 I honestly think it's time the Brewers just cut their losses and release Bill Hall...  In all honesty he is probably the 5th best option at 3B for the Brewers..  He's just taking up a roster spot from someone who could contribute..

McGehee, Gamel, Counsell, and Adam Heether whose raking in AAA are all better options at 3B right now.. You won't be able to trade him, so just bit the bullet and release him already..

Hall is versatile. If (God forbid) something happened to Cameron, he could play CF for a long period of time. Not that we'd want him to, but he can also play SS, 2B, or CF. Just too versatile.

Cubs really miss Ramirez. He will make Soriano and Bradley better.. just watch.

 

And how do you know.  Maybe Ramirez won't be the same after the injury.  He may be hurting a bit while playing.  

Again... you are setting yourself up... to if it does happen you can say... "See... told you so".  Otherwise you can be pleasantly surprised.

STOP IT!

I think anytime you miss your clean up hitter, it hurts the other guys in the middle of the order. They don't get as many pitches to hit.

Would you like to bet me that Soriano and Bradley have a better BA/OBP/HR/RBI in the second half?

 

Nah... because you wouldn't bet me a 12-pack that Gwynn Jr would be batting less than .300 at the end of the season.  Oh... I do see that he is down to .301 on the year... and no longer batting lead-off.  In the 8th spot today.  Yikes.

 

His honeymoon is OVER!

 

Actually thats up a few points from .298. He's hitting .333 in July with an OBP of .400.  Who is taking bets whether Gerut bats over .200?

Are you seriously tracking TGJ's batting average on a daily basis? You are a sad, sad man.

Casey hits for the cycle? That would top it all off.

Even if Ramirez didn't come back for the rest of the season, I'm sure Soriano and Bradley would have a better 2nd half.

OT: Pujols up with a chance to tie it with a hr.

When I want to Chicago it wasn't cheap by any means. Not NY expensive, but not cheap. There are a lot of nice things to do.

I actually liked Comiskey - which a lot of people don't.

 

Well, I'll say it is cheaper than New York, L.A., San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, and the Strip part of Vegas. I hear Boston is pretty expensive as well.

 

SF... now there is a fun town.  WOuld live there anyday instead of NY or LA!

I like the Bay Area but not downtown SF... does the sun ever come out?

 

If you are west of 19th avenue... probably not.  Get a bit east toward the Bay (Mission district... North Beach)... and you are okay.  There aren't a lot of foggy games at AT&T this year.  Its in a great location and has been totally revitalized as well. Many expensive condos and a great bar scene.

The area right around the ballpark is nice. Still one of my top three favorite places to see a game (PNC is another).

AT&T definitely in the top 3... amazing views... great atmosphere.  Love the area around the park.

WIll be at Coors at the end of July.  I've always wanted to get there.  

Although everyone thinks Wrigley is a dump... I've had fun going to games there.

Want to get to the Sky Dome and Fenway next year.

Geddy - we won't win this one. For all the smart people we have on this board, they don't get that a guy five years younger, at 1/4 the cost, that hits .100 higher is a better deal.

You should both be used to losing arguments by this point.

Please, keep this to a different thread. hits .100 higher, that's funny, that's like saying since McGehee is hitting .333 he is better than Fielder, and Braun, it's called limited ABs. 

Pujols ground out to end the inning.

 Casey sucks.

The stadiums I still need to see:

 Arlington

Sky Dome

Safeco

Citi Field (been to NY twice when they were home including when the Brewers were there but couldn't go)

Turner Field

Citizens Bank

Nationals Park

Camden Yards

Saw Colorado last year - good - not great. A little big for my taste.

 McGehee hits for the cycle with a double, a double play counts right?

Did you steal that one from Ueck... he said the same exact thing.

"Casey will get a double... a double play... 6-4-3."

That's kind of true, but I still don't see the point of keeping him because there are still better options at those positions..  McGehee and Counsell can both play 2B and are both way better than Hall..

If something would ever happen to JJ, Counsell is a better option at SS and Escobar would be called up instantly to play SS everyday..  And as bad as Gerut has been, he's still a better option in CF and if not him I'd still much rather see Hart moved over to CF or a guy llike Bourgeis (spelling) brought up...

Really, Bill Hall brings nothing to this team and should just be released already..

Wish i did, but I'm not listening to the radio. I listened to Ueck the other day, "get up, get up, caught" I just can't take the radio, fools me too much.
