Yes!

Oh how wrong you are....ALL of America would watch the Brewers in the World Series, because the Brewers have the best two 'young' players in MLB - Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. Mark my words here today, Braun will have more HR's than Ryan Howard in 2008.

Oldu, I like your threads, keep them coming - they keep me thinking, whereas the mindless banter threads about Britney Spears and the next American Idol pretty much bore me to death.

I miss Erik Conard. Seriously.

The Yankees, for example, have a rich history -- been around a long time, many championships, multiple Hall-of-Famers, but some people just hate the Yankees.

If the Brewers ever make it to the World Series -- some will be upset because the TV revenue will not be as much, but others will want to watch just because a smaller franchise made it to the big time.

His threads keep you "thinking?" About? Okay...nevermind. LOL.

When your name is shortened to "nut" it fits in this context. :p

ETA: Let's remember the Red Sox were the "never gonna make its" of the MLB for decades. And the Pats used to be an NFL joke. Both are "top tier" now, though, aren't they?


Ohhhhhhh you got that right, baby!

Except for, y'know, David Wright (25), Hanley Ramirez (24), either of the Uptons , etc. etc. etc. . . . plus every one of those guys except Hanley can actually catch the ball, while Fielder and Braun are historically bad fielders (to the point that over 35 runs worth of Braun's offensive contribution was negated by his butcher duty in the field).

Plus, historically, TV shares are not really based on team quality - so your premise is sketchy at best.

Really, this is a long-hand way of saying this:

I don't even know who oldu is, why is he apologizing? Are you an adult? This thread is absolutely ridiculous.

INTERNET SERIOUS BIZ

AF, I think you're referencing another southern letter snob for whom it apparently does matter the letters, and we're not all in this together. And while she is currently getting praise heaped on her from all corners of GC for being so "representative of the NPC", in actuality, some crests are apparently just not good enough for her to stitch in a hoop.

Gag.
And the name of my city is spelled Milwaukee. Thanks.

Though those comments smack of sorority snobbery, you have to admit there are vast differences between all of the NPC orgs and some, though not all, would view such differences as making one org "better" than another. Small isn't necessarily bad (like Theta Phi Alpha) but size is believed by most to relate to success. Just my two cents.

NutBrnHair 03-17-2008 02:41 PM

Consider the context, please
