  1. David Beckham could be walking next to me on the sidewalk, in a soccer jersey, and if it didn't have his name on the back, I wouldn't know who he was. I would imagine this would be true of at least 95% of Americans. I'd guess that James would do more for basketball in Europe than Beckham is doing for soccer in America simply because Europeans appear to have at least some interest in basketball. I've tried to get into soccer as well, but I'll be snickerdoodled if watching ants build an anthill isn't more exciting. Guy passes a ball to another guy, who passes it again, then it gets intercepted by the other team, repeat. It's not that it isn't high scoring, it's that there is almost no chance for it not to be incredibly low scoring. In baseball, you might see a 2-0 game, but you also might see a 15-8 game. You can even get 7-9 goals in hockey every once in awhile. Soccer, not so much.
  2. False. The Braves chances of making the playoffs are so slim that a loss might move them from a 1.01% shot to a .95% shot. Realistically, they are only still technically involved in the playoff race. On the other hand, the Cubs are legitimate competition for a playoff spot. I'd much rather legitimate competition in front of us lose than a team that has little chance behind us lose.
  3. It would take every registered member of BF.net actually donating (not just pledging to donate) around $6,500 in order to pay for just one year of Sabathia.

  5. Games of interest, centrally timed: 12:10 - Marlins @ Mets - J. Johnson (2-0, 3.34) vs. M. Pelfrey (10-7, 3.85) 12:35 - Pirates @ Phillies - J. Davis (1-1, 2.57) vs. J. Moyer (10-7, 3.78) 3:05 - Dodgers @ Giants - C. Billingsley (11-9, 3.01) vs. M. Cain (7-9, 3.60) 3:10 - Braves @ Diamondbacks - M. Hampton (1-0, 6.75) vs. B. Webb (16-4, 2.93) 7:05 - Cardinals @ Cubs - C. Carpenter (0-0, 1.00) vs. R. Dempster (12-5, 2.93)
  6. DiFelice, Iribarren, Nelson, Gwynn, Dillard, Stetter, Dillon and Rottino are on the 40-man and have no reason not to be brought up. Pena is on the 40-man, but right now, you'd have to wonder how much he'd help. Escobar is on it the 40-man, but what would he do? Palmisano would be unnecessary with Rottino up. Gallardo will be up if healthy. I'm unsure about Gibbons, but I'd add Nix to that list.
  7. 1) No offense, but the day I start basing my opinions on radio talk show hosts is the day I donate my brain to science. Radio talk shows pander to the most basic of fan desires, and have little basis in what makes a good team good, IMO. 2) If on the last day of the season, for whatever reason: A Cardinals loss would guarantee Brewers entry into the postseason, or a Cardinals win and a Brewers win would get us there, I'm cheering like hell for the Cardinals to lose. I'll lose my way into the postseason any day.
  8. Mark Mothersbaugh? I have no idea.
  9. As Al said, it's a wonderful problem to have at any position. The Brewers are blessed with depth at a number of positions. They're not a top 5 club anymore, but they'll be pretty close again soon with all the young pitching and position player depth if they don't haul off and trade a bunch more guys. BA's ranking of the system before the season (#21) was indeed a head scratcher.
  10. They could, but he's not a very good outfielder, and he has a lot more value catching 4-5 times a week.
  11. Fryer has nowhere to go... he's following two top 10 prospects in Lucroy and Salome. If Lucroy is the guy in the Cleveland trade, move Fryer up, but if not... Eric just has to bide his time. Speaking of the Cleveland trade, can we just find out who that guy is? I'm sick of following Green, Lucroy, Brantley and Cain and wondering "which one?".
  12. He'd pretty much have to win all but 1-2 of his starts from here on out, and have the guys in front of him implode a bit.

  14. Since teams have played a differing numbers of total games and extra inning games, the team with the fewest bullpen innings wouldn't necessarily have the most starter innings, though they would probably be up there in most cases.
  15. It's Damon Krestalude's turn in the rotation tonight for the Baby Brewers as he and Adrian Rosario figure to continue flip-flopping starts in the piggyback system.
  16. Games of interest, centrally timed: 2:55 - Cardinals @ Cubs - T. Wellemeyer (8-4, 4.01) vs. C. Zambrano (12-4, 2.76) 6:05 - Pirates @ Phillies - I. Snell (4-8, 6.14) vs. B. Myers (4-9, 5.34) 6:10 - Marlins @ Mets - S. Olsen (6-6, 3.87) vs. B. Stokes (debut) 7:10 - Braves @ Diamondbacks - J. Jurrjens (10-7, 3.12) vs. D. Haren (12-5, 2.75) 8:05 - Dodgers @ Giants - H. Kuroda (6-8, 4.21) vs. K. Correia (2-6, 5.53)

  18. Craig Counsell pops out sharply to the pitcher 20 feet away. Josh, my man, you're letting me down!
  19. I drive through Omro a couple times a year, and man... I miss it more each time! I have many fond Omro memories... that pizza place where Highway 21 turns and goes over the river and the cheese shop across the street, the gun shop that my sister's ex-husband's father owned that no longer exists across from that shady looking motel and club on the east side of town, Club Omreau, fireworks on the 4th of July that were being set off by obviously drunk technicians, and the Kwik Trip. Plus, proximity to Oshkosh, Winneconne, Zion and Redgranite!
  20. Not defensive, offensive! http://lbegley.googlepages.com/banhammer.jpg
  21. What does this article have to do with Yost? Please keep the wanton Yost bashing in the Vent/Yost threads.
  22. I have $5 on Ukraine to win it all. http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=4814&rendTypeId=4 Ukraine is not weak!
  23. New Orleans, Luxembourg City, Omro. Especially Omro.
  24. Just lots of practice. I too used to be serviceable with them, but I only ever used them sporadically. For whatever reason, me and the lady have been making/going out for a lot of Asian cuisine recently so I've been using them nonstop and no longer think about it when I'm using them. I even ate my cereal with them the other day.
