Coyotes are much smaller than wolves. The DNR is saying the police did what they had to do by shooting it. In a residential area like that and kids around they really had no choice.

Probably could've just kept Parra in to bat instead of Hall there. Parra probably would've at least taken a pitch and not weakly rolled over a ball off the plate.

Again I'm not blaming these walks on Parra. He's pitched well, DeMuth is just awful in his strike zone. It's the size of a pinhead right now.

That ball 1 to Miles was in exactly the same spot as the called strike 2 to Hart. Looks like I'm going to need to visit the cussin' corner today.

I hate this ump. No way that should've been called a strike on Hart after Parra has been getting squeezed on the outside corner. Edit: And a second horrible called strike. The umps we've had this year have been horrid.

Salvage one game ple...oh, wait, opponent pitcher is right handed. Nevermind.

SMASHVILLE COMING BACK!!!! Oh yeah and the Admirals beat the Woofs in OT tonight to take a 1-0 series lead. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I love posts like this. It actually assumes that Melvin just sat there and did nothing on purpose. I'm sure he tried to make some trades and I'm so no trades got done because the players he wanted were not available or traded to another contending team. You could make the argument he could've added more but how much of a difference does it make and how many assets do you give up to get an upgrade somewhere else? There has to be a limit where you say no more, that's too much to give up. He went out and got Linebrink and 99% of people believe he overpaid to get a reliever. Look at some of the other trades at the deadline. Eric Gagne for Kason Gabbard, David Murphy and Engel Beltre. We know it was between the Brewers and Red Sox for Gagne and the Rangers thought the Red Sox made a better offer. Matt Morris for Rajai Davis. What role would either of those players have filled? Octavio Dotel for Kyle Davies. Again, Dotel would've been nice but I believe he also spent time on the DL with Atlanta. Scott Proctor for Wilson Betemit. Again, what would the benefit have been for us? Luis Castillo for Drew Butera and Dustin Martin. Again, what purpose would Castillo have served here? Kyle Lohse for Matt Maloney. Mediocre starter. We had plenty of those last year. Tadahito Iguchi for Michael Dubee. Again, Iguchi served no purpose here. Mark Teixiera and Ron Mahay for Saltalamacchia, Andrus and other minor leaguers. Teixiera would've been great...if we didn't have Prince at 1st base. Ty Wigginton for Dan Wheeler. Again, no purpose for either of them here. Kenny Lofton for Max Ramirez. Lofton would've been nice and may have taken playing time away from Jenkins but Gross got some time and played quite well. The difference was minimal. Again those were the deals around the trade deadline. I'm sure Melvin tried to get an Adam Dunn or someone like that to go for it it's just that they weren't available. Both teams have to agree to a trade and if the team doesn't want to trade the player that Melvin covets you can hardly blame him. Also you can hardly blame him for not doing more at the deadline when Teixiera was the only big name moved and we had no need for him.

What's going on here? Have you hired a personal writer for your posts here? Because you're clearly not clever enough to come up with these on your own.

I hate this team more than I hate the Cubs sometimes. Now would be one of those times.

I do too. It's like one of those gross farms with tons of cows that you can smell on a hot, muggy day from a couple miles away.

Blocked ball hit off Molina's leg right back to Kendall. Poo-holes probably thought it was further away than it was and got thrown out.

31 pitches without recording an out. Get ready bullpen.

4 strikes 9 balls for Villanueva. Fantastic.

Wow, Estrada is playing for the Nationals tonight. He's listed at 5'11 255 lbs.

Clearly the redheaded stepchild of the Cubs organization. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Who's going to win it? The Bucks! The Bucks! Light it up! Light it up! Actually the Bucks might be able to win tonight against the T'Wolves. Anyways I hope the Brewers offense lights up Wainwright tonight but I'm not expecting it.

It's a TV show on ESPN. They basically take four columnists and have them debate sports stories. Tony Reali the host, gives them points based on the how strong their answer to the debate was. If they made no sense in their debate or completely went off on a different tangent they'll likely lose points. If they make a strong debate with solid points they'll get points. If they zing one of the other columnists they'll also get more points. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Exactly. That move never made sense to me. Hart could be another leadoff hitter after Fielder homers. Hall is just a low OBP free swinger with some nice pop. He should be 6th.

Hall is showing kids how to recognize patterns. GIDP, K, GIDP, K.

Wow Shouse staying in to face Pujols. Turnbow better be warming up to come in next inning.

Well that wasn't at all predictable.

Bush better not come out for the 6th. Bush is getting smacked around.

Weak sauce on that throw by Crazy Joe.

FSN camera work FTL.
