The Goat forgave us long ago. I asked him 8-) Now we're living on the curse of dunkin' donuts Hendry and 1950's stats analysis. I can't immediately criticize Canning, he was part of the ownership group that emphasized building the minor league system for Milwaukee. Look what it's done. Christ they bring up some guy like Braun as an afterthought and he hits better than anything we've seen from Iowa in 20 years. We could use that kind of fresh attitude around here. I'll definitely be reserving judgement on this guy for now. For the record, though I'm with Vance -- I'd still like to see Cuban. Hope against hope, I'll hold out until the end.

He's one of several opposing players that has expressed dislike of some aspect of the stadium. I don't get why this is such a big deal. Maybe the visitors locker room smells like crap. I have no idea. And if it does and some player doesn't like it, why can't they say so. How is it disrespectful? I realize that Wrigely, to Cubs fans and some other baseball fans, is a place worthy of honor and respect. But for many people, it's just a stadium. And if they think it stinks, big deal. I think there's a strong possibility it's the visitor's locker room. I've never been in there, but I've heard more than once that it's amazingly bad. I doubt Ichiro was walking around finding bathrooms in the concourse before or after the game. He probably stuck to his hotel room, the bus, and the visitor's locker room. I really don't care what opposing teams think of their accomodations anyway.

For some reason during saturday's game I was thinking that I missed cheering for Kerry Wood. I don't think i'll ever see him pitch again in the majors, but oddly I missed him. Its strange how the focus of this teams talent have both disapeared. Disappeared because of Dusty and his insane clown posse pitching them 140 per start!

LMAO umm I think you forgot to say who was pitching. Greg Maddux enough said Just about every throw by Barret has been there tonight but with Maddux the catcher has no chance. Oh and Barret had a single tonight, I wish we could say that about our own catchers Incredible that someone would say bases are being stolen 'off Barrett' when Maddux is on the mound. Far be it for me to claim Barrett's good at throwing out runners, but yeah -- it's Maddux.

I wouldn't mind it. Gagne '07 G ERA WHIP 28 1.32 .951 Small sample, but still.

Please, fill the internet will all your inanities and swap algorythms with your buddies until the cows come home...but DO NOT confuse yourself with a baseball fan. It is an insult to both the true fan and to the game. A baseball fan does not dishonor the game, or those who actually play it, by attempting to reduce them to silly equations. ummmm.....? It's in the article. Oh, haha. I can see I'm dense today 8-)

Those hackers. :lol:

Great news for the Cubs, as he was also rumored to be a possible acquisition for the Cards and Crew. ESPN 1070 in Madison local report led off with the story -- they're clearly disappointed he's off the market :twisted:

zing!

It does smell a little worse than the newer stadiums, but I don't see how it's that bad.

Let's just get the hell out of here and get to the break. At least the Brewers are sucking on the road right now too.

LOL, this is hilarious.

CRAPMASTERS DELUXE! THANK YOU HOWRY YOU TURD.

With the way Howry's pitching so far, it's all about to become academic.

Relax. Barrett was a good hitting catcher and the pitchers had an ERA of over 5 with him as a catcher, while Blanco/Hill saw an ERA of around 2.00. Besides, they have been winning since they traded Barrett. They have been winning in spite of the catchers terrible offense. Didn't Hill throw one into center that kept that inning alive that turned into the 3 runs for the Pirates, too? Hill's defense is also horrid. We traded away the worst catcher in the division for the worst in the world. We didnt trade Barrett for hill, though. But I agree. Barrett was having a bad year. But he was still hitting far better than Bowen and Hill combined. And, yes, barrett's defense was pretty bad, but Hill and Bowen havent shown they are too much better. I'd wager that Barrett would have thrown out that baserunner today. Actually, he wasnt. I can remember several times when he would whiff at a pitch in the strike zone that the batter didnt swing at. Barretts shorcomings have been obscured by a myriad of other problems though...that and he has always been given the benefit of the doubt by reporters since he has been a stand up guy. I think Barrett was a quality person but a liability as a catcher. see Koyie Hill and Rob Bowen Ditto. For all Barrett's problems I'd still take him and his bat over these career minor-leaguers. Any day.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111

Brother. We really need some 2 out juice from Lee here.

Come on dammit. This could be our last chance.
