    They (IRS) would probably have a prettty difficult, if not impossible, time making this a criminal tax evasion case. That said, it would be good if Prince came to an understanding with teh IRS on this ASAP, but we don't know that he hasn't already done so, either. I'd bet that he probably has, and that's why this thing has sat kind of quietly for so long. WIthout all the facts it's hard to assign any blame to anyone here. It is quite possible that Prince put his trust in someone else to handle this, and that person failed him, That person may even have deceived him with respect to the handling of this andor other related issues. That would not absolve Prince of all responsibility for the current situation, but he would not be the first (or last) to arrive in that box by that route.

    Well, it was important to see Wells take one step around the bag at third.

    Even with being a little bit off, I was really hoping Bennie was going to go into at least the 8th with the no-no going. Thought he had a shot at it, myabe even a bit better than normal by being just a tad effectively wild.

    No, there is no getting out of the tax debt for Prince, regardless of the circumstances. Now, if his dad was acting in a capacity where he owed some duty to his son in terms of handling these finanacial matters, Prince could sue his dad for breach of that duty. But how's he going to collect? Given that, how would suing Cecil, with all the bad publicity that would create, do anybody any good. And even with all the bad blood already out there, taking a parent to litigation pretty much tops everything off.

    Well, the Brewers are about middle of the NL pack in runs allowed, but have scored more runs than only the Nats and the four teams under .500 in the NL West. If you think the pitching holds about where it is now, but the offense improves to where many think it should be operating, they have a decent shot at the WC. I'd just feel a lot better about this team if they quit playing so many close games, because sooner or later the pen issues will get worse than they already are if that continues. Riske needs to come back strong. If Gagne can do anything in terms of being a 7th or 8th inning guy, that's an added bonus. Obviously any injury to the top 3 starters would be devastating. Hopefully McClung continues to flourish in his new role. Then the big question becomes who, if anyone, does anything at/before the deadline. But it's all moot if the Brewers don't start scoring runs.

    Mota was well rested for that apperance.

    Baker is not a bad pitcher. He's probably better than everyone the Brewers have active other than Sheets and Suppan. In game scoreboard update: CHC 7 TOR 1 (B7) STL 5 PHI 1 (T5) At some point you have to be closer to even second place than last. Got to get it done this afternoon.

    Is it Jose Hernandez bobblehead day?

    Gotta love B&B killing the guys in the truck over the magician thing.

    Number of errors, while a component of the argument, is not the only characteristic that defines good, fundamental baseball. The Brewers has a low error total early in the year, but it was clear they were still making way too many mental errors in the field. Braun's throw to the plate against one of the fastest guys in the league, allowing runners to move to 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, is a recent example, even though it didn't cost them any more last night. It's also evident offensively, in terms of approaches to particular ABs and adjusting to what a given pitcher is doing in a game. The Twins were disciplined enough to let Tavarez hurt himself; the Brewers often have trouble in that regard in their own plate appearances. The Twins have decided that with Morneau, Cudduyer, and Mauer (more in terms of 2B than HR for him) they have enough pop most nights to let the slap hitters do thier thing. The Brewers don't have very many of those guys, and for the most part the fans around here don't really like those guys very much anyway. The Twins, with Crain Reyes and Nathan at the back end, can afford to keep it close and win late if need be. Though the team has changed a bit recently (most notably losing Santana to the NYM and Liriano for now), it's still the general formula that keeps them in contention almost every year. The Twins had a bad weekend last weekend in Chicago against a streaky White Sox squad. Other than that series, they have about the same record as the Brewers in the still superior AL.

    I'm pf the opinion that this issue manifests itself well beofe the players make it to the big club. The Twins seems to understand, and insist, that guys in the system don't come up (or if they do, stay long) unless they are solid. I think thte guys in the system understand that. If they are fundamentally solid, even if not the biggest talents, they may not win games for you, but they won't give games away either. And, the longer they stay in the bigs, they have a chance to grow in certain ways, though they never regress from the fundamental soundness. The Brewers seem to look too much at players strenghts and ignore weaknesses. They're willing to take a +3 -2 guy, figuring the +s will outweigh the -s. The Twins figure if they eliminate/minimize the minuses, they never have to play that math.

    Mota was available, but he needed rest since he pitched on Wed and Thurs. Was slated to go in the 13th if it got that far. We dont worry about tomorrow in an extra inning game. We play to win today's game. Thus sayeth the Ned, apparently not seeing any contradiction. I didn't really puy this one on Ned, as the guys mucked it up and were only bailed out by 3TO. But these post-game nuggets, even if meaningless to Ned, have to make you wonder, even if you like the guy.
  13. pebadger
    Yost didn't have many choices there, but I would have brought in DiFelice right after he got the first out. Figure that's the best you're going to get from him, don't put him in the position of still having to throw strikes, and hope the new guy who the Twins haven't seen can get it done. Probably no differnce, but timing can be everything.
  14. pebadger
    Is it wrong t be hoping for a HBP there?
  15. pebadger
    What did I say about Yost? He did look confused, since he didn't have any options. And the fans were booing him, fans being the subject of the sentence.
  16. pebadger
    Fans booing Yost, not Tavarez.
  17. pebadger
    Ned looks confused. Not sure what to do.

    Between this and seeing Woods make two huge eagle putts to take the lead going into tomorrow, it's been one heck of a night of TV so far.
  19. pebadger
    Imperfections and all, this has been about as much as you can ask for in a mid-June ballgame.
  20. pebadger
    Mota is not available until the 16th inning.
  21. pebadger
    I don't think Prince can gesture and run at the same time any faster than he just did. That said, if those goes badly from here out, it will really be a crusher.
  22. pebadger
    Sweet for Torres, too. He's been the victim of his own team way too much, and he's done a heck of a job himself overcoming most of it.
  23. pebadger
    That almost killed me.
  24. pebadger
    A legend grows.

    I asked rhetorically how many psotions the Twins had an advantage over the Crew, the real question being how the Brewers could get beat that badly. Now, I question whether teh Brewers are better than the Twins at all, because my gut tells me they aren't. Maybe more talent, but not as good at just playing ball. C'mon 3TO.
