    There are some unhappy St. Louis Classy fans out there.

    Absolutely. If Lucroy hits into a double play, the DBacks "win" the situation and the Brewers come off looking like crybabies. What made them look like crybabies?

    What is Keith Ginter up to these days?

    I would love for somebody to ask Martin and the rest of the Pirates why when they did it, it was okay but when Gomez did it, it becomes a big deal?

    It could matter if we make the playoffs and wanted to add somebody to the playoff roster. But that is about it. On a side note, does it have to be position player for position player and pitcher for pitcher when replacing injured guys on a playoff roster? Or does that not matter?

    Is anybody getting it?

    The big part of this is that once at FedEx, nobody knows it is Braun's sample. When it stays at the collectors house, and his kid was the chaperone when Braun gave his sample, it opens up the possibility of tampering as well as potentially being mishandled. Another thing, if Dino is in charge of collecting and sealing the sample, wouldn't he have the resources to reseal the sample? I think it would have been one thing if the sample had been collected by party A and then party B was in charge of delivering it to FedEx. Have there been any indications of how the sample is sealed? I thought I read it was sealed in the cup, in a bag and then in a box but if Dino is the one who is in charge of doing so, wouldn't he have extra cups, bags, and tamper-proof tape? Lastly, MLB has repeatedly stated that the collector acted professionally and within the scope of the rules. If the rules state that, unless there are unusual circumstances, it is to be delivered to FedEx immediately, how is that possible? FedEx locations being closed, when there are available locations open, does not seem like unusual circumstances to me. I just don't understand how Rob Manfred and MLB can continue to say that there is nothing wrong on their end.

    Yeah, but he knows only as much as we know. He's just guessing. Frankly, it seems as though Green is almost certainly not on the list, but Tom H is guessing as much as we are. His word is not gold.That is not true at all. Haudricourt is not guessing as much as we are. He is the beat writer and is much more connected with the organization than the average BF.net poster. Could he, or his sources, be wrong on who is on the list? Possibly, but he must be pretty confident in what he has seen or heard to state that "Taylor Green is not on the K-Rod list" in his most recent chat.

    My thoughts exactly, but hopefully it is a situation where they don't want to trade him to the team they are currently playing. Maybe Barmes will stay in Milwaukee when the Astros leave? Similar to how we traded for Durham a few years ago and he went with the Brewers when they left town.

    Here are the quotes from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: It looks like McKenry barely nicks Lugo on the slide and if you watch this replay and go to about the 1 minute mark, you can see how it looks like he didn’t get him. I don’t think this play was as cut and dry as some posters are making it to be. Did Meals miss the call? Looks like it, but McKenry had plenty of time to put a good tag on Lugo and opted for a swipe tag.

    Who would play center with an outfield of Braun, Berkman and Holliday? Berkman has played in 166 games in CF in his career, but the last time he had any regular playing time there was 2004 with 122 appearances -- and even then, the Astros moved him out of CF late in the game. Neither Braun nor Holliday have played an inning of CF in their career. Is it possible for them to slide one of the starters to DH and play Kemp in center?

    Here are some quotes from his agent: "You leave players way too vulnerable," Berry said. "I can tell you Major League Baseball is less than it was before [Posey's injury]. It's stupid. I don't know if this ends up leading to a rule change, but it should. The guy [at the plate] is too exposed. "If you go helmet to helmet in the NFL, it's a $100,000 fine, but in baseball, you have a situation in which runners are [slamming into] fielders. It's brutal. It's borderline shocking. It just stinks for baseball. I'm going to call Major League Baseball and put this on the radar. Because it's just wrong." I disagree with Berry here. It sucks that Posey got hurt, but I don't think it should lead to a rule change. Who do you give the advantage to, the catcher or the runner? Does the runner have to avoid the catcher? Are we going to Little League rules where you must slide on a play at home or you are out? What if the throw causes the catcher to cross the base path? Is the runner out if he runs into him then? I saw the replay on MLB Network and agree with you that Molina took issue. The Cardinals are getting ridiculous with this stuff. What is Bartlett suppose to do? Not try so Molina can make the catch and tag him out? Bartlett didn't go in with his spikes up, it was a clean slide and Molina was in his way. Why do the Cardinals feel that everything that happens against them is some sort of slight?

    According to MLB Network, Buster Posey broke his left leg and tore ligaments in his knee. He is likely to miss the remainder of the season. The Giants recalled Brandon Belt from Fresno. Here is a link from NBC Sports about the injury.

    Why would a team need to move from the NL Central to the NL West? If the Astros would move to the AL West, you then have 5 teams in the NL Central and already have 5 teams in the NL West.

    How do you know Melvin isn't interested?

    But that is not really true. Over the past 3 years his walks by month: 2008 Season 4 - Mar/Apr - 26 games6 - May - 29 games 6 - June - 26 games 8 - July - 25 games 6 - August - 19 games 12 - Sept/Oct - 26 games 2009 Season 14 - Mar/Apr - 22 games 12 - May - 26 games 9 - June - 27 games 5 - July - 25 games 7 - August - 27 games 10 - Sept/Oct - 31 games 2010 Season 12 - Mar/Apr - 23 games 9 - May - 26 games 6 - June - 27 games 5 - July - 27 games 14 - August - 26 games 10 - Sept/Oct - 28 games No real pattern, but his higher walk totals have generally been in the beginning and end of the year.

    Random question about this game. I proposed to my girlfriend on top of the dugout after the bottom of the first inning and was unable to get any pictures due to being slightly preoccupied. I know it is a little late to be asking, but I was wondering if anybody who attended might have snapped a few shots of us during this time? If anybody has any, or knows of anybody who attended and might have some, it would be greatly appreciated by my fiancee and our mothers. Please PM me if you are able to help.

    ?? The Brewers' Next Manager Thread http://brewersfandemonium...eply/672854#reply-672854 Last post I read was by RockCoCougars on 10/24 at 3:04p (central) Blank page 20 posts per page There were only two unread posts after RCC's. I went back and looked at the other incident I posted about and it appears there were three unread posts for that one.

    From Buster Olney's twitter: Heard this: Corey Hart's extension from Milwaukee, over three years, is for $26.5 million.

    The same type of sources that change with the wind and can run with two completely different stories about the same player's trade status within hours. Also taking Melvin -- and most GM's -- for his word when discussing possible trades is foolish as he will be keeping his cards close to his vest. I just don't understand the use of definitive statements such as "the fact that Hart wasn't traded at his peak value" when there is still about a day before the deadline. It is a fluid situation and change is rapid.. Is a trade going to happen? I don't know, but there is still potential for trades. Why get up in arms before the deadline is even over? On top of that, what if the value being offered for Prince or Hart isn't up to their "peak value" in the Brewers eyes? Would a trade for a sub-par package be better than not making a move? I personally wonder how much influence Attanasio has on our player moves.
