Unfortunatly, Russell's not even on the Final Vote ballot...complete pile of crap if you ask me. Not only does Marquis make it over Yo/Trevor but Ben Zobrist makes it over guys like Ian Kinsler, Carlos Pena, Russ, etc.
I'm not sure, but this is probably actually good for the Crew. It'll save them a couple thousand bucks. I know some players have it in their contract that if they make the All-Star team, they get a $100,000 bonus or something.
This just adds more proof that ESPN hates the Brewers But seriously, the only reason this is a story is because Tony Sr. played in San Diego, as well. If Tony Sr. played for Seattle, then Tony Jr. wouldn't be getting any spotlight at all.
First off: Welcome, lloyd. Secondly: I don't really think we need any bullpen help. It's doing fine right now, so I wouldn't try fixing something that's not broken.
Former AL Rookie of the Year (and Menasha native) Eric Hinske was acquired by the New York Yankees from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday for a pair of minor leaguers. Pittsburgh will receive right-hander Casey Erickson and outfielder Eric Fryer for the utilityman. In addition, the Pirates will give the Yankees cash. Story
Yay for Tim Lincecum pitching against the Cardinals and not the Brewers! It would've been even more embarrassing than yesterday....Tiny Tim's got a 1-hitter through 6, and a 6-0 lead to work with.
It's hard to understand how Russ doesn't have as many votes as some of those Brewers (Hall, Kendall, Weeks) that are in the top 5 at their positions. I really hope Russ makes it in as a Final Vote candidate and gives the fans in St. Louis a show in the HR Derby.
Isnt Gerut good for anything? Kendall running? How about Narveson? Hopefully he wouldnt have had Kendall out there if we were down by one! No. Clearly, Gerut's good for nothing. Actually, I'm not sure whether or not I should use blue, there.
