Issues
The Iternets were being collective bastards yesterday, cutting in and out all day. What really sucked was the cable TV did the same thing.

I generally think that the effect would be opposite?

Law Dogs Get it Right Sometimes
The Snow.man said something important? Infrequent commenter has said something relevant?? Apparently and allegedly he said that these cats were Emo before Emo was a waste of time(not here). Since he knows his shit about hanging himself and whatnot, here is some rockin post-punk action.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time
So, the golden god of the frozen tundra has made it to yet another pro-bowl. Look, its not that I dislike the guy. He is more than likely one of the top three QBs of all time. And it pains me to keep harping on it. But I have no choice, since pitchers and catchers dont report for like two months. Look at some numbers.
As an aside, since the national media votes for this useless and unwatched game, obviously the one that they have been rubbing off behind our collective backs for years is going to win.
Who would you choose? Only based on 2008 mind you.
A B
C D
Numbers alone folks. And since you bother reading this drivel, you know the answer.
Here is the point. Do numbers matter anymore? If they did, B would be the easy choice. Look at it people. More TDs, less INTs(and I should leave it at that), more yards, and a better rating. Digression, I will never understand QB rating. But lo and behold, arguably the worse of the three, gets the W. Granted, no one cares about the pro-bowl, but can these guys even look at it? Statistics? They are the measure of how things happen right? Who made things happen better? I can think of one NFC QB who did...But we are talking AFC here.
Look, the guy started more games than anyone ever. He holds basically every record in the book. He just plays for another team. I dont hate him for leaving. Really, I dont hate anyone. And both sides of the equation were assholes in the end. I get it. I really do. For fucks sake this guy made me watch football again!! But do we, as fans of Sconi' sports in general really have to accept this? These people who voted for this seem like they dont even pay attention, as its not like the God of the Frozen Tundra is going to go to the game anyway. How many has he missed? Dont know, and am to lazy to look it up. But it is a couple, and those were his golden years.
Anyway, back to the point. I am a fan of Noodles. He is great, and in my mind the greatest. But if this is about performance on the field, he is the loser this time around. Numbers do not lie people. In three years, if he actually retires, this will be an afterthought. And in 8 years when he in in the pantheon of great QBs, it will be even more so. But why now? Sooner or later, the hacks that write columns for pro sports will need to pay attention to fact. That fact lies in numbers, not the winks that so and so gets in the press conference.

Not the Golden God
Lots of people these days are really quick to blame the loss of one noodle-armed retiree on the woes of your Green Bay Packers this year. Lets look at the numbers.
A-Rodg
Noodles
Better QB rating. What the fuck does that mean anyway? Did you see that math shit? Thats fucking crazy, and un-understandable.
More yards and TDs. Less interceptions as well. Oh, I forgot that the best QB in the history of the game has that record as well.
Make no mistake. I think that Noodles is the best that ever was, at least for the time being. The numbers speak for themselves. I will gladly take those INTs with that many starts. But anyone who blames a shitty season on his loss is an idiot. In the 13-3 season, Green Bay won 9 of the 13 against teams with a below .500 record at the time. This year, they have played and lost against teams with an above .500 record a lot. Not to mention that the defense leaks like a crappy shower head. Early on, the secondary was lights out, but they have begun to look old and tired. See Woodson and Harris. On top of that, AJ Hawk looks like a slow idiot because outside of Kampman, the D line is shitty.
Solution? A Rodg is a good QB. Anyone who tells you different is also an idiot. But the offense is not the problem. Tell the sizzler that he needs someone good on the D line, and maybe 2 people who are good on the D line. I hear that this year is a bad year for the linemen in the draft Teddy boy. That would make the LBs play like they are actual football players, instead of the 2nd string of Green Bay Prebble High School. Add to that a secondary who can tackle without breaking a hip, and there is your winner.
My point is this. All of you people who blame the shitty season on Thompson are correct. Crazy cap room and no real free agents is clinically insane. But...all of you who blame the shitty season on Brett Favre are not at all smart. The schedule and injuries play a part sure, but if you dont have a defense you dont win games. The golden god of the frozen tundra does not play defense, though he does throw a mean block at times.
Please note that at the time of this post, I was not watching the Packer game.
And as a side note, this guy is bad ass.

Pushing a Car Out Of an Icy Grave Is Not Fun
The nice lady that I made cry at a bar so many months ago, is happy I went to another bar with her friend a month ago. Sorry, I am to lazy to look for the post about it.
Interesting.
This one goes to 11.
Just in case.
If blue is your color.
Think again assholes.

The Thrill is Gone
Yes my friends in Brewtown, the thrill is gone. With the recent news that Carsten Charles will be in pinstripes next year, everyone who breathes baseball and Brewers baseball at that, is doing one of 2 things. One, they are pissed. Or two, they can breathe a sigh of relief. It looks like, according to the article, the Steinbrenners threw in an extra year and more dollar bills. 7 years and 160 mil. There are varied reactions all over the Internets about it, and they range between the above two attitudes. Find them yourself jerk.
Fuck him...he was chasing the money and lied to Brewers nation about not wanting to play in NYC.
Fuck him...he is a greedy bastard.
Eh, I knew it was going to happen, so Im not all that pissed.
Eh, I knew it was going to happen, so whats next.
Number 4 ladies. Number 4. With the exorbant 20 mil per we offered him, 25% of the teams salary I may add, number 4 is the right attitude. Look, I am as angry as everyone. But you have to give credit where credit is due. He took my team to the playoffs for the first time in 26 years. Mostly by himself, what with 11 wins in a Brewer uniform. For that I say thank you and good luck. No hard feelings big guy. I will remember him as one of the better Brewers ever.
On to better things. With that 20, 15 from Sheeter, and 10 from Gagne, looks like Mustache has 45 mil to add. Realistically, that 20 for Sabathia is more like 10-15 as big Mark wont commit that much to anyone else. So we'll call it 30.
Some people would call for locking up the core of talent to deals. But why? Most of them wont be up for Arbitration for at least a couple of years, and there is some minor league talent wating to bust out that would be reasonable replacements. Of the starting 8 I mean. Pitching later, though it is the most pressing need right now.
Hardy, for one, seems like a good candidate for a contract. He is up for arby almost now, and he is one of the better SS in the National League. He is young, and keeps getting better. He still hasnt struck out 100 times in 2 full seasons of ABs. And his SLG keeps going up, not to mention the OBP. The people who want to move him to 3rd for Escobar arent thinking clearly. Hardys HRs dont match the production for average 3bs. Move him to second? His lack of range is hidden, and as a 2b he would be above average for that position.
If Corey Hart were to get his head straight, he wold be another one. If they dont pick up Camerons option, 10 mil for 09, Why not move Corey over? Probably better than Deron Erstad and Juan Pierre. He certainly wont be horrible in the field, but not neerly as good as Cameron. Like I said, if he can get the head right, he could be pretty good at the plate. Pop, speed, good arm, decent eye. Looks like good at baseball to me. But potential still bothers me.
Rickie Weeks has a lot of that. But in a what have you done for me lately business, what have you done for me lately? Score a lot of runs, play a bit better than bad deffense, and suck balls in the 1 spot. The way Im thinking, expendable, assuming JJ goes to 2b. Isnt there a way to package Weeks and Fielder(10 mil for 1 year or more) arby tag for something?
Anyway...Mustache has his work cut out for him. Milwaulee seems to be on a path to the "win for a while" mentality. Replacing the best free agent pitcher in baseball is a tough businesss. Like I said, I will get to pitching soon. Maybe this brief insight will tide you over. If not, piss off as I am tired and need to work early.
But now this "movie" on AMC has my attention. Not really. It is most likely the worst western I have ever seen.

Are You Kidding Me??
What in the name of the sweet Zombie Jesus is this? What filthy hippie came up with this idea? There so many things that can go wrong, I dont really want to think about it anymore. This is not a group of tribes in Siberia, this is where I live. But thats not the best part. The last line in the article is a good cheap shot at my state.
Only in the most pretentious, assholish, yuppylicious city in the US would a reputable paper like the Tribune take a shot at their neighbors to the north. But hey, keep coming up here and spending money on our far classier stadium, and our beutiful rolling hills, fucking flatlanders.
Muntaba was enterprising enough to find the hippie behind this lame ass idea.

Random Brewers
So with the signing of "one time future closer to be" Jorge Julio, I figured that it was time to bust out some news on your Milwaukee Brewers.
Julio, who first played for the Montreal farm system, if I remember correctly one of the next big things in relief pitching. Well, the major league numbers dont really say that, but who knows. From the looks of it, he had one good year followed by a bunch of bad and OK years, than a small sample size great time last year. Senor Mustache tried to take a flyer on a washed up releiver once, and look how well that turned out. But to be fair, this guy is getting paid less than 10 mil, 950,000 to be exact, with performance bonuses in there. And he throws hard, which everybody likes. Releif pitching isnt exact, but at least he is cheaper that Gagne.
They also picked up a minor league 1B. Scott Thorman hits real good in the minors. But as far as the big leagues, hasnt produced in a small amount of at bats. He doesnt walk much, and for the most part doesnt hit all that many HRs. But he is a lefty, and once again young, so why not spend a bit of Minor League style money?
Another pitcher. This time a lefty. His numbers down on the farm are pretty decent. And he doesnt have any Major League experience worth noting. Just a shade under 5 innings. The thing about this guy is that he is a left handed batter type of pitcher. Good thing since the Shouse may in fact leave town. His curve ball tops out at 55 according to the article. Thats a big uncle charlie. And according to this guy, he does in fact get the lefties out.
I would be remiss if I did not mention this one. We all know that Sabathia, barring an intervention by the baby Jesus himself, will probably not be back. And the Shouse thing is still up in the are as mentioned. But the good one is Sheets. He pretty much had his best year since 04 last year. 31 starts and he missed a bunch of time. Not to mention he was 3rd in complete games. On the other hand, he has a glass body. Odd injuries, and one real shoulder injury last year, make him fragile. Arby for a year, 15 mil, 3 more than he makes this year? Or a 2 year deal, 12 per, with an option for a third based on performance? His walk per K average is still pretty good. But he still can get guys out, though he walks a few here and there. I say get him on the Arby, and trade him. What say you?
