    Yeah, I don't see why we have to play the Twins twice a season. There really isn't that much of a Brewers/Twins "rivalry" to celebrate. I wish all the teams would play all the teams (or most of the other teams) every season and just be done with it. Works in the NFL.

    With how Daniel Hudson has been pitching for the D-Backs, it has kicked up some criticism again. Tom Haudricourt with a comment: http://twitter.com/Haudricourt/statuses/24534964347 Is Doug Melvin going to regret not pulling the trigger on a Hudson for Fielder swap? Does he already?

    This. The whole scheduling as it stands right now is pretty stupid. The Brewers were just in Boston two years ago, like you said, and got annihilated there.

    Guess the "Macha refuses to rest Weeks" meme can be dropped for now.

    Did you have it parked across multiple spaces? Slightly off topic, but I was at a restaurant last week and someone had a beautiful vintage Pontiac GTO parked diagonally across four spaces. To be fair, they were parked toward the back of the lot, but I think that just begs for someone to vandalize your car even more.

    He would if we grossly overpay to the point that the Yankees will not match such an offer. Since that won't and shouldn't happen, it's rather pointless to talk about Cliff Lee in terms of the Brewers next season.

    For the record (since I started the Hoffman thread), I was just starting it to have a fun discussion, coinciding with the hoopla of his 600th save. I lean in the camp that says, "No, they probably shouldn't retire Hoffman's number." Let San Diego do it. However, he is a likely Hall of Famer, and that is the criteria that the Brewers have used when retiring numbers. (The only exception being Don Sutton, who wasn't a Brewer for very long and was more identified as a Dodger). Ben Sheets was a very good pitcher; but other than an outstanding 2004 and very good, injury shortened 2008, never really rose to the level of being an elite starting pitcher in the majors. Barring a miracle comeback, he will not be a Hall of Famer. Thus, he doesn't meet the criteria the Brewers have established. I really don't think there would be any justification for retiring his number. If you retire his, you should also retire Jenkins'. Maybe even Vaughn and Burnitz as well.

    Macha probably won't even be the manager next season, so I'm not sure his opinion of Gamel is all that relevant in terms of off-season plans.
  9. Invader3K
    That defensive alignment we saw last night...I think that is what we get next season.
  10. Invader3K
    Well, now that would be a real stretch. Three and a half months as a Brewer...probably not.

    They should re-name the medical station at Miller Park in his honor.

    I really hope at least one of them is an option to be a starter coming into spring training next season. We just can't wait around forever for these young guys to be ready. At some point you have to throw them into the fire and see if they stick or fail. It's a lot easier to move someone back into the bullpen than to transition them to starting later on. As an aside, I really hope we can quit talking about Jeffress' substance issues sooner than later. Hopefully he has already put that part of his life behind him. People still bring up Paul Molitor's cocaine use 30 years later, so I guess some fans can just never let go of this kind of stuff.
  13. Invader3K
    Yeah, and the Rays retired Boggs' number eventually as well (the only "Ray" to have his number retired so far). Just sayin'...
  14. Invader3K
    Weird, I had never even heard of IMVU before today. I remember like the very week Chat Roulette came out, there were already news stories about what you'd typically find on there. Probably why I've never bothered with it. Then again my PC doesn't have a webcam either.

    If you're looking for something in the $200 range, I would definitely go used. When it comes to music gear, you get so much more bang for your buck buying used versus new. The advice about going to Guitar Center and just trying stuff out is good. Don't let the sales people pressure you into buying. You can generally get better deals online or at the "mom and pop" shops than at Guitar Center anyway. Don't get obsessed about what brands are better than another, either. Some people love Fender, some hate 'em. Same with any brand. Chances are that if this is your first electric, you aren't going to be playing it for years and years anyway. You'll eventually probably want to upgrade to something better and use your first one as a backup. Just my two cents.

    There's been no indication that Gamel will be traded this off-season. None.

    What is with companies coming out with these "first gen" systems that seem to be somewhat technologically crippled? 1080p isn't really very new anymore. I have a hard time believing it would be that much more expensive or difficult to implement.
  18. Invader3K
    Not of direct help, but I downloaded a program called PlayOn. It's only like $30 and lets you stream Hulu and other online TV sources from your PC to your PS3 (I think it works with other devices as well).

    Yeah, this is why the wife and I bring a cheap portable one. I think we got it for less than $20 at Walmart. It's a nice little collapsible unit, but if someone stole it I wouldn't really care. Slightly off-topic, but have any of you tried using FlameDiscs in your portable grills? We found out about them last year when the company was handing out freebies in the parking lot. They work really well...though the last one we used didn't light up well at all, probably because it was stored in our garage for about a year (I assume the chemical compounds break down over time). The nice thing about them is they don't make a mess, and once they burn out, are cold to the touch. You just throw them in the garbage can and you're done.

    I don't think that's a real Fender. The logo on the headstock is wrong, though the shape of the headstock matches a real Fender. I believe it is a "Squier by Fender Stratocaster", like in this picture: http://www.mrcmusic.com/Squier%20std%20strat%20headstock.JPG If you can get the serial number from the seller (should be somewhere on the neck or headstock), you can check it on Fender's website (IIRC). I own two Fender basses made in USA, so I'm no expert, but know a bit about Fender guitars. The other thing you have to worry about is you can print knock-off Fender stickers.

    Bikeage, I guess I don't see that as being a big deal. I'd have no interest in some cheap little cardboard sign, personally.
  22. Invader3K
    jeffy, I was remarking about the same thing to my dad last night. Seems like a baseball or glove would have been more appropriate.
  23. Invader3K
    Yeah, but are Giants fans really known for harassing "enemy" fans? I honestly don't know.
  24. Invader3K
    A fantastic start by Randy Wolf was ruined by the offense not showing up. Pretty disappointing.

    Braun is still having a very good season, and providing good value compared to his contract. I hope people don't start to get down on him if he isn't putting up Pujols-esque numbers every season. Just for fun, here is baseball-reference.com's 10 similar players to Braun through age 25: Similar Batters through 25 Manny Ramirez (937) Chick Hafey (925) *Danny Tartabull (921) Bob Meusel (917) Raul Mondesi (914) Ralph Kiner (914) *Mike Greenwell (912) Vladimir Guerrero (911) Willie McCovey (911) *Fred Lynn (910) Three Hall of Famers, and two probable future ones. I think I would rather keep him, thanks.
