I thought about my actions before I clicked "POST"
and decided that there are no such things as curses, jinxes, or anything greater than a 0% chance that the Brewers or Cubs players are reading my BCB posts, on their edge of their seats, waiting to see what I say next.

Really?
The Matrix recycles a lot of pretty common sci-fi tropes (not that that’s a bad thing!) Dark City did a much more thoughtful presentation of the basic idea. Great, great movie.

Maybe it’s my copy of the Star Trek: Next Generation Technical Manual. Or the fact that I own all five seasons of Babylon 5 on DVD. Probably something along those lines.

Dark City was awsome...and it had Jennifer Connelly in it too...
But The Matrix was groundbreaking in its own way.

It started out with a bloop single that Edwards misplayed into a man at second.
Kerry walked the next batter. Then, on a bunt attempt, DLee threw out the man at third. Unfortunately, Kerry walked the next guy to load the bases. The critical play occurred when the next man hit a grounder up the middle that Cedeno could have turned two and gotten us out of the game but he booted it. Two runs scored and the next man up singled (only solid hit of the inning) and the game was over.

Why are you defending him to a fault?
He fucked up. It happens, but I’ve watched the replay almost 10 times now, and like I said he was too worried about getting the DP than actually fielding it first. He is a better fielder than Theriot ,hands down, but I’m telling you 9 times out of 10 Theriot even makes that play. But this is why Cedeno rides the bench mostly, his mental errors. Edmonds, Cedeno, and Wood all cost us in the 9th but we also left a lot of guys on base. We lost, onward.

I wasn't worried
through this losing streak until today. Horrible loss. I kind of had a bad feeling last night even though they won. Givng up 8 runs in the last two innings was a bad omen. Hope they can turn it around soon, because they can’t continue to rely on the Brewers playing like crap too.

by lexmarklover on Sep 7, 2008 3:42 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's gonna be a tough game, no doubt, but I think we can win it. Certainly
the Packers and the Vikings will be fighting for the top spot, while the bears toil away.

no offense but the packers are going nowhere with rodgers as qb
by lexmarklover on Sep 7, 2008 3:45 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
because i think aaron rodgers is not even close to brett farve
and lets be real brett farve had to be great for the packers to be in teh playoffs
by lexmarklover on Sep 7, 2008 3:47 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
actually
I would give more credit to Grant than anyone else
by bheidge on Sep 7, 2008 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ryan Grant hasnt even proved anything in the NFL. hes done it in what 12 games or so
so prove to me hes a good rb like he was last year and ill believe
by lexmarklover on Sep 7, 2008 3:49 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
what?
getting to the playoffs isnt about proven players. You say Favre carried the team to the playoffs and I say the addition of Grant helped us more. Now your telling me none of that matters because he isnt proven? Just what the fuck are you trying to get across here? Explain to me because you keep switching the topics..
by bheidge on Sep 7, 2008 3:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Like the interception he threw to cost us the NFC championship?
How about Ryan Grant? or Greg Jennings and Donald Driver? Or the defense, with Al Harris and Charles Woodson, Nick Barnett, AJ Hawk?

dont mention wr when the qb is the reason why they get the ball
by lexmarklover on Sep 7, 2008 3:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
So no wr is good in their own right?
by sackings108 on Sep 7, 2008 3:51 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
when a wr runs a route and the cb is all over them
who throws them the ball in that tiny available spot? qb plays a large role in wr production
by lexmarklover on Sep 7, 2008 3:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
obviously.
But what team in the NFL had the most yards after the catch last year? The packers. And that’s because of their WRs.
by sackings108 on Sep 7, 2008 3:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
it goes both ways
a QB isnt shit if he doesnt have any decent WR’s
by bheidge on Sep 7, 2008 3:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
yea i know that but the arguement is stemming on the fact that
rodgers cant make the same throws as farve. sure u can have great wr but hows he gonna get teh ball

with a first round pick, who's finally getting his chance to start?
yeah, he’ll definitely be horrible though. good point.

why is there all this silly arguing over Rodgers
(on BCB, no less!). Don’t you think the answer about whether Rodgers “is worthy” will be answered after three games against MINN, DET & DAL?

by sackings108 on Sep 7, 2008 4:04 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
are you saying that because
you might be a little biased? He has started 18 games in his career and has a 62.2 QB rating. I, and most people would take a gamble on Rodgers over this guy.

you just said they packers wouldn’t be good because they don’t have favre.

I really dont have too much hope for this year
playoffs is a possibility, but I am viewing this year as a transition year. I am in love with the defense though, I think these guys will continue to get better.

you can so easily critize Theriot when he hasn't done this in any games this year
but you can’t accept that Cedeno had a shitty play? And you still haven’t responded to my argument about Theriot being a better hitter than Cedeno

and he’s been hitting MUCH better than Cedeno has in the “last year” And Cedeno and Theriot have virtually the same fielding percentage this year. How is he better?

sure he is younger, but that necessarily doesn't mean he is better
and both of them are not really power hitters. Cedeno has 13 HR, while Theriot has 7

uhh... 13 is a lot more than 7. Clearly Cedeno is the better defender.
FP doesn’t tell you anything. Look at their zone ratings, OOZ plays, etc. Theriot has no range.
by sackings108 on Sep 7, 2008 3:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
13 home runs in 800+ at bats is bad.

Except it obviously proves that he does have more power.
We aren’t arguing about other players, we’re arguing between these two. Cedeno has more power. He doesn’t get consistent playing time like Theriot. He’s younger, and improving. Theriot has hit his peak. He’s a worse baserunner than Cedeno. He has half the arm of Cedeno. He’s just plain bad.
