    Let me dust off my soapbox. As a law talkin' dude I can tell you that the legal system absolutely relies on witnesses telling the truth. It doesn't matter if it is a Grand Jury investigation, a trial, some random hearing, a deposition, or what have you. If people cannot be compelled to tell the truth, the whole thing comes crashing down. Some people may say "great, screw the legal system, it stinks." Well folks, the alternative is pistols at dawn. Why do court cases go on for so long? 90% of the time it is either A) One party avoiding any manner of a hearing where they would be compelled to tell the truth because doing so sinks their case or B) Somebody is lying. The whole Bonds thing would have been over 5 years ago if Bonds had told the truth. He decided it was not in his interest to do so (woulda been hard to keep playing ball) so he lied, and this thing went on. Keep in mind this is just an indictment. The classic saying is that you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich; the standard of getting an indictment is pretty low.

    What, farmer's don't have radios? Something has to break up the never ending din of cow flatuence. Might as well be a Brewer game, even though the sounds can be indistinguishable.

    Gagne is going to have a previously undetected strain of some sort, he'll be DLed so he can go throw some rehab. Either that or Melvin is bringing in a check for 10 million and saying "oops" a lot. The Weeks and Hall situations will also be taken care of. Dillon will play a few games for Hall, but you got me with what they are going to do with Weeks. My guess is that with his OBP and lack of options, not much will be done. Maybe an extra start for Counsell.

    I'm down on it, but where are we going to find trash bags and a rodeo clown at this hour?

    I make fake bombs out of pinball parts for terrorists. It pays well but I am terrified of VW buses. <--Actually, I is an law talking dood. I am currently without assignment, so I am Dad to a toddler.

    Ms. Zelasko terrifies me in a visceral way.

    Hall used one last year as well. With Hart using one too it must be a converted infielder thing. If they had grown up out there they would know which way the ball breaks and what not.

    I'm fine with the lineup. For everybody who wanted Yost to shake things up, well, they are shaken up. The only downside in playing in front of the rabid dozens in Florida is that the FSN mics can actually pick up the sound of Ted Simmons thinking. It sounds like "ohhhhmmmmmmmm". Either that or I need a new TV.

    Do what I do when I am getting killed in a sports video game, hit the reset button. Getting Weeks out of lead off would be a start. Then, according to my 2 year old, getting some pants on the sausages in the right field fun zone would help.

    "Gabbo is coming" You go in and it lists 5 places and times around Milwaukee/Waukesha where you can get a key mid-May. It says you will know what to do with the key once you get it. 1 Brewers Way is one of the places you can get a key. At least they are finding creative ways to empty out pockets.

    If I can watch Wayne Franklin pitch and Tyler Houston start, I can put up with the rest of the year. I ain't giving up and the season ain't over. What price in players would we have to pay to get a starter CLOSE to Yo caliber? Any opposing GM has us over a barrell. Still, I need to go DL Yo on my fantasy team.
  12. TheBwaz
    Oh sure, I understand. I didn't want to take away from what the team did on their own, it isn't their job to know ALL the rules. No mattter what SHOULD have happened, the result was epic.

    In most counties 911 is a unified service, especially counties with lots of people/goverment subdivisions. There was a big to-do in Waukesha a few years back when Butler wanted out of the unified system. People seemed to like it in Butler until they found out their taxes would go UP if they had their own system. It was cheaper to pool resources with the county rather than have their own system.

    Everybody screwed up. I was listening to the Unit on Wednesday and his intern pointed out rule 8.5.3.2 listed here. It looks like the ball should have been dead where it was (over the fence) and a PR brought in who could then go BACK, touch first, and touch all the other awarded bases. Seems pretty clear to me.

    I played "Shadowrun" a lot in high school as an alternative to dating (I had no alternative). I look forward to the end of this world and the return of magic in 2012. I'm looking forward to everybody I dislike turning into an orc or a troll.

    I would run over old ladies for a job in pro baseball. If the Cubs offered and the Brewers weren't hiring, I'd go. Work a few years, pad the resume, then start bugging the Brewers.

    Hey, that single mom and her kids can start the wave all they want. If they have the right to start it, I have every right to disagree with them in a non-profane manner. I paid for my ticket too and my opinion is thus: I hate the wave. If you try to start the wave in front of me, I will tell you I do not like it. I don't like the corporate stiffs in the good seats spending the whole game on their Crackberries either, but that is another thread. While I do not participate in the wave, and I went to Purdue so I am not on the "in" with the UW folks, my requests for you Freedom hating wave starers are as follows: (Totally channeling Colbert by the way) 1. Never before the 6th inning. 2. Never in a close game (defined as ours or the opposition's tying run being at the plate) 3. Preferably never when we are hitting no matter what the situation. 4. Its baseball, 3 strikes and you are out. If you can't get the wave going by the 3rd time, it ain't happening.

    Brewcrew: No, I do not really think that if we win it is in spite of Ned. That is, in summation, the prevailing attitude of the first camp. There is nothing Ned can do that is right and you can always argue the negative. For a stat obsessed group of folks (and that is a good thing) we lose sight of what stats can teach us. I'm simplifying but a .400 OBP guy is still gonna make an out 60% of the time. The past few pages have gone a long way to making my point: You either want Yost run out of town on a rail or you are content to let him have his last chance this year. The twains are not meeting. O/T, but why no fire Skaalen thread? You couldn't throw a dead cat without finding a fire Wynegar thread 2 years ago.

    I see two schools of thought in this thread, and neither the twain shall meet: 1. Ned is a bad/horrible manager. He is either playing the stats too much or not going with his gut enough (Hall on Sunday). If we win, it is in spite of what he did. If a player fails to perform, Ned is at fault for failing to put him into a position to succeed. He relies on matchups too much or not enough. Every loss is a Yosting because one can always take the fallback position that he is the manager and is ultimately responsible for the team's performance. Basically, anybody else, including one of us, could do a better job and you are insane if you can't see that. 2. Eh, he does okay. He beats looking for a replacement mid-season. Neither side can be moved. On to page 54!

    He's a mean drunk; they'll pick fights with their shadow.

    First off, Helms is flat out wrong; Jenks got cherred so much before his first AB Wednesday he had to step out. When he made a diving catch later, he was roundly cheered by the home fans. Second, if we all have the right to boo then players have a right to react to booing. Helms was the scapegoat for that '04 team, mostly because he tried to come back after San Juan too early and never got his form back. In his limited role in 2005 Wes performed pretty well in the chances he was given. Better than some of the other 04 pieces (such as Spivey). He never dissed Milwaukee, worked hard, and gave it his all. Now he gets to come back here and rub a little mud in our faces, so what? EDIT: Fixed hyperlink.

    We got Melvined last night by the 14 pitcher thing. Lefty pitcher, only Gwynn and Counsell on the bench aside from Rivera, Yo hits. I don't like 13 pitchers, 14 is insane. Sure, once in a blue moon you need all the pitchers, but like, what, once a year. As we hear after many losses "it was just one of those games". I'll channel my innser Sparky here and say that it only took 2 of those games last year to keep us home in October.

    Thanks for the positive comments. As to Ned sugarcoating, what else is he going to do? Throw guys under the bus 22 games in? I prefer the Yost style of Communist Party "all is well here" to the Ozzie Guillen "My whole team stinks" attitude. Yes, yes, Ozzie has a ring but we and the media create enough daily drama, I don't want the manager adding. Back on topic, I braved the rainstorm to take my toddler to Friday's for lunch. Park is looking good, there was a 15 deep line at the ticket windows (1245) and I am crazy excited. Bats are starting to swing and, even though we have been up and down, we are sill 13-9. "Startin' to come together Pepper. Startin' to come together."

    Yeah! First game of the year tonight. Due to illness and death (not mine) I have missed the other games this year. If you're looking for me, I'll be the drunk guy with sparklers. Go YoGa.

    Kendall had the stache coming into the season and got off to the hot start. Much like everybody in "The Natural" putting something on their bats (and the bolt on their sleeves) the team seems to be going for the stache juju. Most of them look like Kendall's (stache with the soul patch), so that is the theory that I am going with. For the, the correct answer on Villa's stache is that it makes him look like a 7th grader trying to grow facial hair; and succeeding. edit:spelling
