Fatter than Joey

Lame

It can also be pretty funny with one intelligent person vs. a dumb person. It can be funny with 2 morons as well Flame wars, it then can be concluded are awesome

Really what's the point of it. I dunno. What's the point of telling fat people they have a pretty face? We do a lot of pointless things, meanwhile Kevin Costner is continuing to make movies, AND covering classic rock standards. People have different ideas, why is that a bad thing? Well because people are different... Some people are bad, some people are good, some people are smart some people are stupid... Stupid people have stupid ideas, old people have old ideas, short people have short ideas, Cub fans pee in a trough. You can't bait me Edgar. Not anymore. Neil Gaiman quit trying in 1990. What if I start calling you "The KatBot 7500?" Apparently that's an insult that knows no bounds. I don't understand this at all, apparently some sort of nerd reference. A lot of fancy strippers put "K's" where "C's" should be, because apparently "K's" make people stop and take notice -- like Candy becomes, Kandy, or Corrine becomes Korrine... I assumed that is what "Kat" did. In a real life argument, there's no transcript, and there's not as much of an urge to get the "last word" in. I'd love for you to meet my in-laws, and argue this point. I used to get drawn into flame wars all the time, because I used to look around the internet and see what things people were saying about Brewerfan. That one guy said BF.net was like Arby's. When you said BF.net was not like Arby's, you may have well grown a ponytail.

I think it was an embarrassment that the Brewers even accepted the invitation to play in the playoffs. They should have just forfeited. Agreed, it was probably why they gave Suppan a start. I think post-teams college or pro hang banners when they achieve something in the post-season. It's a big park, ya gotta hang something up.

Dave Bush has a career ERA over 5 on the road This is meaningless -- Of course you know "The Road" is a composite of all the parks that aren't Miller Park. It only makes sense to look at the particular park, which obviously is a small sample, but in this case, the smaller sample has more relevance than "the road", if you are trying to guess what pitcher will pitch better in a given park or team. If you use your logic -- Bush has a decent 4.31 at Minute Maid in 6 starts -- In any case I do not see any statistical evidence that Bush should not pitch in Minute Maid. I like him at home against the Cubs personally. Unless I am missing something, Whoever starts GM1 in SF will start GM6 against the Cubs -- which could be Bush. I would definitely understand staring Yo at MP. He didn't want to open with Gallardo or Parra so he can keep the pressure off of them, a choice that I wouldn't make but I guess I understand his point I disagree.. I don't know what pressure would be on Parra or Yo in SF. -- SF is a poor offensive team, and I don't think their fans are expecting a lot out of the gate. I completely understand the logic behind this, though I'd personally start Gallardo. I'd start Bush in Game 1, and then have him pitch GM6 at home. That makes the most sense to me.

It sounded like he said, "I acquit." Agreed -- I think they will say Michael meant to say "I acquiesce"

Setting aside defense, I would rather have Prince Fielder roaming center field I think the preferred term would be "grazing", or "free range". Hey, leaving offense out of it, Tony Gwynn Jr. could start for any team in MLB! Actually I doubt it... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I don't know who this hardicourt fellow is, but, I'd have to disagree on his assessment of Miranda being a non-prospect. He'd moved up 3 levels in 2 years I think TH gets embarrassed when he is beaten to a story -- and rather than thanking the poster, he insults them. If Ned Yost and Tom Hardicourt started a public relations firm, it would probably fail. I guess in my opinion... Brewers' news is Brewers' news. Absolutely. We had posters last year from WV -- big Power fans -- while I personally don't care about this transaction, I certainly understand that there may be local fans of our farm teams that may really like hearing about this news. Glad I didn't get banned or something! Me too. You seem to be a decent guy, and I like the fact you guys don't pee in troughs like your south-side brethren.

Michael, I don't need to know everyone's sexual history... Well perfect. We have arrived at Kevin.

veteran Jeff Suppan has quietly made it clear he likes pitching to Kendall. Veteran Jeff Suppan should be more concerned about who is running down the line drives in the gap. Doesn't make any sense to me to have one pitcher get stuck with the backup all the time. I agree. I'd rather see catchers started based on who is pitching on the other team, rather than who is pitching on our team. Yo and Parra have made enough starts that it really shouldn't matter to them who catches.

I wouldn't have used it people wouldn't go off the deep end No one went off the deep end. Where's the problem? Some posters didn't like the way Villy was handled by Macha. basically it boils down to people quibbling over a single statement in which Macha didn't recall a single 2 inning performance... Macha was incorrect. When you are calling someone out in the press you probably should have all of your ducks in a row. What makes anyone on this site that much smarter, more qualified, or better at managing a professional baseball game? Superior breeding. Seriously? I'm the only one continuinually pointing that people are making brazen posts using flawed statistics so I'm upset? You seem upset to me. and you're misuse of statistics was a major factor in many people's opinions regarding both issues that Macha is being questioned on. I felt that Macha was overstating his case. I looked at the stats and found errors in what he was saying. The pitch counts did seem odd to me, which is why I said "What am I missing?" in my post. A lot of people expressed opinions before I popped into this thread. I was simply adding to the discussion. The older I get the more interested I get in the truth, or the facts. When I see someone misrepresented it doesn't matter matter if it's someone I regularly butt heads with on this site, a player, a manager, or a friend I'm going to take a stand for the truth. At the end of the day, no matter how thin you slice it, Macha was misrepresenting Villy's performance... Villy has not pitched as bad as Macha made it out to seem. I made the efforts to look up Villy's stats because what Macha said didn't seem right to me -- like you I was seeking out the truth. The way I see it I'm not the one who should be defensive... I should have phrased it "Why are you so defensive of Macha?" -- you don't need to be defensive of what you think or say, but Macha is going to never ever make everyone happy on this site -- it's part of his gig -- I don't understand posters continually admonishing other posters when the post about how they disagree with the manager.

Like Pyznarski, we got him from somewhere else. Pyznarski came from either the SD We traded Randy Ready for him.

Jim Adduci would be another

My friends and I were at the game were Chris Saenz shut out the Cardinals for six innings and we thought the Brewers finally had a pitching prospect. I was at that game as well.. Saenz was an emergency call-up -- I think he was pitching in the Indys last year.

I was watching a show where some people died from mold in their trailer -- Their brains just stopped working. Mold can be a huge deal.

MACHA-ED! No -- It's "Ma-cha-cha-cha-ed."

So he forgot he pitched more than 1 inning once... the world isn't going to come to an end. Macha could decide this weekend to transplant Villy's brain into McClung's body, and the world wouldn't come to an end. Why do people use that phrase? I know bashing the manager is fun and all, and sooner or later some clown will put up a FireKenMacha.com... Count on it... Managers for the most part are hired to be fired. it's Spring Training, why are we getting so bent out of shape over nothing? Why are you getting so defensive? -- Anything Macha says is fair game for criticism. This community has a very diverse opinion of how a MLB team should be ran. No one suggested he should get fired, you seem to be the only person that is really upset by this discussion -- otherwise it's just a bunch of Brewer fans stating their opinion on how Macha should handle things.

Tim Pyznarski

Exactly why a lot of the Yost venom was puzzling last season. It shouldn't have been, Yost was clearly a horrible manager. Different isn't always better. I'm not sure that we solved all the problems when we fired Yost. logan's numbers were way off, Macha didn't make anything up in regards to Villy... Macha was off on Villy's innings and appearances.

agreed... much like this... Estarda had a terrible approach at the plate yet he rarely struck out. it happens

Where to you work? Bose? He works for Arby's corporate.

Personally, I think the mods should cut off the use of the term "tard." ?? Where was that used?

I like the idea he's thinking out of the box a bit. I don't. There are probably 7 other guys in any given lineup I'd rather have leading off than Kendall.

you should go to the store in a Snuggie. Like a liquor store or a electronics store.

Haudricort and Witardo tend to pile on Weeks even though he wasn't anywhere close to the big problem with the team. It didn't help when the team demoted Weeks to AAA
