    Well, other than the message board on brewers.com (which, let's face it, doesn't have nearly as much meaningful activity as this one), I don't even know of any other real "Brewers only" discussion forums. I really enjoy this forum. I do think "clique-iness" and "statistical over-analysis" have been problems, but to a lesser degree more recently, for whatever reason. Pretty hard to find fault with this site, unless you prefer your internet forum to be full of uncensored talk, huge jpeg pictures in posts, and flame wars, in which case you won't like this site.

    Well, it's definitely kind of a "do or die" year for Weeks. The "potential" word has been bandied about with him for long enough. He spent part of last season in AAA. It's time for him to put up some numbers and prove his "potential."

    I think at least parts of the article were tongue in cheek, though it doesn't dissuade my long held notion that the Brewers are probably one of the more hated teams in baseball. I don't mind that, though.

    I guess my view is that any contract the Brewers offer to Prince should buy out at least one year of free agency. Since Scott Boras is unlikely to allow that ("test the market", "no hometown discounts"), why bother paying Prince more? He knew what he was getting into when he chose Boras to represent him.

    I would probably switch from Charter, but the fact is, we also get our high speed internet from them, and our phone line (which I basically need for business...and yes, I have a cell phone as well). There really aren't any other good options for high speed internet in my area, that I know of...plus I'm sure we would pay more for each service going through separate vendors, so I stick with Charter and hope they'll get around to adding the FSN HD feed someday :P

    I could be wrong, but I think it's technically all HOME games that will likely be in HD. Doesn't really matter to me, since freaking Charter isn't likely to be carrying the FSN HD feed anytime soon, it seems.

    Braun's Backyard or Braun's Brigade sound good to me.
  8. Invader3K
    Honestly, stuff like this is part of the reason I like Braun. I doubt he really meant anything by the comment, it was probably more of a joke. Still, I think he brings just a little bit of swagger and cockiness, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it doesn't go overboard.

    I used to work with a guy who worked in Jamaica for several years. Basically, he and his coworkers lived in a house, and they were bused directly to work and then back (he worked for some kind of booking agency), and he made it sound like all he could basically do was stay inside or walk around their property, that was about it. Didn't sound like a place I'd really be anxious to explore.

    I agree, but the problem is that Cecil keeps interjecting himself into the media with stuff like this.

    I've done the all-inclusive thing a couple times with my wife, once in the Mayan Riviera part of Mexico, and the other time in the Dominican Republican. I really liked it both times. The resorts we stayed at were both fairly upscale, and did not allow kids, something I could definitely appreciate (nothing against children, but I don't have any and don't need to see any while on vacation). For me, it basically boils down to whether you want to just stay at the resort and relax, and stick to the activities the resort offers, or if you want to do sight seeing. It helps if you like to drink and eat, of course http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif It seems like there's quite a bit more sight seeing options in Mexico than a lot of the Caribbean places. I mean, when we were in the DR, there was basically one very small nearby village to visit on a four wheeler day excursion (which we did and was a lot of fun), but that was about it. Oh yeah, there were also some shanty type shops to visit by taking a long walk down the beach, but not exactly exciting sight seeing, you know? By contrast when we were in Mexico, we went on a shopping day trip to Playa Del Carmen (after we had to visit a way out of our price range jewelery store first, which was protected by armed guards...), saw some ancient Mayan ruins, and an actual modern Mayan village, etc. Definitely search the online ticket and booking websites. You can usually find good deals with enough research.

    Exactly. I mean, if being the all time Home Run King isn't enough to get in, than what is? A few more hits aren't going to matter with everything else he accomplished in his career. Bonds is going to be in the same boat as Pete Rose, basically.
  13. Invader3K
    Yeah, I think this could make sense for the Rays if it happens.

    You apparently assume that somehow the marketing folks should be doing GM duties. It's not like Michael Hill is sitting in his office all day thinking up lame promotional ideas. No, but it's still a portion of the overall budget that could be going to baseball operations, instead of something like this. I suppose though, that something like this isn't going to cost a team a lot overall, but still...
  15. Invader3K
    Right. Based on his history, you just can't commit to him for that much time. I'd say a 3 year deal would be the most I'd be comfortable with. Maybe four if there's some kind of discount involved. Really though, I think he is probably going to be gone after this season. It's just hard to imagine a realistic scenario where he doesn't get some ridiculous offer from some other team.
  16. Invader3K
    Don't the Marlins already have a "Mermaids" group of cheerleaders? My guess is that this is kind of to parody that. Still, couldn't they just focus on making their baseball team better? This is the kind of stuff the Brewers were doing in the late '90s.

    I've been to this place! Many times actually...very good cuts. In fact, we just had a steak from there on Valentine's Day. Very good! As for my personal views, if Prince doesn't want to eat meat, that's fine. I feel though, that if meat is murder, murder is pretty darn delicious.
  18. Invader3K
    It depends on what our alien overlords dictate we should pay, in between rounds in the salt mines.
  19. Invader3K
    I'm not going to worry about Prince or any other Brewer right now. It's impossible to tell what the future holds, or how deep Mark Attanasio's pockets really are.

    I graduated in May '02 from Whitewater. Also lived on campus for three years after that, as my wife was an assistant hall director on campus.

    I've heard Drew Olson say on multiple occasions that the players hate the retro uniforms.

    Guys, if my fence line suggestion doesn't work, just use an empty beer bottle and bring a bottle of hand sanitizer in your car. Problem solved.
  23. Invader3K
    I agree with Tbadder. It was nice to see Sheets being honest with where he is at in his career (not that he has done anything different before). Some players would be griping about how the team should be trying to sign him again or playing the whole "I'm still a great player" card, but Sheets isn't doing that, which is refreshing.
  24. Invader3K
    Yeah, I know someone who bought a kitten from the local Humane Society, and I think it took like two weeks. I know they are trying to make sure a "good person" is adopting the pet, but this place is literally swarming with cats that need homes. They also tried to guilt her into adopting more than one kitten on top of that.
  25. Invader3K
    Just urinate by the fence line like everyone else.
