  1. Why all the hate for the "Quality Starts" stat? I mean, six innings and three runs is going to keep you in a ballgame. What other metric should we use to judge this? Is it because it doesn't take into account the defense behind him or the number of walks issued?
  2. oops, i'm an idiot.
  3. Mollica's on National, Fiesta Garibaldi, Long Wong's, etc...
  4. This certainly has the stink of intrigue. We'll see.
  5. Having Macha as our manager is kind of like having your grandfather as the manager. He's not afraid to tell you what's on his mind, but because of the generation gap, he's always gonna word it in some way that makes the most mundane information sound fascinating. Always a good interview.
  6. So I deleted my erroneous Brad Nelson thread, but the question remains; What do we do now to now to improve the production from our bench? Is Hank Blalock still available?
  7. I really don't understand this "sell high" theory. Scouts aren't dumb. Especially scouts for the Yankees. They know who Billy really is. One good month is not going to make them believe he's all of a sudden an All-Star. The sell-high theory only works for struggling stars or players who are prospects that are late bloomers, like Rickie Weeks for instance. Even then, who knows if Rickie can keep this pace up. Either way, we're not swindling the Yanks out of a starting pitcher of any worth for Billy Hall. And since we're winning, why trade a starter who plays great "D"?
  8. i say the best values in town are located in the vliet neighborhood (just south of Tosa by the Times cinema), Riverwest, and West Milwaukee. But i guess it depends what you're looking for. West milwaukee is walking distance to miller park!
  9. 40oz PBR is my tailgating drink of choice. Gotta get one for tomorrow!
  10. Thanks Rigdon, I called the group number and they referred me to Catering. I guess the 40-person pavillions are 200 bucks per game. But, to reserve it I have to go through catering, whose number is 414-902-4740. I believe they also have 80-person pavillions for anyone who's interested.
  11. Does anybody know the cost and who to contact to rent out a picnic shelter for a game at Miller Park? How often do they usually book for friday games in early may?
  12. Why not hit suppan? It's not like our bullpen has proven it can pitch three scoreless very often. Just Coffey.
  13. why? Even if it didn't work, you're better off pitching Coffey there then letting DiFelice give up the game. Ultimately, its the players that get it done, I just think that the strategic shift from defined "roles" for relievers to using the best for the situation is better.
  14. Hart at 6? Why even pitch to him at that point? And Cameron at five is not enough protection for Fielder over 162 games than Hardy would be.
  15. I'd rather wait awhile before pulling the plug. Hart has been hitting well ahead of Braun and Fielder. If those guys start to hit, he's going to be seeing even better pitches. Hardy is kind of a tweener. You never really know where to hit him. But, with Rickie going well and Hart going well, why move either one for our coldest hitter this side of kendall?
  16. I thought about calling this the "Reasons Macha is better than Yost" thread, but figured I'd keep it positive. Todays reason: Macha putting in his best reliever with the game on the line in the seventh inning. Yost would have saved him for later when it no longer mattered.
  17. Hey GormanHarvey, you are right, steaks are amazing on that thing. And thanks for the tip to try Kohl's. It was the 200. Perfect tailgating size. I'm going to replace it soon. And I'll be sure to lock it in the trunk like usual!
  18. Thanks for the advice guys. Usually i do put it back in the car, but this time i was with a friend who had a nice VW Taoureg and I wanted to make sure it didn't mess up the interior before I had a chance to clean and empty the drip tray and such. Learned my lesson!
  19. Flight School is actually by T-Pain featuring Kanye West, and it's not on iTunes yet.
  20. I concur. I definitely see a much more patient offensive team this year. If only we can turn that into wins now...
  21. To the person who stole my grill at opening day on Friday... I hope you needed it more than me. I hope you realize I cannot afford to replace it. I hope you know you are responsible for my lack of steak eating this summer. I hope you know you've ruined my trust of tailgaters. I hope you were a Cubs' fan. I hope you really, really enjoy it. If you sell it, I hope you buy something useful, like a conscience. If you see this post, and are feeling guilty, it's not too late to leave it at my house anonymously. PM me from a friend's email or something and i'll give you my address. Thanks all for this chance to vent.
  22. I thought Brewerfan was better than this. These knee-jerk reactions are starting to resemble a Cubs' message board. Weeks is 0-for-3 since getting hit in the face, let's bench him! I mean, c'mon.
  23. That's why you don't walk anybody to get to Yovani!
  24. You give Suppan as long a leash as it takes for him to wrap the leash around his neck and make a giant sleeper hold. That way, he gets to relax, and nobody has to throw him under the bus. (I'm not suggesting any kind of physical harm to what I'm sure is a marvelous man. Do not take this literally). But if we don't have a better option, I don't know what we replace him with. The real rotation is almost exactly as alligned, with Suppan at the end. He only started today because he was the most experienced.
