I know that everyone knows this. ESPN needs to pay more attention to the rest of the league. And this is coming from a Yankees fan. While in the tavern last night, I remarked to Chopper that they have been playing the same shots of the Yankee v Red Sox game without spending time with their other big league brethren. That is fucking lame. I say again that is fucking lame. LA spends a lot of money and are good. But we are the four letter network. We only care about 2 teams. The game on Sunday night is cool as again I am a Yankee fan, but taking 2 hours of my time on the two teams before hand is once again fucking lame.

How about that rant for F-Bombs. Anger is good.

Enough. Lets look at the team that really matters... Your Milwaukee Brewers almost swept Houston for the first time today. Without Neddy Bear, there really isnt anything to bitch about...be honest. But here are some notes to think about.

Manny Parra is a headcase. Not along the same line as Milton Bradley, as Parra is not an asshole. He just tries to be too cute with his pitches. He could get through the opposing lineup twice with a fastball alone but tries to throw too many pitches on the corners. He needs to start to have confidence in his stuff. IE, become a pitcher and not a thrower.

Mike Cameron is having a decent season so far. And he his not striking out...as much. Off topic-the team is not striking out as much. Is this the result of the hitting coach? He was not a good major league hitter. Anyway...He is taking pitches, hitting dingers, and playing the center field that he is paid, albeit too much, for.

Jeff Suppan despite 2 decent starts is still a bum. Enough said.

Dave Bush seems to be benefiting from a beard. Though he most likely will taper off of his torrid pace as a stater, it is good to have him around. A dude I work with will give me shit about saying that tomorrow. Bush and Looper have become the de-facto aces of the staff, and as long as Yovani and these two keep it up, good things will happen.

I could go on, but this is all my hungover mind can do right now. Ryan Braun is starting to find it, and the offense knows it. They probably will not make the playoffs but they will give the Cubs and the Cardinals a run. The thing is, it is early. Ask me again at the end of May and I will probably tell you different.

Non Baseball.

T squared, for the first time, did not ass-fuck the team this year in the draft. Sure he gave up some picks, but when was the last time he traded up. Two words. Fucking Never. Moving to the 34 defense requires specific players. It is not difficult to play, in fact it may be easier that the 43, if you have the right players. Better to take 2 defensive players rather than 1 offensive one. Unofficial off the record guess...10-6 and a loss on the first round. But at least it is better than last season.

Since we are off the record, here is what Daddy is listening to, and who should be on MTV instead of some shitty fake crap.


For the record they, Green Day, are good, but in the last 10 years have been playing to a 2 faced audience. But whatever works I guess. The same as these guys. The sweet zombie jesus like good punk rock.
