I haven't changed my opinion, but I think it runs deeper for some, in how they feel in drawing the line between confidence and arrogance. That is why I haven't changed my opinion, because I feel it was confident more than arrogant. I've seen far greater actions that constitute arrogance, IMO that have been already posted. I realize this is not basketball, but is it any different than when Michael Jordan had a blank stare after hitting a 3-ball? The game is not over, you still have to play defense, therefore, is the objective finished? Back-peddling on defense with your fist in the air and a blank stare on the face, is that so bad? -
Too bad that Anderson didn't see you run back down court with your head down the other 99% of the game, he should have had more respect for you, as I do for Braun. 1% does not a man make. That's too bad Anderson had to resort to physical violence to atone for a non-verbal response. It's like these gang-bangers who openly fire and commit murder because somebody "looked at me wrong", or "looked at my girl stupid". You want the last laugh, I encourage the Cards to try and win a big ballgame for a change rather than try and put a bruise in the middle of Braun's back for what was a non-verbal response.

The fact that you are talking about this and engaging in a discussion over a lengthy time shows that his silence and slow walk had some type of profound emotional change in you. So the answer, is that speech emotional, that it draws out emotion, has to be yes. The question is, does the speech bring out a negative or positive emotion in you. Obviously for the students, it was likely negative, but it could still be described as emotional. It's the same with the Braun homerun. He certainly had emotion. The emotions displayed were self-ability, narcisstic, and egotistical. But to me, that's an okay emotion of an adult to have once in a while given the context of the game.

I have to agree. This is really splitting hairs. Walking is the same as standing still in the box? If I didn't watch the game, I'd have thought perhaps he flexed his muscles, laid down his bat, took off his ankle guard, pointed at the pitcher, patted his belly, jumped on each base with both feet, all while the ball bounced off the top of the wall, in the 15th game of the season, in a 12-1 loss in the 3rd inning. Put your head down and run? Are you serious? Celebration comes in many forms and given the many other examples of players today, this was not close to being so negative to the game of baseball. The game of baseball has changed since 1920. Society in general has changed much since 1920. There is very much a "one-up" attitude amongst a lot of people and events. This does nothing to bring down the game of baseball. It wasn't poor sportsmanship. Our children's brains aren't damned forever for watching it. We don't have to play this what if game, as if the entire foundation and tradition of baseball is crumbling to the wayside because he walked the first 5-7 steps while thinking to himself something along the lines of, "Wow, I just did that". Standing in the box, and the pure definition of "pose" and "walking" are two completely different items. Yes, both are showboating, one typically crosses the line, the other doesnt. Taking the situation into context, rather than the face value of the youtube examples posted above is why I dont have a problem with Braun from last night.

What to do with J.J. Hardy - he's putting together a great year
lcbj68c replied to GB12's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I like JJ, I just wish he was a bit faster. How he got thrown out on that play up the middle last night is beyond me. Miles had no real mustard on that thrown and it looked like JJ was running half-speed. JJ is a perfect #2 hitter. Yost tried to overthink a little bit and play with his new toy in Mike Cameron. He figured it out and made the switch and all is good. -
I'm tired of his inability to know what is a "deep drive to left center field". It's similiar to 90% of fans who stand up and scream. People, it's a can of corn that is going to be caught 8 steps from the warning track. The premature excitement in his voice is annoying. But Bill Schroeder is worse. I understand that you played the game and therefore have insight, but I just want you to provide the game details and not try and dissect whether it is good or bad that the Brewers hit lots of home runs versus scoring via the sac fly.

So, Babe Ruth gets a pass?

How is his objective not over, because he still has to formally run the bases? Ball meets bat, ball is traveling 400+ feet, objective over! And yes, in regards to being a professional athlete, I would love to have the same freedoms as other players and not be restricted, because "he's a rookie, or young player." I don't understand comparing the responsiblities of children to the conduct of grown men.
-
Again, he did not pose, he walked and stared. He didn't even stand in the box, let alone flex his muscles, unlike what that schmuck Molina did after throwing out a baserunner the other night. On another note, is something wrong with Pujols pants all the time? After every Brewers home run, he feels the need to bend over and pretend to fix his pants/shoes, as if to say, "I'm not watching this". I've reviewed other home runs and he does this almost every time, as if he is too proud and pretends to be distracted into doing something else.

I have mixed feelings on this. It's is Brian Anderson's job to report on what is happening. ESPN will often begin reporting it on the breaking news tracker, out by out once it reaches the 7th inning. Brian Anderson is not doing anything different than any other reporter. The supersition exists in the dugout amongst players and coaches and that is where it should stay. Where I do have a problem is with the early reporting of the event. Atleast let it clear the 7th before it becomes an issue. 5 and 1/3 innings of no-hit ball is not that big of a deal, IMO.

He started walking immediately, he did not stop and pose. He started walking and watching with a non-expression on his face. Big difference in my opinion. He did not do a Barry Bonds and stand in the box with his arms raised, he didn't twirl, he didn't lay the bat on the plate and take off his ankle guard. He started walking down the line and watched. What ammunition? If they want to give us baserunners, great. It as if people expect LaRue to pull a Tonya Harding and hire somebody to take him out at the knees outside of the visitor's clubhouse.

I'm not calling you out, because there have been plenty of people saying it was a wall-scraper, you're just the last one to quote. This was by no means a wall-scraper. It was estimated at 407 feet. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/hrtracker The LF gap wall, at it's deepest point is 375. http://sports.espn.go.com/travel/stadium/index?stadium=mlb_2787 This gust of wind, a bird could come and fly by and hit the ball are what if's, it's and but's are coconuts, so to speak. It would seem Ryan Braun would know when he hits the ball 407 feet. Considering the CF wall is 400 feet, I have no problem with him not hustling for a "double". Given the trajectory, there was no way this was a double. Speaking to people who were in the ballpark, this was a no-doubter. The fans knew it, Ryan Franklin & the catcher both knew it, given their reactions and Ryan Braun certainly knew it. I think this, "could have been a double" talk is really a non-issue. That said, I dont particularly care for walking the first 5-7 steps, but atleast he started walking that way, as opposed to players who just stand in the box at watch. I also don't understand this "holier than thou" stance that the Milwaukee Brewers players should be different than another organization because "Wisconsin citizens have a lunch pail work ethic". It is what it is, don't take it personal.

At what point should the Cubs and their fans get nervous?

LaRussa: "I dont care if I ran out of bench players, I wanted to get the game over quickly and hit the nearest pub before the DUI checkpoints get set up" "Burp" -
I have to agree with John Briggs12. Am I the only one tired of hearing, "I'm happy with the trade. I just want to help my team win. I just want to get to the post-season and win a championship." The same old standard responses are quite melodramatic and boring. Not every response has to be rose-colored and so plain jane, so to speak. Most of the time, these reporters think they know the answer before they ask them, so it's great that Ned gives them an atypical response.

My wife did not have a problem with it. Then again, at the end of the day, you walk out in the sunlight and realize, it's all fiction! But then again, here in the office, I still can't look at a pencil the same way. -
I'm not a teacher, and this is somewhat off the beaten path...but I wonder if there isn't something else you are qualified in that would enhance your resume? It looks as if you like softball/baseball, so perhaps you should list that you may also be interested in coaching? It seems a lot of schools would be looking for individuals who could serve those dual purposes.

I think it went long because, in my opinion, they were trying to set up for the next film. I even said that to my wife while watching the film, that it seemed after the Joker was apprehended, that they were trying to build storylines for later, rather than close lose ends. Nolan had already said that he planned for 3 films and had come to an agreement w/ Bane for all three. Though, other written sources have him saying,"we'll see". I'm guessing he just wants to milk this for all it's worth before hyping something else. Given the open-ending, I don't see how we don't see a trilogy here.
