Brewers: The Next Wave

As soon as the 2007 season ended for the Brewers, many of us immediately started to look toward the future, and building on the successes of this season.  A lot has been said about what 2008 may hold, but what about 2009 and beyond?  I know we've discussed our post-Braun and -Gallardo prospects in the past, but the Journal Sentinel has something to add as well.  It's not too detailed, but it has neat little blurbs on the likes of Mat Gamel, Alcides Escobar, Manny Parra (it's not so much a blurb as it is a Parra-graph), plus some flunkie named LaPorta, among others.  Worth a quick read on a quiet weekend.

Neat.
But was the JS trying to be dramatic by listing LaPorta's "stats" at the bottom of the article?  If not, what were they doing?  If yes, they failed.

Stats
In the print version of the J/S I believe there was a photo & seperate article on LaPorta.  It simply looks like a bad transition to the online format.

I heard
that he wants the head of the Drug Enforcement Czar brought to him on a platter.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Featured Poll

Poll
Jeff Suppan is due to be activated from the DL on Tuesday. What should the Brewers do with the rotation?
  • Insert Suppan and demote Dave Bush to the bullpen.
  • Insert Suppan and demote Son of Clung to the bullpen.
  • Insert Suppan and use Bush and McClung in a home/road platoon.
  • Kick Suppan to the pen and keep Bush and McClung in the rotation.
  • Trade J.J. Hardy for A.J. Burnett and leave the other three guys alone in a room with a sharp stick and the knowledge that there's only one open spot on the team.

Robinade - only 12% juice, but 100% Robin.

I saw it in Pick and Save today, located in the milk cooler area with the other single serve tasty drinks (I apologize for the crappy resolution on my phone's camera... I've dropped it one too many times). I think it was like $1.29, so it's pretty fairly priced and a healthier alternative to the tasty sugar-filled sodas we all know and love.

It's pretty much regular lemonade, but it's definitely good - much better than Minute Maid. My sister says it tastes like Robin's sweat is in it...

How she knows what his sweat tastes like is beyond me...
A Pat Listach sighting!

Read the article.
Awesome!
