SportingNews.com Brewers open bidding for ace pitcher Sabathia
"It's in their hands," Melvin said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "He hasn't really had a chance to talk with other teams." His new deal could top Johan Santana's $137.5 million, six-year contract with the New York Mets
Man everybody is bailing on the Brewers. Jack Z, probably all his crew, and now Mike Maddux? I'd say it's karma for firing the manager with a few weeks to go. The Brewers had their shot, and they blew it.
Now they can go back to being NL doormats for the next 15 years. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!!
MLB.com Sources: Maddux new pitching coach
Mike Maddux is joining the Rangers as their pitching coach, according to Major League sources. An announcement is expected at some point this week.Maddux, who has spent the past five seasons as the Brewers' pitching coach, was interviewed by the Rangers this weekend and is expected to be hired. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Maddux told the Brewers that he was leaving to join the Rangers.
wow. I wonder if this has ever happened before. They are leading the wildcard with two weeks to go, and they can the manager?
And I bet you thought the game of the day was going to be Boston vs. New York.
Not on my watch!
I am not a Bud Black fan. He bores me. I miss Bruce Bochy. We should get that straight right now. Bochy, an ex catcher, had a presence about him. It's like that old commercial, when Bruce spoke, people really did listen.
I believe rightly or wrongly, that the solid Padre bullpens of the past few seasons was Bochy's doing, and not Kevin Towers doing, even though Towers gets all the credit.
It's tough times financially for a lot of folks, not just in the states, but world wide. Lots of people are looking for work, or will be soon. I always say it is never too early to get a leg up on the competition, ya know. See what is out there type of thing. Sometimes the grass is truly greener on the other side.
How much are the padres missing Mike Cameron right now? I own Cameron on a number of rosters this season, and while yes, the batting average is hard to swallow, Cameron is hitting homeruns, stealing bases, and basically producing in the other major categories. Unless of course, you play in a strikeout league.
Brewers Trade for Sabathia.You just can't keep these things secret anymore.
