"It doesn't matter what country someone's from, or what they look like, or the color of their skin. It doesn't matter what they smell like, or that they spell words slightly differently some would say more correctly. I'm a person. Bret's a person. You're a person. That person over there is a person. And each person deserves to be treated like a person. "

I stuck w/ the Brewers announcers unless I use the laptop.
YUCK!!
(Even though I am a life long Packer fan, and I have spent a lot of time in Wisconsin I detest everything about the classless Brewers.)

Bob says "you don't need a right fielder tonight"
because the wind is howling at 15 mph from the lake. Should’ve played Fox then…
The collective giggle at Wrigley last night...
…when Corey came to bat was pretty funny.
"Pounding sand since 1982...."
That only matched the collective wince when Miles came up to bat.

This team has no room for error
Harden sits. We have 19 games left, who cares about innings. If we score, have Gorzo up. If it is still 5 – 0 bad guys, let Patton clean up. Only my opinion.

Lou's a frickin' genius
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
putting him lower in the order
puts too much pressure on him and changes the way he approaches at-bats. I’m not too happy with that situation, but if that’s the case move him back to #2!!!
Lou's philosophy
fix whats working and leave the problems.
