Thats Freakin Sweet

I'm all for bringing him in. Those calling him racist are only taking a surface look at him, judging him through a narrow world-view. Luke Scott article.

Other than the disappointing Cubs series, The Brewers have probably done as well as can be expected. Maybe a game worse.logan, you can't just take that series out of the equation though...just like you can't take that one bad inning out of most of Narveson's starts that Schroeder keeps talking about in the broadcasts. The reality is that something HAS to be done about the hole behind Prince now, while the Crew is in first and the Living Statue is out for up to the next six weeks in St. Louis. I know Green hasn't "proven" it for a whole year in AAA, but he's been really impressive and has earned a chance.

In Prince's post-game interview, he couldn't recall what the big-run inning was exactly...this whole thing about Tony P not knowing it was the ninth isn't as big of a deal as some here think. These guys play a long season, I'm sure they process the games mentally different than fans.

I'm feeling uneasy, but cautiously optimistic over the first two picks. I couldn't imagine how exciting it would be to be a Rays fan today, or a Rays front-office guy...10 picks in the top 60?! That's nuts. How many (if any) of those guys are going to draft and follow guys?

Someone's still celebrating Cinco de Mayo methinks.

Where's Tanaka when we need him to give a pep talk to Yo? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKq1uF1T__8&feature=related

Interesting thought, though if Fielder is shipped, I'd personally like Andy LaRoche instead of Lee with Gamel at third with the Brewers shipping McGehee to the A's for one of their extra starters as was suggested on MLBTR further down the page in the Iwakuma article. The Crew needs some lefty bats.

Wow. Thanks Mass. Great blog by BA. He does a really nice job of writing.

Edgar, I understand that, still doesn't change the fact that she showed no tact. It could have been handled much better. I have no doubts had the roles been reversed, Ernie would have done it correctly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Zelasko This is the clearest piece I can still find on it. It's right below her biography. The fact that he said that it didn't offend him, allowing the matter to drop, is just more proof of how classy he is.

Thanks for posting that Jim. Ernie Harwell, to me, is easily one of the classiest men in baseball. He'll be a great loss to the game. If I ever, for whatever reason, need a quick spike in my blood pressure, all I need to do is recall how horribly treated he was by Jeannie Zelasko during the 2005 All-Star game festivities. I can't type the words I was shouting at my television when it happened.

Well, yesterday I took a leap of faith and left my well-salaried, full-benefits job as a CPA to start a business with a childhood friend doing digital signage. My friend has run a multi-media advertising business for years, but he doesn't design websites. He has "a guy" but I don't think he's over-the-top thrilled with him. We have our URL already (alcovedigital.com), but I took web publishing back in the mid-nineties so I'm unsure what language can be used to build it. I'd love your input Brian.

Could he be the young, toolsy, buy low type in need of a change of scenery that the Crew could be looking for? What would it take to get him?

Maybe the guy they referenced on the radio was going off of what TH said...who knows. When all is said and done, hopefully it works out for the Crew. Billy can play one of a number of positions (obviously), there won't be a problem finding him ABs.

That was TH's guess in his post. Maybe so, but the guy they referenced wasn't Haudricourt from what I could hear ( I was on the phone in my office ).
