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?

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.

Try a lower speed feed, that helped yesterday for me.

Too few guys like that anymore (nor, thankfully, at the other extreme, like McClelland).

Replay showed DLee hustling down the line.

Just bad luck that the ball hit the pitcher.

Do you think he’s trying to hurt Lincecum? His single in the first almost took his head off.

Not to take anything away from RJ

but he had the ball well before the runner was at third, and he was in shallow left. Terrible decision to send him home.

The Reed love is a little nauseating as well.

I mean, he made a good throw, but people really think he’s a valuable hitter. He’s OPSing around .699

And he’s made a number of good defensive plays.
