Around SBN: Citi Field: Where Homeruns Go To Die Bar-right-arrows



Brewers call-up Manny Parra

A report today has LHP Manny Parra coming to the big club. RHP Chris Spuling had to leave due to family reasons. Parra pitched a perfect game in his second triple A game. Parra will most likely be in the pen. Maybe if Cappy still continues to struggle, Parra maybe the guy to fill his spot. All of these young pitchers that are up with the brewers can really help the depth when it comes to october and there arms will probably not fatigue. This has not been confirmed. Doug Melvin said that Chris Spurling might be able to pitch tonight. This can not be confirmed until around 12 noon. Para traveled to Milwaukee on Sunday night. But the team was still in a holding pattern on Monday morning, general manager Doug Melvin said. Right-handed reliever Chris Spurling left the team Sunday to tend to a family emergency and could return for the start of Monday's game. Parra went 7-3 with a 2.63 ERA in 13 starts with Double-A Huntsville before a promotion to Nashville. He went 3-1 with a 1.74 ERA in four starts with the Sounds, including an 11-strikeout perfect game at Round Rock on June 25. He has not pitched since July 6.

"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!"

Brew Crew Ball is made with whole grains and contains bits of real grit. It's the perfect dessert for a playoff berth that's been in the crock pot for 26 years. Guaranteed to enhance your sarcasm and sense of irony!

Ode to spring.

I like the snow as much as anybody who likes snow. I even don't dread shoveling. Still, I find myself anxious for spring. 

Why?

I can't wait to play hookey from work or school and make it to a game at Miller Park. I want to have the money I save now go to a goal other than just tuition and bills. I want to sit behind home plate and watch Brauny hit a monstrous homer.

And that, my friends, is all I want for Christmas - spring.
