Late 40's, so it was definitely unexpected

My Grandfather was 58 when my mother was born so it can work

Oops on my part

It's actually simple he has one of the grand kids spy on us during the game then makes some decisions just to mess with us.

It is pretty wild to be at a point where well regarded new draft picks might struggle to get into the top 15 right away.

I was also highly skeptical of Sheep Detectives, but at my wife's request saw it on Mother's Day and it's a that rare for me good family movie. Probably not nearly as good on a rewatch since part of the fun was the who-dunit, but still something to pull out in a few years and enjoy with a younger generation.

Catcher is the only position I don't feel 100% confident we will have a really good internal option. Not saying we are empty but with Dinges and Quero both having injuries impact them there is a chance neither pans out well. Every other position has so many options, someone will workout.

Probably, but when Perkins looks like the next man up it gets easier to fall back on pride.

The sad truth as someone who started with Brewerfan at the beginning when I was still in college, is I'm closer to an older fan than I would like... I should probably be traded to another fan's message boards for a Poster to Be Named Later

And the Cubs lose a moment later

Win, The Garret Mitchell game

I'm guessing if he wanted to coach the Brewers would find a spot for him, but retirement sure makes a lot of sense.

Things improved dramatically up in my area before 10 today so there is hope

I wish I could easily dig up 15 year old posts, but it was recognized after the fact around here that Sabathia performed unusually well for a trade deadline acquisition. That was in many ways why I posted the challenge players who perform really well just aren't traded as often. While the Brewers are underdogs in a series to the Dodgers they'd still have a decent chance. Even in a 7 game series the best team doesn't win that much more often.

Just as importantly even when teams get big names at the deadline they are rarely viewed in history as players who got teams over the top. If you dispute this come up with a list of 10 players traded at the deadline since 2000 that were the big difference makers for those Championship teams.
