The Brewers took Callix Crabbe back after the Padres decided not to keep the Rule 5 pick on their roster. Punsters rejoice.

Jackson up, Stetter down.

Must...save...overworked...bullpen!

It turns out that Mark DiFelice's lifelong dream will be realized ... at Fenway Park, against one of the best offenses the game has ever seen.

Welcome to the big leagues, buddy!

From the JS Blog:

The Brewers are calling it an eight-year deal, including 2008. It's actually a seven-year extension because he was signed for this year for $455,000. We'll see if he got that money reworked as well.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hopefully the organization banned him from going to see the new Harold and Kumar movie.

As dixie mentioned in the game thread, Cappy finally realized he needs elbow surgery, just as Gord Ash has been implying he would all along. See you next year, dude.

Well, this is pretty hilarious. As the entire Internet has already pointed out, not only is Felix Pie, despite his offensive struggles, hitting better than Jim Edmonds, he's a much superior fielder. It's hard to think of a better situation to let Pie grow as a hitter than on this Cubs team, which is getting enough offense out of the 1-7 spots to support a complete offensive cipher who plays excellent D, if that's all Pie turns out to be. Just idiotic.
