    Exactly. He hasn't shown that he can "hit" since AAA.
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    Rickie Weeks cannot hit. I'm sorry. Hopefully, I'll be proven very wrong, and soon. But there are only so many excuses you can tolerate.
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    Fixed.
  4. OldSchoolSnapper
    Go to StubHub. The prices really are not all that bad. Much cheaper than Fenway.
  5. OldSchoolSnapper
    Isn't Craig Counsell gone after this year? Isn't he making near $3 million?
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'd rather have Craig Counsell get the bulk of the playing time. I've lost patience with Weeks.

    I don't disagree, but the way the story in the JS is written, it sounds like Melvin is willing to rent an elite player if it comes to that; trading a prospect to get Sabathia for half the year. He talks about doing it last year for Linebrink. Granted you'd have to give away more to get Sabathia. I hate to lose to any of those AA guys, but I am hungry for a playoff run.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't get it; how do you figure that play means he isn't good?
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    It sure sounds like the college coach and others involved thought it was a big deal.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    It was the right decision. Branyan is 0/10 with 7 K's against LHP. On your second statement, I don't see it happening. He might make a play or two, but I'm afraid the ship has sailed. This isn't really a slump. It's been a year and a half.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    Really? Wow. I'm surprised we haven't resorted to that yet. It's been quite a sad fall from grace for Billy. I was never a big fan of his skill set, and advocating trading him in 2006 instead of extending his contract, but it stinks to see a guy fail so miserably. He appears to be beyond saving.

    I posted this here a while ago when the Brewers were like 10 games out and several games under .500, but the 4-gamer at home against the Cubs at the end of July will be the make or break moment, in my opinion. They need to take at least three games there.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah, that was exactly why I thought it was so funny.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    5.5 back in June. Anyone who says we don't have a chance is dead wrong. I peaked at Cubs.com and they're already starting the "We're still X games ahead, calm down" threads.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. That quote is hilarious though.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm so glad this thread isn't what I thought it was going to be.

    Gagne is most definitely a failure but it was a gamble that probably had to be made. Cameron has been passable, but they're both one-year contracts and neither really bothers me a whole lot. You will make mistakes in FA, you just have to live with it and move on. Fortunately Gagne won't hurt the Brewers for more than a year and that's great. I really can't take a lot of the OP seriously. It's pretty much the same sour grapes rant that I've read way too often by now. I don't want to let Prince Fielder go, even though it seems it will happen. I'm still optimistic the Brewers will sign Ben Sheets. He might take a more modest contract to stay here. It's happened before. We'll see what happens, but I don't think anyone really knows what the outcome will be.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    I read that blog, and you hit it on the head. TH was either butting into a personal matter, or acting as Fielder's publicist by not writing a story. Anyone who thinks the team's beat writer wasn't obligated to bring that story up, is severely misguided. Even McCalvy did a story on it for Brewers.com, which really surprised me. What's also funny is the people threatening to cancel their subscription as they write on the JS's blog. I'm sure the JS would rather keep your subscription, but in all honesty, the print edition subscriptions aren't that valuable to them anymore. About 95 cents of every dollar is from ads in the newspaper biz. Print is dying anyway and media is digital. If they had the choice, the JS would probably rather have you visit their site than buy their paper. More traffic means more online ads, which is where the future is anyway, and they know it. Sorry for that lecture, but I just thought it was funny how much of a difference those guys thought they were making.

    I'm not sure the Cubs impact the Brewers chances at all. The Brewers realistic shot is the WC. I'm not saying they can't catch the Cubs, but the deck is stacked against them.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    So if Gallardo hadn't jumped he wouldn't be injured. And if the runner hadn't slid he wouldn't be injured. The pitcher is taught to run parallel to the baseline and the runners are taught not to slide into first.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    Or caused by a baserunner sliding into first, thus slowing himself down.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    I cheer for injuries when they strike the Cubs star players. As long as they're not life threatening. Yeah, not even gonna try to take a high road here.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    I voted for Brewers across the board even though only one of the guys I voted for deserves to go. I'm a Brewers fan and frankly I don't care whether or not Chase Utley or Lance Berkman gets their "deserved" all-star spot. I really don't. I don't feel like I should have to defend that position. I only care about my favorite players. I'd rather turn on a nationally televised spectacle and see as many Brewers in the lineup as possible than I would players I don't care about on teams I don't care about. That's just how I feel about the whole AS thing. I think some people take it way too seriously.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    Braun will pass up Griffey by the time it's over anyway.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    I heard Tiki Barber's name is being thrown around.
