    No. Sheets will command a tremendous amount of money in spite of his injury history. There are perenial powers like the Yankees and Cardinals who are desperate for pitching, and the Brewers could not and should not try to win bidding wars with them. In 1990 the Brewers gave Teddy Higuera what was at that time a huge four-year deal. It was a contributing factor to the long, dark nightmare from 1993-2004. By 2009 the Brewers will be staring at long-term deals for Fielder, Weeks, Hardy, and Hart in order to buy out years of arbitration and free agency. They'll have to rely on their minor league pitching depth and more Melvinesque shrewd trades. I can live with that.

    I would like to see Miller start tonight due to the match-up with Davis. Does anyone off-hand know the Brewers record with Miller catching vs. Estrada. It would seem that the Crew's winning percentage with Miller in harness is strikingly better.

    I sat in the outfield club level today (third base side so I'm currently a lovely shade of reddish-orange) and I still don't understand how I ended up with my tickets. I called the ticket office Friday and was told that SRO was all that was left. On a whim, I tried the internet ordering process Saturday AM and again found that SRO was the "best available." For some reason, I tried again Saturday night (although I realize that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again while expecting different results) and this time scored two club level seats. Does anyone know how that works?

    "Who doesn't belong in the Hall that was inducted already?" Bill Mazeroski and Phil Rizzuto spring instantly to mind.

    Unfortunately the question raised in this thread has no easy answer. A related question was posed by my 9-year-old son who asked me what the Brewers would do if they clinched their division with a whole week left. I replied that it would give Yost a chance to align his pitchers for the playoffs, allowing for Sheets to start game one. Then came the next logical question--who starts game 2? Right now, I do not like any of the answers. It's a good thing that the offense has been mashing.

    I agree with most of the original post. I think the Texas loss--which all occurred with two out and none on--was the most disappointing. I think Craig Counsell deserves the best defense award, which is in no way intended as a slap at J.J. (When I saw Bill Hall listed under honorable mention, I must admit to almost choking--there has been little honorable about his defense to mention.)

    Don't do that to us, Uke!

    This one's gonna hurt BAD.

    That triple play contest isn't worth the cost of a stamp to send in an entry. I bet Jim will feel embarrassed reading that every game. I know that I will tire of hearing it.

    The only baserunner I can think of who is worse is Brady Clark. He's in Fernando Vina's league.

    The oft-told Uecker joke goes "grab a bat and stop this rally." While that would apply to Chad Moeller, it also could go like "Hey Brady, go run the bases and kill this rally!"

    Tonight's home run inning contestant picked JJ Hardy. From the standpoint of pure probability, why would anyone pick someone besides Lee, Jenkins, Fielder, or perhaps Billy Hall?
