in Game Threads
We're starting Seth McClung, and they're starting Ubaldo Jimenez. Most importantly, we have CC Sabathia, and they don't.
Game time is 7:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

Did you airbrush Shouse out of that picture?
I could’ve sworn he was in there somewhere.
Also, cheese.

speaking of whom...
nice confidence-boosting game yesterday for all three of our relievers who seemed to labour a bit of late.

Is C.C.'s press conference on anywhere?

Yost just said on the radio pre-game show
that Suppan hyperextended his elbow on a swing about a month ago and has been labouring through that. Take it for what it’s worth…

did they also find
that he had a mechanical adjustment that needed to be made
or perhaps that he was tipping his pitches?

whoohoo!
i’m going to watch me some brewer games:
MLB.com has just announced this offer for those who vote in this now time-honored process:
• If you are not a current MLB.TV subscriber (MLB.TV or MLB.TV Premium), then you are eligible to receive a one week free trial of MLB.TV Premium from July 11-18. That will amount to five full days of the regular season. A valid e-mail address is required for the offer.

of course, I think that coincides with the San Francisco series. Can I choose another week, please?;)

oooh, oooh..
is CC projected to pitch the Giants series? I suppose that won’t be known until right before (or right after) the ASB.
I’ve already seen Sheets and Santana match up. It’d be fun to see another Cy Young past or future.

supposedly
he’s going to start both the last game before the ASB (the 13th) as well as the first one afterwards (18th), assuming they don’t end up moving away from the latter idea until then. So you might have two CC starts in that week.

isn't that the series with the complete Saturday blackout?
I’ve noticed that whenever I wanted to see Tim Lincecum pitch, the games would be blacked out. Ugh, West Coast starts and the stupid FOX monopoly.

Greetings from the Windy City!
Hello Brewers fans! I have a question that I haven’t been able to find the answer to.
LaPorta was drafted by the Brewers in the June 2007 draft but I don’t think he signed until August. As far as I understood, teams could not trade players for one year. Is that one year from when they draft a player or sign a player?
Thanks and congrats on getting CC.
Hey, it's a new century!

that's us
violating rules, left and right :)
maybe they could rephrase it to be PTBL #2, as indians don’t need LaPorta quite yet;)

What's the temperature over at Bizarro BCB
regarding the CC deal?
I’d check on my own, but I can’t stomach that place.

Fruit Loops and Bile is a good name for that place
Mostly people saying it isn’t enough. They were better before and still are. Its a good thing cuz we’ll stink after this year now.
My favorite though is how they’re licking their chops because they pound left handers.

It's still just rumors and innuendo!
Boy, Milwaukee sure would look stupid if this blew up in their faces! Ha Ha Ha! Just remember Cubs fans, the sexy move is not necessarily the right move! Ho Ho Ho!

And Sabathia has a 30+ ERA against the Cubs!
Sure, it’s one (1) start, but it’s indicative of…something!

I am shocked
that a package of Cedeno and Gallagher didn’t get it done.
But no pie.. if you don’ t think Cedeno and Gallagher is enough then maybe Murton.

i wish MLB writers
would stop calling the
Pirates Bucs (that’s a florida football team…or a homophone of a Wisconsin basketball team)
or the Rockies the Rox (I keep thinking Red sOX whenever I see that) – why not Rocks?

not to mention the...
Seriously, “Bucs” always annoys me, too. But then I’m somehow mis-wired anyway and tend to read “Tribe” as “Twins”. Doesn’t help that both teams are in the same division.

Zach Braddock having a good game
8 K’s in 6 innngs, 2 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks. He’s really unhittable. If he can just cut down on the walks, he can really be something.
He's extremely quick and good.

Great recovery there
Seth seems to have a knack for that. Kind of like Rickie has a knack for scoring runs. Or maybe I have no concept.
