    That was my thought as well.

    There is no judegement call on a ball that hits a runner. It is automatically a hit, even if it would have been a routine play.

    The 3-2 pitch was awfully close to let go, especially with the bases loaded. He has to protect. If you want some really good laughs, read the cubs game thread at nsbb from yesterday.

    To add on to what yount 19 said, you want to pay off the highest interest loans first. Car loans and credit cards generally have higher interest rates than mortgages. If you have 3 loans at 4, 6, and 8 percent, you would want to pay the minimum on the 4 and 6 percent loans, and pay any extra cash towards the 8% loan. Once the 8% loan is paid off, you would apply all the money you were paying on the 8% loan to the 6% loan while still paying the minimum on the 4% loan. In the long run, this will save you a ton of interest expense.

    I would assume the rate of 4.75% will be locked in for 30 years. Until you can make more than that rate by investing, you are best off putting extra money towards the mortgage. If MM rates, or CD rates, rise above 4.75% then, at that time, you can put your excess cash towards investments instead of the mortgage. Also, you are right that you will get taxed on any interest income that you have on the investments. But, you must also calculate the tax savings into your mortgage rate. You will most likely be able to itemize, so the effective mortgage rate will be closer to 4%, or a little less. If you wind up just short of being able to itemize, try doubling up on your real estate taxes. That way you may at least be able to itemize every other year.

    I would use a hidden camera of some sort that is recording on a laptop. They are cheap and fairly easy to setup. Otherwise, I would set up some sort of motion detector. If the grill is moved, a siren goes off. Make the guy go deaf for his attempt.

    I would tell him he could come along, but he'll have to share the back of the truck with your new pet goat.

    Weather like this almost makes me happy that Soup is the opening day starter.

    Did a light switch just get flipped off that controls the opener and outlet?

    I just had it done a couple weeks ago. Not at Lasik plus, though. I agree with Paul that it was the best money I ever spent.

    I am a Redd hater. However, this is horrible for the Bucks. They lose one of their top assets, and get nothing in return. The team was not going to win a championship with Redd as the max player. However, they could have used him to help turn the team into a championship contender. Not only that, but I hate to see any player go out with a major injury like this.

    I don't think that this is correct. What RoCoBrewfan is saying is spot-on. It will take a larger person longer to get to a .08 than a smaller person, but research has shown the effects that alcohol are the same at .08 for someone 100 lbs versus someone 300 lbs. With experience being intoxicated and concentration people learn how to hide their impairments more, but the effects on reaction time and hand eye coordination are the same.I think you are missing his point. There is a baseline of driving skills needed to pass a driver's test. While sober, some have skills that well exceed the baseline, while others (elderly and blonds) barely pass that baseline. If someone can pass the drivers test while at .08, who is to say that they are more of a problem than a poorer driver at .00. The person at .08 may be impaired compared to their sober test, but they are still skilled enough to pass the driver's test. It's like saying 80% of 100 is still better than 100% of 50.

    Dominic James started as a freshman, and averaged double digits. He must be a lottery pick.

    It sounds like you are greatly undervaluing defense, just like the Bucks have for years. The Bucks have enough offense with Redd, RJ, and Bogut. They only need a PG who plays good defense and distributes the ball to the scorers. Also, Conley is younger than both Sessions and Alexander. Sessions is horrible on defense, and Alexander appears to be the same. RJ is a huge upgrade defensively over Yi.

    In the NBA, you need superstars to win a title. The only team in memory that has won a title without a top 10 player in the league, is the Pistons from a few years ago. Conley has the best chance of becoming a superstar out of those 3 players. He would only be a junior in college if he had not come out early. He also plays much better defense than any guard on our current team.

    A person who gets 2 hours of sleep is impaired compared to them getting 8 hours of sleep. A person who eats, or talks on a cell phone while driving is impaired as well. A 25 year old has one drink, are they more impaired than a totally sober 70 year old? What I am getting at, is the .08 drivers aren't the problem. The .15's, the .20's, the .25's are the problem. The repeat drunk drivers are always up in that range. The fatalities almost always happen in that range.

    I have no problem with harsher penalties for people with multiple violations. However, I would not want harsher penalties for 1st time offenders unless they raise the limit. The current rate of .08 is too low. I can not remember seeing a person from .08 to .15 causing a fatality. All of the ones in the J-S series, the drivers have been over .15 that I have seen. Most of the multiple offenders are also well over .10.

    Is the fortune teller his wife?
  19. olliegjw
    They just said he dislocated his left thumb. They popped it back in last night, and it is swollen today. They said he will play tonight.
  20. olliegjw
    Heard that Hardy was playing catch, and maybe taking some swings today. Looks like he may try and play tonight.

    PM sent.

    Gamel was sent to Milwaukee with a sore shoulder. He is not available.
  23. olliegjw
    Why do I fear a walk-off wild pitch?
  24. olliegjw
    time for a suicide squeeze.
  25. olliegjw
    I think Gameday is broken. It just said the Brewers got two run scoring hits in a row.
