    He looks good, though - nothing close is getting called in his favor.

    I literally got goosebumps watching the NLDS Game 5 highlight just now. Actually, I just realized it's still on my DVR.

    I called Garcia's hotel room and woke him up 25 minutes early, so we're all good.

    Hey guys, the Brewers are in 3rd place right now.

    I have no experience with cell reception at Miller Park, but some places are just bad spots for coverage. My graduate school was one - it was hard to even get a voice signal there. There's also a stretch of a couple hundred feet on my former commute when I would always lose reception, no matter the carrier.

    It's going to be very painful to watch Prince bat in a few minutes.

    The bottom line is that the Reds, Cards, and Brewers should all be pretty good and any of the three could win the division. To pick one instead of the other isn't a big deal. Some ESPN analysts have picked the Brewers to win the division. John Kruk was weird in that he picked the Brewers to grab a wild card spot and then lose to the Tigers in the World Series.

    The walls looks like green screens. It's obnoxious and I'm getting a headache.

    Conrad is pretty bad, anyway, so him not being on the roster doesn't bother me.

    Take it easy. It's just a silly commercial.

    We should ask Roenicke's dentist for his impression.

    I really like this Impressions of Roenicke in 2011 thread.

    Wilson, Counsell, Hairston, McGehee, Kotsay were all there as well. I stand corrected....however Counsell seems to fit Mr. Negative. I could see McGehee and to some extent Kotsay. I don't see that for Counsell. He seemed like a guy that everyone really liked, unless his subpar performance was wearing on him or something. I could see how McGehee might have been a downer since his season was such a struggle. Kotsay seemed to really like the young'uns, but maybe he was a "get off my lawn" type of vet. Hawkins and Saito definitely seemed like they were young at heart and very upbeat. Yuni always came off as happy, too. Prince...hmm...don't know. Guess I don't really care in the end.

    I was mildly surprised that the water seemed to spout on only one side of the "feature." Maybe it's still being tweaked. I believe the water spout is actually a "splash" when the marlin dives into the "water," hence no spout when the marlin rises from the other side.

    Trading isn't a contest to see how badly you can fleece the other team. It doesn't matter who, if anyone, "won" a trade. What matters is if a team feels they got what they wanted out of the deal. I'm pretty sure the Brewers feel great about the Sabathia trade.

    Matt LaPorta was optioned to AAA. For those who still think the Brewers gave up too much for C.C....the big piece that the Brewers traded didn't even make the opening day roster of the CLEVELAND INDIANS.

    Completely?

    There's no comparison. At all. I mean, just look at it. LOOK. AT. IT.

    Look, here's the bottom line. Lucroy has shown to be a decent enough hitter in his 200 games so far in the majors and the Brewers management almost certainly believes he can/will improve based on his minor league success and his (though I'm obviously not privy to this) strong work ethic. Overall, he's been pretty solid defensively, too. His ability to throw out base runners still needs work, but he was tremendous at blocking balls and helping his pitchers get strikes. From everything I can tell, he seems to be quickly developing into a team leader, as well. All that adds up to Lucroy being a guy the Brewers would like to hang onto for a while. The team is taking a small risk that they are wasting money if he doesn't develop any further in exchange for cost certainty and a possible long-term bargain and he is potentially sacrificing a bigger payday for salary security. On the Brewers' end, it's a pretty minimal risk with a hell of a lot more upside than downside. Makes total sense.
