Its 10 pm but only the 5th so I can justify cracking open another beer so its fine by me on a Friday....and I go do so and find a large package of Bacon in the fridge covering my beer supply. Great job wife. -
When I went to some Brewer games in Pittsburgh in 2008 (and witnessed the sometimes mentioned CC Sabathia no-hitter that wasn't) I tried to request Hanson's Man From Milwaukee at a bar but they wouldnt play it. Also, I don't even care if replay showed him to be clearly safe, Osuna should still be called out if the ball beats you by 10 feet
-
Hanson has now seen 6 pitches between 93.6 and 94.5 mph...slider would be nice

I don't think I have ever enjoyed a Yankee HR more than this http://m.mlb.com/video/v1355325983 -
He turned water into beer? He turned a tie into a lead at Busch Stadium, even more rare
-
Jesus just performed his first miracle
-
that rocket from Santana for an out balancs out the RBI double Shaw hit last inning on a cutter that sawed him off
-
And my counter point was that if you had the #1 pick all of those players were available but were not drafted, so unless you have become the first person in history who can actually project high school pitchers the 5-10 position swing in draft slots is totally meaningless. The best player could easily be the best "prospect" or the 5th "prospect" or the 20th "prospect". The Dodgers were lucky to have the 7th pick instead of the first that year. So who is to say the Brewers wont be lucky to have the 15th pick rather than the 10th pick next year.

hindsight makes it all so obvious. Please just tell me which player in the next draft will win 3 Cy Youngs and I will cheer for the Brewers to lose as many as it takes to get to their projected slot. Jefferess has more career WAR than all of the following picks ahead of him COMBINED from the 2006 draft: #1 pick, #2, #4, #9, #12, #13 and #15. He has 4 total career WAR and that is better than half of the players drafted ahead of him combined. Also players need to see major league pitching to improve. There is a very short list of players who had their best ever seasons as a rookie. If you recall we made the playoffs by 1 game in 2008, so taking away the development our young players got from the 2005 season probably causes us to miss in 2008. A player's prime is about ages 27-31 (I think I'm referencing Bill James) so Shaw is more than a "veteran filler", he is an attempt to find a solid starter ready to break out. Also, no teams are willing to trade hot pitching prospects, at least not for bullpen arms like Thornburg. You act like Stearns had offers for every team's A level ace but instead chose Shaw.

Villar back to his flashy undisciplined ways
-
That was a bomb, if Shaw is the Mayor, Villar is at least on the town council of ding dong city
-
Can both of our catchers start the all-star game?
-
my god Braun's hit never got more than 10 feet off the ground but went all the way to the wall
-
The most important thing Thames is on pace for is a HR cycle tonight
-
Only the Cardinals would complain about this
-
7 runs with 4 straight batters in the lineup hitting under .200
-
this is why you go LRL in the batting order, so Braun can face lefties
-
Not terrible with the pitcher Broxton on deck
-
Hopefully Thames tells Braun to keep his chin up since he can only get on base with pathetic singles
-
Thames on pace for 5 doubles and no HRs tonight, crap
-
For fun Thames 5 straight HR games (and counting) 23 PA 11 R 1 2B 6 HR 9 RBI 2 BB 2 K .500/.565/1.450/2.015 Burnitz 5 straight HR games (8/1/97-8/5/97) 15 PA (only 3 GS) 5 R 5 HR 8 RBI 2 BB 0 K .462/.533/1.615/2.149
-
Thames' batting average is approaching Villar's OPS
-
This is going well so far
-
I am glad to see players start bunting against these shifts. Everyone should do it
-
Thames is on fire, going oppo on a cold night in Wrigley
