Sounded Irish, but his name looked Greek or Lithuanian maybe…

Don't you just hope he stinks it up.
I was lurking in the Brewers’ blog this morning, and a couple of them were discussing the fact that, if the NL wins the All-Star game, and a game 7 is needed in the World Series, it would be in Miller Park.
What are they smoking?

Twinkie power!
Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue.

Carlos should give a seminar in dugout temper fits.
Think about it. He’s destroyed Michael Barrett AND a water cooler.
Here in Denver, Troy Tulowitizki smashed a bat against the dugout wall, it shattered, and cut his arm putting him on the DL.

Coupla Things
1) Infielders should play the infield, and outfielders should play the outfield.
2) Kinda hoping Marquis-for-Maddux goes through, only because maybe guys like Dempster would learn from the master and not throw so many pitches.
