I would be pretty surprised if Braun has known about this positive test for this long and hasn't told Melvin about it, he had to know it would eventually get out. And if Braun really is innocent like we all hope he is, then he really should have said something to Melvin along the lines of "Hey, they hit me with a false positive, I'm fighting it with appeals...and that." Knowing there is a chance you are going to sit for a third of the season, as your teams best player, and not telling your GM or manager about it would be completely irresponsible.

I have read that a second, "more comprehensive" test resulted in a positive for synthetic testosterone, and now someone else is saying that a second test (requested by Braun) turned up negative. Which is it? -
My son also strongly believes in Santa Claus. That being said, I hope both of you end up being proven right, but I am not holding my breath.

Casey McGehee's struggles: how much leash does he get?

Those are BJ Upton's stats, not Justin Upton. -
Dale Sveum officially the new Cubs manager
Rhett16 replied to The Truth's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Didn't Theo say they ruled out Sandberg immediately because they were looking for a manager with a lot of big league managing experience? I don't see any way in which Sveum fits that bill. -
I know people hate Yuni, and they have their reasons for it, but obviously Melvin and Roenicke don't. They had a chance to trade for a SS at the break, and they refused to. You could have had hairston play a little SS, but they didn't do that. Obviously the team doesn't see Betancourt as the big glaring weakness that the fans do, I wouldn't be surprised if he is back next year. A lot of people are talking about Reyes....for the money you'd have to pay that walking injury, you may as well just keep Prince, who at least is durable.
-
It's been a fun ride, tip of the hat to the Cardinals, they played really, really well. This offseason for the Brew Crew should be...interesting to say the least. It might be irrational or whatever, but I will never be able to look at Marcum the same way again. He was decent for half the year, but all I will think next year when he pitches is "There's the guy who torpedoed our post season run..."
-
In the last in game thread when Marcum started there was some poster who was absolutely convinced that Marcum was doing just fine and it was all just bad luck, etc. He was adamant that anyone who said marcum was toast just didn't know what they were talking about. I cannot wait for that guy to show up in here tonight. If he does, I hope he has removed his head from...uh, the sand.
-
I would have Narveson warming up right beside Marcum in the bullpen before the game even starts.
-
Again, I don't think he's really struggling. He's basically only been beat tonight by arguably the best player in baseball. That inning had a ball pop out of someone's glove, a ball hit where the defender normally would be if not for the hit and run, and another ball that would probably have been caught had Gomez been out there. But because 4 runs have scored, the average fan (not calling you that) will say Marcum sucks. Shaun Marcum's last 6 starts -- 33 IP, 46 H, 30 ER. That's an 8.18 ERA. I'm pretty sure that could be called "struggling".
-
Marcum can stop being awful any day now, watching him pitch is painful.

Say Something Nice About the Cardinals Thread
Rhett16 replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I refuse to say anything good about the Cardinals because I hate them with every fiber in my being. -
I hope Braun or Fielder do something this inning because I have no faith in Weeks, if they gave out a Least Valuable Player award in a playoff series, his name would already be engraved on it.

My heart about jumped out of my chest when Roberts hit that ball to Yuni, lol.

I would guess Gallardo for 5 innings, Greinke for 2, then K-Rod and the Ax Man. (I hope.)

I am an absolute nervous wreck right now. I am at work for 3 more hours and I am really, really hoping to get home in time to watch the Brewers celebrate. I live in Phoenix, and if the Diamondbacks win, I won't hear the end of it.

What a weekend so far to be a WI sports fan; Brewers hopefully going up 2-0, Badgers and Packers with blowout wins and last but not least, the eye candy sitting in the front row behind the plate today. I could get used to this.
-
I know the entire world thinks Gibson is going to be the manager of the year, and maybe he deserves it, but deciding to pitch to Fielder there...man, that's a dumb move by a smart guy.
-
I'm not so sure we can read too much into that. I mean, we all have been wishing the D'Backs would lose every game the past few weeks so the Brewers would lock up the #2 spot. They are chasing us and Daron is probably just saying what their fans are thinking too. I should have clarified a bit more, sorry. Sutton has been saying this kind of stuff about Milwaukee since I moved here to Arizona 3 years ago. I don't think he's a bad guy or anything, I just get the impression that he and the Brewers did not part on the best of terms, that's all.
