So it's been awhile and since I've last wasted your time and mine the Cardinals didn't rape the free agent market and the Cubs were far from 1st place.
Basically the Brewers need to decide, and soon, if Corey Hart, and JJ Hardy will become stars like once thought three years ago, or continue to put up less than average numbers at the plate while providing good defense and frustrating shimmers of plate competency.
It's already been told to us that Alcides Escobar and Mat Gamel are both untouchable in trades, but what about Hardy and Hart? We're going to be parting with JJ sooner or later because he's not willingly moving to 3rd and if Escobar is the next coming of Ozzie Smith, guess what? JJ's isn't playing shortstop anymore. I just don't want to see another Tony Gwynn Jr. situation where we trade him for Jody Geirut and hopefully a reach around while Doug Melvin was being raped by Kevin Towers (Padres GM, I had to look it up). It's apparent that the playoffs this year are gone unless something major happens, AKA Halladay being 2009's CC, which seams possible but unlikely. Halladay has another year, just like Peavy would, but it is apparent that neither will be signed by the Brewers when the payday comes in 2011. Cliff Lee is a possibility that has a club option for only 9 million next year. Lee probably has a high asking price, but I'm sure it's significantly less than Peavy and Halladay.
I had a chance to watch Angels and Demons and thought it was a pretty decent movie. Tom Hanks running around finding random symbols and acting like a Harvard genius who enjoys the finest wines and his own stench. Too many ridiculous reaches that make no sense, but it was decent enough to hold your attention and mildly surprise you, I just didn't care enough to notice.
Anybody care to mention that the Brewers are in utter freefall right now? The 3rd worst ERA in the league is not a source of great pride. Every aspect of the team is sucking dick, so pointing fingers is kind of pointless. Felipe Lopez was a really good free agent pick-up, but he isn't going to single-handedly make the rest of the Brewers stop flailing at outside breaking balls in the dirt.
Thinking it's time to stop buying the nephews who live in MN and IL respectively Brewers clothing so they won't have to live in shame like I'm destined to. How sad is it that best case scenario according to short bus aficionado Davey Nelson is that Villanueva goes 4 innings? Four fucking innings? This isn't the Little League World Series, throw him until his fucking arm falls off and ship him to AAA for some other random who can at least throw the ball over 90 MPH. Josh Willingham can drift right back into obscurity and never hit 2 home runs in the same game again.
