanasio, and that his coming was indicated by the drafting of Lou Palmisano. Other will tell you that his existance is nothing more than the hallucinations of a kid with learning disabilities. I for one, believe in WOAH SOLVDD, and embrace all that his oddly-spelled and cap-locked name stands for.

    The forums are doing OK, but they're housed on some monster servers at EZBoard that are meant to handle large traffic. The "main" site died a few times yesterday. I'm trying to figure out what the bottleneck is that kills it when traffic is high. I guess I've just been lucky then, as I don't think I've come to this stie and found it to be down for months now. Then again, I'm typically working (with no computer) and in class until after the rest of you guys have completed the workday when the site is bombarded the heaviest.

    Kudos on keeping the site up throughout all of this madness. With more traffic than draft day which brought the server to its knees, the site has worked like usual over the last few days.

    Could somebody break this down for me, as I still don't get why signing Miller or Royce Clayton costs a draft pick after the whole Seabiscuit Perez/JVDW thing a year ago. As I recall, we got no compensation for them since they had been free agents before, so how does Miller or Clayton cost a pick when those guys didn't?

    It's from signing in to the other board. Sign off, then sign on for just this EZBoard. Your post count will be back to normal. EZBoard tracks each message board seperately. It's odd then that I sign in here and there's an accurate count, and when I go to the political board it switches me to the appropriate count there.

    I'm a firefox rookie, and have found it to be pretty friggin' sweet. Everyone who uses IE should take the few minutes it takes to download (free) and try it out.

    Now we just need teams to start taking a stand against Boras and maybe we'll see the insanity that is MLB salaries calm down a little, that and implement a salary cap. I for one would really like to see a cap for draftees (maximum amount any player can get regardless of round or position), with the only thing left to haggle over being whether it's a minor or major league deal. It really sucks when bad teams had to pass on Weaver and Drew since they couldn't afford them. Isn't the point of a draft to make the worst teams in the league better? It works in the other sports but not baseball with it's messed-up system.

    Why must '89 Tempos be nicknamed The Beach Cruiser? A friend of mine had the same car with the same nickname in high school. Wow, that's absolutely incredible. This friend of yours, is he a super-genius too? Tell me, mother, is yours powder blue? No, it used to be gray, but the paint was almost completely gone, as is often the case with gray Fords from the 80's and early 90's. It also had a huge dent in the back from where I jump-kicked it after finding out it would cost a couple hundred dollars to fix a car worth a couple hundred dollars, so I just drove it into the ground, then sold it to someone for $80. It also had a set of 3 fake chrome hubcaps. A friend of mine had them on his car and lost one, so I asked if I could have them. He said "you know there's only 3 right?" I told him that's precisely why I wanted them. And did the nickname have anything to do with the movie Friday? Indirectly, yes, but there is a story which involves sand. I used it as a delivery car, and the steering was messed up which made the tires wear unevenly, and one night I lost control of it around a corner on a patch of sand and whipped a donut. I first thought to call it the dune buggy, but then decided on Beach Cruiser for the way it handled the sand. My wife had an '89 Tempo, and it spontaneously started on fire. I have a theory that they only made Tempos in '89, but claimed to make them for close to a decade as I've known probably 20 people who owned one, and all but maybe 3 of them rocked the eight-nine.

    Well, New Coke did do better than Crystal Pepsi. But neither are as good as "Mountain Dew Code Red: for a sensation as real as the streets". Perhaps that's a better analogy, as we can only pray that Brewerfan 3.0 is as real as the streets.
  13. mothershipconnection
    It's gonna be the biggest thing since New Coke! Oh wait, bad comparison...

    The fellas at work were giving me the business, saying that George Bush would probably be better served NOT to have his name on the Crown Vic... Yeah, they say any publicity is good publicity, but I just don't know about that. Come to think of it, maybe I should have placed a Bush sticker in the window of my '89 Ford Tempo aka "The Beach Cruiser" last election, it may have been the deciding factor. One thing's for sure, if I ever ran for public office I'd never want one of my stickers on a Honda CRX, it just has to be a bad sign when your sticker's on a car that never gets out of the driveway or off the side of the road.

    With that I'll say Austin Jackson, a prep OF from Texas, a state the Brewers really haven't tapped into much. Jack Z. is still a tools-guy, and after Upton, Jackson may have the best combination of size, speed & power of any player available next June. Think Torii Hunter, as much as I hate making generic comparisons As an employee of the Denton School district, I could sneak in and find more out if it looks like he may be our pick come spring. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/pimp.gif Denton Ryan has produced some pretty awesome players in the past few years. First there was Guerra who went to the Dodgers this year, and now Jackson could be a fisr rounder. By the way, Jackson has comitted to play hoops for Georgia Tech, so he'll probably have to get the big bucks to sign. Jackson is also a top baseball prospect who likely will be taken high in the amateur baseball draft next spring. He hopes to play minor league baseball in between college basketball seasons.

    So started new medications. New Tuesday, (Oct 12th) I get injestions into the disks of my neck. Then two more times I get injections into the disks of my bask. Cortizone? I had to get shot up with that stuff for awhile. It helps a lot for a brief period of time, then the problems came back for me. A neck problem won't be cured the same way, but my back injury never improved as much as it did when I dropped a lot of weight. Spinal problems are a B-----, I hope they get you fixed up.

    Well, here in the middle of the state we get the Friggen Cubs on one FOX station, then @ 3 on the other we get the Angles. Seems to make great sense to me I'm in Texas and got that game instead of Brewers-'Stros as well, what a load of crap.

    I think it'd be cool since fantasy and real football discussions could be kept separate, but if the cost and effort needed would be too great, it can easily stay confined to threads in the off topic forum.

    "Secretary of Keepin' it Real" That may be the greatest title ever. No offense Brian, but that is much more prestigious and glorifying than "brewerfan.net president". I can easily see why you wouldn't want someone else to have that title as it kind of makes you look like Prime Minister of Britain, who actually has the power, but is overshadowed by someone with the title of King or Queen. Only one label could be better, tying two Simpsonisms together "Handsome B. Wonderful: Secretary of Keepin' it Real". When my friend was umeployed for awhile, he told us that his new position was either "vice president of money" or "chief executive of running sh--" when we asked if he had found a new job.

    Edit: That Rob Deer Fan Club link is awesome. All hail the prophet Branyan Yeah, TTO average is now my favorite stat. I calculated Branyan's this year, and it is actually above the number that had set the record at the time that article was written, as he currently sits at an amazing 62.26%.

    What about Bill's "Daily mutha------ Brew", in which each installment ends with "suck my joint, b----s!"?

    The best part about this game was every time they showed the scoreboard between innings or going to a commerical the game had the title: "Hunt for Ocotber." Did they realize what game they were showing? I found that funny too. I personally would have gone with something like "the Central race for sixth place".

    It's pretty sad when you look at the Pirates' lineup next to ours and say "damn, they're stacked". My Dish Network also has the game listed at 3:00. Thanks for the heads-up on that or I'd likely have never noticed. I've been able to take in lots of games down here since I found a sports bar with a 13" TV at every table that has the extra innings package, but I wouldn't have gone down there and spent money to watch the big Glover debut.

    So, if Drew still doesn't sign, he can enroll in the spring semester and still play college ball, right?

    Ben Grieve will not find a home on a major league 25-man roster on Opening Day next year. Book it. I have to agree. There's no way he'll be back in Milwaukee, as Hart will be up and Clark is already signed, plus he's already burned his bridge with baseball's other crap-tastic team. He'll certainly be given a minor league deal, but he's shown that he's best-suited as a DH, yet doesn't hit with enough power that I see him drawing any interest. I had pretty high hopes for Grieve this year, though not as high as some, and have been pretty disappointed. All OBP is fine for a middle infielder, but on a team with little power, you need a guy who can mash a little as a bad-gloved corner OF.
