Where is brewersbrewers? No Street for the Crew

 

Something is up, probably not Street

San Francisco - The Brewers definitely have some kind of trade in the works but I was just told by a club source that it is not for Oakland closer Huston Street (who is pitching badly by the way).

 

I'm still trying to get hold of GM Doug Melvin, who was nowhere to be found after the game. But Brevard County outfielder Darren Ford, a speedster, was pulled from the team's lineup before the game today and word was circulating there that he had been traded.

 

I'll see what I can find out but this might be something that's not announced until tomorrow. Stay tuned.

 

It could be a minor deal

San Francisco - Whatever deal the Brewers are working on, I'm told there is no plan to announce it before tomorrow. And I'm now getting word that it might be with the Giants.

 

If Class A Brevard County centerfielder Darren Ford is the only player involved, it would be a minor deal for either a bench player (Ray Durham?) or a relief pitcher (Jack Taschner?).

 

Ford, 22, is one of the fastest players in the minors. He is batting only .230 at Brevard but has swiped 48 bases in 59 attempts. He stole 67 bases last season while splitting time at Class A West Virginia and Brevard.

 

Hard to say right now if the deal includes more than Ford. He was scratched from the Brevard lineup today with word circulating around that club that he had been traded.

 

I'll follow up later today if I hear anything but this might not break until tomorrow. And it might turn out to be a minor deal. Oakland closer Huston Street blew another save today in New York and I heard the Brewers' scouting reports on him are not good.

 

OWNED

 

I foe'd the dude anyway

Have we ever won a game against Wandy Rodriguez? I feel like every time we see this guy, he owns us.

 

Maybe I'm wrong.

 

We're 3-4 against him lifetime, but I believe he's 3-1 against us in the last 2 years.

I was at that one

[TMan92]

The only thing good about this game is the redhead on the Belvedere commercial. F'd up commercial, but hot girl.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-11 when they trail by 3 runs or more at the end of 6 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Where is brewersbrewers? No Street for the Crew

 

Well of course not.

 

hey guys its looks like the brewers just traded Huston street acorring to jsonline.

 

Didn't you read? They traded him away.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome called out on strikes

[Outshined_One]

Man, Fukudome doesn't get much leeway from the umps.

[illiniguy]

that was not a strike. thanks blue.

[Schwarber Fan]

Inconsistent strike zone

 

nothing new here

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno grounded out to third, 5-3

[BCVM22]

So are the 2008 Astros the equivalent of the 2007 Reds/Pirates, i.e. the bottom-scraping team that plays their best baseball against us?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zambrano homered to right field

[BCVM22]

ZAMBRANOWNED!

 

Big Z says THIS IS HOW WE DO IT, BOYS

[illiniguy]

Should be 3-2. Fuku walked.

[TMan92]

Can we find someone to just take Cedeno. What a waste of a roster spot the guy is. He had like two good weeks.

 

As usual, Z is the only one to hit. Even better Fuku should have been on base.

[Schwarber Fan]

Please make that start a rally

[CubsNSkers07]

That gets me a little excited but kind of odd that Zambrano can hit a home run and we can't scratch any more runs off so far against this Wandy guy....

[Little Slide Rooter]

Someone had to do something. Like I said, he should be hitting 7th with Fukudome and Cedeno in the lineup.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have homered in 10 of their last 11 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!
