Raw Biz

This is probably more for 2010 but I would like to see Prince traded for pitching, LaPorta in Left (Braun to Right, Hart to Center), and Gamel at First.

http://news.bostonherald.com/blogs/entertainment/step_up/?p=117&srvc=home&position=recent This was written a week after Prince announced his diet change. It talks about how it could have an affect on his body makeup. And I thought the last quote was great, though I don't remember hearing about it. Matter of fact, I think his wife even mentioned that if she notices any decrease in his power production, she's going to feed him a steak. If she said that, I think it's time for her to live up to it.

Like I said, I (and I'm sure a lot of others) aren't making person attacks because he isn't playing well. People noticed the difference at the beginning of the year when nobody knew how he was going to perform. Now people are just saying that maybe there is a correlation. I don't think anybody here dislikes/hates Prince and is attacking him personally just for the sake of doing so. We're just evaluating his body as an athlete. If a guy comes into camp out of shape, are the coaches going to say "we can't talk to him about it because it's a personal attack?" No, it's part of the job to be in shape.

I don't see how anyone can say that Prince doesn't look different this year. This isn't a knee-jerk reaction, at least not for me. I've been saying Prince looked bigger as soon as the season started. And you know what, a lot of people have said the same thing. This has nothing to do with his production because a lot of people have been saying it since Day 1 of the season. It just so happens that he seems to have gotten fatter and his production has fallen off. Is that just a coincidence? Maybe. But they could also be related. Nobody can say for sure either way and it really gets me mad when people say things like "if he was hitting like he did last year, we wouldn't be talking about it." Well, he isn't hitting like last year and he does look more out of shape. His defense is worse (wasn't that great to begin with) as well. And people (fans, scouts, etc.) in general have been saying since he was drafted that he was too big to play 1st and would eventually become a DH. Last year the guy just looked solid, with a lot of muscle on top of his fat. This year it looks more flabby and he looks like he might be gassed more easily. This is a thread about Prince's weight and a lot of people agree that he looks bigger. For people to just claim that this thread wouldn't exist if he was dominating is stupid. Maybe they would say "hey Prince's weight gain must've really helped his power cuz he is just crushing the ball this year." But he isn't dominating, though I wouldn't necessarily say he's struggling mightily either. But he definitely isn't playing anywhere near the level he did last year. The point is, he looks bigger to a lot of people so just leave it at that.

Actually, she wasn't his wife at that point. That's where Spielberg had met her and they didn't get married until about seven years later. And while Temple isn't as good as Raiders or Crusade, it's still a good movie. I think it takes too much criticism, it's better than most sequels (though technically it was a prequel).

The numbers 6 and 4 best trades are the same.

Yeah that was me. I don't think the guy would just make something up and it could have just been a one time thing. But he also said that Prince just crushed handfuls of Doritos over his salad too. I've talked to a lot of people and they all think Prince looks fatter/more out of shape this year. It could be his baggy uni but I really do think the makeup of his body has changed. Even if his weight is around the same as last year, he looked "harder" last year whereas this year he looks more flabby.

I really cannot stand the Simpsons anymore. I used to watch them all the time but it got old after the first 10 or so years. Now I absolutely cannot stand to watch it. Family Guy is funny at times but whenever I watch it, I think of the South Park episode where they say it was written by manatees. Family Guy is basically a loose storyline with random, sometimes stupid clips. However, Stewie definitely makes the show. Family Guy wins but South Park destroys both.

I have a 37'' LCD LG that I have had no problems with. I did pay $1800 for it though but that was pretty much the average price when I got it 2 years ago. If I were to do it over again though, I'd probably get a 42''.

I swear Rickie wants Gagne to blow saves. I believe that is now 3 double plays he has botched with Gagne pitching this year.

Anyone else miss Vasgersian?

I don't know why everyone has a problem with guys watching their home runs. I can understand if a guy does it after every one he hits but sometimes it's cool and fun to see someone with a good home run pose. I think that can make the home run even more memorable. Everybody knows the one Braun had last year against Houston and a lot of it probably has to do with his reaction after. I don't really consider it showing up the pitcher, especially if the hitter doesn't even look at him. If he's just watching the ball, how is that showing up the pitcher? The same goes for pitchers who get fired up and pump their fists after strikeouts. The only time I really think somebody is showing someone else up is when they point at them or make some sort of gesture toward them. I think people are just getting too uptight about stuff like this. I always enjoy a good home run pose and wish I could see more.

Can't you just plug your ipod into your computer and using itunes, drag all your songs off your ipod to a folder on your computer.

Madison.

Finishing up first year of law school. Hopefully be a lawyer in two years. Roofer during the summer.

Pinky easily. When I first started I could barely play on medium. Now I can play most songs on expert fairly easily. It just takes a little getting used to but it's really not that hard.

Well I just took my property exam yesterday and so this stuff is kinda fresh in my head, though now I'm studying from my criminal procedure exam. I wonder if you might have a case for an implied warranty of habitability with the crazy chick. There is an implied warranty when you sign a lease that you will be free from nuisances and that your living space will be generally livable (reasonable expections). I wonder if a crazy person wandering into your apartment repeatedly and calling the police on you for no reason, especially when the landlord had knowledge of this woman, could be considered a breach of that implied warranty. I wonder if you could also make a case out of feeling threatened with her constantly coming into your apartment. There is a duty for the landlord to take reasonable care in protecting its tenants from harm, although I guess this is a rather weak case. I wonder about the implied warranty though. Maybe one of the lawyers here can shed some light on it?

Any Brewer besides Dillon or Kendall chases that pitch.

Nice camera work.

This is pathetic.

I think I liked it better when we knew the Brewers were a bad team. We always expected a loss and when we won, it was a nice surprise. Now they have so much talent but just can't seem to put it together. We think every game they are going to snap out of it but we keep getting let down.

Wow, never thought it would be possible to get out of that jam without any runs.

So I just watched the new trailer for The Dark Knight and I have to say, those two minutes were more entertaining and enjoyable than all but two or so Brewer games of the past few weeks.

"You don't score, until you score."

Sweet, it was Yost. Maybe the team will do something now.
