Suppan makes it hard to hate him

WSB Chris — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:02:25 -0000

As much as I love to bash Jeff Suppan for his on field performance he keeps showing he is a very good guy off the field

Why do guys like Suppan and Gagne do stuff like this it makes it hard to wish for their deaths when they gack up a game ;) lol

I guess it is nice that he is giving something back I wonder if Barry Zito does stuff like this since his theft makes Suppan seem like a minor thief ;)

So will Cam be forced to sit for any games

WSB Chris — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 15:33:09 -0000

I was listening to the game last night so did not see the play but Radio guys said Cam bumped the ump when he was ejected. Didn't that cost Big Zero 6 games?

I have not read anything about this this morning just wondering how fast MLB could rule on this and do you think he will get 6 games off?

I do not care for Cam much but right now I do not want to mess with what is working so would not want to see him sit for almost a week.

Who used to treat the Brewers like the Crew treats the Pirates

WSB Chris — Wed, 06 May 2009 15:17:33 -0000

I was trying to remember if anyone had ever owned the Brewers like they currently own the Pirates at this moment in time. I mean we are reaching level where the Crew is treating the Bucs like a prison snitch in a prison riot.

First team that jumps to my mind is the Braves. It seems like there was a stretch where the crew was just their bitch. No 17 game streak but not too many wins for a long while.

Any other teams jump to mind?

Some News on the Sirius XM and MLB Front

And it is not good news if you are a Sirius subscriber.

MLB will not be added to the best of XM package to get MLB as a Sirius subscriber you need to wait for it ........ Buy a whole new fraking radio and change your subscription to something called Sirius XM all in one

For someone like me who has a Sporster 5 which I use in both my car and my home with the add on boom box I am looking at over $350 dollars to upgrade.

Frak that I can get MLB radio through my Iphone with the MLB App so I will not be able to use the Sat to listen to Brewers games when I am up North at my cabin(no cell signal so Iphone and app option are a no go) I will survive the Bar in Hawkins has a dish I can watch the game there if I need to or at least catch the score since there is cell service there :)

I think MLB and Sirius XM are shooting themselves in the foot here by not just adding it to their best of XM package

I mean this new radio would be great if I was not already a current subscriber who has already bought a radio car kit and boom box from them.

Like I said they are leaving a good size group of baseball fans out in the cold with this.

A Brewers bottom line question

WSB Chris — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:25:27 -0000

Right before the playoffs there was talk in some quarters that if the Brewers did not make the playoffs they would come up about 10 million short.

Since they made the playoffs how did that effect getting back to even or even into the black?

I know they said when they got CC it might put them into the red but does hitting 3 million in attendence and making the playoffs counter that.

Not looking forward must wondering if they lost money this year.
