    Because he's not George Steinbrenner, thankfully.

    After 15 years without a winning record, he is not going to be fired for not making the playoffs.

    I pretty much agree with all of this. I hate to admit it, but I do think the Cubs are the better team. They don't have a SP that anyone looks at and says, "Nice, he's pitching against us today," whereas we have Suppan and Vargas (I think Capuano has begun his climb out of the toilet). They have three of the best hitters in the league and the younger guys, while maybe playing a little over their heads, seem to fit into their roles quite nicely. And now their bullpen pretty strong, too. That all said, they aren't THAT much better than the Brewers, so it won't take much to do one game better than them from here on out.

    We only need to beat the Cubs by one game the rest of the way.

    They traded for Texieria.
  6. dlk9s
    Yes.

    I am just happy Brewers games are finally back on ESPN for us in Minnesota it is blessing even if Steve Phillips is announcing. I hear ya. I'm in Atlanta, so I feel the same way. I did just notice that Phillips acknowledged that Parra is a starter.
  8. dlk9s
    I love how the ESPN announcers are amazed at how long Parra has pitched, as if they don't realize he's naturally a starter. "ZOMG! Parra has pitched over SIX whole innings!111!!!1!!" EDIT: Please win, Phillies. kthx.

    Tonight, I don't think the lack of runs after the first couple innings is as much a product of the Brewers' bad hitting as it is Perez finding his "A" stuff. He had no command in at the beginning of the game, which, combined with a couple errors, led to 5 runs. It's not like the Brewers were hitting him absolutely silly. Since then, he has been fantastic. That said, I would love a few more runs. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I blame Lastings Milledge. If he doesn't catch Hall's potential game-winner in the 9th last night, Dave Bush pitches tonight. He would have been throwing a no-hitter, obviously.

    Well, this is going swimmingly.

    My first child was born via c-section last fall (the Cardinals won the WS during our hospital stay) and everything went well. Even though there were no complications to speak of, my wife still spent 3-4 days in the hospital recovering (I can't even remember how many days, I was in such a trance). She was in a lot of pain, could barely get up to walk a few feet for the first day or two, and feeding the baby was a struggle. So, even though my wife and child were healthy, I was very much needed there in the hospital. I changed the diapers, fed the baby when she wouldn't breast feed, took care of my wife, etc. I am not happy with the timing of everything, but Mrs. and Baby Linebrink need Scott there. He's going to have a hard enough time missing the first couple months of his baby's life - let's give him the first few days.

    I hope the "Perez" listed as NY's starter is Perez Hilton. The Brewer bats need to get going.
  14. dlk9s
    I agree with kgbaseball. I hated the Spurling for Shouse move. Obviously, it worked out, but Shouse has been great lately. I saw no reason to pull him there. I also really disliked not having Graffy sac bunt when Miller got a hit late in regulation (7th or 8th?). He promptly GIDP (although he did hit it hard, which, even though I was watching on a gametracker, was something he seemed to do all night). Obviously, our sac bunt strategy kept flopping every inning, but I'm not sure why Yost didn't try it with Graffy, a runner on 1st, and no outs. That all said, this could be a very uplifting win for the Brewers. Let's just hope the bullpen can hold up!
  15. dlk9s
    I'm so glad there wasn't an IGT. With all the runners LOB late, it would have been uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly. Major props to the bullpen, especially Shouse and Spurling for holding down the fort after Wise's struggle. Now, can we call up an entire second bullpen from the minors to give these guys some rest?

    Hi, crazy.
  17. dlk9s
    I just watched another craptacular episode of On the Lot with my wife and now I'm going back to work (I work at home) because my 9-month-old daughter doesn't let daddy work during the day. I'll probably be up until 1:00 or 2:00. And I'm following the Brewers and Cubs online, of course.
  18. dlk9s
    What he's saying is that players with fat contracts probably won't get picked up, so there isn't a big fear of them being exposed on the waiver wire.

    I would love the Brewers to get Gagne. I just hope they don't mortgage the farm for him. ESPN was just talking about "tweeners" - those teams that are in playoff contention, but are at a crossroads of playing to win now or building for the future. The teams they mentioned were Colorado, Arizona, and St. Louis. It seems as if the Brewers are in that situation, too, even though they have been in 1st place pretty much all season. Don't want to give away too much and sacrifice the bright future, but you want to try to make a run now, since the opportunity is there. BTW, Olney just said it is looking more like Gagne to Boston. We'll see.
  20. dlk9s
    I don't know the reasons for the Red Sox being on Gagne's no-trade list, but I can't imagine someone turning down an extra $3.625 million (or, technically, whatever portion of his incentives that he wouldn't be able to earn with Boston) to play only a couple months with a team. A team, for that matter, who is the favorite to win the World Series.

    The Texas/Atlanta deal is done pending physicals.
  22. dlk9s
    Buster Olney just reported it is down to two teams: Red Sox and Brewers.

    Cecil told Prince to visualize the ball as Colonel Sanders yelling at him about his medulla oblongata.
  24. dlk9s
    Another stay of execution for the Brew Crew! I wouldn't mind a little four game winning streak paired with the opposite from Chicago. Wouldn't mind that at all.
  25. dlk9s
    I'm very interested to see what happens when the Brewers and Cubs start playing good teams, such as in the series coming up. The Cubs have been feasting on bad teams (unfortunately, we haven't done the same), but I'm curious to see what they do against the likes of NY and Philly. I think if we're going to make a move, this week is the time to do it.
