  1. The whole PR thing of him being from Wisconsin? Other than that, I don't know. I think his days in the Brewers organization are probably numbered.
  2. Based on what? Aaron actually admitted using a "greenie" one time in his book, but said it was a terrible experience and he never did it after that. As far as him using steroids, I've never heard anyone give any legitimate claim to that.
  3. Yeah, I had a feeling any thoughts that he could come back after the All Star break or something were pretty much fantasy speculation. I can't see anyone rushing to give him a contract at this point.
  4. Hank Aaron is always going to be my home run king no matter what. Notice how no one even talks about Bonds anymore (except in relation to his impending trial), and Aaron seems to get more attention than ever? I think Bonds' record is completely hollow in the minds of most baseball fans. No need to "adjust" things when people already see it that way, in my opinion.
  5. Well, all the signs point to another great attendance years, so I don't think that's in question at this point.
  6. Eh...there have been rumors about that for quite a while. I doubt they would be actually going off air anytime soon.
  7. Well, I don't see how you can't look at the rotation this year vs last, and not think it's a downgrade. Gallardo and Parra just have too many question marks right now to really say what they will do this season.
  8. I believe MLB on XM will have all the spring training games, too.
  9. Yeah, I'd love to hear more details on that one, and the methodology used.
  10. Well, the NBA and NFL have sometimes done it that way. MLB has historically not done that, for whatever reason.
  11. The frustrating thing is that he has shown in the past he has the athletic ability to be a very good player. I don't know if he doesn't have the mental component anymore or what.
  12. Yeah, and then if he says no, slip something into his drink.
  13. Seems communist to me.
  14. I actually think Dunn would make more sense than Abreu. I'd give done a four year deal if the amount per year wasn't unreasonable. Between Dunn, Fielder, and Braun, you'd have the potential for some 120 home run seasons, just from those three guys. The downside of course is that you'd basically have to trade either Cameron or Hart.
  15. Wow, that's an interesting lineup. Kind of cool they were able to get a Hoffman bobble in there, and I'm sure Suppan will be popular. (That last part should be in blue). Kind of neat that Doug Melvin is going to have a bobble as well.
  16. Well, how could you possibly say DiFelice is better than McClung when he has only appeared in a total of 15 MLB games? Maybe he'll end up being a better pitcher, but I think it's too early to tell. Anyway, McClung is only going to make about $1.6 million this year, so even if he's terrible, it's not the end of the world for the Brewers.
  17. Put up the antenna and tell the neighbors to deal with it.
  18. Well, at least there should be some real competition for the rotation now, instead of just having to basically stick to the 5 as laid out now, and panicking if someone gets hurt or just doesn't have it during spring training.
  19. Yeah, as long as nothing more comes of this, I don't think there's any way he doesn't get into the Hall at this rate. How ironic if he's the one to someday break Bonds' home run record. Anyway, I heard his apology in the interview, and I guess I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
  20. Not the most exciting signing, but the depth this creates is quite huge, like everyone else has said. I was surprised when I heard about this this morning, as I figured if the Brewers did add any other pitchers, it would be of the scrap heap/reclamation variety. Looper is not that.
  21. Well, the pessimist in me says Abreu probably doesn't want to come here, and the Brewers probably don't even have $4 million to spend on another player at this point. If they did, we probably wouldn't be looking at our rotation as presently constituted.
  22. Yeah, if he was cheap enough, I don't see how you don't sign him. At worst you do an Abreu/Hart platoon, and for $6 or 7 million, I would have to believe that ends up being a bargain.
  23. You might be surprised what a small indoor antenna can do, if positioned near a window. When I lived in Whitewater, we were in an apartment that was pretty bad for reception, but I was able to get quite a few stations from Madison and Milwaukee with a Zenith Silver Sensor antenna connected to my HD-ready set.
  24. Yeah, if Suppan turns it around and is at least decent for the next season or two, it won't have been a great contract, but not one of the worst ever for the Brewers. I've said it earlier, and I know many on this board will disagree, but I do think there were at least some intangible benefits of the Suppan signing. Mainly it showed the fans that the new owner was serious about spending money and trying to win, and it showed other players that the Brewers were trying to compete and would be a player in the free agent market. Those don't necessarily translate to wins, but I think they do matter from a business standpoint, at least partly.
