    I feel a lot better about my statement now that I know badnews disagrees with it.

    I like Mark Grace for the two times a year he pops into the booth and tells a funny story... but he's not very good on a full-time basis. Sutcliffe sucks... badly. I wouldn't mind combining the booths and having Len, Pat, and Ron working both the TV and the radio.

    Andy LaRoche bats right-handed and plays 3B. Butler bats right-handed and is abysmal defensively... though he should end up being a significantly better hitter than that.

    Wait when did Peavy become Johan Santana on a Brawndo/HGH cocktail Good lord, If that's not going to get it done. No one else will be get him either. Short of the Red Sox. But that's besides the point anyways. Shark is not being traded this offseason. Peavy and Santana are the #1 and #2 pitchers in baseball, and it's not even particularly close. And since Peavy is under contract for three years, whereas Santana is under contract for one... well, it's gonna be pretty expensive to pick him up.

    We probably can't do this without Soto... as Marmol + Samardzija + Vitters + Pie is probably only enough to get us to the table. Don't get me wrong, I like Marshall, Castillo, Hoffpauir and their ilk as much as anybody else on this board... but those guys don't get to make up the bulk of a package for a player like Peavy. They're throw-ins at the back end of a deal.

    Unless Lou keeps him from getting on the field, yes.

    I haven't got a chance to read it yet, but I wanted to say that I picked up "My Life in Baseball" as a birthday gift.

    2 years / 15 mil. 10 mil more in incentives, with a vesting option for a 3rd year.

    Lilly, DeRosa, and Wuertz for Beltran, Moviel and cash. Plug Marshall or Samardzija into the rotation, and Fontenot in at 2B.

    I agree completely with this (even if my still-frustrated attitude doesn't). Here's a question though: Assuming Dempster does not return, who do you think we should go after and who do you think we will go after? It may be too early to answer at this point, but I'd like your input if you can. Burnett

    On top of that, it doesn't hurt that the Brewers are going to have to make some major changes just to stay where they are right now in the standings.

    I understand ranting... but let's not pretend there's any logic behind saying "blow the chokers out of town"

    That's what I like to see.

    Great AB by Aramis so far.

    Showering and throwing on my Ramirez road jersey... let's just hope that's enough.

    It'd probably take Soto to get the ball rolling.

    Merge with History thread?

    Pix plz when it comes in full Somehow, it managed to grow in about 3 hours. It's like a playoff eve miracle! http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/kanumber08/Beardfacedamnit.jpg So... based on the disparity in hair color, can we assume you dye your hair?

    As far as the WS is concerned, we could probably get buy with one fewer pitcher thanks to the DH not forcing pitching changes when the bottom of the order comes up. At that point, we could definitely afford to drop Howry or Marquis for Hoffpauir.

    That's what yo momma said last night.

    That depends on the league. ESPN's results got jacked with because of it.
