  1. Melvin, Jack Z, etc. are hopefully proud of this too.
  2. I agree that there is alot of smoke being blown around. Why would a team trade for McClung if the Brewers openly announced that Villy is in the rotation and Vargas is in the pen. Teams will quickly figure out the McClung is headed to waivers and will be available without giving up anything.
  3. I feel bad for Cappy and glad the Brewers have depth in the rotation. Has anyone gone through 2 TJ's and pitched effectively the 2nd time back? It's a long road back and I wish Cappy the best.
  4. It's getting harder for Yost/Melvin to justify Cappy in the rotation and Villy, Parra and even Vargas are getting the job done. Not sure what the trade market is for him but his left arm hasn't fallen off yet so I would think someone would want to take a chance on him.
  5. So if your pitch limit is 20 for that game and you walk the first 5 guys on 4 pitches each, the inning is over and only 2 runs score?
  6. He said it to defend the "rule" that 4 legit players appear in ST games. The quote by itself is taken out of context. From the JSOnline- Yost wanted to give all of his regulars the day off against the Cubs after playing them in front of the team's investors Friday and Saturday and having split-squad games Sunday. But he started first baseman Prince Fielder, rightfielder Corey Hart and second baseman Rickie Weeks, with the fourth "regular" being Tony Gwynn Jr. "Anthony Gwynn's got a hell of a chance of starting on opening day," said Yost, referring to the fact that centerfielder Mike Cameron has to serve a 25-game suspension at the start of the season.
  7. that makes one believe the Brewers will be in contention for the long haul. Their system is set to reload if needed in a couple years.
  8. I think his younger brother is in the Cubs system.
  9. I think its the same guy that called in during halftime in the 80's to ask why Blair Keil wasn't playing.
  10. I love the first Saturday when I drive home from work and finally can listen to Bob and Jim. It's a sure sign that Spring is here (or in the case of this winter - here soon I hope).
  11. So, in a few hours (when it's March 1), it'll be time? It makes Saturday a MUST win game!
  12. I feel better knowing all the pitchers are struggling, must be something in the water today. I'm not going to write off the 2008 season yet! If it was March maybe.
  13. I think he gets traded to a team that suffers an injury during ST. And futhermore, if we cut Vargas or trade him for virtually zero does it mean: a) we've come a long way as an organization with an ability to disgard pitchers who have some value, or we have definately come along way as he would have been a 3rd starter back in the day b) Claudio's stint proves that we've made a mistake in our long term planning Why do you think its was a mistake? We have 7 other starters that are better. If we still had DD, where would he fit into the rotation - I think Sheets, Suppan, Yo and Villy would still be ahead of him and he's probably equal to the guys he would be competing for the 5th spot with. We've moved ahead and its a good thing.
  14. Do you think Yost was sitting at home saying to himself a few days after it was picked up, "Hey they didn't announce my extension yet." so he call Doug - Ned - Hey Doug, do you want me to come in so we can announce my extension to the media. Doug - Hey Ned, I have bad phone reception here, I will have to call you back later. Click.
  15. I want - Sheets Suppan Yo Villy and Parra with Bush and Cappy in pen, Vargas traded I suspect - Sheets Suppan Yo Villy and Cappy with Bush in pen, Parra in Nashville and Vargas traded
  16. I thought he showed potential in 2006 when he was up, he's only 24 (will turn 25 in May) and is a lefty. Since he is hardly ever mentioned as a prospect, I am curious what the thoughts are on Zach and what his ceiling is. I see him as a back end of the rotation guy and being a lefty arm in the bullpen later in his career.
  17. I would think Lou is better served starting or playing more at AAA than being a backup in MIL with the potential for 22 starts (assuming Kendall stays healthy and produces) since Yost is reluctant to PH for the catcher to ensure there is one on the bench for extra innings.
  18. Checking out the AA teams of the early 90s pretty much explains the Crew's record in the late 90s - it's nice having some talent being developed now.
  19. Great, now we all have to try to figure out why he and Graffy got into it. Because they both are beyond frustration with how bad this team has been playing along with the rest of us. I think its a spark.
  20. Hey did a dugout brawl start the Cubs hot streak? Maybe this will kickstart the Crew back to first place.
  21. I think Weeks has the right attitude and won't become a headcase. Yost pointed out a few weeks back that when he pinch hit Graffy for Weeks and Graffy won the game that Weeks was one of the first players out on the field to congratulate Graffy. Some guys would've still been on the bench pouting as the team celebrated. I have high hopes that Weeks will be recovered from the wrist next year and become the star he was destined to be.
  22. I have never ever seen a worse pitching performance. Ben Hendrickson vs. the Twins last year comes to mind. That was painful to sit thru.
  23. My thoughts...I love this team and will enjoy the next two months more than anything. The Brewers are in first place and its August! Packer training camp started on Friday and I really don't care because the Brewers take up all my time.
  24. I agree 100% ... I plan to take the next 2 days off from the Brewers and turn the calendar to August and start fresh!!
  25. I like the way the alternates look for almost every team...maybe it'll eventually do away the grey's altogether. They tried that in the 80s when almost everyone wore baby blues on the road. I say keep the grey!
