  1. Because we're outplaying the Brewers enough where we should be winning. Sabathia has not been good tonight.
  2. Man, I really did not anticipate Lilly doing this well against a lineup that crushes LHP.
  3. Could just call him 63 career OPS+ Ronny if that is a better nickname. I'd have no problem with that. You wanna argue that Ronny isn't a good ballplayer, have at it, Lord knows you've got the major league #s to back it up. If Ronny was truly as untalented as some want to believe, AND was some Ned Yost-like buffoon when it came to intelligence; He'd be a Tony Pena Jr. hitter with Jack Cust level defense. I just really don't understand why things need to be made up about Ronny, when you can simply say something simple like he hasn't hit at the major league level, and other than a ~2 month stretch, he doesn't look like he has an approach that's conducive to becoming one. Here's my deal: while I don't argue that you might have a point about Cedeno getting somewhat of a bad rap defensively compared to a guy like Theriot (I haven't run the numbers mind you), I also believe strongly that if Ronny would post some kind of major league-level numbers at the plate he'd get more leeway. It might not be right, I'll acknowledge that. But Ronny's got to give this team something to hang its hat on at some point. Ronny's a backup SS with a good glove OPS+ing 86. A backup SS with a good glove with better offensive #s isn't a backup SS. Haha @ Ronny having a gold glove.
  4. And the first lucky break of the series goes to the Brew Crew.
  5. Its basically who DeRosa and always has been. Yeah, except for the past 2 and a half years.
  6. Seriously, you can't let Braun beat you. Fielder has terrible lefty splits. Put Braun on.
  7. God, Cedeno is absolutely terrible. I'm done with that guy.
  8. Man, it would be HUGE if Soriano went on one of his patented tears during this 4 game set.
  9. Prince Fielder is also really good. I dunno if I liked that move. Braun vs LHP in 2008- .315/.368/.565 Fielder vs LHP in 2008- .224 /.303/.440
  10. Sabathia does not look good at all so far. Everything is up.
  11. Lou putting Johnson over Theriot in the 2-hole already costing the Cubs..
