Jerry Hairston Jr. signs two year, $6 million deal with Dodgers
If the Brewers decided not to match that, I'm very disappointed.
UPDATE: Hairston told Amy K. Nelson (now of SB Nation) that he's very happy with the deal, and cited being close to home as one of the reasons. So it's possible money was not the deciding factor.

I'm really sad
Like really sad. I honestly thought he could play most of the games at short cheap.
(Verb) you cardinals.
He could have.
Really stupid to let him get away. Even if they get a better shortstop I don’t see them finding a better bench player than Hairston.
I have no concept.
Maybe Hairston decided the Dodgers presented him a better chance to play everyday.
Maybe he’d rather be on the west coast for whatever reason.
If one of those or a variety of other possibilities are the reason he left, then all you can really do is shrug your shoulders.
But if he left because the Dodgers offered him more years or money then there’s reason to be upset, because this really isn’t much money in baseball terms.
Now that's great tasting chicken!
My guess on how some people will feel tonight when they hear this news.

Not sure if he could have covered SS a majority of the time
And I’m not sure if the Brewers gave him a matching offer; but if we end up settling for Yuni and paying that much, someone should lose his job.
Even if we keep Yuni for free
Someone should lose his job

I'm sorry for the strong language, but Yuni can just go to hell.
FanGraphs should consider a venue for a Gallery Night... they could even serve a cake with a Win Expectancy Chart of the 7/7/11 Brewers' game etched in the frosting, and 7-up. Oh, yeah - and t-shirts that say "SABR-Friday." I'm totally there.

I guess from here on out I'll just be waiting on news
for the signing of Aramis and Alex Gonzalez. It can be done. Get on it Doug. I know we need a shortstop but I want that Aramis fellow hitting cleanup.
(Verb) you cardinals.
The way that they are persuing Pujols you have to think
that if he still decides to stay at the Cards then they would then go after Fielder.
It is part of the problem that Fielder and Boras will not want to sign anything until Pujols decides what to do so that they can get top dollar for Prince.
Somebody has to tell Doug Melvin that Prince is not coming back and to get on with the post-season signings because if they keep on waiting for Prince it could be quite some time before they can do anything.
I'm worried that if don't grab a SS now
And the Cardinals lose Pujols, then they will have room to bring Furcal or the next top SS available, thinning the market and potentially driving up cost since the Brewers have no one to step in. That’s the problem with waiting on Prince to make a decision. We wait on Prince, who is waiting on Pujols.

Who says DM is waiting on Fielder before going after a SS?
Pujols is the Barack Obama of baseball.

I for one welcome our new Golden Hands overlord
I said it the day the post season ended for us, Yuni will be back.
Why must you say such hateful things.
Give him an offspeed pitch down and in. He will swing and miss.
Does it make me a bad person...
To be borderline furious by this?
