Figured I'd just keep it at one thread.

Heard about Prince on 1250 and 1510, someone else can link if they find it and want to. i think its bulllllll ****. didn't see the game, but from what i hear its questionable he even touched him. but ill leave that discussion to people who saw it.

Read about Spurling and Gross on Brewerfan.net, they mentioned hearing it on 1510. if this is true, i for one am sad to see spurling go. i guess we couldn't keep 13 pitchers forever, but i thought he had performed well. hope gross can keep the bat going after getting some ab's in nashville. maybe he's coming up to address the fielder suspension, although i would assume that will be appealed for a bit.

that link shows both stories if you scroll down. seeing the spurling numbers they show, i'm glad he's gone.

I'm sure Prince will appeal the suspension.

Yeah Prince will probably appeal and it might be lowered to a game or 2.

At least there is some good news (spurling)

They forgot about Capuano. He should have followed Spurling to the streets.

hmmm so let me get this straight, Derek Lee gets five games for fighting and causing the benches to clear, and Prince gets 3 **** games for arguing? WTF IS THAT bull!!

My first thought as well. Young and Lee get 5 games for actually throwing punches and Fielder get 3 for "bumping" an umpire.

ETA: Glad to see that about Spurling too. He wasn't good and I've been calling for his DFA for a couple months now. Glad they finally listened to me. :wink:

This is complete crap, I thought for sure it was only going to be a 1 gamer if at all any games. I trust there will be an appeal and a reduction.

I thought 2 games would be the most he'd get. I do like that comparison with Lee and Young getting 5 for throwing punches, but Fielder gets 3 because his fat ass got too close to another's fat ass.

Tellin' the ump the truth.

Lou got suspended 4 games for bumping an umpire back in June.
We didn't see him bump the ump.
Now of course, a manager getting suspended means nothing since they still make the lineups and call all the shots from the press box.

I think Prince should drop his appeal ASAP. His appeal may not be heard until September during the stretch run but looking at your schedule you guys have some big games ahead of you. Reds, D'backs, Giants, Cubs.

Eh, go ahead and sit out vs. the D'Backs. We don't mind sweeping you guys. ;)

Doesn't really matter..

Only joking, so don't shoot me.

Add another loss in the overall record and another loss at home and I'd say it's spot on.

All I cared about was the road record, but w/e.

Thanks I couldn't figure that out on my own. That big red circle around it didn't tip me off. :wink:
