    How many millions of dollars is "heart and soul" worth, though? I'm torn... I like JJ a ton, but the idea of watching Escobar play defense for years to come is really exciting.

    YAY FOR BIG BOY TIME

    When I was in pee-wee league (8 years old), there was a kid who was definitely throwing 40+. Yeah, it was intimidating, but you just dealt with it. Yeah, if he's really that good, I'm sure whatever team's at the next level would gladly have him on board.

    Divino Gelato Cafe in downtown Waukesha is cash-only, I believe. Annoying.

    He runs like a baby giraffe that just got tasered.

    Tavares has a career .676 OPS, and a career .334. Why would we want him batting leadoff?

    I'm issuing you a strike for blasphemy.

    I stand corrected, but Eckstein is still the Orko of the major leagues.
  12. Brian the Automator
    Has that ever happened for him? Does it happen outside like little league?

    I never said hustling makes you a dork. I'm saying sprinting to 1st base on a walk makes you a dork.

    Sprinting to 1st base on a walk doesn't make you a hustler. It makes you a dork.

    - Dave Eckstein - Chipper Jones - JD Drew - Jim Edmonds (waiting back on a ball to make a Sportscenter catch is lame) - Juan Pierre - Michael Bourn and - Joe Mauer (because God hates a Mauer)

    We're lucky enough to have insurance where they pay 100% once we've met our deductible (and we meet our deductible pretty damn early). As far as the ER doctors now, we've come to expect their limits, and respect them. With that said, an ER doctor at Waukesha Memorial Hospital took an X-ray yesterday, and didn't find anything. An ER doctor at Froedtert took the same X-Ray today and found something obvious. It wasn't a "magic bullet" by any means of the imagination, but was something that easily has a direct impact on the wife's short-term comfort level. Ridiculous. I think our current tactic is just going to be to have ALL her specialists at Froedtert. In our experience, the difference is just night & day. If that doesn't provide results, it's off to Mayo or a similar facility. Unfortunately, right now, there are some committments that tether us to the area, and we can't just pack up and head off quite yet. Thanks to everyone for the kind words and prayers. It really means a lot.

    Would you feel comfortable sharing what the stomach condition is? Just sounds very familiar.

    Back at the ER again ... ugh But holy crap, Froedtert's ER makes Waukesha Memorial Hospital look like a pile of puke. The people here are actually friendly and seem to listen.

    I really don't think jumping Gamel and Escobar from AA to the majors full-time is going to make the team more competitive in 2009. I don't put either of them in the same class that I would put Ryan Braun (someone who can come in and punish the ball right from the start).

    The list of players who have cleared and not cleared waivers is a closely guarded secret between front offices. You'll hear a lot of information and disinformation this time of year.

    link Thought this was interesting ... A 23-year-old girl in Australia's research leads to a way to make some WAY cheap solar cells.

    If by you're asking by "stolen" do I mean that doctors have annexed years of a 20-something woman onto her life and are enjoying it, of course not. However, it's because of their decisions (not testing to see what the problem was before administering steroids) that Nicole is basically living with what feels like a permanent case of mono.

    I'm not upset that doctors are misdiagnosing her. That's fine, we're resigned to the fact that what she has going on is extremely atypical. What I'm upset about are doctors loading her up with steroids without doing any diagnosis, which basically have her in an endless cycle of feeling sick. As far as the money goes, we've spent more money than I can count on medical bills. It's the ones that came after what I think was negligence (and other doctors thought so as well) that make me especially upset. As far as the pain and suffering go, this really had a HUGE impact on our lives. It's hard to say that's worth "cold, hard cash". While nothing will ever replace the time in the prime of her life that was stolen from her, it's not something that I feel should go with zero compensation. If this ends up even being CLOSE to frivolous, that's something I want no part of.

    As far as the doctors go, her endocrinologist is the absolute best in the area, and her other doctors were the best in the area as well (all at Froedtert and highly recommended). She's done the message board thing, and a BOATLOAD of reading. We're covered there. The big problem here is that no diagnostic testing can be done until she gets off the steroids, but the steroids are what's keeping her from getting sick and dying. It's a horrible catch-22. She basically needs a huge streak of luck where she doesn't get sick and is able to taper off her steroids.
