  1. I am a college student but have paid significant taxes the last two years... would I be eligible?
  2. I never understand why people will drive out of their way to save 3 cents or less a gallon on gas and then think they are smart for doing so.
  3. I would be ok with Blalock but you have to wonder if Doug is trying to use him as a decoy to get Rolen. I looked up Blalocks stats and they were about where I thought they would be. He is a lefty and has a solid OBP so I think it makes a ton of sense.
  4. I don't think we can count on LaPorta just yet to not acquire Cabrera.
  5. Why does it matter what side they bat on?
  6. I would take that trade for Sheets and they can even leave out Kershaw if they wanted.
  7. Bad trades never happen in real life? Aramis Ramiez trade? AJ Pierzsynski? There are many trade offers that would get laughed off by this site that DO happen in real life. So please do not act like you know it all.
  8. Then who is the judge of this? I am pretty sure everybody thinks their trade proposal is legitimate. This site has been a great resource for people to learn about baseball and I think we should keep it that way and not give them more ammunition on being elitists.
  9. I guess I do not understand why you feel the need to censor people's ideas because you find them to be unrealistic. It is very easy to not read them in the first place or like others have said, offer up your own ideas.
  10. I can see where the elitism comes from when posts like this are made. If you disagree, post to that poster, please don't preach that you know what players are worth.
  11. Don't post as often and then I would not have to worry about it. That was a joke, I will just drop it. Go Brewers.
  12. I really didn't know this was a message board, thanks for helping me out. Trust me, if there was an ignore button you could use for a specific poster I would use it. I am glad you get a kick out of living out your "glory" days by criticizing the manager on the internet.
  13. Well I just get annoyed how you put Ned under the microscope all the time and I was venting about that. Is Ned a great manager or even good? Not really, but he gets too much heat by all of the "experts" on this board.
  14. Well you never give Yost any credit for anything. Come on now.
  15. " never said all of the reasoning needed to be completely stat-based. I think at the very least though, simple logic should be applied to every decision." Well "simple" reasoning would say that you would never take out a player and give them a day off. But that is not real life and sometimes there are other reasons for decisions. I can easily tell you want to get rid of Yost but what manager does use your "simple logic" everytime? It is apparent you should apply for the position.
  16. "Now is not the time for days off. Braun is not a pansy. And a September pennant race is most definitely not the "perfect opportunity" for this nonsense." This is the most games Braun has ever played in his lifetime. I never said Braun is a pansy which is pretty childish to even infer that. Braun has been struggling at the plate the last two days and there was a right handed pitcher on the mound for a daygame after a night game. That makes more than enough sense for me.
  17. I think Braun needed a day off and this was a perfect opportunity to do so. Also, I agree with stoutdude04, we do not know everything that is going on and the circumstances behind every move.
  18. I am venting on all of the second guessers and geniuses that are everywhere. Ned Yost has made mistakes but people act like they have all of the answers and are 100% right all the time. It's pretty pathetic if you ask me.
  19. "If you say so -- he is a horrible 2b. I think he could be serviceable, but he has a long way to go before he is even solid, let alone great." Wow what a utterly wrong statement. Has he not lived up to our lofty expectations? No but to say he is horrible disregards stats. Rickie does not have a great batting average but he does have an excellent obp which is important for a leadoff hitter. His OPS is approaching 800 which is not "horrible" as you say. Players who have worse stats than Rickie currently starting at 2nd in MLB: Luis Castillo, Marcus Giles, Adam Kennedy, Ronnie Belliard, Kaz Matsui etc (that's just a few I could think of in the National League). To be a horrible player you would think that you would be at the bottom when it comes to stats for your position don't you?
  20. I am upset that the Brewers game is not on right now instead I get Texas A&M vs Fresno St! This sucks
  21. The Klements Sausage commericial... seriously... "AND CINCO!"
  22. This really shouldn't be called the "Official Vent Thread" rather it should be called the "Official Whine and Second Guess Thread after a Brewers Loss". It's only venting if you do it occassionally, not every loss.
  23. Show me one place where Hall is mentioned in this thread? Who said we would bench him or get rid of him? I mean could folks learn to read.
  24. Yes, one bad outing where he was in too long means he stinks.
  25. Yeah who wants to have a better team...
