Damn You, Jack Z!
The Mariners (led by our ex-draft wiz) just signed Russell Branyan to a one-year deal.
Does this mean we're committing to a Gamel/Hall platoon at third?
EDIT - Deal is for one year, worth $1.4 million with an additional $500k in incentives available.
Our First Free Agent Move of the Offseason
... didn't do anything to address the OBP situation.
Brian Anderson says he signed a five-year extension as PBP guy, and mentions that the Rock has also signed a multi-year deal (but not five?). Perhaps being stiff-armed by TBS hurt Rock's bargaining power. I question this move anyway: Rock's PECOTA projections suggest he will continue to flat-line.

"If anybody needs a day off, it's Ned Yost. He has a lot of things to sort out before he can take a team to the playoffs. He can't be wound this tight and still manage. His players will kill him. I've come close myself. But I like him. He's a little easier to take when you know why he's like he is. The man cannot relax. Pardon my French, but Ned is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond."

Anyone know the provenance of this logo? I hadn't seen it before. (But maybe that's just because I'm not all that old.)

The Brewers' Newest Slogan, Courtesy of The Prince
by MooseHaas
on Aug 5, 2008 8:19 AM PDT
Nedgar, I'm sorry: If my neighbors have a fight, I'm totally going to go outside and watch them. Especially if one of them is acting like a rabid (leaf-eating) grizzly bear.
The best information we have, on the morning after, is that Prince took umbrage with Parra's desire to retreat to the clubhouse after being pulled in the top of the 7th. According to the beat blog, the big fellah yelled, "We stayed out there and watched your sh*t. You can stay out here and watch our sh*t."
Yost would like to sweep this under the rug, but I think it has legs as a slogan. For example, what if we as fans had been able to use it during the Cubs series last week?
Brewers: (Trying to slink into clubhouse quietly after latest arse-kicking)
Brewers fans: We're going to try to salvage the night by playing some horribly long, drunken games of cornhole in the parking lot. We may sink bags at a 5 percent rate. Prince, Manny, etc, we'd appreciate spectators. "We stayed out there and watched your sh*t. You can stay out here and watch our sh*t."
Or what if we were able to use it after a classic Yosting against the Astros?
Ned: (Is saying in postgame press conference that his starting pitcher -- who gave up a deflating late homer -- was "one pitch away," did not look fatigued or appear to be struggling despite being in the midst of an absolutely horrendous inning. Goes on to say it was irrelevant that he had a well-rested bullpen at his disposal, and irrelevant that the home-run hitter already had one homer in the game.)
Fans: Hey, uh, Ned, we're going to need you to watch something before you go home. It's in a port-o-potty, in one of the outer lots.
Ned: Why is the door open to this thing? It smells horrible. And who said that guy could make my dugout face? That's my dugout face!
Fan in port-o-potty: "We stayed out there and watched your sh*t. You can stay out here and watch our sh*t."
