7/6/08 Pirates (Duke) at Brewers (Suppan), 1:05 CT

JJ should go buy a lottery ticket.

[PeaveyFury]

Breaking report that a CC deal might be done, for those that aren't paying attention to the 160-page thread on the rumors forum at this point....

[crewcrazy]

Haha...that play was awesome. In and out of Hardy's glove on the liner, but the runner on first started to go back and Nady stopped running out of the box -- easy DP. Everything is bouncing the right way today...hopefully they save some mojo for the Colorado series.

It's funny to me hear the singing of "Roll Out the Barrel", a song of gleeful jubilation from a crowd of people that have yet to realize that the Brewers have likely netted Sabathia.

Also, Rock just said "Small Sample"! What isn't going right today?!

[cruiserx43]

Jim Powell just said the "M" word!

[hurricanecrush]

JJ sucks.

 

Edit: It was actually Ned's fault.

[thablingster]

The 8th inning guy is getting ready. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif

 

Can he hold this 5 run lead?

[TooLiveBrew]

"M" word

 

?

[Menotti80]

[cruiserx43]

Mota

"[tt]According to a Major League source, the Indians and Brewers have completed a trade in which Sabathia, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, would be sent to Milwaukee for Double-A outfielder Matt LaPorta and two other prospects. But that rumor could not immediately be confirmed."

 

Indians.com beat writer's blog

Menotti, clearly you need to use a browser with tabs. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Schlitz001]

How credible is this source?

[hurricanecrush]

can anyone give an update for those who dont want to leave the IGT

Two words: tabbed browsing

It'd be like McCalvy reporting it for us.

 

!!!!!

[cruiserx43]

I'm just going to leave for this inning and if the Pirates score less than 5 runs I'll be happy.

[Menotti80]

i have tabbed browsing and use it regularly, but im so lazy today refresh is just about the only button im clicking. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[SeriesFinale]

Mota getting the first guy on a 3-2 count is big

[TooLiveBrew]

Watching this broadcast right now is the definition of "dramatic irony"

 

It's like a great, real-world Shakespearian twist to this game. Hearing them talk about the pitching, our "ace" Ben Sheets... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

"Dramatic irony is when the words and actions of the characters of a work of literature have a different meaning for the reader than they do for the characters. This is the result of the reader having a greater knowledge than the characters themselves"

[TooLiveBrew]

"Should be an exciting 24-48 hours for the Brewers on the trade front" -- BA

 

He's read the report, it sounds like.

[Shootkick1000]

Lo and Behold..our 8th inning ace came through without any damage.

 

Probably realizing a more crowded bullpen may be in our future http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[TooLiveBrew]

Methinks word about the Sabathia update has probably started to spread in Miller Park

[razzzorsharp]

Mota for two maybe?

[SeriesFinale]

What Sabathia update? An unconfirmed rumor on a blog?

 

I mean, I think it's going down but it still seems like a lot of the same until there's official confirmed word.

Despite not being elected to the All Star team, I have a credible source which is reporting that he has been elected to the Hall of Fame.
