@Rockhead,
On paper at least, after the 6th inning they've got a Murderers' Row.

@jespah,

@Region Philbis,
OK...

the sawx activated Billy, and cut brad.

last week they shattered the dreams of mr Smoltzie. (who is now a cardinal, btw)

how many millions of $$$ have they just flat cut this year??? (so far)

my guess is about the equivalent of the Royals payroll. (or mebbe the baby pirates)

@Rockhead,

"shattered"?

we're talking about a big market team that tries to be competitive every year.

for whatever reason smoltz pitched like crap in 7 out of 8 starts.
it appeared to be more mental than physical.
they didn't dump him sooner out of respect, i thought.

staying with the results-oriented theme, penny got it bcos he's pitched like crap since late june...

(smoltzie, that is)



you guys still spend good money for bad pitching almost as good as noo york...

I don't think we'll go any harder than we need to in order to get the wild card.

@George,
the Angels just got better.

I like Kazmir, he is a smart pitcher, and the same age as Lincecum and Cain.

I've got about five months to ponder which starting pitchers the Brewers can snag for J.J. Hardy and Corey Hart. I trust Doug Melvin isn't stupid enough to trade Prince Fielder for any of the pieces of **** available. Though I do hope some pieces of **** are in fact acquired to solidify a rotation otherwise comprised of diarrhea.

I'm excited about next year's infield--Gamel, Escobar, Weeks, Fielder--though it will take a few seasons (damnit) to develop.

But anyway, them Green Bay Packers is lookin' pretty good, huh?

@Region Philbis,
Oh, but y'all should check out this video to fully understand the picture Reg posted: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090906&content_id=6823408&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

Awesome. It's nice to see that, even if I can't enjoy the rest of the Brewer's season, the boys themselves can.

I think Fielder may want to invest in one of those new-super helmets to help protect his bowling ball-like noggin next time he plays the Giants.
