Weekend Dad Mug -- "OMG!! Misty May is a Brewer" Edition

PrintHello Kiddies!
Merry Christmas and Happy Other Stuff! I am not sure why your Regular Dad dropped you off at my door again so soon, I can only assume, he is either getting beat up by cheerleaders, or getting whacked with a steak. Well let me get a new pair of sweatpants on, (I got a bit messy practicing for egg-nog drinking contests), and tell you all about the Brewers, bikinis and big snakes.
After a seemingly endless parade of "up the chimney moves", Doug Melvin finally decided to come down our collective chimney this off-season, by acquiring Misty May. It should have been obvious to all Brewer fans that Doug Melvin's most pressing need was to acquire a player for the Brewer fanbase to crush over, after the trade of JJ Hardy to the Twins (by the way, any Minnesotans wanting to crush on JJ need to get in line behind Harmon Killebrew).
Thinking outside the box, Doug Melvin filled our stockings in a way we could have never expected. I know you all want to get cracking on sending some inappropriate Christmas fanmail to Ms. May, so let me help you get started...
- Misty May's backside once humbled the most powerful man in the world.
- Here is a youtube video, where Misty May: throws out her first first pitch, amazes Rex Hudler and that Steve Psycho guy with her amazing grasp on the game of baseball, and Mike Scioscia asks her for her autograph "for his daughter"
- Misty celebrated Halloween as Little Bo Peep -- and made her husband dress up as former Brewers reliever Mike Myers, and apparently scared the neighborhood kids with his bizarre armslot.
I openly challenge those party-poopers at FireDougMelvin.com, to put a bad spin on this move.
In other Brewers news, the Brewers recently worked out a minor league deal with Agent Page Odle, (nice name!) to get Kameron Loe in Maryvale this spring.
Kameron Loe, who is the first Ranger castoff to ever play for the Brewers, spent last year in Japan, and his famous for his big snake named "Angel". Here is a gripping story about Loe sharing his big snake with his roommate CJ Wilson in 2006 - apparently if you ever lose track of your big snake, you can use some free-range rats to draw them out from under the refrigerator.
Unfortunately Kam no longer has his big snake, as I don't think he could take it to Japan with him. I am certain that I share a lot of disappointment with Brewer fans coming to grips with knowing that we will never find out if Loe's snake, Angel or Todd Coffey is higher on the food chain.
In other Cameron news, former Brewer Mike Cameron signed a 2 year, $15.5M contract with the Boston Red Sox. Here is a good collection of Mike Cameron notes, after the smoke has cleared a little. Over the Monster claims that Cameron has been more valuable than Jason Bay or David Ortiz..... combined.
I am certainly sad to see Mike Cameron leave for Boston, I am glad however, he got a decent contract with a decent team. It is interesting to me though, that Cameron will take a ~25% paycut in 2009 ($7.25M v. $10M). Had Doug Melvin offered Cameron Arbys, Cameron probably would have gotten a lot more money for his 2009 piggy bank - this means that not offering Cam Arbys was probably a frugal decision, once the Brewers front office decided that they weren't going to try to resign Cameron.
The Brewers also resigned Claudio Vargas to a one year deal. The Brewers also bought new pitching coach Rick Peterson one of these, to help him appropriately monitor Vargas's gamespeed.
In other Baseball News:
- The Reds solidified 3rd base by signing Scott Rolen to a 3 year extension.
- Scotty Pods is being targeted by the Cubs and other teams, I assume to play CF, and not as prey in some sort of forest manhunt, although upon reflection, I do think Scotty Pods would be a challenging quarry to hunt.
- Marlon Byrd is apparently close to signing with the Cubs to replace Milton Bradley. Here is a good collection of opinions on the Bradley/Silva deal.
- Laynce Nix got a minor league deal with the Reds.
- Former Brewer Joe Dillon signed a minor league deal with the Rays.
- Former Brewer Superstar Eric Young is now a roving-instructor for Houston.
Happy Holidays to everyone of my weekend kids. I will leave you with this video. If there is a worse Christmas Video, I haven't seen it.

ESPN analyst Keith Law says the Cubs should have just released Bradley instead of trading for Silva, figuring Silva isn’t worth a spot on the 40-man roster.
Didn’t the Cubs get $6MM in return.. Since Silva’s contract was bigger, they only saved $3MM, but wouldn’t it make more sense to release him now, after the trade, rather than before the trade was made?

Yep

If we're being technical
With Silva’s buyout I think the Cubs saved $4-$4.5 million over 2 years. I’m wondering if Law wrote about it before he heard about the cash considerations and didn’t edit the comment later. 24-hour new cycle. If you’re the 10th person with a comment on something, no one even knows you said anything at all.
Wow
Maybe I didn’t watch carefully enough (some natural defense mechanism), but I didn’t see any actual attempt to lip-sync in that video until the 1:12 mark.
You've got a couple screws missin' up in your toolbox, if you think that you'll stop this man from hittin' moonshots.
So
Misty May is somewhat attractive, in my opinion. If Megan Fox’s husband signed with the Brewers, that would be news, in more ways than one.
Also, I think the happiest person in the world that we signed Kameron Loe is Bob Uecker—he can now be the hardest rooter for the new “Kammie” to make the team.

Let me clarify
I’m not personally attracted to Misty May in any way, whatsoever.

perhaps you are looking at her from the wrong angle
try from behind. That works well

hell, her lower body looks mannish, too.

seriously guys, complain all you want. I know there is very little in my day to day life that compares to staring at misty may. Just saying.

I do.
She works in a bikini on national TV. If any other athlete’s wife did that, everybody would be going gaga over her, too.

it's for those who find athletes more attractive than models
that’s all I can say.
(Most attractive Brewers catcher on the 40-man or with an NRI: Kottaras, Zaun, Salome, or Treanor? GO….)
Kottaras

Thanks Weekend Dad!
So, did the cheereladers do the beating-up, or was a male cheerleader beaten up by two basketball players?
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
2 female basketball players beat up a male cheerleader.

Loe and Wilson
I remember reading that article in SI when it came out (copy in breakroom; wasn’t following baseball then) and my reaction was…umm….your wording up there was intentional, wasn’t it? ^^;;;;
"Had Doug Melvin offered Cameron Arbys..."
…they both could’ve had a nice lunch for twenty bucks or less.
Also, cheese.

yes. The world could use more offering of Arbys

That had to sting
The Packers should have tried to get a couple of more points.
