Brewers / Packers / Walker and the FOXGOP

Stat of the day.

At Aaron Rodgers current interception rate. If he plays EVERY game he will break Favre's all time intersection record somewhere around 2049.

Also - he is the first QB to throw back to back 400 yard games without an interception.

Then there are the Brewers - HEY - FS1 announcer bozo's, are the Dodgers in the drivers seat?  like the Rockies were?

I am loving watching the announcers tripping over themselves trying to figure out the Brewers.

Bullpenning is not a new idea at all.  It's been tried a number of times.  Bill James was hired by the Red Sox a few decades ago to do bullpenning and failed miserably. And thus - the old school arm chair managers said - it can't be done.  The PROBLEM is, you need good pitchers.

It's like HDR photography.  There are a LOT of crap HDR images. In photography you need a good image and THEN you can augment it.  Bullpenning you NEED good pitchers and then you can make them better.

And then Arcia - NOT a surprise.  Listening to Milwaukee broadcasters in September they kept saying Arcia was crushing the ball in batting practice.  In September he had a .409 Slugging and August .377.  those are not weak numbers.  I read one article before the playoffs that had a headline something like " Arcia is the Brewers secret weapon".

The crew have been underdogs in every game.  All 7.

Starting with the Cubs game 163
+110 Win
+142 Win
+133 Win
+140 Win
+110 Win
+102 Lose
+151 Win     

and they have now won 16 out the last 19 games and 13 of the last 14 and are underdogs?   OH - big dogs tonight  +130.

The Brewers starters have given up ONE run in 7 games.   And Hader is NOT dominating the Dodgers - he is embarrassing them.

Brewers are now a 61% chance to get to the World Series and 19% chance to win it, and are underdogs in the next 2 games.

Speaking of Governor Walker  - You do realize that if you are poor and want Medicaid in Wisconsin the Gov passed a bill where you will have to pay for it. Poor people must have a job to get Medicaid.  IF YOU ARE HOMELESS - JUST GO HOME.

YUP - it's passed but the FOXGOP are waiting to implement it until AFTER the elections  - NO MORE FREE RIDE poor people. Obviously you are poor because you are lazy.  But in reality they are poor because they lack money.

Scott Walker, in fight for political life, slow-walks Medicaid work rules

Last night my buddy Elwood could not watch the Brewers OR the Packers.  No cable.  DJ said why does not get Hulu, it's only $6 a month.  Well . . . .that $6 goes for food and transportation. Not entertainment.

Once you get poor it's HARD to get out of being poor without money.  Its proven that if you give poor people money over time they slowly get out of poordum.  The can actually BUY a razor and maybe a new shirt.  They can afford the tiny things you and me take for granted.

Did you know that Manhatten has the same vacancy rate as Columbus downtown? 

*****************

A new survey found that 42 percent of U.S. voters ages 18 to 29 are not at all satisfied with their choice of congressional candidates this coming November compared with 23 percent of voters 65 and up that are likewise dissatisfied.

So the 65 year old's who love the congressional candidates (not me) make it as hard as they can on working young to vote .. is that democracy?

Wide gaps in how younger and older voters view the midterms



Nuff said.
