Cubs win the division, however the Brew finish with their first winning record since (if memory serves me correctly)1992. Playoffs? Maybe, way to early to tell. I would consider a winning season a complete success. The core of this team is young, and will only get better. Issues for sure, but this team is on an upward curve. As I type, I see the cubs have lost and will now face the Mets this weekend. So, all hope is not lost.

But end, can you imagine the looks on the fans face if my scenerio occured, it would destroy them and bring back the curse talk. Why that thought fills me with joy is disturbing.

I'm giving Weeks a mulligan THIS year, but Graffy is looks like he's starting to hit so I say start him the rest of the way. No need for a trade.

I know this has been looked at in another thread, but from what I've read the Rangers are looking to rid itself of Sosa and have found little interest. A low prospect might just be enough to twist the knife a little more in the Cubs. Can you imagine Sosa doing his goofy little hop again at Wrigley only this time in a Brewer uniform? It would kill the Cubs to see that happen.

After sleeping on it, I still don't like this trade. I have no issues with trading Inman,Thatcher or Garrison or the fact that it's a "rental" player. The part that bothers me is that the trade is for a MR whose having an off year. I would have much preferred a trade of those three for another bat. This looks like a desperation move.

I'm still voting, stupid obsessive personality disorderhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Anyway, here's an update: % of Votes Katie Martin (Missouri State) 17% Lindsey Gerheim (Army) 17% Kate Sheaks (DePaul) 15% Dominique Lastrapes (Washington) 11% Garland Cooper (Northwestern) 11% Caitlin Lowe (Arizona) 8% Kristina Hull (Georgia Tech) 8% Jamie Reiss (Creighton) 4% Lindsay Schutzler (Tennessee) 4% Stephanie Brown (Notre Dame) 4%

First post in this thread, so I'll keep this brief; Where's Jeff Cirllo again?

Thats why Mad, I agree though, seeing Graff and Counsell in the lineup is disturbing.

Weeks seems to be pressing a little, would you give him tomorrow off to settle him down? CC will be at third won't he?

Thanks Tony for not making this game" THE" top story on ESPN

Did I read that right, Jeff Cirillo hit lefties at a .413 clip last year?

Agreed, not a positive sign from Weeks

Am I watching the cubbies beginning to implode?

It starts here or I'm getting worried. Come on guys and YES HART!!

Can we at least make Hill work for it?

I bet Hill does not get through that easily the next time through the batting order.

Nice slide and catch by Mench? Kevin is considered to have a weak arm? That throw looked pretty strong.

Alright, my first game of the season. I'm running late, I run up to my room, click on game and it's 6-0! On the plus side, both Hardy and Prince drilled those, just right at someone. Good sign, it's not over.

I see Jorge De La Rosa was named the Royals No.4 stater. Has he finally put it together?

Why did I just read an Ann, in 20 years will be found distraught living in an apartment with 63 cats, Coulter?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Just got in and WOW, does Tomo want a fat paycheck next year? Maybe I should do some research but, Tomo has looked really average lately and I don't know whether I would recommend resigning him now. And has Hart cemented his position as a starter yet? I realize this is his first year, but I am convinced just to pencil him in as an everyday starter, no platooning Ned!

So does this officially mark the point that this becomes Prince's team?

Yeah he would have been safe, but still I like a player like Bell that plays hard. Give him that much! In addition, I thought Bush performed well. Nice to see.

Just got in from the Sounds game, even though it ended in a loss, still had a good time. A few observations. Krynzel played left with Gwynn in center, Gwynn was to say the least unimpressive, maybe he had an off night but he certainly does not remind me of his father. Krynzel was caught stealing at second and it was not even close. Watching the play unfold, my first thought was reading everyone's post after one of Brady's basepath escapades. Even though Dave went 1 for 3 with a K, walk, a nice single, and an absolute laser that was hit right at the Royals LF. I came away with the impression that Krynzel is a much better prospect than Gwynn. Was impressed with Rottino, appeared to have a good strong arm at third and patient at the plate. Although Barnwell and Abernathy were shut out I will give them both a mulligan for tonight. I thought Koonce looked awful at the plate, Sounds need a first baseman bad. Brad Nelson, opportunity is knocking, will you please answer it! Tempo of the game seemed to change when Sorensen replaced Clark at second. Say what you will, I like Sorenson. Coming to the game tonight I was expecting to see a dominating performance from Eveland. I walked away with more concerns than ever. Although his line looks OK he seemed to struggle at times. 1st inning he K'd the side only to get nickled and dimed to death in the 2nd and simply put the Royals lineup was not very awe inspiring. Very strange, hard to put a finger on what's up with Dana. Comments withheld on Chavez and Fernandez. Finally, to Nelson Cruz, although he was quiet tonight he appears to be the real deal. The ball just seems to explode of his bat. After the game, they let the kids run the bases, so I took my 7 year old out to run and after we finished I took him over to show him the dugout only to see Cruz signing autographs. As he was signing a ball, I asked him was he ready for Milwaukee, he smiled slyly and nodded yes. I wonder where everyone else was since Cruz was there alone doing autographs. One closing item, took my child to the bathroom in the 5th inning, on the way back someone yelled heads up so I covered Alex and a girl in her mid twenties about 5 feet away took a foul off the top of her head. She seemed OK and was treated by medical staff, but what a thud and yes she was a blonde. Good night all!

After looking at that box score, I'm beginning to miss Obermueller.
