GenoSeligPreib often provides a rather well-written and articulate counter-argument to help balance out the over-represented enthusiasm on many topics. I am now rolling on the floor, doing that Curly Howard coffee grinder move, listening to Jethro Tull, chuckling while delightfully recalling some of GSP's best posts.http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/802/a1946ih.gif EDIT: REmoved the Sux.

    This logic states that game 162 is more valuable than game 1. It is more important, but how it probably should be stated is that winning game 162 is probably going to be a lot harder than winning Game #34. Which is why we had CC start that game instead of Seth McClung. Like in a 88-87 basketball game every point matters, but getting those last 3 points to go from 85 to 88 as time is running out -- is certainly going to be much harder (for the average player) than they would have been earlier in the game. Mathematically 1=1 so I see the "logic" argument -- but I think it should be obvious that each +1 win comes at a different degree of difficulty, and hence you need players that can win those hard games to go from 85 wins to 90 wins. I do not believe that players have "clutchy attributes" like they might in a video game, but I do think that some players are more likely to perform at their ability in pressure situations than others may be.

    CC joined the Brewers late in the season, probably when Ben starting to feel the effects of being over/misused. It's really only a coincidence IMO -- I don't think Ben "got mad" that he wasn't our aciest anymore.

    If they don't offer him arbitration they can't sign him until May 1, right? Nope. The new CBA deal eliminated that May 1st thingie. We could decline to offer Cappy Arby's -- and then resign him to a minor league deal.

    PF -- I think Castro has probably more "pitching coach" experience than most currently employed in MLB -- He may not have held the title in MLB, but I know he has done it in the DR. I think probably the only difference between their (Castro & Maddux) jobs last year, was the walk to the mound, and Maddux's shoulder grab of doom. Sveum I don't get -- He probably should have a bench coach, but Macha probably wanted to pick a bench coach he was familiar with. I think Sveum will be a good buffer for the established player regime and Macha.

    Castro 4 life

    I have another question -- I can buy a gas WH tank for ~$400 I can buy a power-vented one for about ~$800 I understand the power-vent ones you can vent out with PVC pipe which is pretty easy. How do you vent the non-power vented ones out of an old home?

    I don't think he was any worse in 2008 than he's been in his a career. I think he was worse in 2008. 3. They overpaid for Cameron I took this to mean that they are spending more than they hoped to in CF, not that Cam at $10M is a bad value. Maybe going into 2008 they had figured they could put TGJ in CF, or shift Hart to CF and put LaPorta in LF/RF or something like that -- when neither looked like good options, perhaps Cam at $10m is the only option they had.

    are the three tanks in the same place? or placed throughout the building -- how are they vented? Thanks!

    My electric water heater is on its deathbed. I will need a new one -- Here are my options as I see it -- Any input? 1.) Gas Tank -- My basement has a problem with ventilation -- I got a quote from a local Lennox guy and they said it would cost a lot of money to get the gas properly vented up to code -- plus I am not very comfortable working with gas, as I would be with electric. 2.) Gas Tankless -- They cost 1000$ and same ventilation problems. 3.) Electric Tank -- This option I am most comfortable with, but I am not looking forward to lugging tanks in and out of our basement by myself (I live in a rural area so installation will be costlty). Plus, if possible I would like to find something a bit more efficient. 4.) Electric Tankless -- I hear a lot of bad things about the stability of these machines... plus I think that they require 40 amp breakers, which I assume (in my old house) would require me to put a new panel in. 5.) Point of use -- Currently we have 2 places in our house that use hot water -- the shower/bathroom (just one in the house), and the kitchen sink. This is the most intriguing option to me, I was thinking of buying perhaps 2 units (one for kitchen, one for bathroom), the units cost about $150 or so -- does anyone have experience with these?

    We lost Jack Z as well.

    She was a marginally-attractive, somewhat-talented reporter. But very easily replaceable. I think for a "woman reporter" she came off as a genuine sports fan, unlike many others.

    Cirillo at 3B and Jenkins in either corner OF spot Corner almost OFs never win -- unless they are Ichiro.
  15. Fatter than Joey
    I'm in 5 paws from me... Dude -- you are losing to a cat, dressed like a pumpkin -- we can't allow it to win.

    I understand that many people would disagree with me. I'm just curious if there's actual evidence that purposely lowballing will end up with a more favorable outcome for the lowballer. Do business majors take a negotiating course or anything like that? This has to have been studied. I agree Russ -- I think the negotiating that happens is in the no-trade clauses and that sort of thing. DM is not a moron and CC's agent is not stupid either. DM will not offer $30M total for 3 years, and then CC will counter with $300M for 6 years, back and forth etc.... My guess is that both sides know what the $$$/years should be -- there are tons of precedents -- the haggling I think, will come in the other things, buyouts, options, no-trade clauses, limited trade clauses, how/when the money is actually paid, etc... If the Brewers make a weak/low initial offer -- that is only going to get more teams to throw their hats into the bidding.

    FTJ dominating the western Continental US. North Dakota is the last domino to fall. I used to live out in OR, so I spent a lot of time in the neighboring states. North Dakota pisses me off. True. Edited original comment. FTJ is afraid of polar bears. Who wouldn't be? Their diet consists solely of Eskimos and moose. I am almost certain I have been in WV and KY -- but cannot verify it. Not a lot of people have been out to OR -- That's too bad -- it's a great state to spend time in.

    Click here to see the gas prices over the last 6 years. They generally dip in the fall.

    I dont think that the election has much to do with it -- more that less people are traveling.
  21. Fatter than Joey
    Brad Nelson should get a wig and roller derby
  22. Fatter than Joey
    I suspect that gas prices drop every fall....

    I thought this episode was superb.... "Did Darrell touch you?" "When the hourglass strikes 3...." And the whole Cornell/cabbage thing was great.

    The 80% rule does not apply to free agents who are offered arbitration. Assuming this to be true.... The Brewers could offer him Arbys at $1-2M -- but then Gagne would come back with a counter-offer (perhaps $5M?) -- The Arbinator would then pick one or the other contracts... It's still a large risk for a low draft pick. I think he is done in Milw. unless he signs a minor league deal, which I think he could beat in the market.

    So if FtJ sours on Macha...will he be exhibiting "Pure Machiavellian Hatred"? I'm not through with Yost yet.
