  1. Why should it necessarily cost the Reds anything? A team getting penalized because a player broke the rules is just an unfortunate "side affect" of the penalty in my opinion. If the Reds (or any other team) were "lucky" enough to have the same player that gets suspended also on an extended DL stint, then so be it.
  2. Oh, ok...for some reason I read "according to their last issue" as meaning they were still publishing "What's Brewing". I guess he would have worded it as "according to the latest issue" if that was the case.
  3. Ok, what am I missing?Edison Volquez suspesion for PEDs
  4. I was thinking the same thing, but I'm not sure that these suspensions are really meant to penalize the team as much as it is the player (and not getting paid). I'm guessing if they wanted to activate him early they could do that.
  5. Not a lot of information on this story yet: http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/20/colorado-rockies-president-found-dead-in-hotel/
  6. Here's the web site: http://www.rbwaterfront.com/
  7. They still make the physical copy of this magazine? If so, how do you get a subscription? All the promos I read say "have it delivered right to your in box"..suggesting that you can only get an electronic version (which I have no interest in).
  8. Wow, I can relate to this. Of course, I generally have to pitch from 40 feet away or even closer for them to get the full benefit of my "fast ball". I'm much more comfortable when we are practicing indoors and I have a screen to protect me.
  9. Here is a link to the video from Channel 4 that I refered to in the post above. The article that goes with it mentions the broken "burning" trees towards the end of the story. If you click on the videos, there are still pictures of this at about the 0:24 mark. http://www.todaystmj4.com/news/local/90905649.html
  10. Bankjob, thanks a lot for the heads up. That's good information to know.
  11. Did anybody who did this, get there first issue yet?
  12. This morning on Chanel 4 (Milwaukee), as they talked about this, they showed video of some small brush fire and tress that looked like they were broken and smoldering. Where did this land?
  13. There is one reason I like listening to Uecker. Familiarity. He's the same guy I use to listen to in my room at home 30 years ago. It's a connection to my childhood. For that reason, it will be sad when he has to call it quits. Other than that, I'll agree that his game calling is really not up to par.
  14. I am so glad they didn't build Miller Park downtown. What a traffic headache that would have been. With Miller Park, I can go to a packed house, stay to the last out, and be back to my home in Waukesha literally within 20-25 minutes after the last out. Paul Molitor is starting to look more and more like Neil Diamond.
  15. How do you erase a pair of 3 run deficits and win 5-4?
  16. I must have missed this somewhere, but Suppan is starting game 3 of the current series against the Cubs?!? Why Macha..Why? You got a day off tomorrow! Yes, let's save Gallardo for the non-division rival Nationals.
  17. Like others have said, I think Hoffman will do fine against "non-Pujols/Holliday" type hitters (Friday's HR was a bit freakish based on where the pitch was located). What I find troubling is the pitch selection to both Pujols and Holliday. Why was he trying to spot fast balls against them? I can possibly understand Pujols with a three run cushion and one on. However, once it became a one run game and he had Holliday at the plate, it should have been a steady diet of change ups low and away.
  18. I can't find a video of it, but I seem to recall of play that Edmonds made in CF where he had to lay out to catch a ball that was directly over his head, to me it was much more impressive than Mays' over the head play.
  19. So far he's looking like Bob Uecker at the plate.
  20. Hey, I hope I'm wrong...and yes, maybe the positive spin is that this shows Fielder how serious management is about putting together a winning team. However, as long as Boras is Fielder's agent, I'm not going to get to optimistic about the Brewer's chances of signing him.
  21. To me, who's option it is is very important. I never view player options as being a good thing for a club. Seems to me, if a player accept a player option, then he most likely has not lived up to his contract. If a player has out performed his contract, he's probably going to reject the option year. Basically a no-win situation for the team. I'm very glad that they are guaranteeing that they get Gallardo another year or so but, and I know some will disagree, to me this point to further evidence that they are pessimistic about signing Fielder.
  22. According to the notice I got the other day, it appears that I got "19 HOF".
  23. I remember seeing this guy last year at Miller Park as well. I don't remember him doing the wild "fake pitch" move, but I remember the weird front foot movements and thinking, as ecjimg pointed out, that it seemed like a balk move. I swore he did this same thing with guys on base. I thought once you got set and then lifted that front foot, the runner is free to take off.
  24. This is what I am looking at, any feedback would be greatly appreciated: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i3+Processor+-+Quantum+Black/9703393.p?id=1218153394199&skuId=9703393 I know that there are cheaper laptops out there, but I was looking for something that was a little more robust than the $400 Wal Mart special.
