Wow
Kick off this post by noting that Thurston just swung at a 3-0 at his FUCKING CHEST!!!
He read VEB today and saw that I supported him (sort of) by saying, among other things, that he walks. Then he swings at a ball at his throat, as if to say EFF YOU REDBIRDNATION I DON’T NEED YOUR EFFING HELP!

The first swing was on 3-0, and then he laced one on the 3-1

ya know the brewers could use
a player w/ suspect defense, no power and a strong inclination toward base-running gaffs. He’s just the kind of guy D-Bag Braun was wanting
Since you mentioned it on the lead-in...
anyone else think we have the worst medical staff in sports? I’m so sick of “we’ll give it rest and see if it heals…ooops season-ending surgery”
and now back to enjoying a 4-0 lead w/ the Mil already coming into the game.
how about whoever keeps extending the careers of guys like Shaq, Nash and Grant Hills
the suns guys have it figured out
how about Lance Armstrong's doctor?
maybe Lance Armstrong needs a left-handed slugging first baseman….
I heard SF was looking for one too.

No, no, no.
06 was payback for 68, right? The whole, Ford/Granderson, thing, the underdog winning the series, blah blah blah… so, I say we’re still owed for 85. I’ll take payment this year, thank you.
no way
the 06 WS was the result of two things: the Cards got swept by an inferior team in 04, so the GOB knew they owed us one. Then that chuckefuck in USA Today said “Tigers in three,” and the GOB were compelled to act.
The Kenny Rogers game was their way of keeping the Detroit fans’ hopes up.
Nope, I think we’re getting punished becase of some iffy managerial/roster decisions. The GOB don’t like 8-man bullpens, apparently. And maybe they were Barton fans, too, who knows.
hahah
ugh the ’04 WS was awful.
ok so we’re even w/ the GOB for ’06 one way or the other. what do we have to do to get back in the their good graces!?!?
Thurston first.
Sacrifice him to the island volcano called the Nats. That should be some major appeasement.

but seriously, the Wallace thing is pretty hilarious
the idea that he’s not ready is laughable. Ready as in what? Defense? Offense? Baserunning?
I gauran-damn-tee he can outperform Joe Thurston on every conceivable f’n level. 10 errors or less at 3b? check. Not running into outs at 3b? Check. Hitting greater that .211 w/ 1 hr? HUGE F’N CHECK!! He’s a better option than Thurston, period. And i realize I’m preaching the choir
here's the mindblowing thing
Ankiel’s OPS so far = .656, which is actually < Thurston’s (.674).
That doesn’t reflect the baserunning brain seizures, or the fact that Ankiel is not a defensive liability. But having both those guys in the regular lineup is really hurting the team. Imagine where we’d be with replacement level guys in those spots.

but he made contact
thats progress

I'd rather see him put the ball in play, even if it's weak contact
than strike out a dozen times….one of these Brewer fielding experts can whiff on a routine popup, but a K is just an out.
phantom injury time?
could he be put on the DL and then serve a rehab stint in Memphis…
and Slurve beat me to it
Yes, he did.

Liquor sales of any kind in grocery stores?
In the entire state? That’s just ludicrous. I mean, it’s not like Trader Joe’s is peddling bath tub firewater or something, it’s just beer and wine. I understand if certain cities or counties wanna go that route (I went to college in Irving, Texas, which just recently voted to end its dryness) but man oh man is that silly. You’re right, it would be a perfect match.

They sell 3.2 beer in grocery stores
but that’s it. Every supermarket around has a liquor store sharing its parking lot.
They got rid of the no Sunday liquor sales blue law last year. This legislative session there was a HUGE fight about selling full-strength beer in grocery stores. Liquor stores won this time around, but I think it’ll fall in the near future – and the way will be paved for future alcohol sales in stores.
"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground." - opposing broadcaster describing Yadi's speed.
They're in Massachusetts
Any given franchise is only allowed to have three stores with beer/wine sales in the state of Massachusetts., and Trader Joe’s has 16 stores here (obviously 13 of them have no alcohol sales). Not being able to sell alcohol definitely doesn’t seem to be a deal breaker for them, so hold out hope CO.

it’s that they say something is minor and the date for the guy’s return keeps mysteriously getting pushed back. They can’t set a realistic timetable for shit.

by FredbirdisaDork on Jul 7, 2009 10:14 PM EDT up reply actions
it's because of the rehab
from what I understand.
It has nothing to do with the actual tendon replacement (or is it a ligament? I dunno, I’m an English teacher), but rather all the work they go through to come back.
I believe if the average pitcher who wanted to improve and had no need for Tommy John just did the rehab, they’d probably get the same results. But again, that’s just what I’ve come to understand from hearing random other people who SEEM to know what they’re talking about. There are evidently a lot of people that frequent this board that know more about the human body than me with my freshman year of H.S. biology class background.
