What is the point? What is the downside?? It seemed more like a rant about… well I am not sure what it was a rant about except maybe that we (Brewers) don’t manufacture runs like the Cardinals. Yeah – because Pujols lays down so many sacrifice bunts….

giving him too much play time at someone else’s expense.

case in point: I flat out won one of those high school nerd competitions (ie one of the following: math, computers, chess, debate), even though I was not, on average, the most solid person at that task. The faculty-advisor person then promoted me to “first team” for the rest of the “season”.

My favorite part was this: “Let’s ignore talent for a second, because I don’t care who is the better player.”

I dunno, maybe the Brewers made the Gerut/Gwynn trade because they were able to get a more talented player in exchange for a less talented one by giving the Padres the “son of a franchise legend” markup.

But no, that explanation can’t be possible, because talent doesn’t matter. The only thing that does is old-school scrappiness.

is that people without talent or any semblance of a valid argument can post whatever they want… But we ignore talent don’t we?

. . . is a stupid one, but it is that the quality of players on the Brewers cycle list went down. Of course, the quality of the players on the list of pitchers with perfect games may have gone down recently, too, but that is equally stupid and irrelevant.

The upside is that the team we got Gerut from still has no cycles in franchise history.

Do the Brewers still give a Harley to guys who hit for the cycle? Or is that only at home games? Anyways, that would be another upside.

Very cool, but reliant on a lot of luck, even if you’re quick and slug .650 getting a cycle is pretty rare

Not to take away from what Jody did but I think it’s more of a cool thing for a fan rather than actually meaning anything, and if it will erase Moeller’s name from Brewers trivia for a while all the more power to him

anyone else think it odd that the dude doesn’t appear to to have logged back in here to check the status of the comments here on this site about his link?
