SI is reporting that the suspension will begin April 21. I don't like that at all, a suspension should not run at the same time while the guy is already out with an injury. link Didn't that happen with Derrick Lee a few years ago? He was suspended for two games but was hurt and wouldn't have played anyway. Kind of a sucky way to skirt the rule.
It worked for Zola Budd. I've never done it but I would think it would be really hard to get started with this. Imagine running along on asphalt and stepping on a pebble. Not to mention running when it's hot out. The guys in Kenya and Ethiopia run barefoot their whole lives. Be interesting to see how someone that's done it got started and what that first run felt like. I do think it would force you to run on the balls of your feet and stay off your heels.
Man I feel bad for Brewer. Wonder if he regrets not taking that football scholarship to FSU? 8Ks and 1BB so far this year (not including today). Hope it comes together for him soon.
Can you imagine what that 1 - 5 for H'ville will be like once Lawrie gets going? It's not like he's not contributing since his OPS is .800 but he's capable of much better numbers.
There was dried vomit waiting for me when I arrived at my seat last Saturday. At least the dudes behind me had the courtesy to warn me before I sat down.
I read an article in the Trib this morning that said all sorts of "meteor" rock collectors are descending on southwestern WI to collect rocks from farmers. http://www.chicagotribune...20100415,0,3394063.story
He has such a compact, efficient swing that it appears to be "slump proof". The power is what has shocked me thus far in his short career. That came out of nowhere last year.
If those numbers are correct then in 2014 the Brewers will be paying 21.25 million to Braun and Gallardo. If they resign Fielder that's probably another 15 million or so right? So 36.25 million to three players.
