Romney names his VP tomorrow... my money is on Paul Ryan. Young, energizing, & knows a little bit about how to add & subtract. Exciting pick, if that's the way he goes.

Lifelong KISS fan, but if this ever happens,I will not continue to fly the flag.

It's bad enough that Tommy & Eric are "playing" the Spaceman & Catman parts, but to have 4 entirely unoriginal members continuing as KISS? Absolutely disgusting to me.

Though, I learned long ago nothing is sacred in the world of Paul & Gene. They talk about their fans, yet continually treat them like low-level morons.

Pure genius, Mr. Sulu, pure genius

Class move by the world's fastest man. Many, athletes & non-athletes, could learn a little something from this small show of respect.

If the rumor is true... Getting back Elvis Andrus & young pitching for Zach+ is fine with me. Like I said, the core is there, it's a matter of building around it & '13 will take care of itself.

Ted Thompson should be eternally lauded for the intestinal fortitude to pull the trigger on the Aaron Rodgers era. #12 has proven to be quite the spokesman for GB & the antithesis of his predecessor.

Call me crazy, but I'm a little excited about this team. Some excellent guards & post presence.

Sure seems like a guy playing for a 1B opening in 2014, incidentally the year following the end of Hart's deal

I'm getting a little pissy at all the short-sighted Brewer fans recently. Just because they're out of the playoff race, doesn't mean you can't support them. Hell, any team, no matter how bad, that still has Ryan Braun up 4 times a game is worth a watch.

First, Grienke was destined to leave anyway. He reportedly turned down a 100 MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT! You don't do that unless you're testing the market. And with the new compensation rules, we'd only get one pick if he walked at season's end, not 2 like years past.

The only mainstays I would call off limits would be Braun, Gallardo, & Lucroy. However, I don't see a complete rebuild as there was in years past. The core is still there, as is some decent young pitching. This is more like a "reload" in my opinion.

It's a shame that the entire bullpen picked the same year to shit the bed, but remember this: Without the Narveson/Marcum injuries, Estrada & Fiers are in the bullpen, thus strengthening that group. Dominos fall.

From the VA Tech shootings 5 years ago...

I don't hunt, nor do I own a gun, but I'm steadfast in my belief that if you remove all guns, only the criminals will have them. Do you lock your door at night? Of course you do, it makes you feel safe. But here's the rub: a lock only keeps out the honest people.

Here's an absolute truth: Make all the laws you want... criminals don't abide by laws. Laws are created for the law-abiding, always have been, always will be.

So I'm a realist in many ways... The Brewers have serious middle relief issues. The bullpen has 19 losses this year vs. 23 all last season. Split that in half & they're a couple out starting July. As it stands, I think they're underperforming at the moment & have every opportunity to catch the Reds, & at the very least compete for that extra Wild Card.

Doug's in a very precarious spot right now: They're a couple weeks from being right in the mix & a couple weeks from shitting the bed for the year. My gut tells me that Zack should be dealt, preferably for some arm talent & SS talent. Also, what to do with Mr. Hart... I love how well he has transitioned to 1B, but he'll become real expensive after next year.

Really, if the Crew does sell this year, you can rest assured the core will still be here. It's not a complete rebuilding in the slightest sense. Mark A don't play that game.

Geek alert: NHL draft today. The Penguins of Pittsburgh traded young 3rd line center Jordan Staal for center Brandon Sutter, defenseman Brian Dumoulin, & a draft pick that brought in defenseman Derrick Pouliot.

Sutter is a former 1st round pick in '07, who has proven durable & has improved every year. Dumoulin was a 2nd round pick in 2009. Pouliot compares to Letang, as slightly undersized, but skates very well & can move the puck.

They also sent Michalek to Phoenix for defenseman Harrison Ruopp, goalie Marc Cheverie, and a third-round pick.

The transformation continues. Once Crosby's deal gets done, & rest assured it will, it looks like the Pens are gearing up for a slew of solid two-way players to add to their uptempo, scoring style.

Utterly self-serving & pathetic. Though, not totally unexpected from a POTUS so out of touch with his own country. "Hey, you don't need that... Stuff... gimme it instead so I can continue to do nothing of substance & get paid for it"

Socialism has never been proven to work, & it sure as hell isn't making any inroads since '08.

And to think this sick bastard could've been stopped back in '98... men of cowardice protecting themselves & ignoring what's right in front of them. Simply sad

Had to say goodbye to a friend today, though he couldn't hear me. A victim of a senseless crime committed by two idiots with a rap sheet longer than my arm, let out on probation.

I'll miss Kerby the most the next time I walk into Day's Bowl-A-Dome just because I'll never hear this familiar greeting: "Mr. Shawn, how are you today?". If you want the details, look up the Wausau Daily Herald. I have no interest in rehashing the sheer ridiculousness of this tragedy. What I do know is I will miss my friend... and that sucks.

I think it's safe to say the Crew should just make the Hart at 1b move permanent. At worst, he'll be league average defensively, or close to it. His offense is easily passable there.

Dana Perino, Megyn Kelly, and Meghan McCain... Just as beautiful with the sound up.

Innate desire for reason in a haphazard world causes normally rational people to place blame on innocent institutions - Jim Breen on Twitter, in a reply to people blaming the Brewers training staff for injuries.

I just thought it funny: isn't that how religion works, too?
