    If they manage to split a 3 game series, color me impressed. It's really quite simple Keener. Cards win the first game, Brewers win the second and then they tie the third after the game goes to the 30th inning and both turns burn out their entire pitching staffs. :D I would take two or three 15 inning slugfests up there in Milwaukee this week.

    http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/commishs-hot-stove/commishs-hot-stove/2009/07/derosa-headed-to-dl/ At least we don't have to listen to the mixed chorus of cheers and a few boos this weekend. If I were in attendance I would do neither. I still like him but now he's a Cardinal. Also, it would suck if he had some big hits.

    I think this is being blown out of proportion by Melvin. He shouldn't go on a rant to reporters mentioning past incidents. I find it funny that this thread started when Melvin commented and not when Braun's initial comments came out.

    Imagine this: Cubs sweep Brewers Reds sweep Cardinals Astros sweep Giants Pirates sweep Marlins Reds - Cubs 0.5 Brewers 1 Cardinals 1 Astros 1 Pirates 3 Or Vice Versa Brewers - Cardinals - Reds 5 Cubs 5.5 Astros 6 Pirates 9 Obviously neither scenario will happen, but this is a big weekend for sure.

    Clay Zavada in for the bottom of the 10th. http://www.rockiescast.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/clay-zavada.jpg Looks like this guy. http://www.sportslogos.net/images/logos/54/56/full/2968.gif

    Reds just tied it in the bottom of the 9th. These MLB.com announcers are BRUTAL. On a double play chance where the second baseman dropped the ball on the exchange the announcer said, "I guess he held onto it long enough." Earlier in the game on a bunt by Willy Taveras that hit him on the right foot clearly out of the batter's box with his left foot still in the batter's box the umpire called him out (as he should). The announcers were claiming he shouldn't be out because he still had one foot in the box. Look at this line: R H E DBacks 2 4 0 Reds 2 11 0

    I'm still fuming about this. I don't even want to watch baseball for the rest of the year. I know it's June and everything that could go wrong has gone wrong outside of a plane crash killing the whole team, but I just can't see this team actually turning it around. I think they really are a .500 team.

    I always liked the phrase "roughly smooth" that my fluid dynamics professor would use. Meaning, we're going to assume laminar flow and a smooth surface even though there is some friction on the surface. Therefore it is "roughly smooth."

    I'm still waiting for this team to start hitting. Still waiting.

    Unfortunately. I was hoping that Sunday would be the day (where I'm taking my father, father-in-law, and my grandpa) that he would be pitching. Although, Meche is pitching that day, I would still perfer Greinke. But then, Meche is a better option than Davies and Bannister. I just hope that 130+ pitches won't come back and bite Meche, come Sunday. It's just amazing the number of aces they have missed this year. It's getting really, really old.

    I said this about Sosa about a week ago. I was wrong. There are still some big names on there and I don't think I'll be surprised to hear just about any names if the full list does ever come out. You have to remember that the people who did leak Sosa's and ARod's names did so illegally. We may never see the other 102.

    I think this idea could be developed and considering it only happens every 4 years I would much rather this happen than the WBC which hijacks the spring training of a lot of stars. I still don't really like it though. You can't force a sports popularity on the rest of the world or international baseball on Americans who already have their rivalries and pennant races.

    Agreed. You can't just turn off MLB for five days while the teams are still playing, especially in August. Of course, by then I'm sure you could pay the low cost of $39.99 and get MLB.tv for those five days, or something stupid like that.

    Super Bowl XXXI - Green Bay Packers EDIT: I should point out that I was only 8 at the time and I didn't really start following the NFL until that year and so it pretty much doesn't count. At the age of 8 I knew all the Cubs and half of their AAA team. I would have counted them, but not really the Packers. Oh, 2007 sucked. Cubs, Mizzou football, Packers.

    http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090615&content_id=5338296&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb I don't like this very much. I would take it if it meant they get rid of the WBC though (they won't).

    What day does that one fall on? I have tickets to pretty much every game next week. Wednesday. And it's buck night too. Dangit thats the one night I don't have tickets to and have commited to doing something with one of my married friends. Might have to bail. It's the Summer of '69 night where all the outfield 1st deck seats are $6. Of course they're all gone unless you want singles. Some people are selling them for cheap on StubHub and eBay though. I got some pretty good ones for $13 each on StubHub. Section 215.

    I don't think that's it at all. He's trying to spark a very talented team that, to this point, has underachieved dramatically. I don't agree with his method, but I understand the reason behind it. His offseason moves didn't make the team this bad, it's still far more talented than the product we've seen on the field thus far. Oh, I certainly agree that this team is playing a lot worse than they should be and that shouldn't be blamed on Hendry. However, in general his moves have not panned out to this point and firing Perry, the guy who ushered in the patient approaches, makes absolutely no sense to me. I just got from one of his quotes that he was pointing the finger.

    It seems to me that this is all about Hendry pointing the finger elsewhere for his offseason moves not panning out.
