Working on it -
I've heard this morning that the banner has been hung. "2008 Wild Card" with beige background. Sounded as it was hung on Fridays facade and the other banner/pennant was moved to that location as well.

Duffy homered? Not seeing such in the box score.

Awesome. Looks like Kenny also gets to play year-round. Enjoy that snow boys. Muahahahahahah.

I've got two games under my belt since returning. 4 for 5 with two walks and 4 runs in 7 plate appearances. Sadly we lost 17-7 and 20-18. Miss ya guys. Enjoy that party.

I wonder if the adminstration of the Milwaukee Brewers are considering hanging a banner or in the current case, "a pennant style" of hanging comemorative of being Wild Card Champions for the 2008 Season. Considering the Brewers haven't been Champions of much of anything, would it be a boost to this city and fan base to have something posted next to that 1982 AL Champions Pennant high above left field? Perhaps it's another way to put aside the past, put aside hearing about since 1982...., yet I'm sure some feel that Wild Card Champions just means the conference's 4th best and therefore not worthy of being noted. I vaguely believe I recall that Houston does have a Wild Card Banner, but it may be a sub-banner on how they finished that season? Weigh in your thoughts.

Boys, I got an email that stated your game will be at 7:15pm. Dummy me took the new balls with me, so hopefully they will have extra or let it slide. Go get at win! On a short note, thanks for the great season. It was a pleasure getting to know you guys and I enjoyed my one year back home. In short, Unfortunately, a lot of things have changed over the past year, that it makes sense for me and my family to return to Florida at this time. Keep in touch through bf.net and Go Brewers.

That's the price they had to pay 3 christmas's ago. He's just a #5 starter now, but oh well.

Sveum starting Jeff Suppan in an elimination game, completly blows any poor decision Ned Yost made, right out of the water.

Rosenthal says Hardy likely to be traded.

Not to mention that a 2009/2010 Arbitration Hardy coupled with a under $1M Escobar will certainly be cheaper than a Bill Hall/Hardy infield or a Free Agent/Escobar infield. -
This is absolutely terrible. Now another excuse exists when it's June 1st and he is hitting .215 and has made 8 errors. "Once he's healthy...." yada yada.

If you have a player in your system capable of playing a position (JJ at 3rd), why not fill the hole? Rather create a hole by moving him to fill a SP hole? We don't even know that there will be a hole in the rotation come 2010. Furthermore, I dont like pitching prospects for a JJ Hardy trade at all. And nobody is moving a #2 or greater MLB starter for a JJ Hardy. Leave the players in place and sign a free agent SP and fill 1 hole with 1 new player, not 2 holes with 2 new players and 1 rookie SS. It's just my opinion. I get the Rays comparison completely, I lived there for 10 years. However, if you look at the SP, they had roughly no fewer wins out of their SP than the Brewers did. (Depending upon how you break down the starts vs relief appearances of Niemann,Hammel,Villanueva,McClung It was the effectiveness of the RP that didnt lose games, blow saves, etc. The entire bullpen went roughly 21-10 (.677) for the Rays this season while the Brewers went 22-17 (.564) again that is without factoring if McClung/Villanueva losses were bullpen or starts. Given those things, I'd say that SP is not the problem in Milwaukee, it's RP. And if the holes were are looking to fill are RP than JJ can just suck it up and slide over and better to acquire pitching through free agency. -
Dodgers were a tough draw for the Cubs. They could have faced the struggling Mets instead, but they chose to tank against the Brewers late. Oh well. I'll say, 101 and counting, even though I'm tired of hearing about it.

I dunno. Depth is important so I can't just see them, "picking one and trading another". What is Hardy going to do if the Brewers tell him to move? "No, I'm gonna make $9M instead of $11M at 3b, I'm not moving" and throw a tantrum. Sorry pal, arbitration's a witch, isn't it? Doug Melvin puts you on the roster and Dale Sveum/whoever makes the lineup card with you at third base, what is he going to do? Pack his bag and go home? A long term deal for the All-Star JJ Hardy would be the ideal, but should they choose to continue the arbitration route, For 2009, Escobar in AAA and Hardy at SS should be the play. For Hardy's final year of arby they should move him to 3B and let Escobar play SS. If Hardy cries about the $2M or so lost and the inability to feed his family and drive something other than a Ford Taurus, then he'll leave via Free Agency and then the team can do something else. But that is two years away. In the mean time, we own you bub, deal with it and play where you are told. I'm sure you'll have enough money to survive either way. -
I don't have to hear, "The Brewers haven't won a home playoff game since 1982." That almost assuredly would have been the newest most repeated sports fact should the Brewers have lost last night.

To me the issue is whether Hardy would even be willing to move. He complained about moving in the batting order, and it's not in his best interest financially to agree to move positions. If I were Hardy I probably ask for a trade if they ask me to move. Hasn't this rumour of the finances of playing 3rd vs Shortstop been dispelled a number of times on here already? I thought somebody posted the salaries of top and mid-tier players at both infield positions and showed that the top 3rd baseman make more money than the top Shortstops in the league. Therefore, I doubt Hardy rebukes a move due to money. I think he is just a shortstop by heart and therefore that is why he wouldn't want to move. If the Brewers have approached him about a long term deal (5yr/6yr), he's got plenty of time to worry about that next contract in regards to moving positions. It seems to be that the Brewers are content with continuing to offer arbitration when it comes to Hardy due to Escobar's ceiling. But to say that Hardy would make significantly less money at 3B doesn't seem to be valid. And as somebody pointed out. If somebody wants him next year at SS after playing a year at 3B, then he just simply moves back, no big deal? -
8:15 CST. Rain in the forecast.

Projected Lineup Blind Draw.....See you there.

Brian Anderson to do Playoffs (Merged: TBS Announcers)
lcbj68c replied to Vgmastr's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Horrible move. Now BA has to try and keep his emotions in check and call it right down the middle. Though he has the most knowledge of the team, he suddenly has to try and find balance. I also don't understand what Jessica & Ashlee Simpson's father has to add to the baseball playoffs, but whatever. -

I plan to be there in the brand new retro Villanueva jersey I bought last night at fan zone (saw ewizabeff!). I'll be working at the stadium and therefore can't go. I would be there in my Wild Card T-shirt that I didnt buy from the fan zone (didn't see Valpo, because he was always one bar ahead of us last night, thanks for waiting up Matty! :wink:)

Do the other other guys get to travel with the team and be in the dugout still or no?
