    They mentioned at the top of the broadcast that he was under the weather but was going to gut it out.

    please... He's not wrong.

    Right but Braun and A-rod and those other guys that got suspended in that group didn't get caught by the testing. The league nailed them by an outside investigation. So it would seem to be reasonable to assume that plenty of drug use is still going on. Unless you think Dee Gordon and Marte used just that one time and just happened to also get caught.

    Works for Bartolo Colon.

    SABERMETRICS?!?! NO THANKS!!!! WINS AND LOSSES IS THE ONLY WAY TO ANALYZE A PITCHER!!!! Times change. 21 year olds are now legally able to drink during this boom, and the beer culture is definitely spreading. 5 years ago I could go and buy a case of some beers after its release date. Today it's gone immediately because people camp out for it. (I'm not that silly). I doubt we'll ever see a time where yellow beers dominate the market again. Micro breweries are popping up all the time. Including brew pubs, Milwaukee has over 30 different breweries in the area, and I'm sure more will be opening up by the end of the year. Why don't they make more of it then? it's marketing, and people are falling for it. And it's done on purpose so it gives the customer away of acting kind of like "they're in the know" so it gives them a feeling of exclusivity, vip, superiority. And then you can charge more. McDonalds sells the most hamburgers. Does anyone think McDonalds hamburgers are the best? Beer is basically liquid bread. Maybe you just like eating all your sandwiches with white bread, but i like to spice things up with a rye or soughdough or a nice roll. Nobody's going to stop you from eating your white bread. And I'd like to know what bars you go to where you can't get Miller lite or Highlfe. Cause even the snootiest beer bars I've been too still have "regular' beer available.

    Interesting that there was a story about them policing injuries more now that the DL is only 10 days. See if that's true now. Anybody really think Garza has a groin injury? I don't. From Rosiak and the JS "Garza didn’t appear to be in any discomfort after making his final start of the spring on Sunday"

    I'm 40 and I'm not a hipster and I like pale ales. Some of the IPAs are over the top but pale ales can be good.
  8. AdvantageSchneider
    $10 for a Miller lite? Like what's the deal with that? Are all beers going to be $10? Why would you buy a $10 miller lite there? $14 for a beer is pretty bad. I know those are good beers, but that's 2 six packs of decent beer at a liquor store.

    I'm sorry but no reasonable person can be upset Weeks didn't try OF in the middle of the season for the Brewers. Position changes should take place in the offseason. Braun moves from LF to RF in the offseason. Same thing when he moves back. Same thing with Cal Ripkin. He moved to 3rd for about 10 games and then moved back. When he finally moved to 3rd it was in the off season. Bill Hall played everywhere in the IF pretty well and he was horrible in the OF even with having the entire offseason to work on it.

    Don't care and never will. I tihnk I saw Bruce Chen pitching for China in loafers. It's a joke. Just hoepe no Brewers get hurt in this stupid thing.
  11. AdvantageSchneider
    Was that CC with him at the end for a few seconds?

  13. AdvantageSchneider
    I thought the rule was that if you throw your glove at a ball it an automatic triple, or was that during BP? Now I have to look that up.
  14. AdvantageSchneider
    Unless Garza has come up with another pitch this offseason I don't see any way he gets traded for anything of value. Salary dump at best, with better odds they give him the old yeller treatment like they did to Suppan.
  15. AdvantageSchneider
    This seems reasonable to me. $2M is nothing to sneeze at and the losing the picks will hurt too. That seems to be a much harder punishment than what SD got. You can split hairs as to which malfeasence was worse from a baseball perspective.
  16. AdvantageSchneider
    He didn't opt out he refused assignment. How is that different that what I said?
  17. AdvantageSchneider
    So the Indians didn't release him, they were going to send him down to the minors and he opted out of his contract. I suppose since he didn't latch on with anyone last year we didn't have to give him that type of clause in his contract. Seems like a decent signing.

    I'm a reasonable guy. I can see the bartender letting the cubs fan play the song because he wants a tip. My friends and I should then be allowed to boo and yell so loud that we don't have to hear that tripe. When the bartender turns up the song, he has in effect taken sides with the cubs fans, and at that point let me know that my Brewer dollars are going to take a back seat to cubs dollars. No thank you sir, I'll go someplace else to drink.
  19. AdvantageSchneider
    I won't disagree with any of that. However, I'm thrilled that Stearns could care less about any of that. His job is to rebuild this team the right way, and that could take 2 more years or 5. If some Brewer fans become Cubs fans, they're bandwagon fans who will be back when the Brewers are winning again. Will some become Cubs fans permanently? I guess, but good riddance. Not to mention some Cubs "fans" will become Brewers fans when the tables turn. It does work both ways. I would hope our playoff appearances would innoculate our fanbase from the cubs disease. I mean I could see some weak fans being picked off by the cubs social disease, but I would think most people have fond memories of the recent success we've had along with some pretty good personalities, Prince, Braun, CC, Cargo, Lucroy. It's not like we have been wandering in the desert for 30 years without a break. We've had a couple of stops at an oasis. That should get the majority of the fans through to when we will be competitive again.

    I don't know if it was played through the jukebox. I assume so. If you can turn the volumn up I assume you can skip a song or mute it if you want. The bar was not full, rather empty, SOBs is a pretty big place. It was the Friday night before New Years. Slims was closed when we left at 1AM. I don't see how you get more tips by playing tha song. We weren't the only ones booing.
  21. AdvantageSchneider
    I don't think so. If they lost a bet they didn't have to turn it up when the booing started.
  22. AdvantageSchneider
    Went to SOBs tonight with some friends. We go there often during the baseball season using their shuttle to get to the game. Had a pleasant time as always, until the end of the night. They played the "Go cubs go" song. We started booing and yelling to turn that music off. They turned the song up. We walked out and will never go back. I always thought they were a Brewer bar. Apparently not.
  23. AdvantageSchneider
    You can do still do team bonding stuff like when the Brewers all wore cowboy stuff on the plane. Nothing wrong with that and that seems like a better team bonding experience than making some guy dress in a hooters outfit. I always thought that kind of stuff was stupid. Been on plenty of teams never had to do anything dumb like that.
  24. AdvantageSchneider
    Would you rather have Fowler for $82M or Desmond for $70M? I see there is talk about the Cards also signing Trumbo or Encarnacion. How is it determined which team gets the higher comp pick? Are the FA still ranked like CC and Texeria?
  25. AdvantageSchneider
    Here's a guess: - Sign Trumbo to play 1B. They lose their 2nd pick for that - not as hefty a price - Trade Blackmon, put Desmond in CF - CarGo only has two years on his contract left. After that, Shift Desmond over to a corner spot for the rest of his deal. I guess they can do that, but does that get them to the playoffs? Again they were two games better than us. Does anyone think we could add two non-all star caliber players and suddenly become playoff contenders? Obviously they didn't sell off their veteran pieces like we did, but maybe they should have. Just glad I'm not a rockies fan for multiple reasons.
