Harry Chappas Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Carlos Gomez walks on water against the Sox but against the cub, while I am only watching on line, Esocbar singles and Gomez is out at third.........against he Sox he steals second and scores on the hit. Oh and Soriano with a fielding error Weeks is really turning into the player they thought he would be. The Brewers oughta trade Fielder for pitching if he is really looking for $200m contract.

Balta1701 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm listening to the Brewers broadcast to enjoy Uecker, and I could figure out before he said "Soriano has trouble picking it up" that Soriano was having defensive issues on a double by Weeks...because the boo's started.

Harry Chappas Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 02:38 PM) LOL at Soriano and that contract. They will move him to first next year, be forced to watch Lee leave and they will have the most overpaid .250/.330/.450/.780 hitter in the history of baseball if they are lucky.

Balta1701 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) LOL at Soriano and that contract. Just think...we had him for McCarthy. The only thing that saved us was that he decided he'd rather test the market than sign an extension at the time. We wound up with Danks out of that.

BigSqwert Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I could see them just cutting bait or trading him for a bag of balls while paying 90% of his contract. They have a ton of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Milwaukee's pen is not much better than the cubs though, so it is far from over. For having a great line-up the Brewers have three good hitters and that's it. Their pitching is terrible.

They have a ton of money. I don't think it's as much as many people think, they have a ton of money tied up in bad contracts, the Rickett's had to scramble for money to finalize the deal (remember the story when they were asking local celebrities to pitch in?) and they have Wrigley, which makes money, but is also a lot to keep up. FWIW, Terry Boers, who has been around awhile, reported his sources saying the Cubs won't be opening their checkbooks for big time FAs for a little bit. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying, nor was Boers saying, that the Cubs are going to be a mid payroll team, they'll continue to be up there, but I think some Cubs fans thought with the Ricketts they would jump up to another level, it doesn't seem that will happen right away Edited April 14, 2010 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, the one the Sox are running out today with Jones/Vizquel/Kotsay all in it? With that pitching staff, I still think that lineup could challenge the Cardinals.

Look at the crap in that league. The pitching is absolutely terrible. We would feast on weak breaking balls and the bullpen's crap pitches.

We haven't been facing the likes of Verlander or Greinke yet and we still look like a single A offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
