Hopefully Sveum's reputed old-school no-nonsense approach will get some of these guys to shorten up with two-strikes, hit behind the runner occassionally, and do various other things that winning teams do.

Looper isn't interested in the Brewers from what I've read.

I don't see why Jenkins would get booed since the Brewers basically declined to offer him a contract (or a reasonable one). I was just looking at last nights boxes and clicked on a players career stats who had a big night and found he had some very similar numbers to Geoff Jenkins: G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB BB SO SB CS OBP SLG AVE 1241 4430 663 1227 288 22 213 706 2198 396 1126 31 14 .347 .496 .277 1242 4525 678 1229 260 26 196 719 2129 320 877 127 60 .325 .470 .272 http://mlb.mlb.com/images/trans.gif The first player listed is Geoff Jenkins, the second.....Torii Hunter. Hunter got, what, $90mil over 5 years and Jenkins got $13mil over 2 and the Brewers weren't will to pay that (and rightly so when you can put Braun out there for $450K). Now, I know Jenkins and Hunter are not the same player and you have to consider alot of factors, but, the numbers say Jenkins was pretty productive during his tenure in Milwaukee. I, for one, will cheer him.

I know I will.

Well, he received run support in 1 of his 2 games this year, but, since there is a bit more talent now I'm guessing he'll get better support in more than 50% of his starts.

Who cares if they do? If we take the wild card and kick their butts in the playoffs it'll be sweet.

yeah i rented one...umm no! no one person does that ! at least no one who frequents this site.

for the mets?

great. a 4A player. that'll put us over the top. that and another half dozen relievers, so yost can make twice as many pitching changes.

There is none. We're going to blow a huge lead to the Cubs. The Cubs! Tick, tick, tick...

interesting except there will probably be no expansion any time soon. after talking contraction just 5 years ago, they won't be expanding for probably 15-20 years if at all

umm, no thanks. we already have too many mediocre outfielders

Yuck!

Doubtful. They need a guy (or two) that can hit for average/get on base. That doesn't seem to be Nelson.

Whoever kidnapped Yost, must have returned him already. Putting a guy in a tie game who hasn't pitched in the bigs in 3 years. The ultimate in stupidity when Wise hadn't pitched in 3 days. That's Ned for ya.
