Poker Night/Brewers Pitching and the Ben Sheets Conundrum

Make sure to check out the poll to the right. I'll put up a new one weekly.

Thursday night is poker night at my neighbor's house. Shout out to J-Rod. Aside from losing two straight hands with pocket queens, the cards seemed to come out in my favor all night. It was a good night and I ended up taking home 40$. Shout out to the other guys who play; Nate, Logan, Jake, Kevin, Scott and Big Eazy. Just check 'er down.

On to the Brewers and the issues with our pitching. Playing poker last night made me wonder is Ben Sheets is worth the gamble on resigning him. He is reportedly asking for a nice guaranteed two or three year contract. I've heard that a couple of teams have offered him some nice incentive laden contracts and he is reportedly turning them down. Ben, buddy, remember who you are and what your track record is injury wise. You never play close to a full season, except this year, which coincidentally was a contract year. Even then you got hurt and severely hurt our playoff run. Even with all this I would have liked you to sign a nice one year deal or possibly a two year deal with the crew. Prove that you are worth what you think you are worth by playing a full season and you will get paid. But right now teams are scared to sign you. Hell our starting 5 is not looking the greatest(but what starting five with SoupCan would look great?). Yo is going to be the ace of the future, Manny is a solid pitcher, Bush had a great second half last year, Chucky is ok, but he is better as a reliever or setup guy for Hoffman. And SoupCan sucks, we paid him big money because of his playoff experience and we finally get there after 26 years and you were terrible. CC looked better and he had pitched twice as often the last couple weeks of the year. I have more animosity towards Soup than I ever did for Gagne, and that says a lot. Why haven't the Brewers gone after Gagne again anyways? He was mos def. overpaid last year, by oh, let's say 8 million dollars. So if the Twinkies were going to give him around 3 million, why haven't we offered him half that and see what he says. He had a pretty good last month of the year. If we will give Counsell 1million, Gagne should get at least that. I am disappointed be didn't keep Mota around, he really picked it up at the end of the year.

Tomorrow might bring about a SuperBowl entry.
Who knows, till then I'm checkin 'er down.

The reason for my blogging...

The main reason I started this whole ordeal was to spite my brother, Andy. I also started this blog because I think I'm intelligent and have some good stories to tell. I also think my point of view is worth forcing down most people's throats. I know that most times what I write doesn't make much sense or isn't all that funny. I have a dirty sense of humor and a potty mouth. I think dick, fart and poop humor is the funniest kind of humor and don't mind if you don't agree with me. I'm going to keep on writing the stuff, the way I see it. I may tone down some of the vulgarity as I am trying to do this in normal everyday situations. Now that my son is getting the the age where he is starting to repeat some of the random things I say, I believe it's time to tone it down a notch. With my son, I can try to get him to say somebody's name or repeat the word food or please and it's not happening but you say "oh shit" once and out it comes. At least that's what I think he was trying to say. Oh the good ol' days, when all we had was the dog, and we knew she would never repeat anything you would say. Hell, the dog will try to snuggle up next to ya in bed when you are trying to get a piece, which is kinda creepy, so you kick her off the bed and proceed with caution. But, I digress, I wouldn't give up my kid for the world. There is no laugh in the world that compares to the laugh my kid puts out there when you are tickling him. So with that I say. Good day and go Badgers.

Till next time, Seacrest Out.

Round 2.

The fine art of heckling.

Heckling is a trade that can only be mastered over time, it isn't something that just comes to you overnight. I have a long history of doing dumb stuff in public just to get some attention. Everything from throwing a water balloon into a convertible during a parade(hey the lady dared me, what can I say), to standing up in the middle of a packed theatre in the cities when I was around twelve saying in my worst Austrailian accent that I was from the outback. Back on the main topic though, while heckling there are some things to think about. It is possible you could be a complete asshole and be a terrible heckler. You have to have a sense of humor about it, you have to learn to adapt to your suroundings, and you have to know enough about whom you are heckling(you don't want to run out of insults afterall). It is always a positive to have a good buzz going while you are ripping into an opposing team's player. Hell it helps out anytime you plan on yelling some nonsense while there are thousands of people around you. We had a great time spitting "hot fire" at Tejada in Milwaukee. My cousin got him best with "Hey Miguel, why don't you act your age, if you know what it is." Of coarse this was right after it came out that he lied about his age on his visa to play baseball in America. It doesn't always matter if your victim can hear you either, as I explain in my next story.

I really heckled Bill Hall the next time we went down for the Mets series on Labor Day weekend. Which didn't make too much sense, due to us being in the opposite end of the field from him. He couldn't hear us, but there was an annoying family in front of us who were big Bill Hall fans, so I kept going. I almost felt bad when the boy sitting in front of us gave me a nasty glare, the which I slurred, "Hey kid, it's not my fault Bill Hall is a terrible ball player." Oops, I'd like to say I wouldn't do it again, but who am I really kidding. When a guy is chanting "straw wrapper, staw wrapper" at falling straw wrappers from the seats above us, you gotta give him hell. This is the kind of annoying fan who tries to cheer up a whole section by himself, you know the type. He stands up and starts the "slow clap" trying to entice other fans to get in on it, and when nobody does he sits down and says, "Well I guess nobody else is a real fan like I am". This dumb son of a bitch yelled at his wife for not cheering with him, picked his kids pizza up off the floor and tried to get the poor kid to eat it and yelled at his daughter for cheering at the wrong time. This is why I had no problem farting during the whole game and blaming it on this loser. Let me tell ya, they were some bombs. I got away with it until they left the game early and I kept farting. But hey, thats what some Popeyes chicken/night of drinking will do to a guys rectum.

Keep on letting the players hear it, you are paying them after all by buying the tickets, may as well get your money's worth.

But there are many more farting/poop stories for the future.
Till next time, I'm out.

First Post, It's on now ladies.

I started a damn blog, Andy. So suck it. Now on to the important stuff.

My Brewers rant of the day.

Who the hell does Rickie Weeks think he is and why does he think he needs a raise? I want the team to cut him and at the very least cut his pay. If this man thinks he deserves a 800,000 dollar raise for batting .234 then I deserve a hummer everyday for doing the dishes and making sure my kid breathes. This is shit you are supposed to do, Rickie. Come on now, all I ever hear about is this guys potential. Well buddy, you have been in the league long enough to show something worthwhile. Keep it up we have plenty of young talent coming up in the minors that have potential. You can't even throw the ball from second base to first base, you make Prince look even worse because of his inability to catch your horrible throws. Lick my bag, Rickie.

Other Brewers news.
We signed Prince to a two year deal. 6.5 Million this year, 11.5 million next year. Good signing, this should make sure the pudgy little guy keeps his weight down so he gets that big payday in two years from now.
We also signed Cousell to a one year deal worth 1 million, hell why not for that cheap.

Anyways, more to come.
