    I know you like Brantley, but he's not a "prime prospect."

    Sure there's some luck involved, there's also good scouting. Look at Portland. They traded all of their high priced vets and went young. They lucked out and got the #1 pick, but they also got Roy in a draft day trade for Foye, they got Aldridge in a draft day trade for Tyrus Thomas, they cleared a ton of salary, buy draft picks from teams who want to stay out of the luxury tax and overall draft well. Same thing with the Thunder. They let Rashard Lewis walk since they knew a non-special wing player on a team with no superstar wouldn't do them any good, especially when they had to pay him max money. They traded Ray Allen for the #5 pick used on Jeff Green. They had some luck and got Durant, but made a nice pick in Westbrook last year. Once again, they drafted well and cleared salary. Being below the salary cap allowed them to absorb the salary of Kurt Thomas to help clear some space for the Suns below the luxury tax. So they ended up trading a conditional 2nd round pick to absorb Thomas' salary and got two future 1st round picks from the Suns in the process. They then flipped Thomas to San Antonio for the expiring contracts of Francisco Elson and Brent Barry along with San Antonio's 1st round pick. They ended up trading the San Antonio pick for Thabo Sefolosha, who is a decent looking wing prospect and they could conceivably have two lottery picks next year, their own and the Suns. When was the last time the Bucks ever did something like the Blazers or Thunder?

    Favorite Brooks Kieschnick moment. I think it was June or July of 2003. The Brewers and Cubs are going to extras in Wrigley. Kieschnick leads off the inning and smacks a homer to give the Brewers the lead. The Brewers ended up scoring a bunch of runs in the 10th, but Brooks' homer was the game winner and it was against the Cubs which made it extra sweet. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Not until they get a star player or until the figure out the "win now while rebuilding" plan doesn't and will never work in the NBA.

    Brooks > Branyan and his Oakleys. That interview clinched it for me.

    If we draft Blair with the 10th pick I'm going to need a new TV and a new wall.

    There are a couple of ways to get out from RJ's or Redd's contract this offseason while saving some money. Either find unguaranteed contracts and waive those players owing them only minimal buyouts or find a team under the cap willing to use their cap space to absorb part of RJ or Redd's salary. Unfortunately, I can't see Hammond making either of those moves. He doesn't strike me as the go out and make a move happen type of guy and I can't see any teams offering more than salary relief and if he didn't take it in February, why would he take it in June?

    And the Manatees are rained out again. This is getting pretty annoying.

    The best one I could find was this. http://a.espncdn.com/media/apphoto/288ec440-eac1-4f3e-94c4-d6f0f7550d3d.jpg

    If we can't use Gamel Toe, I don't think your name is going to be allowed either. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Sounds like a flawed plan. "Daddy, can I go out with this rebellious hunk?" "Yes dear. Sounds great."

    Sucks that the Admirals lost game 7 after coming back from a 3-1 deficit. Go Canes, then Pens, then Blackhawks, then Red Wings.
  13. trwi7
    Can we sit Hall against righties? He sucks against them. We have two better options on the bench.
  14. trwi7
    I think I know the thing. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Don't know for sure, but I would assume so. It landed in the Brewers' bullpen.
  16. trwi7
    I believe the game continues with the same score at a later date, however, if this game was to be finished tomorrow the game tomorrow night would only be seven innings.

    The sky is black. It might be a good time to delay the game and get the tarp on the field before it starts raining.
  18. trwi7
    After looking at the radar posted earlier, I guess I don't see why they plan on starting the game when we're just going to stop in like 15 minutes.

    I just found myself in a picture from the Admirals game a couple nights ago. I did a super awesome edit job and circled myself. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z217/trwi7/536308837_puG96-M-1.jpg?t=1242424180

    Completely awesome that he got that many cheers just for stepping up to the plate.
  21. trwi7
    Did you catch SportsCenter last night Happy Youngster? They talked about you for probably a minute.
  22. trwi7
    PRINCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There goes the no-hitter for Cody. I blame Mass for mentioning it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Funny. I was coming to post the same thing. Butler with another very nice outing for the Manatees. 7 innings, 2 earned runs, 6 hits, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts and 13-4 ground outs/ fly outs. Unfortunately the Manatees trail 2-1 in the 8th.
  25. trwi7
    That is awesome. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif
