A want to see a lot of this. Probably one of Brian Anderson’s finest calls.

that one looked like it was out of the park
But I found a website that says that this one was longer….can’t get the video to work though

WOW
I just watched that…that ball was hit HARD. And Lilly just served it up on a platter for him.

According to HitTracker
The one you’re talking about (video works) was 439 feet, but this one three days later was 447.

The two longest Brewers homers of the year so far
Branyan’s 458-foot Dew Deck bomb on 5/31, and Weeks’ 456-foot shot into the completely empty Dolphin Stadium outfield seats on 5/7.

“Ray Durham can hit very good pitching.”

Well, Haudricourt was right about one thing
“Generally, I don’t change the lineup because a guy missed a play or made a mistake in the field,” Yost said. “That had zero to do with it.”

Sorry, I don’t remember the subject, partly because its so hard to pick it up with the awful audio. I just thought it was ironic that they were laughing it up together when they are often adversarial, or at least appear so from the outside.

I used to kinda like Derek Lee
now I hate the Cubs and everything associated with them, their organization, etc. It’s unhealthy to hate something this much.

I like Derrek Lee
Most of the Cubs players are pretty cool, except for Zambrano and Soriano who seem like assholes regardless of what team they’re on.
The fans though…not so much.
Ryan Braun: He loves it.
