  1. weird hop on a grounder to SS means they only get 1.
  2. Drew a walk last night too. Are the Brewers [expletive] or is his eye getting better? After watching a few of his other at bats, I'm going with the former. He was swinging at everything about a week ago. He had to make an adjustment. Ramirez is in one of his swing at everything stretches as well.
  3. greinke has 11 k/9 and 1 bb/9, but an ERA around 5.
  4. Fukudome doubled in soto, or make it a triple.
  5. Not if he has serious damage to his arm. He was talking about renowned surgeon, Dr. Richard Peterson.
  6. bat boy is getting reprimanded from the ump (via Quade)
  7. castro smacks a hanging breaking ball for an RBI double scoring Fukudome.
  8. Garza started the game wild high and now gives up a big blast to Braun. 2-0 Brewers
  9. Well, that is only how it pertains to him playing with the Cubs. He can theoretically stick at 1B and be traded to another team after the Cubs sign a real one. But he will really have to show more offensively for a team that wants to win to put him at 1B.
  10. The 40-man roster crunch is one place where the depth over quality gameplan can really bite you. If you have a whole bunch of okay players they better become useful very quickly or else you'll just have to let them go.
  11. There was at least excellent one on the vancouversun's photo gallery.
  12. Well, there are a good number of seats where you can't see the whole field. Everything back up under the grandstand sucks.
  13. That's weird. The crappier the results have gotten the less you dislike Hendry?
  14. Nothing but class in Vancouver
  15. I don't think you can list 3B as a likely upgrade, nor expect it to be easy to upgrade it.
  16. I disagree with most of your plan. First off, reducing the season to 144 games is a non-starter. That would be a huge cut to revenue, and just pointless. Second, going from 8 to 12 teams in the playoffs is not "increasing slightly". That is a very big jump. Lastly, I see no reason to do away with divisions. It's not about being as certain as possible that you get the 8 or 10 or 12 best teams in the playoffs. You go to 6 5 team divisions. You have one interleague series at all times, which adds nothing to the current # of games. You add 1 WC team to each league, and those WC teams play each other in a 1 game playoff for the right to face the 1 seed. This maintains interest in as many cities as possible throughout the season, rewards winning your division and having best record in the league. Adds intrigue to the WC chase, because teams won't just want to settle for that. And those 2 1 game playoffs will be huge draws.
  17. I don't think it's foolish to assume they will compete. It would be a huge disappointment if they don't compete. And if they make the same mistakes they've done in the past, they won't compete. They absolutely should, and could contend in 2012. There are no guarantees. But this is an average offense, and the addition of one excellent player at the right position could make this a good offense.
  18. Debt structure, not an issue. No insights into reallignment but it might be interesting. Expenses: We haven't gotten the kind of performance on the field that we were expecting. We are disappointed. Still have 94 games left and optimistic. investing in Arizona, DR Haven't played well, gave some games away, had some injuries. Respectfully disagree with Gammons calling this a dump. However, we knew we have to have a plan to have this place around for another 50 years. It's not a dump, just needs some love. Mets situation unfortunate. Incapital My day job is here. My #2 guy there is now my #1 guy, everything is fine. Excited about Milwaukee and Yankees.
  19. Ricketts interview coming up on CNBC.
