Ouch.

But it took him 4 hours to do it

And it’s about what Weaver did in his first start.

Minus the K's you mean

I still don’t think Vargas will be very useful but could he possibly be less useful than the starters we currently are employing?

Visit my baseball blog ...or else!

So Huntsville finally lost

Does that mean the Brewers finally win?

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

Another error

I think it’s time to somehow create a innovative new defense consisting of 3 corner outfielders. That way we can make room for Gamel, LaPorta, and Braun all on the same team.

we tried that last year

but putting one of the corner outfielders near third base didn’t work out so well.

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on May 9, 2008 10:46 AM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Hmmm...

How about a softball style outfield with 4 outfielders. Not sure who we could get rid of…maybe have a roving third/second baseman who is positioned according to the sidedness of the hitter and his tendencies.

Every time the pitcher throws the ball

He then runs to cover third.

He's the round mound of profound

Unless Dave Bush is pitching

Then Kendall covers third because, hey, the ball’s not getting past the bat. ;)

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.
