Thursday's Plastic Cup o' Suck

Suck suck, suckety suck sucked.  Sucks suck, sucking suck suck suck.  Suck.

The J-S makes the brilliant observation that we're more likely to win in games where our best hitter hits well.  Marty then emerses himself in that logic and rips it to little pieces.

Jim Powell interviewed Corey Hart.  Listen here.

Injuries:

  • John Patterson, who is rehabbing with the Rangers, experienced a setback and has no timetable for a return.
  • Barry Zito isn't hurt, but he gave up only two runs last night, which indicates that something is amiss.
  • Jack Wilson is behind schedule; he won't be back for two more weeks.
  • Yet another setback: Mark Mulder is off his latest rehab assignment.  Cardinals fans rejoice.

Roger Clemens isn't going to have anything to do with the Olympic team.  Or, stated more properly, it isn't going to have anything to do with him.  It's a shame, because according to what turns up in my inbox, there are a lot of interesting drugs to be had in China.

Matt Wise may be about to rejoin the Mets, which might mean that New York will be going with 13 pitchers.

It's a short one, but that's all I've got for today.  Enjoy!

Brew Crew Ball is made with whole grains and contains bits of real grit. It's the perfect dessert for a quarter-century of futility. Serve it ice-cold by itself or over a fresh Yosting. Guaranteed to enhance your sarcasm and sense of irony!

Featured Poll

Poll
Who is the Brewers' top prospect?
  • Brett Lawrie - Cana-DUH!
  • Mat Gamel - A great pure hitter who could potentially play a position of need.
  • Alcides Escobar - The Brewers sorely need his defensive wizardry and contact-hitting approach. He also solves the 3B hole by shifting J.J. over.
  • Jonathan Lucroy - The best catching prospect in the system by virtue of the fact that he can actually catch. His hitting numbers at Brevard are very good on the face of it, but even better after accounting for Space Coast Stadium.
  • Angel Salome - He's leading a Huntsville team that's loaded with prospects in all three slash stats, and he has the tools to be a good defensive catcher.
  • Jeremy Jeffress - The only real pitching prospect in a sea of hitters, Jeffress could potentially ease the pain of losing two aces by blossoming into one himself.
  • Carlos George - Hey, Derek Jeter can't play defense either.
