Time to clean house

The ranting and raving of a Brewers fan and lunatic with a limited baseball knowledge:

Time to clean house. Get rid of Yost. Get rid of Sveum (Thank goodness that guy isn't a school crossing guard!). Take it on the chin and can Gagne. We lost Sheets' start, so now we've got four more games of starter pitcher lines of 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 109 pitches.

You all know baseball a lot better than I do. What could we get for Sheets realistically? Could we pull some top level pitching prospects so that next year's rotation isn't total crap in the 2-5 slots? Might a contender in need of a back-of-the-rotation starter take Suppan off our hands at the deadline?

If we could ditch these guys, couldn't we start '09 with Braun, Fielder, Hart, and Gallardo as the core along with some serious pocket change to go on a bender when free agency comes around?

Also, can we put Bill Hall down? I don't mean put him down as in insult him. Or put him down as in send him down to the minors. I mean put him to sleep. He makes me on a Friday afternoon with baseball on the radio look productive.

Lastly, F the cubs.

Rant over. I'm sorry for wasting your time and page space, but I feel better.

LMAO @ Sveum as a crossing guard

If Ned were Sveum’s boss he still would not face any repercussions. He’d back up Sveum saying “He was just trying to do his job, and his future as a crossing guard i still haven’t determined, because I don’t make decisions after tough mass slaughterings of school children!”

A school of 800 kids and only 20 got hit by the truck. Pretty good ratio. Math is on our side.

Dammit

I thought this post was an offer to come over to my house and put all this crap away. What a letdown.

you realize that once sheets goes down, he is our ace. and the thought of that makes me cringe

So where are

all these magical pitchers we’re going to have in our starting rotation next year? What I gather from your post is that Sheets should be traded for “top-level pitching prospects” who somehow will be ready next year already, and preferably five of them because the rest of our current rotation sucks beyond belief and you’d presumably want to get rid of all of them too if you’re entertaining the notion of shipping out Suppan.

Well, that sucked again. But put this afternoon's game, and the seventh inning in particular, out of your mind for the evening and focus instead on the return of the Brewers' best pitching prospect to the mound after a 50-game drug suspension. That's right, Jeremy Jeffress is once again suiting up for the Brewers--or, more precisely, the High-A Brevard County Manatees. The game starts at 6:00 Central, and you can follow it here.
