There are still a lot of Cubs fans out there; usually they are the children of other Cubs fans. Those Northsider families are gearing-up for Spring Training this month. They first see the Brewers on Feb 26th, then March 7th. Get pumped! Special thanks to Sexy People.

Yankees: Recession? What Recession?!
Posted in baseball, joe, tagged Money, Prince, Teixeira, Yankees on December 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I guess we’ll find out in October of 2009 if adding almost half a billion dollars in players ($423,500,000 to be exact) can buy the World Series. By adding Mark Teixeira (along with CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett this off-season), the Yankees now have four of MLB’s highest paid players on their payroll. Wow…no wonder [...]

Good day, ATS faithful. Hope you are having as wonderful a Friday morning as I am. I’m riding high on the Sawx win from last night, I had an early and easy rise out of bed this morning, grabbed a dozen Krispy Kremes for the office (there are 2 of us here) and found the [...]
Incredible, Going to Tampa

by joe steve: sawx are alright with meAs soon as Papi hit that 3-run bomb last night I knew it was game-on. Cue a Balfour/Wheeler meltdown thanks to Pedroia, Papi and JD Drew, toss in a few 2-out hits and a costly error and we have game 6 in Tampa. Funny that two ex-Brewers had [...]
Baseball Quotes are Fun

By Joe Steve: He’s still pitching/alive?Saw this quote today on Jeff Passan’s Yahoo! MLB post. Kent Mercker is my new hero (for a few days at least). “I’m starting my new profession – turning vodka into urine.” – Reds pitcher Kent Mercker, who, in spite of being nowhere near the pennant race, deserves acknowledgment for [...]

All that in only 8 pitches

I was following the Brewer game on MLB Gameday at work today and didn’t feel too good about Parra’s performance. Lucky for me, work got in the way of the 8th inning and I didn’t get to see what unraveled until it was almost over. In a span of 8 pitches (8!), Gagne was able [...]
Draft Day
Posted in baseball, joe on June 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
With 6 picks among the first 62 players in this year’s MLB draft going to the Brewers and with the 2007 Baseball America Executive of the Year Jack Zduriencik at the helm, there is reason for Brewer fans to be at least a little bit excited about the draft. It is difficult to know what [...]
Numbers of Note

With the Cubs rolling and the Crew doing the same but seemingly not making up any distance between the two teams, figured I’d take a look at some things. Here goes: Chicago (and Saint Louis) have both played 34 games at home, most in the NL. The Brewers have played only 29. Naturally, getting the [...]
