    So, how come Charlie Bell keeps getting minutes? Can someone explain this to me? He's now at theworst PER in the league for anyone averaging over 25 minutes.

    Looks like the Bucks are all set to bring in Jerry Stackhouse. I just don't get it. Why spend money on that. Bring up some D-League guys and see what they can do.

    Honestly, I wish Conan would make the move to Comedy Central, after the Daily Show and Colber Report.... an hour show and really truly let loose and do his own thing. For the most part he's refused to "dumb down" (mass-appeal-ize?) his show to the earlier time slot, which has hurt a bunch, I'm sure.

    The difference between Braun and Kendall was about the same as the difference between Kendall and Parra, at least OPS-wise.... so I can see the logic.

    At least 7 sweetie points, Hawing. 2 wins over top 10 teams now for the Badgers. Both at the Kohl center obviously, but they won with Leuer playing his worst game of the year.

    I know it's a stretch considering he played more years as a Phillie and the same number of seasons in Boston, but I could see Schilling going in as a D-Back.

    So a guy retires, sits out a year, and changes his mind -- like Gabe Kapler -- he loses years on the HoF Ballot? That seems... odd.

    Can't believe how much this deal was for, considering Bay's deal. Looks like the Cards dropped the ball on this one! ZING! http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/7134/hollidaydrop.gif

    The Milwaukee totals I've seen have ranged from 3-6" all the way up to 12-18". I really wish the weather services would make up their minds!

    If Raines wouldn't have walked so much, if he'd had Dawson's OBP, converting all those walks into hits and outs based on his career BA... he'd have 3200 hits. Instead, he got on base more than Tony Gwynn, Lou Brock or Roberto Clemente -- all members of the 3,000 hit club.

    Kenny Lofton had a career OPS+ of 107, where as Raines was 123, that's really not even close. That's Casey McGeehee to Corey Hart last year. Those years, "After '87" when he was "Virtually done" he still put up an OPS+ of 115, higher than Lofton's career number. They really aren't close on the offensive side of the ball. Oh, and after '87, Dawson's OPS+: 114. Was Dawson great and a force of nature before he got hurt? Sure, he was. But, he got hurt. Lots of guys get hurt all the time. Should Francisco Liriano be a hall of famer? He was unbelievable before he got hurt. It's a sham that Dawson is in, and Blyleven, Alomar, Trammel and Raines are all on the outside looking in.

    Are you torrenting stuff? A lot of routers have problems and will shut down a connection if it opens up too many simultaneous connections at once. Also, are you sure no one else is pirating/pinging/attempting to steal your wireless? Is it exactly the same amount of time every time? Could it be a heat issue? If you have pets, hair gets everywhere, even in your router, and that can cause overheating fairly easily.

    A solid list of the candidates who actually have a chance to make it: My votes go to Trammell, Larkin, Raines, Alomar, Blyleven, Martinez and McGwire

    I'm not down on Redd, as a person or as a player, but he's just been terrible so far this year, which leads me to believe something is very wrong. If the guy is killing the team, with the one aspect he brings to the table (his offense) what is he doing playing 25 minutes a game? I realize the talent level is terrible, and they are probably trying to showcase him for a trade, but.... it's been brutal thus far. Having a PG who needs the ball in his hands to create (for himself and the team), a 2 guard who needs the ball in his hands to create (for himself), and a center who's a great passer, and wants the ball deep in the post to create for the offense just isn't going to work.

    Leur's biggest problem with going out after this year is: Where does he play in the NBA? He's 6'10 and 225, I can't see him playing PF in the pro's at that weight and he isn't quick enough to play SF. What a blow out win by the Badgers, maybe 11-2 and 3 wins over top 25 teams will finally get them ranked.
  16. Baldkin
    It sure worked great with Cassel and Allen. The problem is, Redd has moved beyond being a shooter/scorer and into a stagnant give me the ball, and stand there and watch me play type of guy and at this point he isn't quick enough to be that kind of guy. If he would run off screens, set screens, shoot solid open jumpshots and pick his spots for slashing to the basket he could be a valuable piece. Thus far this season, he's been forcing ugly shots and taking contested looks, riding his way to 33% FG from the floor and 26% from 3's. That's just horrible. Those are the numbers of a guy who shouldn't be shooting at all. (he's 45% and 38% from 3's for his career).

    Sounds like it's borked on their end. They are probably pulling the time, not from their own site, but from something cached on your machine that another website or simply IE or Firefox is using. "Hey, you last used Firefox at this time!"

    I'm not sure how people can say this?Escobar and Gomez and Zaun, from everything I've read and seen, are better than the 3 players they are replacing. Kendall was brutal behind the plate last year (After an amazing 2008) and Zaun is the best in the business at blocking pitches. As great as Cameron is, Gomez is a half step better and even if JJ was a bit above league average, Escobar could be the best in the league. We've replaced two black holes in the lineup (Kendall & Hardy) with two others, with more speed (Gomez and Escobar), although their ability to run may be hindered, due to batting 7&8 (please... no .300 obp's in the leadoff spot...) and they need to clear the pitcher. The downgrade offensively from Cameron to Zaun (considering their probable spots in the batting order) is significant, but I believe the upgrade from Looper to Wolf will more than make up for that.

    You're not trading for TMac to get better, you're trading for TMac to free up salary for 2010-2011. The Bucks are now 2-8 in games where Redd has played 20 minutes. They lost the other 2 games where he played less than 20 minutes as well.

    I worked for quite a few years as a credit card CSR over the phone... so here's my best advice for you: - Be cordial when you call, the first person you talk to will try to help you out with your problem but simply won't be able to, explain it to them, then request to talk to a supervisor. - If they say that the only reason for the raised interest rate was the returned check, tell them you can have your bank fax them a letter stating that the returned check was not your fault. - If they refuse to change anything back, Tell them you'll be leaving for another company with a lower interest rate. You can easily do a balance transfer to a new card, and many times they will even give you 0% interest for quite awhile on balance transfers up to a certain amount.

    If you do a lot of cropping and zooming and editing of photos, the Megapixels do matter, they aren't just some magical thing. To the average user who wants to show pictures to friends and post them on Facebook or get them printed out, beyond 5-6 MP they don't matter.

    I'd be shocked if they don't bring back Johnny Damon at the very least.

    http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200810013580503&c_id=la Perfect pitch, perfect location (it's gonna bounce on the back of the plate!). Hit 420 feet. It happens. Ben Sheets actually got hits. He might've done better if his eyes were closed. I think you're misconstruing the use of the word "luck" to mean more than most here want it to mean. In this context, all luck is, is random variance. Good luck, being variance in favor of the player (3 black jacks in a row) and bad luck being against the player (an ace after doubling down on 11).

    Coming off an up year, a playoff year, and a "normal economy" year.... and now they are coming off a down year in a poorer economy (remember, last year, most people renewed for 2009 before the economy completely tanked) I'm amazed at how much money they've spent already.

    If this freezing rain/ice storm thing continues in the Milwaukee area today, I may miss being with family for the second straight Christmas. Last year, after the 18" of snow, I couldn't drive my Corolla down our street because it wasn't plowed for 3 days.
