Hey Gone fishin are you a Brewers fan

Hey Gone fishin are you a Brewers fan

Sure am

I am glad that Kenny Williams did not sign Johnny Damon.

the tigers gave him 8 mil

That is high, but if he convinced them he was worth that kind of money more power to him.

I heard Jeter saying he is not going anywhere and does not mind waiting for the team to iniciate contract talks. That is refreshing to see.

Is anyone competing in a fantasy baseball league this year?  Mine doesn't draft for a few more weeks.

Looks like Joe Nathan might be on the shelf for 2010.  While guys are busy drafting Broxton or Rivera, I planned on swooping in and picking up Nathan.

BUMMER!

Despite world series or pennants there appears that apprx 10,000 MLB fans / yr think that there is only one "real" MLB team in Chicago. Even in a World Series winning year. Apparently by their own attendance winning a World Series is over rated?

Attendance                                                            

                      Cubs            Sux

2009             39,610          28,199

2008             40,743          30,877

2007             40,153          33,140

2006             39,040          36,511

2005             38,749          28,923

No one ever said cubs fans are smart. 

  What I was saying was that the Sux fans must think a pennant is no big deal as they didn't seem to show up for the recent one that they one!

  I can hear it now "Hey you guys haven't won a World Series in 100 yeas bla, bla bla " Are you going to go the the games?

"why would we do that?"

" dude I've got an idea lets go punch a base coach"

;D ;D ;D

Wrigley field: worlds largest gay bar.

every major sport team in Chicago has won a championship in my life time EXCEPT ONE! Theres always next century

Pretty typical response from by the Sox fan cab-driver / sanitation worker mentality. ;D

Any Braves fans out there???

I am curious as to your thoughts on Yunel Escobar, and Martin Prado???  I have my fantasy draft tomorrow, and am wondering about their projections for this season.

-Thanks

Only the chubbies.  I'll be sure to list more cubs injuries as they happen this season...heck, we might need a separate sticky just for them.  ;D

Yup.  Sammy 'Steroids?, oh me no speak English' Sosa.

Starting to get the fever...wish I was going to Atlanta Monday.

I've got a cure for that fever, and no, it's not more cowbell...PLAY BALL!!!

As much as I hate the bo sox, I have Beckett on the mound tonight.

All posts are academic.

The Yankees will continue their World Series domination this season.

Sorry I hadnt checked this out earlier.  Prado may be a key to my whole fantasy season.  I think I have him in all but 1 league I am in.   He is solid.  Escobar has his moments but is a good value later in the draft at SS.  Solid player who should see an increase in RBIs batting lower in the lineup.

No sweat.  I stole Yunel way late, but missed out on Prado.  I'm ticked because he is 1B, 2B, and 3B eligible in Yahoo leagues.

Our league expanded a little this year, so to keep a fresh free agent pool, our commish dropped a bench spot or two.  I forgot this would shorten our draft a few rounds, and incorrectly targeted Prado.  I planned on taking him in round 22 or so...turns out we only had 20. 

Thats the good thing for me about Prado.  As long as he doesn't get hurt it will make it much easier to adjust the lineup on the fly with him.

Carpenter??? gave up 3 homers already!

Carpenter??? gave up 3 homers already!

Yup, and after only seven all of last season...if my memory serves me correct.

you are correct, I don't think I have ever seen him pitch to the 5th?

Fielder was ticked, he wants his HOMER!

That's one against the Brew Crew.

Davis really stunk-up the joint.  I hope he was assigned to cleaning the troughs in the mens' room after the game.

Two bombs and five runs to Nady and Baker???  Come on Davis.  We might as well have kept Looper.  :
