    The 8th inning guy is getting ready. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eyes.gif Can he hold this 5 run lead?
  2. thablingster
    This pitching performance today is brutal. Hopefully we can get to Duke and get some quality bullpen work. Soup isn't long for this game.
  3. thablingster
    Gazpacho for the loss. Way to give it all back. This is going to be a bullpen day considering Soup is already at 50 pitches. Time to rev up the Mota Relief Fund again.

    Hate to run yourself out of an inning like that, but getting a 4 spot sure is nice.
  5. thablingster
    Wow, Griffey got the boot. Congrats to Braun!
  6. thablingster
    I dig the stars and stripes hats, but they are definitely not worth the $35 they want for them in the MLB shop or at Lids. Good to see Soup turning a quick inning so far here.
  7. thablingster
    Lets go Gazpacho. We can get to Duke and get this sweep.

    The fact the Brewers are openly talking about acquiring C.C. Sabathia makes me think the deal is closer to being done than we think. I know sports stations in general like to speculate on stuff, but from my recollection I don't remember the Brewers broadcasts as a whole spending a lot of time speculating about acquiring a guy not on the team yet.
  9. thablingster
    I think we're being public for a couple of reasons: 1) We're really trying to show the fans--and everyone else in the league including the guys in our own clubhouse that we're trying to win this year. 2) By being upfront about what we're offering, we take away Cleveland's bargaining chip of getting a team to overpay by deception (e.g.: telling the Dodgers we're offering LaPorta, Gamel and + for C.C. for example). 3) The Brewers feel confident their offer is the best, as if another team does end up with C.C. they can hang their hat on the fact they made an ultra competitive offer if we end up with a Maddux, Wolf, or Grienke. 4) To gain interest from other teams thinking "well if they'll over LaPorta for Sabathia, maybe we can offer them player X for him. Obviously it is a distraction in some sense and that is often why GM's don't come out and speak in public on their efforts to acquire a specific player, but in this case we're pretty much calling the Indians bluff so there is no reason not to.
  10. thablingster
    If they want a Gamel or Escobar plus LaPorta in exchange for C.C., then I'd want rights to negotiate with Sabathia, which a) wouldn't happen, and b) we probably wouldn't be willing to give him what he wants. So in any case, if that's the word from the Indians I am firmly in the camp which hopes Doug tells the Indians to take our offer or we're done. C.C. may be the king fish in the sea of available pitchers, but with the bait we have to throw out there we could catch multiple fish instead of wasting all of it on one.

    Good win tonight. Nice to see Prince go oppo with that pitch. Break out the brooms tomorrow and hope a little home cooked Soup gets the job done.
  12. thablingster
    They're going to IBB Braun to pitch to Prince. Prince has been awful lately, but Prince doesn't take well to this type of disrespect.
  13. thablingster
    Ned's totally going to bunt JJ here. I know he will.
  14. thablingster
    Time for JJ to extend his hitting streak with another big fly, this time walk-off style.
  15. thablingster
    For FidoMcCokefiend: Kendall hit a chopper up the middle, it was fielded by Sanchez who threw to third, Hall tried to go back to second but was tagged out by the third baseman, who snap threw to first and Kendall had rounded the bag too far and was tagged out trying to get back to first.

    Eric Gagné's throwback jersey looks less baggy than his regular jersey, amazingly.
  17. thablingster
    http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif, we're all human Pedro. For all the good you do I think we can let that one slide.
  18. thablingster
    Ugh. Wow. I know Kendall wanted to try and take second on that, but yuck.
  19. thablingster
    Brewers not willing to give up too much for C.C.? ESPN is reporting the Brewers have restructured their offer and don't want to give up another prospect on LaPorta's level. They didn't mention names, but this thing is getting crazy. I personally believe TH over ESPN and think this could possibly be an Indians spin to garner more interest.
  20. thablingster
    Jack Wilson is the most annoying shortstop this side of David Eckstein.
  21. thablingster
    Nice job, Dave. Prince, this would be a good time for a moonshot off Paulie boy. Bush starts the 8th, Shouse up and if any trouble looms Torres comes in. Circumvent a need for the Mota Relief Fund.
  22. thablingster
    Jack Wilson hates the Brewers. Trade him to Los Angeles already. lol We'll get Maholm in the 7th, Bush needs to put up another 0.
  23. thablingster
    Jason Kendall looked like he was really concentrating on his bat there in the dugout. That or he was practicing his mad guitar hero skills.
  24. thablingster
    The waiting game continues. TH reports Melvin is now just waiting to hear if the Brewers win out or not, and expects to hear by tomorrow or Monday. This reminds me a lot of when we traded Carlos Lee, there were rumors here, rumors there, rumors everywhere then out of the blue we finally trade him. This thing will probably go down at 3am early Monday or something http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif.
  25. thablingster
    Not sure which was uglier there, LaRoche's baserunning or Weeks' throw to the plate.
