Contrarian viewpoint on the Brewers

They’ve been sucking it up almost as bad as the Cubs. But lets be honest, the Brewers ARE going to make the NL playoffs. Certainly Ned Yost understands that. Maybe it is a case of him trying like hell to get Eric Gagne sorted out given the general lousiness of their bullpen. They need a semi-good Gagne in the playoffs. Might as well invest in getting him going now.

Yep, except....

Howry is done. Cubs have the bullpen depth to leave him off of the playoff roster. The Brewers on the other hand really need Eric Gagne to work out. Their bullpen isn’t going to get them far in the playoffs. Not unless they blow the opponent out or Sabathia, Sheets and Parra pitch complete games.

If Gagne's not showing "done", I'd check that meat thermometer.... it's broken.

There is a character within a character called "Simple Jack"

which essentially is a guy with an intellectual disability, and a complete mockery of “retarded” people. As a special education teacher, I was both offended and could see their reason for making fun of the character – it was a mockery of Forrest Gump, I Am Sam, RainMan, etc. But my colleagues aren’t as understanding, it’s been a big ordeal down here at KU, the #1 ranked SPED program in the country.

And Downey was brilliant.

K well check this out.

Nate Silver, creator of BP…has applied many of the same regression models and a lot of the baseball-like models to politics. My buddy just turned me on to it the other night, and I’ve been spending just about every waking hour reading it. It seems pretty apolitical to me, and gives a good vibe of the pulse of politics.

Just thought it was neat to see some baseball statistics philosophy applied to a different field. Not trying to start a political discussion.

It's interesting, and I think a lot of it's solid.

At the same time, though, it’s really cutting into his work with BP, and they lost most of their other good analysts to teams (Woolner now works for the Indians, Fox for the Pirates). Part of the brain drain at BP.

that Nate didn’t want to close himself off to “only” baseball. I may be wrong.

a Theriot blunder or a Soriano dropped fly ball will be this year’s Steve Bartman. Sure hope the rest of the team is so good they negate both possibilities.

Our Generation's Ray Oyler

Awful hitting (sub .200) SS on the 1968 Tigers. Mickey Stanley was moved from CF to SS for the World Series, and Oyler came on late for defensive purposes. But if Detroit can win a championship with that kind of weak link in the lineup…

The Cubs are 29 games above .500.

The Brewers are 21 games above .500.

Sorry, I worded that incorrectly. The Brewers have to make up eight games on the Cubs, either via Cubs loss or Brewers win.

If the Brewers win eight straight and the Cubs lose eight straight, yeah, then we’d be four back.
