  1. Dear Mr. Gallardo, This is the biggest game of your life. Good luck. -Brewer Nation P.S. San Diego has the fourth best road OPS in the National League. Extra good luck and pitch location wellness.
  2. All of these guys are free agents, and we should consider all of them, IMO: Jeremy Affeldt COL Jorge Julio COL Joe Kennedy TOR Byung-Hyun Kim FLA Ron Mahay ATL Trever Miller HOU Rudy Seanez SD Mike Timlin BOS Luis Vizcaino NYY Bob Wickman ARI Jay Witasick TB I'd especially like to see us go after Affeldt, Mahay and Seanez. I'd also try to trade Turnbow and something else for a decent, young reliever. My main target this offseason would be Joe Nathan from the Twins. I was talking with some Twins fans at work today, and we came up with something like Bill Hall and Matt Gamel for Nathan. Joe is an awesome pitcher, and I'd love to see him if we don't get Cordero back.
  3. Or in his case, people who really missed their calling and ended up being major-league managers. I'd love to see a cage match between Yost and our Resident Hipster. I would Yost Yost so hard he'd think he Yosted himself.

  5. The conspiracy against the Cubs will be proven when Buck Coates starts jacking everything out of the park this weekend.

  7. Wait... Kelly Stinnett? That Kelly Stinnett?
  8. To this team's credit, they aren't going quietly. That's especially encouraging for the future.
  9. Anderson has gotten a lot better as the season has progressed, and he has a real nice, smooth southern-tinged baseball voice. He also makes baseball-knowledge gaffes at times, and at other times doesn't seem sure of his own calls. I think he's fine, and will in time be a very good baseball broadcaster if he sticks with it.
  10. The question is pretty simple. I have my money on 85 wins to top the nogoodniks from the north side. Meaning, we have to become pretty myopic on 85 or + wins. What does everyone else think?
  11. You know, I'd love for the Brewers to reach 82 wins, and I have little doubt they will, but this pails in comparison to what could have been if they don't make the playoffs.
  12. I saw this on the Cubs telecast... Piniella had clearly crossed the third base line before going back to the umpire to make the double switch. It was a rules violation. Will Mackannin's (alright, I have no idea how to spell his last name without looking it up) protest result in anything fruitful for the Brewers? I doubt it. I just wish the Reds bullpen had been less fruitful for the Scrubs.
  13. We have about a 1 in 3 chance at making the playoffs at this point, so I've been wondering what everybody thinks about some of the "playoff moves" and other things the Brewers have done if it turns out that we don't actually get there. Should Yovanni Gallardo, arguably the future of the franchise in the rotation, have been extended beyond his prescribed innings limit? Should we have given up Will Inman, Steve Garrison and Joe Thatcher for Scott Linebrink? Did not bringing up Ryan Braun at the start of the season have any impact on this team? Has Ned Yost cost this team a playoff spot with his moves? Were the Brewers smart to keep Ben Sheets despite his propensity to miss games, which well may have proven crucial in this race, or were the games he actually pitched in too valuable to give up? How many games has the bullpen cost this team?
  14. A few members of my family have sleep apnea, but my father has it acutely in particular. About 5 years ago, he did the overnight sleep study... he tested positive for it and his doctor later assigned him some breathing exercises and IIRC, a light sedative. After a few more tests and tweaks, it was diagnosed that he was out of any sort of danger zone. As for trwi's comment, yah, I could never do the test. I am an exceptionally light sleeper - you'd have to sedate me to get me to fall asleep with anything foreign attached to my body. I can barely get to sleep how it is. And sedation would ruin the test, I assume. I don't snore at all - I am just listless once I fall asleep. Good luck, though, with the sleep apnea treatment. Apnea can be a pretty serious thing without treatment. I'm glad you were diagnosed correctly.
  15. Hah, balk-off is in the game. He's lefty and old... why didn't we trade for him?
  16. Is trading the chance of LeFave turning into something better than having less than 10 meaningful innings from Ray King? I don't know, but that's why I don't run baseball teams.
  17. This is beginning to look like an OOTP box score.
  18. A starting pitcher getting into the 7th inning? Wowee zowee.
  19. There are few things I enjoy more than watching Todd Coffey pitch.
  20. Wow, Prince is red hot. It'd be a shame if we missed the playoffs and Prince lost the MVP because of it.
  21. http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n49/brewerfanx/Photo53.jpg Briefly after I got done listening to another indie album...
  22. I mean, if the owners even brought this up in the next CBA talks, they'd have to give up 2 years of arbitration just to get past the shock. I am not on the fence about this - if a child is conceived, and the due date happens to be at an inopportune time for the player involved, it is up to him to decide what to do about it.

  24. Shouldn't a network that plays videos host the video music award show?
  25. Put me down as "I don't care, as long as we get there."
