Brewers are off, but Cubs and Cards are in action.
At the moment, the Cards and Tigers are tied at 1 after seven complete, and the Cubs are down 5-0 to the Orioles after three. (Hey, that's only 5 Geovany Soto RBIs from a tie game!)

7-0 now
That is going to be a lot of Soto RBIs but it is still possible. Really wanting the cards to lose though.

This would be the Cubs' first home series loss to anyone other than the Brewers
He's extremely quick and good.

Gameday
Weird. The batter designs at first made me wonder if it was early advertising for the LLWS or something.

Marquis
His ERA is now above Dave Bush’s. That’s got to be a blow to the ego.

Cards take the lead
Pujols went 4-4 with a walk in his first game back.
He's extremely quick and good.

Yeah, Jake Arrieta too
The Brewers drafted him in 2005, but he didn’t sign.
He's extremely quick and good.

Nothing like a kid born in the 90's making the World team
to make you feel old.

Hold on
He’s an extreme case. He won’t even be 18 at the game.

He is there though
and even without him the birth years of just about every other player are starting to get pretty damn close.

The Cubs are beating the Brewers
The Arizona versions, anyway. Arias with his first professional XBH.
He's extremely quick and good.

Cubs
So much for the Soto RBI’s. Blanco pitch hit for him and picked up one.

Does anybody else get nervous
whenever the Cubs put a runner on, thinking its the beginning of a 12 run rally?
by Getting Yosted on Jun 26, 2008 4:43 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
a bit..
But that’s starting to fade as the Cubs show some weakness. I’m more concerned about us at the metrodome.
by SgtClueLs on Jun 26, 2008 4:44 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not concerned
For those concerned about Prince’s weight, I hear he is on a new diet. It consist entirely of hitting in the park home runs. I hear he will start phase 2 this weekend.

Hey Jeff
Just wondering if you were still planning on bringing back the list of links to related brewers and other quality baseball sites around the wide world of web.

He left Huntsville’s game tonight with a leg injury after stealing second.
He's extremely quick and good.

Good day
the team in first in the division, in front of us in the WC, and in back of us in the WC (Marlins) all lost.

Gagne
had to be pulled before he finished the first inning. A couple of hits, a walk, and a wild pitch, he got two outs on 29 pitches before they brought in Choate.

what's the "rule"
on length of rehab assignments? Can we just keep him there the rest of the season, please?

I think they get two weeks
This was supposed to be his last one, but they almost have to give him another inning.
Right?

i think it's 30 days, actually
I know it’s 30 days for rule 5 picks.
Also, cheese.

You're right:
According to the Rules, players on a Disabled List “may be assigned to a Minor League Club for the purpose of injury rehabilitation for a maximum of 20 days in the case of non-pitchers and 30 days in the case of pitchers.”

His performance has been of the rule 5 quality
so I think we should get to treat him as such.

as it happens...
Choate also ended up throwing 29 pitches, but he managed to get through 2.1 innings with that. No hits, no walks, 1 K.
I can’t say I’m particularly excited, but I guess the Stetter/Choate roster swap can’t be far away…

I hope
we don’t see Gagne on the big boy team for the rest of the year

I think he's joining the team in Minne-haha land
Could be there right now. Not sure how you can suck at AAA and somehow be trusted in important games. I’m hoping Melvin realizes he just blew it, claim that Gagne has some season ending injury and be done with it.

Heh
One of two outings coming back from injury is enough to say he sucks at AAA, huh? Pretty quick hook there. I hope he spends more time in Nashville, but I wouldn’t say he sucks at AAA.

you're right
I’m saying, that if he does suck, I hope it doesn’t turn into one of those protracted Turnbow sagas. When I watch him, he seems to have all the ability necessary to be a really good closer. I’m still hopeful. But if he is broken mentally or whatever the hell happened that he can’t go out there and compete, forget him and move on.

Another ESPN blurb on Sabathia
This time from Jayson Starks:
Here at World Rumblings Headquarters, we’re hearing the same noises that our buddy Buster Olney has been hearing—that the Brewers loom as one of the most serious potential bidders on Sabathia, even if he’s just a rent-a-starter. The Brewers have a deep system. And principal owner Mark Attanasio has made it clear to his baseball operation that it’s time to go for it. So if Sabathia winds up somewhere other than Milwaukee, said one baseball man who has spoken with GM Doug Melvin, “it won’t be because they’re afraid to give up their prospects.”
He's extremely quick and good.

will Prince
feel threatened that there would be a bigger eater in the clubhouse?
