    Wait. WHAT? Do we have to wait for the book?

    Weeks always provided more upside. His downside if Gennett's upside. From most accounts it isn't like Gennett is a good defender either. But his name is SCOOTER. And he's short and white. He HAS to be a good defender.

    They won't find consistency until their back line can play mistake free. They were really lucky to not be down 2-1 at half yesterday (also, could've easily been up 3-0 -- had our lone striker ever bothered to worry about being offsides) They looked good, but I hate hate hate hate when they take their foot off the gas with a 1-0 lead and play middle school "kick it far and hope" soccer.

    You couldn't get rid of seats at the home opener? C'mon. I had 20 people asking me for tickets. You didn't really try very hard.

    I think it's mainly a lack of quality starting pitching. Not sure how a different manager or "leadership" changes that. [sarcasm]Leaders will tell the starters to pitch better. Duh.[/sarcasm] By fighting them in the dugout.

    I use it all the time, and at least for a CHase to Chase transaction, it generally posts within minutes of accepting the transfer. Yes, it's basically no different then writing a check, depending on the amount, or how your bank processes it, it will take more time.

    Actually they do improve your quick twitch muscle movements which is why sprinters are faster, baseball players hit the ball farther and throw it harder, and so on. They wouldn't have been so prevalent in the Olympics if they only affected pure strength. What use do swimmers have for pure strength? I'm not sure how this myth that steroids don't help baseball players first got started, but it's completely untrue. They won't help you hit a ball, but they will help you hit it farther. Just like they wouldn't help a pitcher locate a pitch, but they will help him throw it harder. I think the most likely scenario would be that if Braun is guilty he was taking something to stay healthy. Now you're just making stuff up. That is absolutely not true at all. Steroids add bulk, and tons of slow twitch muscles, and generate almost all of their additional mass in the upper body, when in baseball, the overwhelming majority of power comes from the lower body. http://steroids-and-baseball.com/medical-effects.shtml#DISTRIBUTION http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF00626282 http://steroids-and-baseball.com/DeVany.old/DeVanyHomeRunMS.pdf

    They are a great read, regardless if you've seen the show or not... if you enjoy Tolkien, you'll enjoy G.R.R. Martin. There are enough differences, and tons of subtleties that the show (obviously) cannot fully capture.

    He posts here, on occasion.... and his avatar is Rickie Henderson

    Sealed plastic bottles (no cans, no alcohol) and you can bring in any food you'd like.

    The problem with resigning Redick is two fold: 1) He isn't a piece that helps you win a bunch more games. 1-2, sure. So if you're a contender, sign him, if not, why bother? He is precisely the type of player (Old, over the MLE, not a superstar) that the Buck's should not sign or trade for ever. 2) You can get 80% of him for 1/4th the cost (or, y'know, with a second round pick like Lamb, who they traded away).

    The new Chef's stand can be hit or miss, but has some pretty good stuff usually. If I'm actually hungry at MP, I usually go outside, down the first base line on the loge level and get something off the grill. http://brewers.mlblogs.com/2013/05/17/what-john-and-cait-ate-the-plaza-grill/

    Miller Park brats are actually pretty horrible. Soft boiled and barely grilled doesn't compare to a fresh beer boiled and blackened Usingers.

    Here are the pitchers on the 40 man who are not in MLB or on the DL. Who would you have started from AAA? 70 Nick Bucci * R-R 6'2" 195 Jul 16, 1990 71 Johnny Hellweg * R-R 6'9" 205 Oct 29, 1988 67 Santo Manzanillo * R-R 6'2" 225 Dec 20, 1988 74 Michael Olmsted * R-R 6'6" 245 May 2, 1987 73 Ariel Pena * R-R 6'3" 240 May 20, 1989 68 Jesus Sanchez * R-R 5'11" 200 Sep 24, 1987 63 Tyler Thornburg * R-R 5'11" 190 Sep 29, 1988 Thornburg who pitched on the 27th? Hellweg who pitched on the 26th?

    That's a lotta crap. http://media.screened.com/uploads/0/1440/246515-shawshank_super.jpg

    He's always been hittable. He throws a "Rising" fastball, which causes lots of flyballs.
  18. Baldkin
    .....Really? As I hit 'submit'?

    I'm fine with Fiers, as long as he keeps pounding the zone. He looks like he fixed what was ailing him in spring training.
  20. Baldkin
    Here we go Fiers.

    Nobody is asking for "crazy", though. I doubt that anyone would characterize Powell or Provus that way. But they did have some semblance of a personality and vocal inflection rather than doing a Ben Stein impression. He has gotten amazingly more passionate as this season has gone on, but admittedly, it has to be tough to consistently bring personality and passion to the broadcast when nothing good happens for the Brewers.... well... ever.

    I have taken to "grilling" breakfast pizza. Boubolli crust, sausage gravy, some hash browns, half a dozen scrambled eggs... topped with meats and cheeses. Delicious.

    Welcome back, Marco. We've missed you.
  24. Baldkin
    Would really like about 9 more runs here.
  25. Baldkin
    Alright, boys. How about 0 outs on the bases?
