On Braun will start All-Star Game

Really???? I had no idea that's how it works... They're always pulling starters with less than 100 pitches even if they're doing well... Out after 6 with new pitchers in the 7th, 8th and 9th. Sometimes they get to go throught the 7th, but rarely.

I've actually watched most of the games and even been to 6 of them this year. I am a long time Brewers fan and I've never understood the hoopla surrounding Sheets. As soon as he got his huge contract is when all his mysterious injuries started. He is now finally pitching the way he should be. Suppan is also terrible and Bush could be better. I just think there are much better players on that team that don't get the recognition they deserve because everyone is too busy talking about Sheets. Also, what I meant was that I think the good Brewers players know that HAVE to score A LOT on days he pitches. They're also learning to do the same with Suppan on the mound. It would also be nice if the other starters would be given chances to pitch complete games when their day is going well. Why is Sheets the only one to be given that option?

I'll be glad when Ben Sheets is gone. He's only 10-2 this year because the rest of the team knows they need to score more runs than he gives up every outing. Isn't he due for some weird injury, anyway?
On Jaycees' Fourth of July festivities at new venue
Posted on July 3 at 9:44 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
The last time I went to the festivities was several years ago. The reason? A wife was trying to get her husband to leave the grounds. He was obviously drunk by then and I saw him hit her and push his little boy to the ground. My son and a dozen other young kids and their parents witnessed it and a few little ones started crying because it scared them so much. It kind of takes the fun out of the day.I have an alcoholic in my family. I see it enough there. I don't need to subject my family to it in public. Thank goodness for Freedomfest!!! I know I wasn't very good in math so maybe that's why I can't figure out how beer tent = family fun either. Why can't the Jaycees have another fundraiser during the year just for those 21 and older? Have the beer tent at that and bring in some local bands. I'll save my money and go to the 4-H fair. No alcohol and still a lot of fun.
On Cow couture: Bessie statue fine as good idea goes bad

It is just a fake cow. If local businesses want to pay to dress her up, how is that hurting any of you? I swear people in this city stay awake nights just trying to find something to complain about. You need to harness this energy for good things, not evil. You're probably the same people that push your way through stores, cut me off in traffic, generally just spend your day being as rude to people as possible. Would it kill people in this city to occasionally smile at other people, hold doors open, etc.? Life is way too short. Forget "city of parks"...it should be "city of I'm the only one that matters".

Would there still be the same uproar on this board if McD's had put Ronald McDonald hair on her? I think not. You people have way too much time on your hands if this little thing is upsetting you so much.
On City installing new manhole covers
Posted on June 23 at 1:38 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
It really is getting old hearing all the complaints EVERY TIME the city wants to spend money. Any time something can be improved, it should be seen as a good thing. Do we really need shiny new manhole covers with our logo on them? Probably not, but if they need to be replaced anyway, who cares what's on them? Janesville is a city that keeps growing. We need to spend money to keep up with it. Sure, there are a lot of areas in Janesville that need help but we have to start somewhere. I'd rather see small steps than none at all.
On City considers fix for dangerous intersection

I've seen cars run red lights in front of police at least a dozen times over the past year. Not once has the driver been pulled over. One officer was almost in the middle of the intersection when a car went through long after the red light appeared and he did nothing. Does there have to be an accident before someone gets ticketed for not yielding the right of way? I'm serious...is there someone with the police dept. here that can answer this question? Until the puublic actually starts seeing JPD take these driving issues seriously and start pulling over AND ticketing stupid drivers, the mentality is not going to change. People will continue to think they can do anything they want on the road.

Almos everyday the paper lists accidents caused by people running red lights, turn arrows turning red included. Nothing is going to stop the many, many rude drivers here that think driving laws don't pertain to them. The city population sign should read "1" since everyone here thinks they're the only one that matters. Slow down, stay off the phone, quit cutting people off and show some respect and consideration for the others on the road with you.
