FUCKING AWESOME...Doug Melvin pulled the okie-doke on the Blue Jays too. They gave us Marcum for Lawrie because they thought that took us outta the Greinke sweepstakes, but not so fast my friends. Fucking Yo, Greinke, Marcum, Wolf, and the Narv-dog. I'm wondering if they'll go Greinke, Yo, Wolf, Marcum, Narveson to split up the lefties? When was the last time any of us woke up knowing that the Brewers staff was better than the Yankees? Like 1987 when we had Teddy Higuera and Chris Bosio? And we didn't give up that much...I mean Escobar's ceiling was Rey Ordonez, Jeffress is a dime bag away from being kicked out of baseball, the minor league pitcher might be something someday, and Cain is the only one I'm really sad to see go. Could use J.J. Hardy back as SS, but oh well.

Hey I remember you from past Brewer threads.

Hope 2011 is a better year then this yr was. Great pick up by the Crew.

Hey...sorry your Pack couldn't have made this a perfect day. The cool thing about us is that unlike the Phiws and Giants we can HIT the shit outta the ball, and only gave up minor bats to get there. Our D will take a hit without Escobar as SS, but Gomez can catch anything out there in center and is a bit of a liability at the plate but with Braun, Fielder (for more than one year since everyone is signing firstbasemen?), Weeks (wants to stay), McGhee, and others this could be fun. Sucky thing is we have to play the Twins twice, Red Sox, Yanks on the road, and Rays at home, while the Cards get Greinke-less Royals for two series.

i like how you think the brewers are a better hitting team than the phillies even though the phils outscore them EVERY year. the phils had a "bad" year at the plate last year and were 2 games away from the series. while the Brewers "hit the shit outta the ball" all the way to what, 77 wins? maybe 80? Gallardo and Greinke are nice but don't count on Wolfie he will break your heart. You guys still will have the second best rotation in your division (Cards) and at best the 3rd best in the NL (ahem: Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, Hamels)

AA was never gonna pay what you guys paid for greinke ... not that you guys overpaid but the jays aren't that close ...

RW81233

We scored 20 runs less than the Phillies last year, and yes it was a "down" year for you guys, but all your good players are 32+...post-steroid era that's not good.

it'll make the central a little more interesting. if the brewers make the playoffs, they will get bounced before the WS.

i'll root for them tho.

RW81233

that's b/c the NL Central is a joke division. Don't the Brewers have the only win in the last 5 years or something in the playoffs?

The Blue Jays weren't going to trade for Grienke. From what I read, the Blue Jays aren't willing to move a lot of their hitting prospects and that's what they wanted for him. Besides, they were asking for two guys that are probably going to be on the teams opening day line up in 2011 and a few more prospects.

This year is going to be it. I can feel it. Pirates all the way. You heard it here first.

It's kinda funny that the Phils did not get the best Pitcher this offseason, and even though they have a better team they feel the need to get all petty about it. This, and their penchant for picking on the Mets (when that team did nothing to them), are what makes their fans so insufferable.

I know...you would think they traded for Cy Young



I'll take the Phils 4 pitchers
