BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"

Apparently we found Anundsen's innings limit?

That’s a surprising line given they let RJ battle it out for 9 runs in 1 inning the other day.

Do the Phillies have the easiest remaining schedule?

We've got uniforms and everything, it's really great!

I think the Astros do

And they’re pounding the Pirates.

I regret having made fun of the Astros trades.

That was the coolest thing I've ever seen

Jeez. That video’s got old-balls. I’m surprised that every person on the interweb hasn’t seen it.

Its still a great video, though.

If we set that up right below the batter's eye at Miller Park,

and start it up when Take Me Out to the Ballgame and Roll Out the Barrel come on, coupled with the Sausage Races, best 7th Inning stretch ever. With Tarerral having extra boom. Not to mention to reduce the overall suckyness of the team.

Jimmy Rollins

doesn’t take the bait from Trenni for the opportunity to trash talk but gives Trenni that smile.

Hopefully

We don’t end up completely murdering our wild card chances

Yost

“The extra base damage got us.”
Something about two good pitchers.

He’s acting even and cool and his arms are twitching like hell.

by ol Pete on Sep 11, 2008 9:25 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Sheets now

You can tell he just thoroughly enjoys his time with the media.

/sarcasm

by ol Pete on Sep 11, 2008 9:27 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Just for future reference

Hank Blalock’s career OPS vRHP is .851
Russell Branyan’s career OPS vRHP is .826

And just for the heck of it, Mark Teahen’s career OPS vRHP is .769

Point, and I cannot emphasize this enough: there is a viable lefty third base platoon option already on the Brewers that will not cost much. No matter how much Rambling Al gets hot tips about who the Brewers get to fix the 3rd base situation…

Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)

by Jordan M on Sep 11, 2008 9:34 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We’d have to sign Branyan though right?

by ol Pete on Sep 11, 2008 9:42 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

but given the fact that the world hates him, it’d probably be a 1 year, $2 million deal or something like that.

Sat: George 2 (37, missed catch, fielding) Fri: George (35, throw) Tues: George (34, throw)

Sounds good to me.

by ol Pete on Sep 11, 2008 10:01 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

hehe

I actually thought it was kinda a sweet idea, not to mention it was half-joking.

(here’s what that’s referencing, btw)

Blalock craziness

Blalock’s 2008 splits: .792 vs. LHP, .690 vs. RHP
Blalock’s 2007 splits: .796 vs. LHP, .932 vs. RHP
Blalock’s career splits: .640 vs. LHP, .851 vs. RHP

Branyan could be back this year

From McCalvy:

Third baseman Russell Branyan (oblique) will begin a rehabilitation stint at Maryvale Baseball Park in Phoenix on Friday. He’s aiming to rejoin the Brewers for the final week of the regular season.

But

By then he’ll have been out so long that there’s no time to get him back into the swing of things, so he’ll only be good for the bench, or something.

move the hands to the throat

and we have a deal. I need a Bud Light.

What exactly is he trying to do there?

It looks a little too ambiguous.

This was far more entertaining than the game.

Hence my decision to call it "screwing around" as opposed to "in-depth study."

by KLSnow on Sep 11, 2008 10:26 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Is there something wrong with me?

Because I was really hoping that video would end badly.

by antbogey on Sep 12, 2008 8:34 AM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I kept expecting that too

Like he was going to start playing Huey Lewis and the News, and the garage ends up on fire.
