i hate this ****** team

how long was mcgehee's leash last year? 163 games. i don't expect anything to change for months (baring an injury).... I would like to see more of Aoki in the #2 whole if nothing other than i think he has the best chance for a high obp.

maybe a name change is all that's needed. HiImUptight?

The relationship is heavily strained, and the Brewers probably have no desire to extend him an olive branch. So it's really up to Molitor. If he wants to "rejoin the family", he needs to take the initiative and then he'll be extended the same "benefits" as Yount - statue, spring training visits, other alumni events, etc... Yep. I believe it's in Molitor's court and I don't think he cares. I think he still holds a grudge and the grudge isn't just a Bando issue he's extended it to Milwaukee. Given his off the field issues I certainly don't care if he gets one or not. And I agree that we should be looking at former Braves players like Spahn and Matthews. You know players that actually WON a world series for a milwaukee team.....

It's not a huge deal, but at this point, I would definitely swap Hart and Ramirez in the order, to a) try to just shake things up for Ramirez a little bit, and b) give Hart some additional RBI opportunities that Ramirez isn't converting. Why stop there, remove ramirez, move everyone up, insert ramirez at #9. I think our pitchers are outhitting him so far anyways..... When he actually gets 2 hits in a game or a hit in 2 consecutive games then consider moving him up.

He also hit one to the right field wall in Chicago and got a triple. Briggs wasn't at that game so it never happened...

Gomez certainly hits like a good fielding SS. So why not......

More Yuni bashing? Do you guys ever stop? it's like history repeating. when the world is flat crowd continues to defend yuni, the world is round crowd has to point out that the world is,in fact, not flat. next we'll be arguing whether the sun revolves around the earth.....

Given the wave of recent extensions it's just smart business for Zack to step back and re-evaluate where the market has gone. I really doubt he will give a hometown discount. He may, but it's not like he'll leave $20M on the table.

A chain of custody dispute is a technicality No it isn't. Not reading someone miranda rights or filing paperwork by a specific date is a technicality. A break in the chain of custody invalidates everything that is derived from the sample/evidence after the break because anything could have happened to the sample. That isn't a technicality that's a nuclear bomb exploding on the evidence. If you actually read some of the posts in this thread (you know actually "listening" to others opinions instead of just spouting yours) you will find that there are plenty of ways the sample could be compromised simply by the way it was handled and not by ill intentions of the collector or anyone else who had access to the sample. People are going to believe whatever they want to believe, but I'm not going to sit here and claim that I'm buying what Braun's camp has sold. And of course we have the obligatory comment from The Crew that he knows better because he isn't buying the story from the "man"..... Believe what you want, but The Crew will set you straight. He is all knowing, all seeing, we are just bumbling idiots compared to him.... Talk about a classic narcissist.....

Actually I think it's too early to be having this discussion as we don't have anywhere near enough reps to have a good idea, but that won't stop me..... Nice try guys. Talking yourselves into how much better having A-Ram, A-Gon and Gamel over Casey, Yuni and Prince doesn't make them better. Those 3 had 4 hits between them in a 3 game series. Casey, Yuni and Prince combined for 9 and Yuni and Casey only played 2 games. So you are upset because in less than a handful of games the old players had more hits than the new players. Did the Cardinals poo on your weekend by taking 2 of 3 from the crew so you are in bad mood? I think you're looking at the wrong culprit for the weekends losing series. For the Brewers to take 1 of the 2 games they lost they would to have had to have scored 10 runs or 12 runs to outscore the opponent. Last year (with the great triumvirate whose passing you mourn) the Brewers only scored 10 or more runs in 8 games (once every 20 games) and only once did they score 10 or more when the opponents scored at least 9 runs. So you are complaining that this years version isn't as good as last years version because they didn't do in 3 games what last years team could only do once in 162 games. Funny, after watching the games this weekend I thought the pitching let the Brewers down, but clearly my view was distorted and the real culprits were ARam, AGon and MattG. Silly me...... Gonzalez blew a double play ball Saturday and got extremely fortunate the umpire called it a transition drop (it wasn't). The first play of the season when Furcal hit one deep in the hole and Gonzalez got to it (Yuni would have been watching for Braun's throw because he wouldn't have moved), I knew that our new SS was in a different league for defense than stone feet Batternineyusucki. In a month or 2 we'll have some idea of just how much better AGon is....

I know what Fidel Castro did, he's a bad person. No, he's a mass murderer. However people are entitled to their opinion and if Ozzie likes/admires Castro then good for him. Guillen can go to Red Square and give Joe Stalin's statue a big hug. He can go to Berlin and lay flowers at Hitler's bunker and give a testimonial to his great qualities. He can go to San Quintin and ask to kiss Charles Manson's feet. Yes as a person he can do whatever he wants, but as a PR representative of an organization he can be held by that organization to a code of conduct that says he can't do whatever he wants as long as he's an employee. If Guillen wants to preach the greatness of Castro, then he can resign and begin his motorcycle ride through little Havana. Until he does, his employer has every right to enforce a code of conduct that doesn't embarrass them.

I ain't going to waste my time reading that article. The guy can't even get the most simple facts straight. Even the collector himself stated that the sample sat in a rubbermaid container in his basement, not a fridge. Get a life Greg Couch. The Cubs announcers should also attend Club Get A Life too. Last night I listened briefly to the cubs radio broadcast and they stated that "Braun was suspended by MLB for 50 games" (WRONG - he was never suspended. The policy is that players who violate the drug policy for PED get a 50 game suspension for the first violation, but MLB never issued a suspension in this case) and that he "got off on a technicality" (WRONG - From what was leaked he won his appeal based on a chain of custody issue, that is not a technicality). In fact chain of custody is such a critical part of US law because without having a tamper proof process every murder and crime would be solved by a framed individual going to jail. Based on what we know about the leaked information in Braun's case, the arbitrator (in the first ever ruling FOR a player) was convinced that there was reasonable doubt based on the chain of custody issue that the test findings were irrelevant. Based on the language of the drug testing agreement Braun would have to have shown without a doubt that the test was wrong. I don't believe an arbitrator MLB has used repeatedly would simply ignore a test finding on a technicality (this isn't US law) unless he truely was convinced the results were inaccurate.

I think this is all silly. I disagree with the Marlins suspending him. I'm not turning this into a political thread though so I wont go further. I'm not sure what the politics is in this situation. Tens to hundreds of thousands of Cubans have lost their LIVES simply because they voiced opposition to Castro. Agree or disagree with the embargo, but the fact is he's a killer and if one of my employees went out of his way to shower praise and admiration his way publicly while representing my organization then (s)he'd be looking for a new job not a 5 day break.

Gamel is a better hitter than Gonzalez. Whether he's a rookie or 13 year veteran, Gamel is a better hitter than Gonzalez. Easily. Also, there is no rule that says the catcher must bat 8th. Why must things be so complicated with RR? But Gonzalez had such a great spring. He'll be batting #6 for the entire season...... Roenicked!

Is this placement a good thing… or not? Good thing. Easter's come early for brewerfan as the Brewers have laid a big egg.
