Yes, this deal is better than the CC deal IMO. The Brewers either make it to the World Series this year, or face '09 with no CC and no Sheets unless they spend more money than they want to. Even if Harden were to break down, we would still be in the same pitching situation we were always in -- that got us to 54 wins. Plus, Rich can rehab for next year and we come back even stronger in '09. It's a better deal, period. -
Not to get too granular about this (and not to be a pain in the arse), but wont the avg velocity be heavily impacted by pitch mix? Has that been pretty constant? No, it's only looking at fastballs. I'm sure there's a better way, but I did a quick SUMIF divided by COUNTIF based on whether it was a fastball: 7/6 - 92.79 MPH average fastball 7/1 - 90.57 MPH average fastball - There's your point for concern 6/26 - 92.14 MPH average fastball 5/28 - 92.16 MPH average fastball His chart from the 7/1 game: http://brooksbaseball.net/pfx/speed.php?xml=http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/year_2008/month_07/day_01/gid_2008_07_01_oakmlb_anamlb_1//pbp/pitchers/425848.xml&innings=yyyyyyyyy&sp_type=1&s_type=1 I don't see much dropoff at all there. But, given Harden's injury history, of course I'm always going to be a little concerned. Actually, I was just listening to Hendry on Mike & Mike and he was pretty open about realizing that we're taking a risk with Harden. The reward is potentially very high though.

7/8 - CC's first start as a Brewer and other games.

Meh, they had the luckiest month ever last year to get them to the World Series. No doubt. This is the rubber band snapping back. -
Marmol's slider is starting to break better lately.

:rotfl: :rotfl: I love me some Dusty ball.

DAYUM DUDE! Fonty's on freaking fire!!
-
In baseball? Yeah, 19th overall pick in 2001. cRaZy Wow.
-
Demp!! I'm willing to dismiss that inning as a case of getting squeezed.
-
eh whatever I've sorta stopped caring about the other teams in the division with this trade, as long as he's healthy theres absolutely no way we don't make the playoffs * *jinxed them right here I'm saving this post. If you jinxed them I'm hunting you down like a dog. LIKE A DOG!
-
Hurdle's just a guy who caught a hot streak. And now the luck is over.
-
everyone thinks fontenot is terrible b/c he's small and white, but in reality he can probably give you league-average offense for a starter at 2B. One thing I'll say -- I don't worry about turning double plays when he & Theriot are in there. Remember the days when we struggled just to turn DPs? There's your ALL STAR ROOKIE CATCHER in action!! And here comes tooth-pick chewer to pull harang.
-
he was covered in the magical STL pixie dust that turns anyone, even the sh##@iest players into studs while wearing the Uniform. It's quite remarkable. I need some of that pixie dust. I hate them. I should have punched LaRussa out. They're catching most teams at the perfect time -- Phils after losing 3, Red Sox with a bunch of players hurt, etc. However, they really should have been swept by us, and they caught the lowly Royals on a hot streak and got torched. They're also not all that great at home. Methinks their days are numbered. I'm considering only the games we are ahead of the Brewers.

Quick buy some ice!!! Groceries are too damn expensive to waste.
-
Remember when it was "look out Cub fans, Ramirez's defense is going to be a liability!" ? ROFL at those turds.
-
Wow those clouds look mighty angry.
-
This ump is garbage.
-
I wouldn't expect much from the Phils this series, the Cards are catching them at a good time.
-
Hehe, you don't want to ask that question lest you not like the answer, know what I mean?
-
The Phillies are starting to suck lately.
-
I might go even further than that.
-
:x Jesus. And things were looking so good too.

Was on a "Cubs Cruise" on the lake after a cubs-cards game in '01, Kerry was on the deck in the back of the boat signing autographs. I was in line waiting for Kerry to sign a baseball. Then his fiance I believe, Sarah was standing by his side when a bystander from the top deck leaned over and puked all over her. She was not so hot at that moment. How did Kerry react? I wouldn't hold that against Sara. However, if I was Kerry, that guy would need a Medivac helicopter. As a man who has puked off of his share of balconies, you don't always plan to puke off of balconies, and when you do end up puking off of balconies you definitely don't have the wherewithal to check for innocent bystanders. Doesn't matter. It's a matter of principle. Puke on my centerfold wife = paramedics needed. So if your wife was only average looking you'd have let it slide?? Yep. Too bad baby, told you to get that boob job.

The stealing of 3rd base has been a theme this year, just as Lou said it would be. Don't think I like it all that much -- good thing it was ball 4 there.
