Because it's just an excuse to DH in an environment that will be unpleasant? Why didn't anything come up when he was hitting .600 this spring?

Billy Beane is hilarious. That is all.

What an awful trade for Seattle. As someone pointed out, this one will get Jack Z fired.

Can you really enter total rebuilding mode with the likes of Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Zambrano on your payroll? Does anyone really think they're just going to wait until these contracts are off the books to try and win? Did Theo Epstein leave Boston for the Cubs for some long rebuild? Let's get real. Aramis Ramirez? Two years $25M, done. Worry about Taylor Green later.

If you hadn't watched this show ever before this season, you would have already stopped watching and declared it is a complete bomb. It's awful.

All I have to say is wow.

Wasn't it Game 3 when Prince was laughing sitting in the dugout in the 9th inning of a one run loss? I thought Game 5 was when Prince was laughing on the way back to the dugout after striking out? Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear I thought more negatively of the laughing because it was such a close game...and they were losing. But I think the main point of this thread is that the Brewers seemed to 'not have their game face on' for most of the series. Maybe this fun loving bunch didn't have it in them, I don't know, but the Cardinals were all business and the Brewers seemed nonchalant.

So that two years makes you want to trade away more of our depleted farm system before you even know what Gamel can do at the big league level? Weirder... more weird... No, actually the point of that is we keep talking about Mat Gamel and Logan Morrison is two years younger with 500 more ABs in the major leagues already. Either Gamel isn't that good, or the Brewers have a problem with going with younger players, or both. In Gamel's case, I think most people around here are on board with giving him a shot. Shoot over to a Wily Peralta thread (and others) and you'll see the mindset of needing more time in the minors...which again is weird. Once a "prospect" gets in to his mid to late 20s, and they're still not helping out the big club, the shine comes off quite a bit, doesn't it? It does for me as far as expectations go, that's for sure. Anyway, where did I say Gamel should be traded?

Except Morrison is two years younger than Gamel. Weird, huh?

Heaven forbid they call on a guy before he turns 25.

Happy Flight! Happy Flight! Happy Flight! Come on, this isn't new. The Twins were "sniffing out steaks" or whatever it was a couple years ago, as it was pointed out, a lot of teams do similar things. They could have been as robotic as the stupid Happy Flight Cardinals. Seriously, how dorkish was that crap?

You guys might want to wait for a few weeks to actually talk about this. If he goes 8 tomorrow night and wins and then continues in the NLCS and hopefully the World Series, perceptions will change...on both sides of the argument.

Oh, I forgot the other funny thing from last night: The Pyramid! "You need to unleash the power of the pyramid!" That was funny?

I'm now only watching to see how stupid and bad it gets. Fail.

I don't hate the Robert California addition, but James Spader is just an intelligent, quirky, weird, creepy guy in real life that plays himself in every role is my take.
