  1. I've got a buddy who is the IT director for the local Budweiser distributor here in San Antonio, and we've gotten his work seats a few times to go watch the Missions. Our seats were right behind home plate, and amazes me is watching the movement on pitches and seeing it from that angle is really great! Of course, my buddy is sitting there guessing the MPH on the pitches within 1-2 MPH before the stadium gun puts it up. I'm not a scout or anything, just possibly an insight that might shed a little light as to why scouts are physically at games.
  2. MAGNIFICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, just had to!
  3. To borrow a phrase, "Izturis is who we thought he was"....and that's not a good player. So why not try Bianchi? He can't be worse than Izturis, can he? Maybe he brings a spark that ignites something, maybe not. But why not try?
  4. Rule #1 about being a homer....DON'T CRITICIZE YOUR TEAM!!!!!!!!! But, really, here's the question....if you had the opportunity to get Daron back instead of BA, would you? Current issues notwithstanding.
  5. I think we can all agree that his chances of using PEDs are extremely low....so, since the ones that have question marks aren't getting in, why not the next guys in line?
  6. Well, a Greinke, Yo, Thornburg, Wolf and Fiers rotation looks a whole lot better than a Yo, Wolf, Thornburg, Fiers, Estrada rotation, doesn't it? I would say give the best offer possible to Greinke without breaking the bank, and fill in with younger guys.
  7. Ugh. I'm excited for Thornburg to show what he can do, but at what expense? I sure hope Marcum isn't down for a long time. Any glimmer of hope the Brewers have of doing ANYTHING in 2012 is having excellent performances from all pitchers.....and so far, that hasn't really happened, has it.
  8. Shoot, let's start throwing stuff against the wall and see what sticks. Stetter, bring up Rogers as a BP arm, why not?
  9. No Branyan??? The injustice of it all!!
  10. 31 is the ghost of Jeff Suppan.
  11. OK, so I actually looked at the pic on my computer, with better resolution than my phone....and check out the guy all the way to the right, wearing the red Hawaiian shirt....chewing on his fingernails.....at first glance I thought Suppan had jumped into the pic! That's funny!
  12. Dunn has as much of a chance to make the HOF as his pseudo-lookalike, Will Ferrell, of winning an Oscar for best actor in a drama.
  13. What I hope this does is shoot them on a dominating performance through the end of the season! But outside of that, just shows that even if Roenicke isn't the perfect in game manager, he keeps the guys loose and builds camaraderie.
  14. AT&T bugs me. For whatever reason, my wife's name was on our DSL bill, and we have wireless service with them. We called about changing our service, because it was getting expensive, and the person my wife talked to said we could save about 20 bucks a month just by putting my name on the account instead of my wife's and we can link the wireless and DSL together. Cool. We didn't install any new equipment, changed nothing, and it has been hassle after hassle the last 2 months. Just getting it set up, I had to call 3 times because service worked, then didn't, and then did. We've had times where we had no service, or slow connection, and it wasn't the router, wasn't anything but on AT&T. I call Monday night, talked to a guy, he runs a test to "optimize our DSL", and amazingly enough, IT WORKS GREAT! UGH!
  15. Sadly, yes. I'm not one to complain about calls, but wow, in a playoff game, there were some insane calls and no-calls. I admit, I have Spurs-colored glass, but wow. I am happy the Spurs showed up and battled. They just stopped going to the hoop in the 3rd quarter and were nowhere close to hitting the shots they were in the first half. I just hope they reload for next year.
  16. I am very glad that the Bucks traded Stephen Jackson...and that Golden State traded Stephen to my Spurs. 4 3 point shots for the Spurs in the first half! Awesome, awesome!!!
  17. Here's the deal. The Rangers have made the World Series the last 2 years and fallen just short. Hamilton will be a FA, and will likely get big bucks elsewhere. Feliz is hurt, so why wouldn't they look to strengthen their pitching staff? I'm sure they'd explore Greinke, as well they should. I agree on all acounts. Which is why we're focused on the Rangers as a landing point for Greinke. I'm simply stating I don't believe the Rangers will make Profar available. If the Angels were in the same situation, I don't think they'd make Trout available, and Profar is in that same league. I think a guy like Mike Olt, Martin Perez and a third prsopect is very possible. Very true. And maybe it's not Profar. Granted, a SS would be our top priority, but maybe it's a 1st baseman or 3rd baseman. Or more pitching. The Rangers system is pretty stocked!
  18. Mine were from 1986-1995 or so. I threw them out, because they were overproduced and really, pretty much worthless. Now, looking back at it, I'm glad I did. Those McGwire, Canseco, Sosa, Clemens and Bonds cards really aren't worth anything.

  20. Looking forward to seeing what Tehfiers can do in his shot!
  21. If they don't sell and the product on the field stinks, the attendance will suffer. This seems to be where things are heading. I hope it's not the case, but it seems like the product isn't going to improve, then you either bring up the younger guys, give other guys a shot and start looking to the future. I really believe Greinke could net a good haul of 2-3 solid young players with great upside.
  22. Ryan Braun could pitch better than Bill Hall could ever dream of pitching.
