    Jeremy Reed has 259 career starts in CF, and played there as recently as 2009 with the Mets.

    Looper was informed by the Cubs he wouldn't make the team, and has decided to retire.

    I wouldn't buy a PS3 just for one game, but "The Show" is pretty much everything you could ask for in a baseball game. "Smackdown vs Raw" is pretty fun if you like WWE.

    A bit selective with your quoting, twi7: "He's had a good spring. We'll continue to look at center fielders. If Carlos got hurt, we could be scrambling."

    This is pretty much how I feel. I never got the sense that the Brewers saw Dickerson as any sort of long term piece. Mitre provides a bit of depth and injury insurance. He's not a really good pitcher, but he can work in long relief or as a spot starter. That's it. Not a trade to get all riled up about either way.

    I was thinking this as well. It seems like every year for the past few seasons there have been some random quotes from mystery scouts and executives panning the Brewers. I remember a quote from "a GM" before the '08 season who said the Brewers were "overrated." It's probably people from teams like the Pirates, if I had to honestly guess.

    A top tier offense which is still basically completely intact from last season, but with realistic room for improvement. A quality bullpen, that while it could face some regression, has actual depth. An owner who has shown willingness to spend money mid-season to improve the team. A GM who is in "win now" mode. A manager who the players seem to like and respect (at least for now).

    Ditto. See you folks tomorrow evening.

    I tried to get it, but it doesn't seem to work with US Cellular.

    Fukudome may be overpaid by a bit, but you have to remember that the Cubs have a decently larger budget than the Brewers. They can afford to overpay guys and we really can't.
  11. Invader3K
    Yeah, one wouldn't think a working scoreboard would be too much to ask for in this day and age...
  12. Invader3K
    I feel for you guys up north. The snow completely missed us here in southern Wisconsin.
  13. Invader3K
    I drafted Fukudome in my NL-only fantasy draft last night, so that proves he's a winning player. /blue Seriously, though, I don't think this is a really big deal for the Cubs like you're making it out to be.

    Someone on the JSOnline blog says Tom is scheduled to return to his job duties on Friday. I'm sorry to hear about the loss in his family, though. I'm sure it must be a tough time.
  15. Invader3K
    Don't have an extra, but I just got mine that I bought off eBay (paid about 25 bucks). It's a very nice bobble and worth the money in this case.

    I don't see any reason to give up Chrome at this point, which has just gotten better and better.

    Here's another encouraging article on Gomez. The spring signs are encouraging. Gomez, back this week from a bout of back stiffness, entered his start against the Padres on Tuesday batting .390 this spring, with a .405 on-base percentage and three stolen bases in four attempts. It's an exceptionally small sample, but what has really impressed the Brewers' new manager is Gomez's work in the hours before game time. "If you go out and watch [Gomez in batting practice], he's really trying to hit line drives up the middle toward the second baseman," Roenicke said. "And he's staying there all the time -- I think that's what [Milwaukee hitting coach] Dale [sveum] likes. All of his at-bats during the game, that's basically his approach." Gomez will still chase the occasional low and away slider, Roenicke said. "But his approach is to the point that he is going to lay off it more often," Roenicke said. "He's going to pick up the spin and hold off and not chase that pitch." At some point last season, Gomez approached Sveum and offered to do whatever it took to reclaim his job. It was a "big point," Sveum told the manager, in the relationship between hitting coach and hitter.

    Bottom line is, I think we just have to see how Thursday plays out. Hawing, this may be the best way to go at this point. Either that or some of us can stand around on your lawn and watch your HDTV through a window http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  19. Invader3K
    Yeah, that could be an issue, as discussed earlier. If anyone has alternative ideas, I'm open to hearing them. I don't live in Madison.

    I had bought four tickets to this game, not realizing I had a family event the same day. Game is Saturday, April 2, at 3:10 PM. These are great seats. Section 116, Row 14, seats 1-4. Pretty much right behind home plate. Included is a preferred parking pass. I paid $48 total for the four tickets and parking pass...only asking $30 total. Would also possibly consider trading these for tickets to a Brewers home game this year. Would also consider other trade offers you may have. Edit: Updated some info. Make me an offer!

    OK guys, let's just plan on this: What? 2011 Brewerfan.net Winter Meetings!Where? Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co.2980 Cahill MainFitchburg, WI When? Saturday, March 26, 7 PM. Who? Anyone on Brewerfan.net, and any friends and family who wish to come along! Additional Info: This is a meetup for Brewers fans to hang out, have some drinks, maybe have some food, and talk Brewers baseball. Let's meet up around the bar area and go from there. We do not have a private room this year, so we'll just have to make do and go with the flow. It should be a great time!
  22. Invader3K
    Yeah, when the Mets cut someone, you know they're bad.
  23. Invader3K
    Not sure. I haven't been there. Someone on Twitter brought up that they closed, or maybe it was just one of their locations? I am not familiar with it.
  24. Invader3K
    Guys, being that this get together is in six days, I'm thinking more and more we should just meet at the Fitchburg Great Dane, private room or not. Are people OK with this? If not, I can keep looking...but options are limited at this late in the planning stages.
  25. Invader3K
    Thanks for the tip. I will look at those retailers next time.
