more youtube

Not sure if anyone actually watches these when I post them but I like hunting for them, so the jokes on you!

Have you heard my Mom refer to her pending grandson as "Tragdor" and wondered what the heck she was talking about? Tragdor the Burninator - Homestarrunner

Try not to smile while watching this: I Want You Back - The Jackson 5

My favorite video ever. Just incredibly powerful: Hurt - Johnny Cash

Hands down best live show I've ever seen before 7PM. Wolfmother - Joker and the Thief

Ben Harper song from a friend of mine. Walk Away (Ben Harper) - Jon Palmer

A guitar lesson. You MUST make it to the 1:30 mark - it gets crazy. Brian Setzer

Live at the Grammys. Kanye West & Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger

(here's some from last time)

Too much

It's hard not to like what the Brewers have already gotten done this offseason. The fact of the matter is you don't win late in the year (especially the playoffs) without a solid bullpen.

The Brewers lost the only rock in their bullpen (Cordero) already this offseason along with 'next best' Scott Linebrink. My personal feeling on Linebrink is that more is being made of him leaving than should be... he's been great in the past but what did he really do for the Brewers last year?

Getting Torres, Riske, and now Gagne into our bullpen more than makes up for the loss... assuming any of them can step up and close... which brings me to the title of this post. We gave Gagne a 1 year contract worth $10M... wow, that's an awful lot for a guy who has had a pretty significant rash of injuries the last few years and was downright awful much of last year. He was one of the best for a few years there but this is just too much risk for that money.

NFL Leading Scorer

While we were watching the Cowboys v. Packers game a couple weeks back I made the comment that Packers kicker Mason Crosby is the NFL's leading scorer. I had forgotten about it until just now but he still is.
