PrintI have a doctor's appointment in a bit, so instead of making you wait all morning for a Mug I don't really have time to write, I've got a quick Mug today. I promise a full return tomorrow.
- Yesterday's loss dropped the Brewer playoff chances to 3.9%.
- Tom H. called the game a low point. Every day seems like a new low point lately.
- Jesus Colome left the game after taking a liner off his hand, but it's just a bruised pinky.
- Sheffield's House did not enjoy Bill Hall's performance.
- Felipe Lopez drew some attention by failing to get to a couple of ground balls, but doesn't appear to be injured.
- Brewer Paradise Lost gives us reasons to expect David Weathers' ERA to rise.
- Nick Green was DFA'd to make room on the roster for him.
- Doug Melvin says J.J. Hardy was never placed on waivers, so forget those rumors.
- The Brewers signed 15th round pick Del Howell. There's only about a week left to sign picks.
- Angel Salome is hitting .306 in AAA since May 1.
- Jonathan Lucroy is the Prospect of the Week over at Between the Green Pillars.
- The THT Dartboard has the Brewers at #17.
- Inside the Majors has them at #18.
- Scouting the Sports has them at #17.
- Cubicle GM has them at 19.

Well at least Cammy went Yard
A little ray of Sunshine in a other wise very dark and stormy night
At this point I will be amazed if they finish the season above .500
The Cult of Cameron Live it Love it never question your love for our Center Fielder.
Greatest Brewers to ever lace them up.
more like a Push
I will be glad when Hall is gone also and I used to be a huge apologist for him but you cannot defend his play anymore.

TGJ showed us exactly what we're missing last night:
Instead of a center fielder who hits homers and takes walks and plays outstanding defense, we could have a guy who bloops duckfart doubles over the head of the shortstop. I mean, it’s not even a fair comparison. How could the Brewers let that guy go?
Speaking of duckfart bloopers..
Playing deep worked really well yesterday……….

We had to respect Eckstein's power.
Speaking of the San Diego Sprite: I was worried when Eckstein was batting that his grit would mix with Kendall’s grit and there’d be a massive GRIT reaction that would rip a hole in the universe. Thank God we’re all still alive.

I hope today will be a scrub lineup
start all the backups.
Rivera at C
Counsell at SS
Hall in RF
Catman in LF
Gerut in CF
Iribarren at 2B
Remember those Yost Sunday lineups?

It's not a white flag so much
as trying to let the team know something has to change

If we could do the same with the pitching staff
I’d be on board.

it's more about punishing the defense

Or we could, you know
fire Castro, send JJ to AAA, and DFA Bill Hall

Corey Hart update
From Rotoworld…
Corey Hart (appendicitis) quit Tuesday’s workout after just eight minutes, explaining that “my body still hurts”

My sister had to have an emergency appendectomy over the weekend
Lemme tell ya, I get sore just watching her try to do things.

RIP Nick Adenhart - Stop Drunk Driving
I'm surprised he's already working out

I think he's afraid of getting fired.
"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!"
My brain finished that sentence with fat instead of fired.

The DL is currently the safest place in the organization, I think
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
If we play
the final six weeks like we have the previous month, I’ll be pretty pissed by the time October gets here. What a wasted opportunity in a relatively weak division.

Angels released Justin Speier
If the Crew wants to pick up yet another cheap, ineffective arm, he can be had for peanuts for the remainder of 2009 and all of 2010, while the Halos pay almost his entire $5M+ salary.
The Rambling One
is pretty high on Speier for his Ks.
