We're really going to hate Mat Gamel for a long time if he can play any defense. Man does he have a quick bat and a sweet swing.

Kerry almost just blew another one. Didn't allow any runs in the inning, but walked 3. 16 balls, 12 strikes. That's 10 walks in 14 innings for him this year. Just 18 in 66.1 for us last year. He's also allowed more homers this year than he did all of us last year(4 now, 3 last year).

I've seen that mentioned a couple times this week (that they were shopping him).

Brewers expected to make an announcement of a player acquisition within the hour. My guess is Ray Durham.

I'm waiting to hear how great Gerut is now suddenly going to be as a Brewer. I'm sure I'll hear all about it.

Gerut had a nice season last year. I hope this move doesn't give him a boost.
