    All those runs are earned? Not that it matters. We all need a hitting clinic. Or maybe hit the bar before the game, that seems to help sometimes.

    I say Root for the Cardinals. I'd rather have all 3 teams about even heading into the All-Star Break than 1 team out in and front and the Brewers even. I think it is a pretty good conclusion that the Wild Card will come from the central. Therefore, I think we have better odds with 3 teams even with each other fighting for two spots than just Brewers/Cardinals fighting for 1 spot.

    8 in, plus our fearless leader....we're good to go!

    We went 1-2. Our two losses were against a couple of really good powerhouses.

    In. If the Fireworks leave us shorthanded, my dad will be attending the game as a patron and would have his glove ready if neccessary.

    As far as I know, he hasn't filed his retirement papers, is under contract and should have been treated as such until the league confirmed his retirement. The Packers "moving on" before then was silly. He'll show up for training camp and then the Packers will have a big egg on their face. Don't forget tristar that this thread won't last. LambeauLeap.net needs hits to satisfy their advertisers. http://lambeauleap.yuku.com?topic=639

    I agree. Furthermore, I could care less what he says to the press. As long as he doesn't pull a "We are who we thought they were" "Come After Me, I'm a Man, I'm 40" or a rant similiar to the now-Fired Seattle Mariners coach, I dont blink an eye or take it with even a grain of salt.

    Brawndo, I thought I'd emphasize that I am only speaking on behalf of what the thread concerns and not trying to engage in an argument over Braun vs the 9 players you mentioned. And again, this is just in relation to the question posed in the title thread (Fukudome vs Braun). Braun to me is the Star, Fukudome is just well known and well-liked in a country an ocean away. I wouldn't even consider him a superstar on the field. Pat Burrell and Carlos Beltran are absolutely Stars and deserve argument for the ASG in addition to their statistical production. But in the purpose of the thread, Braun vs Fukudome, the obvious star to me is Ryan Braun.

    I guess that is just where we disagree. While I have no problem w/ Beltran, Bay (to some extent.. I guess a Pirate is needed), and Burrell being in the ASG, I dont see a need for Brian Giles to be there. This game, despite having some meaning (Where game 7 of WS gets played, if it comes to that), is still just an exhibition. It's an exhibition for the nation. It's not an award ceremony. They hand out player of the week and player of the month awards for productive players in the first half of the season. It's an All-Star Game. Deserving or not, Fair or Not, I could give two clicks. The game is a chance for players with Star Appeal to play together and put on a show for the nation in an exhibition. You want to play in an All-Star Game, how about start by being the best and most popular player on your own team (in relation to McClouth).
  10. lcbj68c
    Did you also take into account his ability to act?
  11. lcbj68c
    McClouth, a star? :Sigh: This is why I think it is silly to reward All-Star berths on statistics. Especially only statistics from half a season. Nate McClouth, a star? Really? See here's the deal, for me personally. I am going to shell out hundreds of dollars to attend an All-Star Game, I do not want to see Nate McClouth roaming the outfield over Ryan Braun. And that's not, as it seems to be claimed, through homer-tinted goggles. Ask 90% of baseball fans all over America and I'm sure the answer to the questions, Who is the Star? , Who do you want to watch play?, and the answer is Ryan Braun. The All-Star Game should be a reflection of fan popularity and star appeal mixed with quantifiable results. (For Example, Pujols should not make the game if he tears his leg off in Game #1 and sits the DL all year). Simply because a player has a nicer OBP over the previous 80 games should not be an argument for making the All-Star Game. If I were a Pirates Fan, I don't think I could look at myself in the mirror with a straight face and claim, I'm gonna go buy a pair of tickets to the Pirates game tonight because I want to watch Nate McClouth roam the outfield. If Pirates fans can't even say that, why should the Baseball Nation as a whole want to watch him in a game designed to bring out the stars?

    13th out of 30 sounds about right. I'd love to get a long term deal for Hardy done. The problem with your list is that it doesn't break the tier's down evenly. In that one tier will have 3 players and another tier have 9 players. You have JJ at the bottom of the average tier, but yet at 13, he's almost around the top 1/3rd of the league.
  13. lcbj68c
    Fukudome has nearly about as much claim to "stardom" as Braun, if you're just talking about fame. I'm not talking about Fame. I'm talking about being a superstar on the baseball field. I dont care that they may erect a statute in his honor somewhere in some country that the MLB does not currently play in. I dont even place any votes. But I do enjoy watching the All-Star Game, because I enjoy seeing the "Stars" of the Game. While I believe KGJ's game is certainly stiff, he certainly still has star appeal? You think a great majority of those votes are from Cincinnati fans, yet Adam Dunn gets no love? Absolutely not. America, as a whole, still believes KGJ has star appeal and they want to see him in the All-Star Game. Nevermind the fact that his half-season is not better statistically then Aaron Rowand, Rick Ankiel, or whatever other schmuck the nation has no desire to see swing a bat in the All-Star Game. Hence, If I did vote, I would vote not based upon statistics at all, but rather, who'd excite me to watch swing a bat. Therefore, Ryan Braun...easily over Koskue Fukudome.
  14. lcbj68c
    Oh, I think he is very well loved. But I don't think he is a star.
  15. lcbj68c
    I disagree. Just because the All-Star game is played every year, does not mean it should be an "award" only to quantify what the player has done that year. They have "Player of the Month" and "MVP" awards for those types of things. All-Star Games are meant to get the "Stars" together. Not to award players for having the best 3 month performance to start a season. That said, Ryan Braun is a star! Ken Griffy Jr is a star! Fukudome is well liked and well known from his home country. But I've seen nothing yet in the MLB that makes him a star and therefore worthy of the All-Star Game. Sure, other guys have nice stats over the first 90 days that maybe Braun doesn't excel in, but come on. This is the All-Star game...a game for Stars, not an award for mediocre players having an above-average half-season.

    The problem is, their "core" group doesn't have a lot of talent, whereas the Brewers core talent does. I don't think they have been out of Canada long enough to make any headway on developing a farm system and major league team. I give a team 6 years from time of sale before rendering their strategies as productive or not. See: Tampa Bay Devil Rays

    1) Fielder wouldn't be the face, Wright already has that job. No way. I was there in April and Wright was only the face with the 16-35yo female crowd, which I'm gathering is maybe 10% of the fanbase? Beltran and Reyes were easily more of a face than David Wright.
  18. lcbj68c
    I meant quick work by KPD in a sense that they got the word out and took the threat serious enough.
  19. lcbj68c
    I wouldn't have a problem with trading Fielder and Sheets at the deadline. However, I dont see needing to replace Hardy. Weeks, yeah, he can go. But Hardy, according to many, is a top 10 in defense at his position.
  20. lcbj68c
    Are the chances of signing Sabathia in the off-season really 0% ? I dont know much about Sabathia's history or age, but is he worth Santana money given those things? If we throw Santana money at him, he would certainly resign? No? We probably can't get both Santana and Sheets. But how about 6yrs at 120M for Sabathia? Is 6 yrs too long? How long until his decline? I realize these are a lot of questions, but these are the questions I have before I can make an opinion.

    Amber Alert Cancelled; Quick Work by KPD.

    I dont follow the Dodgers too well. If Prince goes to the Dodgers where does Loney go?
  23. lcbj68c
    W-L record is not the only way to judge a team. Come on now. If Seattle goes and beats the Red Sox 3-0 in a series, are they suddenly the better team because W-L over those games says so? That's so short-sighted. In terms of pure talent, the Brewers have the more talented 25-man roster. Will the W-L record reflect that at the end of a 162 game season, who knows. That's why you play the games. I think better and talented are two different things and relying solely on standings in the newspaper isn't a good enough barometer.

    Thanks Jimbo. I stand corrected. I pitched 3 games.
  25. lcbj68c
    Is my memory that bad? Or was there a second outing that I'm forgetting? I thought there were some walks when you pitched. (Not trying to be a jerk....) Anyways, with RazzzorNick out tonight, that opens up 3B, so we can take SS/3B in some combination. I pitched two games. I researched the box score and it caught my eye. I personally don't remember the feat, but if Jimbo says it's true, it must've happened. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
