    Badger Blogger: Zambrano to start All-Star Game Congrats to Big Ben...one inning of pitching on Tuesday is not going to affect him for next Saturday or down the road.
  2. SeriesFinale
    That's awesome...I was watching it on TV and I felt much like you did...once he got through the 8th there (and yeah, the wave? Really? Come on Milwaukee fans), I just felt in my bones they were gonna take it. That 9th inning side-strikeout was more than I could've hoped for, though; and I did notice that the fan support: the chants, the way they went nuts after every strikeout (it reminded me of being in the 9th inning of Big Ben's 18-strikeout performance, and the way they were still going nuts when they came back from commercial. It's a beautiful thing to see that kind of atmosphere at MP, fill that bandwagon up, wave-starters and all. Despite how mediocre the homestand was, the Crew couldn't have gone into the break any better. I know we say this all the time (and that it rarely comes to pass), but I really hope the Brewers can take something from it.

    There have been a few genuine ones that have popped up on eBay recently

    One of the very best wins of the year, timely and dramatic.

    Credit where it's due: the direction today after CC struck out the side in the 9th was nearly perfect. CC and the team's reaction and then a fantastic wide shot of the team from behind as they walk into the dugout with the Miller Park crowd going nuts in the background, all the while with silence from the booth and just the wild cheering from the fans as they go to commercial. I got chills.

    In an interview with Trenni (uh, that I just happened to stumble upon), she mentions that Ned puts together computers and is a big Mac guy. Cool that he was so friendly and talkative...his pressers seem so abrupt and condescending at times. Glad to know he gets as upset as anyone, because that's gotta be the explanation for that behavior. ANYWAY, I'm waiting a week to get mine...no big need to get one right away.

    I'd be more OK with them messing the sheets in this series if it wasn't the last series before the break and the last homestand for a while Hope we can get it tomorrow; back at 'em
  8. SeriesFinale
    I'll be there. There's a thread in the off-topic section.

    You should've heard Santo today

    I just watched A-Ram's homer...I don't understand how Braun gets a rap for cockiness when you've got dudes like Ramirez, Zambrano and Soriano flailing and posturing all the time. When Sosa and Alou left the Cubs I thought I wouldn't hate them as much anymore but that is just an unlikeable collection of guys.

    Yeah, this is pretty crummy. With his hand soreness I believed it

    This will make the Journal-Sentinel's sports desk's heads explode. "It's like matter meeting anti-matter!"

    A "slight discount" from San Francisco would still be more than what Cleveland could (or should) offer, and seeing that he's such a home-based guy, I bet he would've taken it. It's a moot point, though. I'm not particularly worried about CC's body type, if he weren't for the amount of money he's asking for (obviously a huge If). There are big men who pitched very effectively late into their careers, and CC's shown to be durable. Of the two, though, I'd rather them sign Big Ben, if at the least for sentimental reasons. I think the Brewers have a much better chance at getting him, too. It's interesting to me to hear how many people seem to have said their mental goodbyes to him...all this talk about how great it'll be to have 5 picks in the top 35 strikes me as nuts. By the time those five picks can come up and be useful, the window we have right now will be narrower, I believe. I really want to see a Sheets/Gallardo/Parra rotation for an entire year.

    I agree that it'll be a California team, and I think the Dodgers fit the bill. He's got a massive house in his hometown of Vallejo and spends a lot of time in the community here during the off-season. I think if not for Lincecum/Cain/Sanchez, and, of course and primarily, the monstrosity of Zito's contract, the Giants would've been a great fit, and I bet he would've taken a slight and literal "hometown discount." As it stands it doesn't make sense for a team with that many holes to sink even more money into a starting pitcher when that's their position of strength.

    Some guy claiming to be a friend of CC's called into KNBR here the other day and said that CC wanted to sign for an NL team because he "wanted to bat." I'm amazed the radio host didn't hang up on him.
  17. SeriesFinale
    Thought this was interesting Stark's column... Not necessarily because of the Greinke stuff (although that's interesting, too) but that Melvin and the Crew didn't seem to want to pursue Harden. With the team-friendly contract and the extra year, you have to wonder why.
  18. SeriesFinale
    Remember how angry that guy with the "King Jorge" avatar got when he got traded for Graffy? Graffanino had a solid if unassuming stint with the Brewers; I have to think we got maximum value for DLR
  19. SeriesFinale
    I don't care if there are no dramatics...I'll be satisfied with taking 3 of 4 from them
  20. SeriesFinale
    For what it's worth, both the Brewers and the Giants' websites have CC listed as the Brewers' starter for the Friday July 18th game (Crazy Crab bobblehead night, so there'll be two CCs on the field)

    I just wanted to mention to everyone that Ross gives top-notch service. I bought a J.J. Hottie shirt for my wife to wear to the upcoming series in SF and LA but noticed the following morning that Paypal gave him my wrong address...I contacted him right away and he was on his way to the post office, where he corrected the error. I haven't gotten the shirt yet (it's only been two days), but I appreciate that 1) he sends the stuff out right away and 2) he checks his email constantly!
  22. SeriesFinale
    Yeah, those are fakes unfortunately....otherwise I wouldn't have a problem with $16. The shirts are kinda ugly but I'd love to have one for when the Brew Crew is here in SF next week...I'll be right behind the dugout and I'd love to get a photo with Corey while wearing one
  23. SeriesFinale
    3 back of the Cubs means we sweep and they lose once to the Giants, or we win 2 and the Cubs lose twice As well as the Cubs are playing at home, I just don't see them coughing more than one up to the Giants, if that, and we've gotta face Volzquez (Harang as well but he hasn't looked as good lately and he faces Sabathia). They do face Cain and Lincecum, though, so anything's possible.
  24. SeriesFinale
    The fact that Gaudin got jacked on his first batter faced in a Cubs uniform made it even better
  25. SeriesFinale
    Yeah, this is the first time both guys I voted for won it...pretty awesome. I hope Corey gets an AB...if I remember correctly Jenks rode the pine the entire time he was there
