Around SBN: The Worst Season of Francisco Rodriguez's Career Bar-right-arrows



Housecleaning linkage

I haven't done a catchall thread in a while, and my bookmarks folder is the worse for it.  Here goes...

  • Baseball America's top 100 prospects includes Yovani Gallardo (#16), Ryan Braun (#26), and Will Inman (#91).  Since the first two of those ought to graduate by year's end, we need another guy or two to step up and claim the mantle of "Brewers farmhand who will be on everybody's prospect list."

  • Speaking of the minors, here's the MILB official site's organizational preview.  Lots of interesting stuff about the second-tier prospects you don't often hear much about.

  • David Bell's a user.  He claims the HGH was for a prescription, but...come on, dude.  Not buyin' it.  This, in addition to the fact that Bell isn't very good, may explain why he's not on the Brewers radar as a short-term Koskie replacement.

  • And finally, SportsBlogs Nation has gotten a Packers blog, Acme Packing Company.  Looks great so far; check 'em out and say hi.
It's a split squad day, so there are two games this afternoon, which means both Dave Bush and Carlos Villanueva are starting.  One of them is webcasted, and the action starts at 2:05 CT.

Prospect lists
Rotoworld published their list recently, too. I'm going to gather up a bunch of them soon and try to synthesize them.

The Brewers play there first game on tv this sat. for all of you who get FSN. Just thought i would let everyone know, the free audio web cast are great, but its awsome to watch them too.

If you're lucky
On Time Warner's HD package, FSN has an HD channel, which means subscribers with HDTV will see the Cream City Crushers try to not do too much with it in HD.  I'll have to see if that includes the preseason games too.

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!

Was it a hit?
  • Yes. Hey you kids, get off my one-hitter!
  • No, and it should be changed. Even the Pirates fans, all twelve of them, thought so.
  • No, but it's too late to fix the glaring mistake now, unless...hey, we could pretend Sarah Palin gave up the hit!
