    See above comment: "I'm just trying to encourage people to be cordial, and to avoid the kind of personal attacks that infect other discussion boards." Also, I don't think the parent or boss analogies are fair ones. I am neither Ned Yost's father, nor his boss. Neither his sense of self-worth nor his financial security depend on what I think, or say. So we're talking about a completely different power dynamic.

    I don't think I'm being overly sensitive. I'm just trying to encourage people to be cordial, and to avoid the kind of personal attacks that infect other discussion boards.

    Because you're presuming to speak for me, and in a clearly negative way. It's inappropriate, and I would appreciate it if you'd refrain from doing it in the future. I really object to the inference, which is, essentially: "You're so close-minded that I will never be able to persuade you. You'll just reflexively disagree." There's no need for that.
  4. RU Rah Rah
    There's no need to be personally uncivil this way.
  5. RU Rah Rah
    That's what's scary (in a good way, if you're a Brewer fan).

    Sorry to overgeneralize, but it seems to me that many Yost defenders (or maybe they are better classified as anti-anti-Yost folks?) take issue with the fact that we don't praise Ned enough for making the "right" moves, such as removing a reliever at the proper time. But, for me, that's just being minimally competent as a manager. I'm not going to throw the guy a parade for doing the obviously correct thing from time to time.

    Who's that Tavarez guy?
  8. RU Rah Rah
    I don't understand why teams throw strikes when he's at the plate. I honestly don't. I guess they're afraid of walking him and having Prince come up with a man on, but, man, I'd take my chances with nibbling and having him diving after that down-and-away pitch.

    Spending a week there (house on the lake in Oostburg) with the wife and kids (ages 3 and 7), and wondering if there's anything cool that we might have missed in our previous trips. Any suggestions for cool things to do?

    But the word "always" is the very core of the problem. That's what makes the criticism so overblown. TLB is right on the mark for mentioning the dangers of "absolutism."
  11. RU Rah Rah
    Yeah, me too. Just checked back to see the totals. Yikes.
  12. RU Rah Rah
    What a day to be stuck in the office. Damn.

    If anyone can come back from this, it's Tiger. But a golf swing is such a delicate thing. I just wonder how the long lay-off and the knee are going to impact him when he comes back.

    I like this part of the article: "He's a lifetime .230, .240 hitter that strikes out a ton and hits home runs," Ricciardi said. "Yes, he hits home runs, which none of the Toronto Blue Jays are doing," the caller replied.
  15. RU Rah Rah
    So there are people here who question him giving Sheets the ball every fifth day?
  16. RU Rah Rah
    Shouldn't this have been in blue? No. It is just a flat-out misrepresentation to say that anyone here disagrees with every decision Ned makes.
  17. RU Rah Rah
    No one here is really guilty of this.

    Just caught a little on ESPN. Apparently there was a stress fracture -- which he knew about 2 weeks ago. So he knowingly went out and played with it. Unreal. Done for 2008. I wonder about this long-term -- 4 surgeries on one knee just isn't good.
  19. RU Rah Rah
    If you read the novel High Fidelity, there are frequent (and hilarious) references to Simple Minds. (Loved the movie version, too, but that part of things got lost.)
  20. RU Rah Rah
    Thank you. I can't believe we're even arguing about this particular thing. Tavarez clearly was gassed, and, at that point, any option would have given the Brewers a better chance.
  21. RU Rah Rah
    I wonder if the team can carry 17 pitchers and 8 position players.
  22. RU Rah Rah
    I am not sure how much of an upgrade Randolph would be -- probably not enough to make a move. Still, to get canned at 3:19 a.m. -- that is just having insult added to injury.
  23. RU Rah Rah
    Yeah, I saw that stat this weekend. Tiger has to finish in the top ten of every major until 2019 (or thereabouts) to match that. Unreal.
  24. RU Rah Rah
    Come on, Tiger, at least mention Rocco in your interview. (OK, prompted by Costas.)
  25. RU Rah Rah
    Wow, it would suck to lose on the 91st hole.
