    I always liked roundabouts and thought I understood them until I drove in Scotland and Ireland this year. Roundabouts with stop lights? Seems to defeat the purpose. I understand why when you have heavy traffic, but still it can be a bit much.

    Here is an annoying driving scenario I experienced a few weeks ago. I came upon a car in the left lane making a pass, but slower than I was travelling. No big deal. Just wait for them to complete the pass, move over and continue on. While in this alignment, a corvette runs up on me and starts flashing his lights at me to get over. While I'm behind another car and directly alongside the 3 slower cars in the right lane whom are being passed. And he persisted. Not a simple...double flash...oh my bad you are involved with slower traffic too. Just kept flashing them. Luckily I don't get road rage, but man that was annoying. And who the hell does that guy think he is by the way?

    I had a co-worker, knowing I'm a Brewers fan, ask me about Keon Broxton for fantasy baseball. Always a good sign when people are taking notice.

Kinston will be affiliated with the Rangers, whom own the team. Other location not settled, but looking like Fayetteville, NC is a leader. I'm ok with the Brewers moving to the Carolina League as I can now selfishly see the team play on occasion as a transplanted Marylander.

    As a motorcycle rider who rode in California, I can agree that high speed lane splitters are reckless. That is not why the practice is really designed. Sitting in a traffic jam is terrible on a motorcycle and not just because of the waste of time. Especially if you are in a warm/desert environment. It becomes dangerous. In that scenario, lane splitting should not be an issue. It is also quite useful to allow motorcycles to head to the front of a pack of cars at things like stop lights. I also feel that California wants more people to ride motorcycles because it reduces single drivers in cars, lowers traffic, lowers emissions, etc. Allowing that ability to split, especially traffic jams, is a huge incentive to ride. While the practice is illegal in nearly all states, I have found many are lax on enforcing it due to the advantages that it offers. When I lived in Hawaii it was very common to see motorcycles and scooters heading to the front of the queue at a light and nearly everyone was ok with it. Having a small vehicle pinned between two larger cars is not a great situation. One of my fellow Soldiers nearly got pinned between two as a car coming up to the light wasn't paying attention (texting) didn't realize that a motorcycle was stopped in front of them. Thankfully he was in gear and was able to dump the clutch and shoot out of the way.

    I live in the Baltimore area, so I hear about him all the time. He is having a fantastic season and should rightfully be in the discussion for AL Cy Young since it's wide open. He has given up 3 ERs this year in 50 IP. That's ridiculous. His sinker often gets mentioned as one of the most devastating pitches in the game. Chapman's has the headline heater, but Britton's sinker is a legend in it's own right.

    I've always liked the idea of handball and would like to watch more. Trampoline is pretty fun to watch...so much going on if you like flips and incredible height. I despise all the horse events. Shouldn't be a part of the Olympics at all.
  8. madbad2000
    Rugby is not my favorite to watch. We need Australian Rules Football to take off more.

    And I would think that the Brewers would never do that to such a valuable piece of the franchise. Stearns has said as much that Braun is elite and would require elite value to trade. The contract is not hindering our franchise one bit, regardless of what talking heads keep mentioning.
  10. madbad2000
    The answer to that would be a yes and a no. Most fans aren't going for the talent, but the experience. You have diehard team supporters and families. There are people out there that go out of their way to see top talent from either the home team or the visitors. And I'm not just talking about autograph hounds. I know because I used to be in that boat and would drive way too far to see a game. That is the "extra" draw that would come from a top talent. I'm not saying Corey Ray would draw in thousands, but some would come and affiliates do pay attention to things like that. I still remember Alex Rodriguez's debut in Beloit after he was drafted and went to the Foxes. Poor Pohlman field had a nice influx of people out to see the phenom. I'm ok with where they placed Ray and won't get too concerned until next year. Give him time to get situated in pro ball, teaching, conditioning program and full offseason to see how he responds.
  11. madbad2000
    Don't forget that Braun has a pretty robust No Trade Clause. So if a team that is not on his approval list claims him, you still need to work out an acceptable trade, compensation for Braun to waive his NTC and THEN deal with absorbing the rest of his contract. That is a lot of hoops to jump through and some team MAY think that is worth it to get his bat which is obviously elite. I don't see him as a realistic August trade candidate. The Dodgers would be the best bet if it does all the way. This offseason at the earliest if at all.

    I'll go with a pitcher...Connor Sadzeck.
  13. madbad2000
    I think there are plenty of us in that same boat. I'll be pulling for the Rangers to win it all and hopefully Jeremy can get a ring out of it. I have fond memories of Prince and Luc, so it would be nice to see some deserving players win one.

  15. madbad2000
    Who invited Debbie Downer?!?! Seriously though, that would suck.
  16. madbad2000
    Oh great, this just solidifies that fact that Stearns blew the Khris Davis trade and Nottingham is not our catcher of the future!
  17. madbad2000
    Wow...I will never lose that inner child...last line will always make me giggle. Nice return, glad to see things get moving.
  18. madbad2000
    The GIF on that tweet is amazing.

    Lets bring this thread back on topic and bring in a little more civility.
  20. madbad2000
    Something to keep in mind with the timing of the Miller trade is that is further incentive for Lucroy to accept the trade knowing the Indians are all in this year and next. You want to play for a championship contender? You can have two years of it if you say yes. Might lesson the demand to waive his NTC a bit.
  21. madbad2000
    Screw that...a trip down Bernies slide
  22. madbad2000
    Ok, that's pretty clever.
  23. madbad2000
    Yeah, at this point as dh...let him swing away until he gets a hit...pinch run and hug it out
  24. madbad2000
    Yep, we always appreciate insider tidbits. But he has not shared any information. Drop the Nuggets and get your props once we find out the official package.
  25. madbad2000
    Cool, have fun with that information. We would love to hear it, but we also do not like having it thrown in our faces. Either share or just keep it to yourself and giggle in the bath tub. No need to be like that.
