Wife's computer crashing

feeds@yuku.com (dadofandrew) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:49:45 GMT

She "fixed" it a couple weeks ago when my brother-in-law removed spyware and a registry error a couple weeks ago. Now, back to crashing, won't even come on w/o crashing. The one thing she noticed is the NIC port has two lights flashing nonstop. It is just less than 2 years old, out of warranty. She's thinking it might be time to give up and buy a sharp new pretty one. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.

Sammy Sosa's new look

feeds@yuku.com (burnzy24) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:52:33 GMT

I just caught this on msnbc, link. Apparently he is going through a skin rejuvination process and this is a condition of it. While I am assuming this is a temporary side effect, my first thoughts immediatly were of Michael Jackson.

Rich Harden

feeds@yuku.com (sheetskout) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:30:27 GMT

The Cubs are reportedly parting ways with Rich Harden (and Reed Johnson).

Not that this is really surprising (or news) for that matter, I have a feeling that with the increased financial flexibility resulting from the Hardy/Gomez deal, that rumor activity involving the Brewers will probably start to heat...

John Lackey

feeds@yuku.com (jjfanec) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:20:06 GMT

With the money saved by trading Hardy and not resigning Cameron the Brewers will have the money to go after a top flight pitcher if they choose. Lackey is easily the best pitcher on the market and the bidding will be high with all the typical players (NY, LA, etc) potentially involved. However, the Brewers were willing to open the pocket book up for CC last off-season. He turned 30 this year. I have read where he might get A.J. Burnett money, which was 5 years 82 million.

right field

feeds@yuku.com (mancl) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:42:43 GMT

Looks like it is Braun and Gomez long term for the Brewers in left and center but what about right field? Cain had a rough year but he still has talent. If he is the right fielder of the future does it mean the Gamel is in the infield if he isn't traded? If Gamel is the rightfielder what happens to Cain?

Roy Halladay's price tag

feeds@yuku.com (Hate those Rodents) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:45:54 GMT

What is a guess to what it would take to get Roy Halladay. I have to admit that I think we might make a big pitch for him now. Would Gamel, Lawrie, Parra, and Salome get it done? Is that too much, too little, or just about right?

Edited to add that they maybe like Dave Bush a bit too, since they did have him on their team a few years ago and he's a decent pitcher.

Gamel for Happ?

feeds@yuku.com (Weirdos19) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:20:24 GMT

The Phillies are looking for a third baseman. Just thinking that their staff already has two lefties and they may not want to carry as many as four lefties in their rotation. Right now they have Lee, Hamels, Happ, and possibly Moyer for next year.

The Brewers could get a young pitcher with alot of upside and only trade one of their prospects.

Thoughts?

Boston offer for jj

feeds@yuku.com (Kelbysdaddy) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 08:55:25 GMT

mlbtr had a post that boston was going after jj and that the brewers were asking for bucholz or dan bard but boston would only give up mike bowden. what was doug thinking assuming he could get either of those 2? i think i would have taken bowden over gomez.

Ipod dock/bases

feeds@yuku.com (Hammer) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:02:56 GMT

Hey all,
My wife wants an Ipod dock for in the kitchen/dining room. While we are not sound snobs we don't exactly want to listen to tin-can sounding small radios. Have any of you had good/bad experiences with some of the small docks?
Thanks,
Hammer

Is Doug Melvin planning on building the future brewers around speed rather than power?

feeds@yuku.com (wishicouldhit) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:16:41 GMT

With the recent trade sending J.J. Hardy to the Twins for the young unproven CF Carlos Gomez begs the question, are the Brewers going to be a team that is built around speed and small ball? Excluding the catcher and Fielder it seems every position player will be able to snag 15 plus bases. Just for argument sake I am penciling in Gamel instead of McGehee at 3B. Leading the team in steals would be Escobar and Gomez which can easily have...

How much do we have to spend this off-season?

feeds@yuku.com (jjfanec) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:40:18 GMT

The Hardy trade got me wondering how much we had to spend this off-season. Not having to pay JJ Hardy arbitration and not bringing Cameron back will save them a good amount of money. I dont have any idea what we have to spend and where we currently are at, but I know there are guys on this site that do. I am wondering what we are likely to spend in arbitration and what that leaves us for pitching and bench players.

Jermaine Dye's option bought out by the White Sox

feeds@yuku.com (nate82) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:53:38 GMT

Jermaine Dye is now a free agent this probably kills a Hart/McGehee trade to the Braves for Vazquez/Lowe though. I would expect the Braves to sign Dye if they can trade Vazquez or Lowe to another team.

Weathers' option declined

Not too surprising... he wasn't that great down the stretch for the Brewers.

What is everyone's favorite David Weathers memory?

Now that Hardy has been traded

feeds@yuku.com (paul253) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:41:38 GMT

What next? Its apparent Mike Cameron won't be back. Hopefully Jason Kendal is next to go. I doubt that Melvin will be able to get Lackey, so it's probably going to be 2 free agent pitchers who are somewhat risky. I think the offense is going to have to carry us again in 2010. One name out there that I like a lot is Jason Bay. I think he'd be a perfect hitter to bat behind Fielder. This would involve trading Hart and probably moving Braun to right, which shouldn't be...

Madison: What are some nice restaurants by the capital?

feeds@yuku.com (ryne100) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:56:35 GMT

Like real nice. Saturday's going to be one of the last nice days of the year, so something by the capital where I could walk by the lake afterward would be great.
