    About damn time
  2. XZero771679666304
    I don't see much reason to give Gonzalez anything at all to hit.
  3. XZero771679666304
    Nolasco only went 3 2/3, giving up 8 runs. What happened to him this year?
  4. XZero771679666304
    Too bad Ricky Nolasco realized he likes being terrible more than being really good, too, though.
  5. XZero771679666304
    Nah, it didn't hit his bat first.
  6. XZero771679666304
    Well, if there is a team with one guy you can single out and say "we can't let him beat us" it is the Padres and Gonzalez. So yeah, I'm a little miffed he got drivable pitches, but what can you do.
  7. XZero771679666304
    Agreed. I think it's a safe bet that the standings pretty much across the board will have a much different look 3 months from now.

    I have MLB EI, and regularly watch entire Brewers games (probably 2-3 a week). My eyes tell be he's bad, the metrics tell me he's bad. My assessments aren't that colored. I don't care that much if Braun is a good defender or not, but he isn't. As a Brewers fan, you just as much of a pro-Braun bias as we Cubs fans have an anti-Braun bias, if not more. And as it happens, what evidence there is clearly supports what we are saying. When Pujols moved to 1B, you didn't hear Cubs fans hating on his defense, because it was good. And trust us, we have much, much more anti-Cardinals bias than anti-Brewers. Much more. Braun just isn't a very good defender, regardless of how much "improvement" you think (read: want) you see.

    I'm a big fan of walking the man in front of the other team's best hitter.
  10. XZero771679666304
    What are Theriot's numbers since his little power surge? They have to be awful.
  11. XZero771679666304
    Que?
  12. XZero771679666304
    Aaron Miles needs to go away.
  13. XZero771679666304
    What is this from? I'd love to watch it. That creeps me directly the [expletive] out.
  14. XZero771679666304
    Oh, for god's sake
  15. XZero771679666304
    Seriously, the only thing saving Braun from being one of the worst OFs in recent memory is his athleticism. That allows him to occasionally save himself from making really embarrassing plays. The guy can't read fly balls, and gets godawful jumps. Braun doesn't miss too many balls that are right at him, which saves him from being given errors. They don't assign errors for not being where you should be, not getting to a ball you should have gotten to, or taking poor routes. If they did, Braun would lead the league.
  16. XZero771679666304
    Ryan Braun = Marty Feldman
  17. XZero771679666304
    Beat me too it. BUT HE DOESN'T MAKE ANY ERRORS
  18. XZero771679666304
    Albert Pujols is the same guy, but better, we don't hate him. We respect him, in fact he's my favorite player to watch in the game today. But, he doesn't behave like a baby at all times. This shouldn't be too difficult to understand. And Pujols is actually a really good defender as well. You know, the kind that can actually field and has obvious defensive talents that extend beyond getting bad reads/jumps, running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, not getting to balls and therefore not being charged with errors. With Pujols you hate that he is so good, you are even jealous, but you respect him. With Braun, you just hate him. He's a punk.
  19. XZero771679666304
    :pig: There is a nonzero chance that Albert Pujols dies. Along with the other 10 guys in the NL that are better than Braun. I think some misguided crew fans think Braun will become another Pujols. Anyway, Braun is very good, but as long as Pujols, Hanley and Wright are in the NL, I don't see him winning an MVP in the foreseeable future. Particularly not in 2-3 years after Fielder and Hart leave, and the Brewers are fielding 70-75 win teams.

    Kobe fans can say what they want, but LeBron is the best player in the NBA right now and it isn't particularly close, IMO.
  21. XZero771679666304
    A little, only because our mood today is heavily influenced by what happened last night. As a singular game, there have been many, many worse.
  22. XZero771679666304
    On a semi-related note, I'm thinking of resurrecting the Braun threat in rants. This piece of crap is quickly closing in on the AJP/Valverde level of being an intolerable ass.
  23. XZero771679666304
    The two things in baseball that aggravate me the most are walks and LOB. The Cubs are elevating both to an art form.
  24. XZero771679666304
    I wonder why Hendry loves this guy so much? It doesnt matter now, because his career is done. The only way Hendry gets Fox now is as a coach, because hes not coming back from that injury. I couldn't bear to watch any more, what happened to Fox? Did his arm finally detach?
  25. XZero771679666304
    He didn't have a bad outing, really. Running him out there for the seventh was ill-advised, to say the least. Kind of like leaving Hoff in against Stetter.
