Day off
Living in the Twin Cities, I am wondering where the Brewers may be hanging out tomorrow in Minneapolis on their day off. I’m guessing I won’t see Prince at the famous Murray’s Steakhouse downtown. Molitorfan or any other Minnesotans, any guesses?

I know this isn't really what you were asking
But I always liked Thai places (Tum Rup Thai, True Thai, Sawatdee) and Pizza Luce for vegetarian fare.

Ned comment
“That’s not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer,” Yost said.
That may be true, but doesn’t the math make him an unlikely run-scorer?
“It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter,” Yost told reporters. “See, you guys have no concept. He’s a run-scorer. So there’s nothing weird about it. That’s what he does.”

Yeah
I’m always torn on that sort of thing.
What actually tipped the scales is that you’re getting all these interviews, and trying to get more. I don’t want some minor league pr guy to talk to you, then see you write for a site calling itself a gangbang. I don’t try very hard to be “official,” nor will I ever, but I probably shouldn’t actively antagonize people like that.

Braun
no wonder he didn’t come out to see Kirbir…If he had he wouldn’t have been able to keep those hands off, and would have aggravated his injury. Way to take one for the team Kirbir!

He needs to ease off the alone time, otherwise his hand is just gonna keep getting sorer…

AZL Brewers are facing a pitcher named Ariel Alcantara
He was born in the same city as Izzy. Wonder if they’re related.

they're probably thinking
...if we pull him before 5, he can’t get the win! And starters need the win.

Possibly because they’re hitting them hard, Rock?

On thus plus side
Suppan has gone over twice as long as he did last time.
He's extremely quick and good.

And he carves up...McCann?
But can’t get Campillo out?
Okay.

He's a battler.

83 pitches and a day off tomorrow
plus the Brewers site tells us that reinforcements are on the way.
No more Suppan today puh-leaaaze.

Fred Sanford er, I mean Jorge Campillo
baffles the Brewers. That was painful to watch.

Why did the Brewers lose?
A. How many times were there runners in scoring position who didn’t come around to score? [insert stock complaint about RISP hitting]
B. Prince Fielder. Not getting a hit in twelve at-bats this series and 0-4 today? [obligatory “needs meat” statement]
C. Jeff Suppan. [length of contract kvetching]
D. Road sweep pressure got to them. [obsession about road losses goes here]
E. They lost. Of course it’s a Yosting. He’s the guy who made the lineup that only scored two runs, right?
F. Ben Sheets. Talking about testing free agency was bad juju. Everyone knows only selfish ballplayers even think about their future, much less talk openly about it.
G. The umpires. Presumably Ned Yost said something to them once and thus they were predisposed against the Crew today.
H. Who knows or cares? They won’t win them all.

I believe it was Lasorda that said it best
You’re gonna win 40 games & lose 40 games. Its what you do with the other 82 that matters most.

when on other blogs press the Z key and are surprised when it doesn’t go to the next message?
