    He also denies he ever had a gambling problem Did he also provide an explanation for how all of his money and his son's signing bonus money happened to magically disappear, then?

    I'm very surprised that Bevell's run isn't on there, as that Rose Bowl win put Wisconsin sports back on the map, and they haven't left it 15 years later.

    Per Haudricourt, Melvin hasn't talked to the Padres at this point. http://blogs.jsonline.com/brewers/archive/2008/02/24/no-truth-to-gross-rumors.aspx

    It really is astounding to see how far Inman's star has faded over just a matter of months.

    Anyone else think that in the pictures of the bobbles, they look considerably cheaper quality than in past years?
  8. PeaveyFury
    April 6th is surprisingly early for a bobble day.

    I remember Chris Paul being considered a possible top pick but that was before Bogut became NPOTY IIRC. He never was seriously considered after that. That's how I remembered it as well, FWIW. There was considerable discussion about Bogut or Williams, but Paul wasn't mentioned much.

    With all the festivities surrounding our lauded hero's return, I don't understand how some of you are finding time for bickering. I baked a cake with 3TO on it.

    2.65 million, per Tom H. Actually, it's moderately odd that they were so close to going to arby, and Hardy ends up settling for less than the half way point. http://blogs.jsonline.com/brewers/archive/2008/02/15/hardy-s-deal-is-for-2-65-million.aspx

    So if I'm reading that correctly, he actually tested positive in November of 2000?
  13. PeaveyFury
    Well, I'd think this finally removes the "he's never tested positive, this is a witch hunt!" defense from any remaining supporters. If this is legit, I'm not sure how he didn't perjure himself.

    In Wisconsin primaries, (and only primaries), you have to vote straight ticket. E.G., if you vote for a Dem, you can only vote for other Dems.

    I'm a much bigger fan of NL baseball, but I certainly miss the AL rivalries. I'd be fine with the change if there's actually any truth to this, and it is also true that a move would probably help the Brewers as built immensely for 5 or so years.

    I'm going to invest it (less the cost of an iPhone). Probably the same here, at least with the rebate.
  17. PeaveyFury
    Assuming you get a refund! As bullox said, he's probably in a situation where he at least won't have to pay additional money in. And more importantly, all he has to do this year is file his return by April 15th and he'll get a $600 check in May or June.

    134 IP is very easy to replace. Sure it is. But it's replacing it with that quality that is a huge problem. Throwing a warm body out there because he'll give you 135+ innings is not even close to the best thing for the team- that's how you get stuff like the Jimmy Haynes Experience. So unless you've got someone in mind that's going to throw at least 135 innings and match those number put up by Sheets, I fail to see how it's a plus for the Brewers.

    I just want to address a couple of things here to lay things out a bit: If someone is being reprimanded or given a 'strike' by a mod or staff member here, it has nothing to do with your point of view or the argument that you're making. It's because you broke the rules set forth by the site in the Rules of Conduct and under the 3 Strikes and You're Out policy posted in this issues forum. IE, if you post, "Sheets' injuries make him a liability to the team and he doesn't help us down the stretch you moron" and get warned by a mod, the warning has nothing to do with your views on Sheets, it's because you called the other poster a moron which is a violation of the Rules of Conduct. No one is getting strikes because of what point they're making, it's how they made it that is the issue. Now, while this case wasn't as blatant as calling someone a derogatory name, that basic concept is what's happening here as well. If there is a disconnect here as there seems to be with what you consider condescending vs what the site sees as condescending, that's not unreasonable since in this case you're a new poster. What 1992Casey was conveying to you when he warned you, though, that what happened here was condescending based on the board's standard, and asking to tone it down going forward. That's pretty much it- it's not a big deal, and while I'm not an admin or someone with banning power at all, it's not like you're on the verge of being banned for life or anything like that as a result of this initial warning. Hopefully that clarifies it a bit for everyone.

    But I was criticized for pointing out a logical fallacy. No, you were reprimanded for the WAY you pointed it out, not for pointing it out. That seems to be what you're not acknowledging here. And no, the comment isn't patronizing, "darn" or otherwise. Yes, it was. The webster's definition of patronizing: pa·tron·ize: to adopt an air of condescension toward : treat haughtily or coolly And by the way, using "darn" is prohibited plainly by the rules. Kindly point out where, please. As you'll find, it's actually expressly pointed out that even "damn, ass, hell, and piss are currently allowable". Does the relationship of "the board" with ennder and toolivebrew go beyond us all just being "posters"? That seems unlikely. If "the board" doesn't want to answer say that rather than being evasive or non-responsive. Ender and toolivebrew are simply posters here, just like anyone else, as mentioned previously. If they swear or violate any of the rules, they'll be reprimanded just like if you would.

    It's not like they can't replace what he's given them the past 3 seasons. I don't think they'll be able to easily replace a 3.63 ERA, .249 BAA, .682 OPS against, 5-1 K:BB ratio, and 8K/IP at all, even if it has only been for 134 innings/year.
  22. PeaveyFury
    Its hard to imagine anything that would be more valuable to a forum that is overwhelmingly dominated by stat-heads, than being able to point out logical fallacies. This is very true. There is absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out the problems with an argument or disagreeing with something one way or another, no matter what side you're taking. And that's clearly not the issue here- it's not what you were arguing or arguing against, it was that you did it while talking down to someone. THAT's the problem. You ought to look up the definition of "condescension" as well. From Webster's dictionary: con·de·scen·sion: patronizing attitude or behavior "LOL - YO - helloooooo... " is pretty darn patronizing. What is your relationship with ender and toolivebrew? I don't think that's unreasonable to ask. I don't think it is either. The board's relationship with ender and toolivebrew is that they are posters here. It's also the same relationship that the board has with you, or valpo, or rluzinski, or don1481, or whomever.
  23. PeaveyFury
    And if the use of "lol" is forbidden, it should be stated in the rules. From the Rules of Conduct under "What kind of language is not allowed? Try to refrain from using AOL-type speak. It smacks of pre-teen. Your posts are more likely to be taken seriously if you spell 'you' with more than a 'u.' Also, our membership includes a wide range of age groups, and frankly, not everyone will know what you're saying if your posts read like a text message. You make no reference to his repeated statements that openly claimed something which the statistic openly stated that it didn't provide. Its hard to come up with a scenario that would apologize for that behavior. Trying to prove/claim something that isn't specifically backed by a stat/stats is not against the rules. Condescension is clearly against the Rules of Conduct.

    It would not be bad PR if Sheets once again is going through injuries and this team can get some pieces for the team to stay toward the top. If he's going through injuries, you're probably not going to be able to trade him.
