    ESPN Baseball Tonight just flashed two disheartening statistics about the Brewers: - They have 4 blown saves already this season, tied for most in MLB. - They're batting .179 with only 1 home run out of the cleanup spot. Hopefully today is the day they start to turn things around. I think if Suppan can just keep the Brewers in the game, they have a chance against Figueroa.

    Yeah...I think a lot of people don't realize the Brewers have Fielder for one more arby year after his current two year contract expires. I just don't see the point in trading him this year yet. Yeah, if some team offers one or two really good young pitchers for him, then maybe, but since that realistically isn't going to happen, may as well keep him and not worry about replacing all the offense he brings to the table.

    It was a good game today, at least. Disappointing finish, but it was a good pitching match up. You never know, something could finally "click" with this team and they could go on a four or five game win streak. At some point they'll get a couple wins to rub together, at the least. I doubt they're going to finish the season 3-159.

    Gamel isn't a first baseman. I don't know why he keeps being mentioned when a potential Fielder trade is discussed, but Gamel isn't a first baseman. He won't put up the 1B numbers an NL team would want, either.

    This is a tough one to get upset about...it was a well pitched game on both sides, and a 1-0 loss isn't like a blowout or anything. Still, you have to think this team is going to string together a win or two soon...they really need to start kicking things into gear, pronto.
  6. Invader3K
    Make it 3-8 now. Another tough loss.

    Gallardo looking good so far. Three strike outs in the first inning was a nice thing to see.

    Personally, I'm hoping their governor goes through this secession thing so I can enlist and go down there... Seriously though, yeah, I think most of us have traveled beyond little ol' Wisconsin at some point or another. I took my mower in for a tune up today and swept the garage out. You can feel summer coming sooner than later!

    Holy cow, I almost forgot it's a day game today! I'm glad I clicked on this thread! A win today would be so huge. Let's go Brew Crew!

    Lowe would have been nice, but it didn't seem like he was ever mentioned in connection with Milwaukee. I can't believe Melvin didn't at least talk to his agent...I wonder if it was simply a case where a player had no interest in coming to Milwaukee. I guess I don't know how you can say "Melvin wouldn't even consider him," unless I'm forgetting something that was reported. Peavy is still an option, presumably. Again, no one seems sure about his no-trade clause thing. I wish Melvin could have gotten more done in the off season as far as starting pitching...but I'm sure there is stuff that happened that we don't even know about. I do sometimes wonder what happened to all the money budgeted for CC as a "special case". If "special case" means "bonafide superstar player who will help draw 3 million fans and give a strong chance of returning to the playoffs", you would think Peavy would be a special case as well (among other possibilities that were out there). I would think Brewers fans would have embraced Peavy as quickly as they did CC. Again, though, we don't know for sure if Peavy will even be willing to come to Milwaukee, so it's all speculation.

    To me it almost looks like a combination of Miller Park and Wrigley, with elements of Shea thrown in. At least that was my impression from one game on TV.
  12. Invader3K
    You're absolutely right. I firmly believe the playoffs are more or less a crap shoot anyway. If just one of those games in Philly had gone our way, the Brewers could have potentially slid into the NLCS, somehow. Sometimes all the difference in the playoffs is a lining grounder taking a funny hop, or a guy hitting a fluke home run to give his team the lead. You never know if a five game series. I just don't see how any Brewers fan can really not look back at the excitement of last season, and not feel good about it. I'm too young to remember 1982...I consider the 2008 Brewers to have been "my team", I guess. Maybe that's why I jumped all over DonMoney4Mgr before...I admit I may have overreacted a bit, but at the same time, I wouldn't trade the fun of last season for anything.

    "Soup is a battler and a great veteran presence " This made me chuckle, but probably for the wrong reasons, unfortunately. Cool story though. It's neat that you got to meet them.
  14. Invader3K
    OK, fair enough. I agree that the lack of up & coming pitching on the near horizon is definitely a bit worrisome. Maybe Jeffress will somehow pan out yet, but I won't hold my breath based on what some people more knowledgeable than me have said on this board about him. Worst case, if we are that far behind at the All Star break, maybe some trades are made for prospects that are almost MLB ready, or maybe Melvin will have some more flexibility this off-season to get someone.
  15. Invader3K
    Could be. This Brewers team just doesn't seem to catch any breaks or have any good juju going at this point. At least Braun homered tonight.
  16. Invader3K
    I hate Gary Sheffield.
  17. Invader3K
    Yeah...it's not like we would have made the playoffs keeping Lee anyway (more than likely).
  18. Invader3K
    I'm pretty sure, as far as FSN, April 24th was announced as the first HD game. FSN schedule: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20090331&content_id=4096658&vkey=pr_mil&fext=.jsp&c_id=mil

    Yeah, so why would they possibly trade him when surrounded by young impressionable teammates then? (that should be in blue) Let's get real...all of the guys traded have been expendable to the organization. The CC trade was huge. Anyone who disputes doing that trade at this point is just being ridiculous. I know some people have the mentality that we should hold onto all of our young prospects no matter what...but that's a recipe for mediocrity, generally. Sometimes you have to take a chance at being great. Melvin did that, and it paid off with the first playoff berth in 26 years. So what if we only won one playoff game. If we hadn't made the playoffs, the same people in the DonMoney4Mgr mold would be whining about "27 futile years." I don't care about Nashville and Huntsville making the playoffs, I care about Milwaukee.

    Yeah, Swisher has looked to be a smart pickup for Cashman. It seemed silly in light of the Teixeira signing, but now it looks like it was a really good move.
  21. Invader3K
    Wow, what an overly negative and worthless post. There's so many things wrong with what you said, I'm not even going to bother.
  22. Invader3K
    I would bet Madden will still occasionally "guest" on games and do some special features and things like that. But I think he really is done as a full time announcer.
  23. Invader3K
    Actually Jenkins might not be a terrible fit for them.
  24. Invader3K
    Personally, I think maybe DiFelice should be looked at as a candidate for the rotation is Suppan continues to struggle and the Brewers decide to not stick with him.
  25. Invader3K
    According to Rotoworld, the Rangers have him under control through 2012. He's making near the league minimum this year. So seems like a good value for them.
