  1. Well, Hudson is off the list. Back with the Braves: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4647417 But, as ESPN.com speculates, the Braves could look to trade Vasquez, so you never know what may happen.
  2. Tim Lincecum smokes pot? I would have never guessed by looking at him!
  3. Well, am I happy for CC, at least. I'll always love him for 2008.
  4. I think it's pretty narcissistic of Harvey Moy to name his restaurant after himself, too.
  5. But how much money did he get? This is the question that must be answered!
  6. Yes, your "friend" is correct. And the throw from the mound to 1st is far less routine than you may think.
  7. Actually, at his very best, he comes dangerously close to pitching no-hitters.
  8. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
  9. The huge comeback at Cleveland, capped by Prince's grand slam is easily my favorite memory of the 2009 season.
  10. The Brewers would have to re-sign Wes Helms for that.

  12. Cardinals fans are too classy to vilify Holliday.
  13. Regardless of what the numbers say, in my opinion, Prince actually looked good in the field this season. No, he doesn't have the range of some other guys and his short stature can't help him at that position, but he seemed to make a lot of great plays. I was impressed.
  14. Favre will lead Minnesota over the Tigers single-handedly because he's like a kid out there.
  15. I watched that over and over a couple days ago - listening to the announcers cackle with delight doesn't get old. Awesome.
  16. Just tried it and it worked. Very cool. Granted, now that I finally have a fancy phone with internet and all that, I use MLB.com Gamecast to follow games if need be, but this is very nice for quick update without having to open up the web browser, navigate to the desired page, wait for it to load, etc.
  17. Maybe if the Brewers hired Dave Duncan, he could instill some class into the organization.

  19. HOW DARE THOSE TERRIBLE SO-AND-SO'S HAVE FUN! HOW DARE THEY!
  20. Warning: arbitrary time span coming up. Since July 20, Gerut's line is .292/.382/.500/.882. As brwrsfan said, Gerut has started to play well.
  21. Very true. I don't think anyone thought the Brewers were going to be the team to beat this year, but I honestly think the playoffs were a reasonable goal. And from there, we know anybody has a shot to win it all. Think about how many things went wrong. Bush and Suppan injuries (and resulting horrid pitching from both as a result, in addition to missed time), major drop-off's by Parra, Villy, and McClung, Weeks was lost early on, Hardy fell off a cliff, and Hart significantly underperformed and when he did pick it back up, he went on the DL. On top of that, our bench position players did as close to nothing as any bench can do for a while. Counsell and McGehee have gone above and beyond expectations this year, but that was about it. If all or most of those guys either don't get hurt for extended periods of time or play at least close to expectations, this season looks much different. Obviously, all teams have injuries and underperformers, but the Brewers experience a crap-storm of it this season. That's not to say that Melvin and Macha couldn't have done a better job, but man, I don't think anyone saw all of these problems coming.
  22. Obviously JJ hasn't hit well this year. Sending guys down so they can work things out, even guys with a very good track record, isn't unusual. I'm not all the way on the "OMG TRAVESTY! OMG DOUG MELVIN IS GORDON GECKO!" side, but it does seem fishy to me that JJ was sent down on a date when it would be exactly 20 days at September call-ups time. Plus, it's not like he's done anything to "deserve" a return trip back to the bigs, so they can't use the reasoning that he has figured things out. Just seems odd.
  23. Huh? How did Riske, of all people, almost cost the Brewers the playoffs? Before he got hurt, he was pitching fine, overall. He had a bad three game stretch in April after doing well the first 2+ weeks. Then he was doing well again until he got hurt in mid-May and wasn't the same after that. His contract is fine for guy who has been a good reliever throughout his career, especially since we needed bullpen help.
