Parra to have surgery (along with Counsell, Looper, McGehee)

" Parra will undergo what a club official stressed was a routine surgery Tuesday to clean up the AC joint in his left shoulder. The procedure has been planned for some time, and the injury did not prevent Parra from making his final starts of the season. "

Pags needs your help: FDM name

PagsBrewCrew — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:27:14 -0000

So...I'm considering blogging for this FireDougMelvin thing, because apparently my week isn't filled up enough with my quota of irrelevant bullshit. In any case, I would like my blogging name to have some meaning beyond what my brewcrewball one does, which was simply decided because I had played a game with my character name "Pags" back in the day, but that one was already claimed on cbssportsline.com, which I discovered before BCB. So...since I was a fan of the BrewCrew, I became PagsBrewCrew. Pretty lame. But that lameness is exactly why I need your help.

So, I would like to have a brand new nickname for picking apart Doug Melvin, because he should be viewed as sucking more than my nickname. This is all assuming my ideas don't suck worse than his. But without further ado (because I'm likely past the minimum word limit now) here are the options.

Deputy Braun (suggested by Fatter than Joey) - Ryan Braun and Doug Melvin had a disagreement earlier this year, at the end of which Melvin said "I'll be glad to have Ryan help if he wants to. I'll give him a badge and he can be my deputy."

I Shot the Sheriff (mine) - FtJ and I were thinking along similar wavelengths here. If Braun is the Deputy, that makes Melvin the Sheriff. And we want the Sheriff to be gone, evoking imagery of the reggae hit "I shot the sheriff" performed by Bob Marley and Eric Clapton, among others

Gord's Melon (suggested by TheJay) - Gord Ash is a potential GM-in-waiting. We don't know how good he'd be in the big seat though. On the plus side, it also suggests a career alternative to Melvin (he should be a pumpkin or watermelon farmer, because he sucks at this baseball thing)

Game Thread #110: Brewers at Astros (54-55 each)

PagsBrewCrew — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:02:51 -0000

So, the winner of this matchup gets up to .500. Someone pitches against someone else and some of our relievers were used last night. Further, we're sending 8 guys plus a pitcher to bat against Coop's squad.

Hey, at least I created a post:P

Random filler to get the word count up, as I'm too lazy to copy-paste lineups or any other such filth.

Go Brewers Go dammit. Sock some homers. Win one for the gipper.

Jack Z angling to get fired on Day One - FireNedYost.com may have a buyer soon

"SEATTLE - New Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik says recently fired Milwaukee Brewers manager Ned Yost and Seattle interim manager Jim Riggleman are two candidates to be Seattle's new skipper in 2009. "

Some Brewers guy going by CC wins award

Some Brewers guy going by CC wins award

Chris Capuano won the MLB Clutch Performer award

from the title of the article:
CC claims Clutch Performer award
Left-handed hurler dazzled down the stretch for Brewers

because that's the only CC on the brewers that I can think of other than Craig Counsell, and I wouldn't describe him as a hurler other than after the WC clinching victory party! He bats left so maybe it is him afterall.

A position-by-position analysis

PagsBrewCrew — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:58:33 -0000

Well, it's officially the post-season now for the Brewers faithful. As selfish homers, those like me can safely ignore what happens from here on out in the playoffs, as none of those teams include the Brewers (or for that matter, the Cubs).

In any case, I thought I'd get together a Post to sort out where I think we stand as well as to open it up to discussion for other BrewCrewBall'ers.

I'll go through this discussion position-by-position (rather than individual-by-individual).

Who do you think will be back next season? Who do you think we should sign off the free-agent market? Who should we trade away and trade for? Who should we unceremoniously toss by the side of the road, existing contract to be paid and all?

Please reply in the thread under each position.

Coop speaks out about the series in Miller Park vs Cubs

Coop speaks out about the series in Miller Park vs Cubs

From another sbnation blog.
The quotes of CcC (not to be confused with CC or C.C.) quoted don't seem to indicate that he had a problem with Bud's decision, but that's the author's take.

In any case, anyone know what else Cecil may have said?

Philadelphia Phillies at Chicago Cubs (Thurs 8/28/08)

PagsBrewCrew — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 23:59:14 -0000

Cole Hamels (3.20 ERA 11-8) vs Ryan Dempster (2.85 ERA 15-5)

I'd say the Phillies have about a 30% chance of an upset at Chicago, but here's praying for a miracle!

Gametime is 7:05 Central (as in now)

So grab a cheese steak and join them. Or just comment here:)

P.S. Anyone know if this is carried on any of the networks or the "special" channels?
