Brewers to make a "serious" offer for CC Sabathia

I know, I know, more Brewers talk.  However, this is a big deal.  I figured the Brewers could make a competitive offer, but still lose out by a good $10m, but this gives a bit of hope.

Sveum Out – Melvin Back

Brewer’s interim manager Dale Sveum is officially out of the running for the Brewer’s 2009 manager position.  Seems Jim Skaalen, the hitting coach, is also out.  I guess his method of “swing as hard as you can every pitch” wasn’t working.  Meanwhile, GM Doug Melvin has signed a 3-year extension.

Now Melvin has to find an experienced . . . → Read More: Sveum Out – Melvin Back

How does Corey Hart suck? Let me count the ways…

He’s screwed up numerous times in the post-season… in game 3 I’ve already seen two bad outs with runners on (a strikeout and bad baserunning move).  He had the horrible double play that killed our chances in the 1st inning of game 2.  He struck out to end a potential rally at the end of game . . . → Read More: How does Corey Hart suck?

Brewers-Reds Game 1 – Does anyone care?

You can tell the network interest in the first game of the NLDS matchup between the Brewers and Phillies by the TV slot.  3PM EST on a Wednesday.  Thanks MLB.  The Brewers haven’t seen the playoffs in the entire lifespan of many of their fans and yet, those of us with jobs (you know, the ones . . . → Read More: Brewers-Reds Game 1 – Does anyone care?

Braun/Sabathia = team co-MVPs

Both guys were amazing all year, but there is simply no topping what they did today.  Game winning home run for Braun and another complete game win for CC.  Longest post-season drout in major pro sports . . . → Read More: Braun/Sabathia = team co-MVPs

Brewers make changes in process, not end result

So I hesitated to jump on board with the millions of other journalists and bloggers talking about Ned Yost being fired.  Why?  What could I say that they haven’t.  Now that the Brewers have officially moved away from Yost and played (and lost) their first game without him, I feel I should add a little perspective.

First, . . . → Read More: Brewers make changes in process, not end result

Busy weekend!

Friday 8/22:
Brewer game!  I love Friday night baseball.  Something about the atmosphere just makes it so much more fun.  I think it’s something about everyone finally getting out of work after a long week and just letting go and enjoying the game.  Brewers played the Pirates.  We had great seats, it was a fun game and . . . → Read More: Busy weekend!

Prince Fielder does his best Steve Smith impression, Brewers lose again

More bad pitching, selfish offense that won’t just move runners over, and another Brewer loss.  This one was nicely capped off with Prince Fielder shoving Manny Parra after Parra gave up 6 runs in 2 innings.  Way to . . . → Read More: Prince Fielder does his best Steve Smith impression, Brewers lose again

Sabathia making Brewers history?

Well, maybe recent history.  As of a few moments ago, Sabathia threw his third complete game as a Brewer (in 4 starts, not to mention, it was his 3rd IN A ROW).

For the record, the most complete games in a season by a Brewer pitcher in the last 20 years was by Jaime Navarro in ’91.  . . . → Read More: Sabathia making Brewers history?

C.C. Sabathia Expected to Start for Brewers Tuesday, 7/8/08

Sadly, I won’t be at the game.  I’m not even going to look at what ticket prices have jumped to in the last 24 hours.  It will be pretty amazing to see a Milwaukee game likely sell out, on a Tuesday against the Rockies.

I will definitely be watching the game though, cannot wait to see how . . . → Read More: C.C. Sabathia Expected to Start for Brewers Tuesday, 7/8/08
