  1. I'll be doing "Upfront with Mike Gousha" on Sunday, April 27. It airs on WISN-TV, Channel 12 in Milwaukee, at 9 a.m. (Other stations carry it, too, but at different times: WISC-TV, Madison; WAOW-TV, Wausau; WKBT-TV, LaCrosse; and WBAY-TV, Green Bay)
  2. Ugh. I was hoping that Jocketty would wind up far, far away.
  3. Re: the "gamer" issue, I guess it depends on the injury. If you're feeling like 75% because of the flu, then I think you have to run your rear end out there and try to gut it out. But if you're feeling like 75% because of a twinge in your elbow, well . . . maybe it's a good idea to back off. (Discretion is the better part of valor, etc.)
  4. Probably not the most baseball PC thing to say in April, especially when your franchise hasn't been to the World Series in 60-odd years. But I don't think it's totally insane to say that the team is thinking about its ultimate goal.
  5. I'm sorry to see a fellow Balto. native go. Plus, the Brewers can no longer boast of having 2 of the 7 major leaguers ever named "Gabe."
  6. He'll whittle down that 540 ERA in no time.
  7. There's an article in the current New Yorker about it. (I don't really like the critic, though.)
  8. Me angry. Ned no manage good. Throw TV through window when under-used and emotionally frail long-hair pitcher take mound in tie game in ninth inning.
  9. I remember that post, and I agree with it. Just like I'm not giving up on my boy Gagne, I'm not giving up on Weeks. But if he is not able to find "it" I am curious as to if they would have some combo of Hardy and Escobar up the middle. This is why I wouldn't want to be a GM. Maybe you stick with him until he blossoms, or . . . maybe you deal him and he blossoms someplace else, or . . .maybe he just never pans out at all.
  10. You did the right thing, definitely, in terms of being up front with her about the issue. And I genuinely hope that things work out positively for you, in some way. (You might win the inaugural BF.net "Stand Up Guy" award.)
  11. I was holding my breath yesterday when Gagne pitched his third game in a row. Running him out there again today was just tempting fate.
  12. Whoa, did the DL Informer really use the words "rotator cuff"?
  13. Whenever you see "sore" and "arm" in the same sentence about a pitcher, it's probably not good news. Initially, I had thought this was not going to be a big deal, but reading those post-game quotes has me slightly more concerned. Basically, he's had a week of soreness. That can't be good, especially since it's near where he was injured earlier. But it doesn't sound too horrible (yet?).
  14. Yeah, and that's what frustrates me about it a little bit. Nothing is stopping him from throwing it more -- and being more effective -- other than sheer will.
  15. If you're looking for something to keep you occupied during a rain delay, WPR has archived the call-in show. You can get there through my blog, http://lawandfaith.blogspot.com/. It was interesting -- a guy called from Wausau with some local political perspective.
  16. It amazes me, frankly, that it has taken him this long to use it even sporadically. It can be a devastating pitch, and it has the additional benefit of creating relatively little arm strain. I don't really buy the "he didn't need it" argument. Benny has great stuff, but it's not like he's been in the sub-1.00 WHIP range for his entire career. I actually think it might have been more of a pride/machismo thing -- he has wanted to blow guys away rather than finesse them.
  17. Totally disconnected from game progress thus far, because of work. Sounds like I missed . . . nothing?
  18. Davey Johnson, that's who I'd take. But I think it's premature to be revving up the anti-Ned bandwagon (on which I have ridden more than once myself) just yet.
  19. The BA's for last night's lineup (save for Hart and Kendall) were absolutely cringe-worthy. But it's early. I won't genuinely start to fret until maybe Memorial Day.
  20. If you're awake and interested, I'll be discussing this case on the "Ideas Network" of Wisconsin Public Radio from 6-7 a.m. on Weds., April 16.
  21. He's a warm MLB body, I'll give him that. As long as the guaranteed money is minimal, I don't see a problem.
  22. He scorched his homer yesterday -- so much so, in fact, that he injured that poor woman in the bleachers out in left.
