very good job by randy marsh behind the plate so far...normally i bash the umpires in here, so im gonna give some credit...hes been solid back there
I was hoping Swisher would get the 3-1 call, but I agree, he's been good. He's given Thome some pitches that looked like blatant strikes.

Wow, Mr Positive true to his form
Obviously, the fact that we had no choice at that pont but to re-sign Uribe is lost on an ignoramus like you; the fact that Cabrera was available after Uribe was re-signed; and the fact that Kenny did what he had to do to get OCab; Uribe is a back up IF or a #9 batter with very good D at 2B for us....not the end of the world; unless it is you of course
I just think it's early to start knighting Sir Kenny Williams. Uribe is not a back up infielder though....he's our starting 2nd baseman.

One of these days, people will start to trust Kenny around here
Gavin Floyd, Danks, Swisher, Cabrera, Linebrink, Dotel, Nick Masset, Joe Crede etc etc
Re-signing Uribe

im pretty impressed with guthrie...hes got a good arm and seems like he knows how to pitch
I'm worried he's going to plunk one of our hitters on the wrist.

filthy curve....
lol gary thorne...."miguel tejada hit a HR in a losing effort as he celebrated 2 birthdays today"
How fitting that Carlos Lee and Miguel Tejada hit solo homers in a 10-2 game.

I like that. For you guys that used to pitch...did ya ever have a catcher that for some reason his glove never popped. Whether it was the glove or how he caught it. I threw fairly hard...and it used to piss me off when I knew I was throwing hard and the glove didn't pop.
Oh ya...it was such a confidence boost when the mitt would pop a lot.

is there ever a series where junior doesnt just crush the cubs?
I don't think he's been overly great against them in the past. It's usually Dunn that murders them. Lieber has nothing on his pitches, I'm shocked he's done as well as he has this year.

Also... Paul Bako still has a job? WTF?
When I think of Paul Bako, I think of a soft fly out to Jeff Conine to end the 2003 NLCS. One of the favorite outs of my life.
The Brewers just can't hit right handed pitching so far this year. And if you want to talk about overrated players in baseball, Ryan Freel has to be at the top of the list.
