Z początku roku sporo specjalistów kredytowych zapewniało nas , że o kredyt konsumencki będzie w znacznym stopniu prościej. Spadało dużo sceptycznych wypowiedzi o wcielonych rekomendacjach przez KNF, jakie sprawiły, iż multum ludzi musiało sięgać po oferty pozabankowe. Tymczasem na zapewnieniach się skończyło. Dalej dość ciężko jest osiągnąć pożyczkę w instytucji bankowej osobom, jakie pracują na umowę o dzieło czy umowę zlecenie. Wprawdzie aktualnie instytucje bankowe coraz częściej redukują całą drogę kontroli i akceptacji wniosku do minimum, to jednakże ciągle model zatrudnienia ma kluczowe znaczenie. Dla osób, jakie pracują na tak zwane umowy śmieciowe nadal wyłączne wyjście to pożyczki.

COMMENTARY | Wisconsinites are angry. They are angry that the Milwaukee Brewers are playing really bad baseball right now. They would rather the Brewers weren’t battling with the hated (and rebuilding) Chicago Cubs for last place in the NL Central. View full post on Yahoo! Sports – MLB – Milwaukee Brewers News

Much has been said and written about Paul Molitor’s messy breakup with the Milwaukee Brewers back in the early 1990s, but the organization retired his No. 4 in 1999 and he remains a well-respected icon of the franchise to this day. Of course, he’s been mostly affiliated with the Minnesota Twins for the last decade, the team with whom he played his last years in the big leagues as well as the team that represents his hometown of St. Paul. Last offseason there was a big shakeup in the Twins’ coaching ranks. Manager Ron Gardenhire and pitching coach Rick Anderson were retained, but a number of coaches were fired and new people brought in as Wisconsin-native GM Terry Ryan pivoted towards the future. Interestingly, Molitor, who was a candidate for the Twins’ manager job when Tom Kelly retired more than a decade ago, did not receive an offer from the Twins organization at that time after many people thought he would be a great fit for Gardenhire’s coaching staff in 2013. Molitor himself said he would ‘probably be open’ to interviewing for a position in October of 2012 and said then that coaching at this point in his life might be a fit. ‘Timing-wise for me, I might have an interest’, he said. Perhaps there was a stigma attached to Molitor’s candidacy for a coaching position on the Twins in 2013, in that Gardenhire would have Molitor sitting there as the heir apparent in case the Twins got off to a bad start. Well, the Twins got off to an OK start, but have since faltered badly, and are currently on an eight-game losing skid. Their 18-25 record is still better than the woeful Brewers, though, who are at 18-27. The Twins and Brewers have a lot in common and I’ve sometimes thought that in some parallel universe the teams could be combined to form a regional superpower (or if, say, history had been different and Wisconsin and Minnesota were somehow one big state called, I dunno, Wissota). Anyway, Ron Gardenhire’s hot seat is about as hot as Brewers manager Ron Roenicke’s. In the case of Gardenhire, he’s not signed beyond this season but he’s been the manager of the Twins since 2002, and he’s guided the team to a lot of success. There’s been little indication from the Twins’ front office that they plan to fire Gardenhire regardless of how this season plays out. That would seem to mean Molitor would have little chance of hooking on with the Twins as manager or coach in the near future. On the other, the Brewers are in a downward spiral that few teams could match in terms of the breadth and depth of ugly, horribly played baseball. This is just my speculation, but my guess is that Molitor would probably only agree to manage in three places, were he inclined to take such a job: Minnesota, Milwaukee and Toronto. Those are the three teams he played for in his brilliant, Hall of Fame career. Molitor has spent time as a hitting coach with the Seattle Mariners and also has served as a roving instructor for the Twins for many years. It’s unclear how strong his desire is to shed the freedom and flexibility of an instructor’s role for the pressure and shackles of a big-league manager’s job, but with the winds of change possibly, though not likely, swirling around the Brewers these days, I wonder if Molitor could end up as manager of the Milwaukee Brewers one day. It’s unclear how good of a manager Molly would be, given that he has little experience in the role. Surely, having the guy known as ‘The Ignitor’ calling the shots couldn’t hurt a team that often appears uninspired and lethargic.

Jean Segura is the sheriff of sucktown right now, with no challengers in sight. Photo: Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports Welcome to the 3rd installment of Brewers Banalities.  If you are joining us a little late, here is what you have missed… If you are not sure what exactly a banality is, it is just a fancy way of saying “old news” or “cliché”.  Essentially, once a month I am going to lay out a couple of Brewers issues or topics that may be a little played out, but then I will give them my spin.  I have been told that my spin is sometimes stupid, uneducated, and even immature. That should just about sum it up.  I wanted to keep this segment fresh though, so with the Summer Movie season in full swing…the theme this month is “Movies”.  A lot has happened over the past month, so let’s get to it.  Rickie Weeks’ Bogus Journey I know that many of you are Weeks sympathizers, but this has gone on long enough and it was way past time for Roenicke to do something.  Yes, Weeks leads the team in walks.  Yes, his OBP is still in the upper 200’s.  But what else is there to promote him staying at 2nd base on an everyday basis?  If this was anyone other than Rickie Weeks, I feel like we would have run him out-of-town by now.  His batting average is .168, he has 51 strikeouts, and he only has 2 more hits than walks (25 hits and 23 walks).  It would be irresponsible for a team that is in last place to continue to watch a multi-million dollar player go up there to swing at moths and mosquitoes.  Add to his 2013 resume his 5 errors, which is already a third of his total from all of last season.  At this point Weeks has to split time with Jeff Bianchi, there is no other option.  Weeks has no one to blame but himself, his horrible play forced RRR’s hand.  His crusty, unmoisturized hands.  At this point I see no reason why Scooter Gennett will not be making his MLB debut in September.  Total bummer R-Dub’s.    The A-Ram Rises Never thought I would say this…but I am so glad that Aramis Ramirez is back.  Until he came back to the lineup, not a single Brewer had homered out of the clean-up spot.  Since his return, he has hit 3 HR’s and driven in 12 runs, while batting .328 (as of Tuesday May 21st).  Even though Yuni B. did a commendable job filling in, we can all see now that his flash of excellence was simply that…a flash.  Ramirez has also taken some pressure off of Ryan Braun, which is evident when you look at Braun’s decrease in strikeouts over the past couple of weeks.  Even though Ramirez has made a significant impact, the team still finds themselves circling the toilet bowl faster and faster each day.  Thankfully, Ramirez is not the reason for the current turd trajectory we are on.  He is the White Knight of our Gotham.  Kyle Lohse: Into Darkness In my opinion, Kyle Lohse is the best pitcher on this staff.  So why is he 1-5 with a 3.76 ERA?  I don’t know the answer to that question.  The obvious answer is run support, but I think it goes deeper than that.  Perhaps the universe is displeased with him over his weird little soul patch.  If this is the case, I believe that it is time for him to follow in the long and historic line…of Brewers mustaches.  Without the power of the stache, the team will never know that he means business.  They are so used to seeing that soul patch wearing Cardinal red, that they cannot overcome the desire to see him lose.  Therefore, the only true solution is to change the teams’ perception.  Easiest way to accomplish this, Lohse needs to get to work on that lip sweater.  It is the only way for him to rise from the darkness… Blake Lalli Up in Smoke Blake Lalli was sent down to Triple- A last week to make room for the Wrath of K-Rod and the Return of Jeff Bianchi.  If the news would not have been reported, I probably would not have noticed that he was gone.  Lalli now joins the long list of players who made the roster based on Spring Training play, only to be cast aside later in the season: Erick Almonte,

A bit of news coming in late this morning on the minor league front, as sources have indicated that Brewers' supplemental 2012 first-round draft pick and now former low-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers outfielder Mitch Haniger has been promoted to the Brevard County Manatees, Milwaukee's advanced-A affiliate. Rumor of the transaction had been floating around late last night. However, the news was made official by the Manatees' Twitter page at 11 a.m. this morning. 2012 Supplemental First Round selection Mitch Haniger has been added to the Brevard County roster from Wisconsin.— Manatees Baseball (@BCManatees) May 23, 2013 Haniger, 22, was ranked as the organization's No. 10 overall prospect by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo prior to the season, despite the fact that his inaugural campaign in the system was cut short by a PCL tear in his right leg last July. The news of Haniger's promotion had been anticipated for quite some time. Over 41 games with Wisconsin this season, Haniger posted a slash line of .297/.399/.510 with 19 extra base hits, including five home runs, seven stolen bases and 25 walks to just 24 strikeouts in 178 plate appearances. Given his success at the plate, it seemed only a matter of time before the Santa Clara, Calif. native made his first jump up Milwaukee's minor league ladder. "I don't see why he can't be an everyday player in the big leagues and have a significant impact," Wisconsin manager Matt Erickson said of Haniger earlier in the season. "He's going to be a gap-to-gap guy and he'll steal a couple bases...and his arm is his biggest strength right now. I don't think he's a 40 home run guy, but I think he'll hit 20 to 25 home runs (per season)." Other news: Manatees infielder Adrian Williams has been placed on the disabled list, retroactive to May 21.

This week's Brew Crew Ball Tracking Poll was open from Monday through the day Tuesday and received 181 responses. Here are some notable results: Ron Roenicke's approval rating, which was at 71% three weeks ago, has been cut in half and now sits at 35%. His disapproval rating is higher than his approval this week for the first time. Rick Kranitz's disapproval (56%) is well more than double his approval (22%) this week. 41% of fans said they're watching or listening to fewer games following the team's 17-25 start, but just 19% said they'll attend fewer games. 71% of fans voted to continue to start Jonathan Lucroy at catcher most days.

Hart hits field, to gradually ramp up activities View full post on Yahoo! Sports – MLB – Milwaukee Brewers News

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Thursday edition of Brewer Daily News. Milwaukee Brewers’ veteran starter Kyle Lohse will skip his next start in the rotation due to a problem with his elbow. In the second bit of news, the Brewers (18-27) lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers (19-26) yesterday, dropping the series. (more…)

Some things to read in your pajamas. The Brewers fell behind early and never looked back on Wednesday afternoon, losing 9-2 to the Dodgers. We've got the recap, if you missed it. These renewed struggles may be reaching their boiling point with Mark Attanasio, who appeared on TV yesterday during the game and referred to the recent losing as a "team-wide problem." He also said "I want to be honest with our fans - I don't like what I'm seeing right now." For a further look at how talented but remarkably disappointing this Brewer team has been, here's Jack Moore with our Tweet of the Day: Amazing how this Brewers team could conceivably have 4 All-Stars (Braun, Segura, Gomez, Henderson) and is totally awful — Jack Moore (@jh_moore) May 22, 2013 Other notes from the field: Alfredo Figaro allowed a solo home run in the third inning, snapping the bullpen's 20.1 inning scoreless streak. He was the first Brewer relief pitcher to allow a run since he also allowed a run last Thursday. The Brat won the sausage race. The Brewers are off today before returning to action at home against the Pirates tomorrow. Marco Estrada will take on A.J. Burnett at 7:10, and Chad Thornburg has the MLB.com preview Dave Begel of OnMilwaukee.com says the upcoming games could determine Ron Roenicke's future with the Brewers. Looking ahead another day, Kyle Lohse is going to skip his scheduled start on Saturday due to elbow inflammation, but is expected to be ready when his spot in the rotation comes up again next week. Mike Fiers is expected to start in his place. Meanwhile, the injury news is better for Tom Gorzelanny and Chris Narveson. Gorzelanny could be ready to be activated off the DL as soon as tomorrow, and Narveson's rehab has progressed to the point where he could head out on a rehab assignment soon. I briefly mentioned Jean Segura above, but here's another reminder of the remarkable season he's having: He entered the 2013 season with zero major league home runs, but by May he was appearing alongside Ryan Braun in David Schoenfield of ESPN's look at baseball's best hitting combos. Despite Segura, though, the Brewers are still just 4-16 in May. Brandon Berg of Chippewa.com says "a little bit of everything" is going wrong for the Crew right now. Rickie Weeks' performance is, of course, one of the things that has gone wrong. He went 1-for-4 yesterday to raise his batting average to .169, and Ron Roenicke Stole My Baseball has a look at the JS' obsession with his poor start. Jim Henderson saved the Brewers' lone win in the Dodgers series, along with their only win in the Cardinals series before that. Todd Rosiak talked to Henderson about staying sharp despite limited opportunities. In the minors: Nashville broadcaster Jeff Hem has interviews with Sounds hitting coach Bob Skube and Brewer minor league field coordinator and catching instructor Charlie Greene. J.P. Breen of Disciples of Uecker has updated scouting reports on some of the organization's top prospects. Adam McCalvy has a great story on Wisconsin pitcher Damien Magnifico and his efforts to raise money for charity following this week's tornado in Oklahoma. Huntsville Star pitcher and former indy baller Alan Williams has been suspended for 50 games for his second positive test for a drug of abuse. Back in Milwaukee, the Brewers may not be playing well but at least they look reasonably good. They're one of six candidates to switch back to a retro look in Rob Neyer of Baseball Nation's latest poll, but are receiving just 9% of the vote. Maybe the Brewers can also lead baseball in nonsensical beer names. The Leinenkugels' brew that has recently been introduced at Miller Park is now known as "Bernie's Barrelman Ale." Around baseball: Blue Jays: Released pitcher Miguel Batista.Cardinals: Placed reliever Fernando Salas on the DL with shoulder inflammation.Cubs: Placed pitcher Shawn Camp on the DL with a sprained right big toe and claimed pitcher Eduar
