Vargas has been put into the Bullpen and will finish the year there in my opinion. Vargas has served us well this year...He has been a great fifth starter in my opinion and the team seemed to play well when he started the games.

Ahhhhhhhh. I think these guys need a day off.

Teach her how to score a game from the stands.... It will give her something to do and allow you to show here something that you know how to do. I think it will accellerate her learning..

You can say what you want about Canseco, but without his book and some of his allegations, would we be having this discussion now, would they have the testing they have now, Would Milwaukee be in First place? I really think the steroids hurt the small market teams as players inflated their stats and got bigger contracts from big market clubs and thus it hurt the small markets.

McGwire is Dave Kingman on steroids...if you put in McGwire, you have to put in Dave Kingman you hit 411 home runs without the Juice and that is probably about where McGwire would have been with out the Roids.

I think Rodriguez is probably das dirty as Bonds...so I hope Canseco has a little juice on him as well. Why Rodriguez gets a pass while other players are given the cold shoulder is beyond me.

The problem is not with the home runs you hit....it is with the missed opportunities you leave on the table when you swing for home runs... If home runs are a product of a good swing that happens to turn in to a home run....rather than a home run swing (going all out for a homer)...than I am ok with the home runs... But when players get that uppercut in their swing, yes they hit some home runs, but miss opportunities to score runs in other ways and their home run production then is not as important as it would be if they were taking advantage of other opportunities and just hitting home runs when they came. I am not drawing a conclusion either way with the Brewers players, but explaining that when you just look at the home runs and not at the way they are swinging the bat, you don't get a true sense if the team is missing opportunities.

I Like the idea of expansion... I don't even mind that the talent level thins out a bit......

Could Bush...take Cordero's spot as the Closer...that would open up Gallardo's spot. Bush Closed in College, I believe.

Fairways and Greens....4-4.

When you are looking are resigning any player, you have to look at the injuries they have had and decide if the injurie are likely to reoccur, affect the quality of pitching/play in the future and if the injury/overcompensation will cause other injuries. So if Sheets is healthy at the time they resign him they need to decide if his previous injuries will linger in the future or if he is ready to continue as an ACE.

I had to point this out after I saw the box score tonight....I actually had a valid point in this thread..... I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. edit: fixed EZ Board quote error

What year did Roberto Clemente die?

I am glad to see that others remember Brewers players (not just the stars, but even those who only got a cup of coffee in the bigs)....If they put on a Brewers uniform, I was once their greatest fan and appreciated the effort they gave to the organization. I sure would like to see the Brewerfan.net shirt if it featured Sebra.

If Suppan can go 13-13 this year...and continue to eat innings, he will be exactly what the Brewers needed. They needed him to take his turn every 5th day...win half the games he pitches and allow the younger pitchers to develop (gallardo and Villanueva) without throwing them into the starting rotation. Had we not signed Suppan, Villanueva may have become a starter...he may have been successful, but he also may have been above average, but asked to pitch an extra inning here, an extra inning there to save the bullpen and it might have regressed his progression...Having a guy like Suppan in the rotation helps the bullpen as you can leave him in to take a beating when he doesn't have it and you don;t have to worry about it affecting his future career annd psyche for the next game. I am glad we have Suppan on this team and will be happy if the Brewers go 17-17 in his starts...That will be just what this team needed when they signed him....
