They Blew it!

Yeah. Javy never was a great game-caller, from what I've heard. Everything we heard about Blanco up here is that he was one of the better catchers, not exactly at calling a game, but at blocking pitches, being a threat at throwing runners out, etc. And you know in Milwaukee our good ol' pitching staff lets a lot of runners on LOL.

And yeah, who is in the staff this year anyway? Ortiz, Marquis, Maddux, and who is filling in while Byrd and Hampton are down?

And that is cool, hopefully they won't get injured like all of the Brewer pitching prospects do. Ben Sheets is the only one who has made it unscathed so-far. Kyle Peterson blew his shoulder, J.M. Gold blew his elbow, and Nugebauer is injured too. And the fact that they are sitting here steadily trying to pimp Todd Richie makes me sick, he sucks LOL.

no you aren't

You think I can't see the hidden sarcasm there don't you?!  Well I can!

hehehe... okay, I'm rambling again.

none at all... but I'll shut up now and let you all continue with your baseball chat!

[TSE]

ohhhh

Yankeeography is on!!! (Christine is a bit obsessed)
They're doing the Rocket

LOL, nice!

Let's see, the rotation started off so far:

Maddux
Some guy that I can't think of... Ramirez maybe??
Ortiz
Marquis.

Once again, looks like we'll run a four man rotation, and whenever we don't have an off day (our schedule works with us much of the first month) we'll call a good pitcher up to work a game.  Again this year, Marquis doesn't get the respect he deserves.  Jason's a great young prospect...

For the record, my staff would have went like this if I was GM:

Millwood
Hampton
Marquis
Byrd
Ortiz (when no off day)

[B]

Yeah, he is actually pretty good. And I like your rotation, but is Millwood the real deal?

[Katia's Lover]

Yeah, he is actually pretty good. And I like your rotation, but is Millwood the real deal?

Yes, he is.  But what I liked most about him is that we could keep him relatively cheap.  He's gradually improving too... I like him, at least.

Much better than the one ERA point for every million we're spending on Greg.   :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

I'm bitter, can you tell???

[B]

Yes, LOL. But that is okay, bitterness is accepted, and invited in baseball. When you pay 21 million dollars for a guy who is out half of a year for a bruised shoulder, that makes you pretty bitter, or maybe it is just me  :wink: .

That is true, Millwood would have actually been reasonably cheap, and not cost just giant cheddar like Maddux does, LOL.
