  1. My cousin and I back a few years ago would just create like 45 year old super star players, sign them to one-year deals and trade them away. They'd retire after one year and you'd easily get 1st round picks for them. It's pretty easy to get all first rounders for them, and then I'd acquire some good young players with those draft picks.
  2. Whenever my wife does something that thoughtful, I generally mess it up by saying something like, "Yes... your training is coming along nicely. Everything is progressing as I have foreseen..." I'm contemplating on upgrading my console (I have a PS2) before purchasing Madden. I'd like to get a Wii since it gets you physically involved in certain games rather than just sitting on your couch. Has anybody tried the Wii version?
  3. That thread over there is hilarious. Other posters' comments that made me laugh: LOL! Good thing for us we have a university sporter to advise us childish country bumpkins about baseball. Worldly, what does that mean. That you've been to Perth?
  4. Oh, man I forgot about Kronik! Short-lived, but exciting. Wasn't his (or Clark's) finisher at that time like a cobra-clutch style chokeslam? I haven't watched wrestling in a few years, and I haven't yet really found any reason to go back to it.
  5. Does the standard text-messaging rates apply? I don't text message often, and I think it's like a dime for me. I'm cheap, so that's too pricey.
  6. The article I read also mentioned the Benoit incident, and I don't think they should really link the two together. They were both wrestlers and likely used steroids, but Adams didn't suffer from the psychosis that Benoit did. They make it seem like steroids caused the Benoit thing, but the level of testosterone in Benoit's body didn't suggest "roid rage." Adams tried his hand at boxing too, after his WWE days but a shoulder injury caused him to retire from that sport before his first bout. If he were training to be a boxer, I would think with the testing involved there he has probably been clean for a few years, unless he was using recreational drugs or something after that. I can't find anything on what he's been up to after about 2003. My heart goes out to his family. If congress thinks that the sacredness of baseball is being tarnished by steroids enough to launch their own investigation, why hasn't there been more investigation into pro wrestling where former athletes have been passing away prematurely increasingly in the past decade? Is the all-time home run record more important than dozens of human lives?
  7. Use this link: http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=mil
  8. eDayonksHay. Unless you are a Pig Latin instructor, your students won't get it.
  9. Yup, there will be a TV series on ABC (either this fall or as a winter replacement series) featuring the Geico Cavemen commercials. The synopsis I read said it will focus on four cavemen living in present-day Atlanta, dealing with everyday life.
  10. You and me both, brother. But to echo everyone else, this guy was just looking for trouble. Just because your avatar isn't offensive to you doesn't mean that it isn't offensive to others. "It's the name I use for my fantasy teams!" Well good for you. But if others find it offensive, it shouldn't be used here plain and simple. I just can't believe he refused to see how it could possibly be offensive and stick with the hockey jersey with the Star of David on it (which was really cool, by the way).
  11. IMO, the stats I'm worried about right now are not ERA or WHIP, although it's good to see we're still ok there. It's the blown Holds and blown Saves right now that are killing us.
  12. Two words: Adult Diapers. Like the astronauts use when on earth on kidnapping missions.
  13. Wasn't this deal rumored before the draft, and KG basically said he'd just opt out of his contract as soon as he could if it went down (which I believe is after this season)?
  14. Bonds tested positive for amphetamines last year (which he found in Mark Sweeny's locker), so I'd say no to that theory. Also every player is tested during spring training, with random testing done throughout the year. I think that was probably MLB just waiting for the appeal process to be completed. Obviously having star players on the juice looks bad for MLB, but even worse would be MLB covering for them while a federal investigation is going on.
  15. My uncle once told me that you could challenge that your speedometer was off. Of course you'd have to spend the time and money to check it, so it might not even be worth it. Especially for only 5mph.

  17. Yeah, I think he got a save when they finished the suspended game and then got another one later that night.
  18. Woops. Sorry Casey. Oh, and I've been meaning to ask you - if the Brewers end up with a winning record, are you planning on changing your name to Casey2007? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  19. I'd disagree. Nobody is saying "Pence Sucks," or anything along those lines. But Braun has basically put up the same numbers as Pence in 100 less AB's, as a previous poster pointed out. That's a pretty good analysis. Out of curiosity, what stats prove that Pence should be considered ahead of Braun? Because a side-by-side comparison of their stats shows the contrary.
  20. I don't have the game on TV, but will somebody please tell me they saw Yost grab Estrada and scold him?
  21. The NFL today decided to keep Vick at home indefinitely, which gives them more time to sort things out punishment-wise. Apparently the Falcons were about to announce they were suspending Vick for the first 4 regular season games, but Goodell thought that might prompt the NFLPA to appeal that and bring it to arbitration, so this was a preemptive strike on their part.
  22. I also heard yesterday on the radio that the NBA knew about his gambling problems last offseason and were investigating him. For whatever reason, they continued to allow him to referee games knowing he had accumulated substantial gambling debts.
  23. So is Benoit's value greater or lesser than Otsuka? Otsuka has a much better track record and has more closing experience, but it seems right now that trading Benoit would be "selling high" for the Rangers, while the injured Otsuka would be "selling low." If Gwynn for Otsuka was nearly a done deal, what would you propose for Benoit?
