Thanks For Nothing

After stealing a base and scoring the game-winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning, the Milwaukee Brewers showed Gabe Gross their appreciation by trading him to the Tampa Bay Rays. The trade leaves Milwaukee with only 1 Gabe on the roster. The Brewers picked up a pitching prospect in the deal.

Gross had been hitting better of late, but his average was at .209. By the end of April, the Brewers should have Mike Cameron and Tony Gwynn back, so something had to give.

Meanwhile, Eric "Game Not Over" Gagne blew yet another save today. Gagne came into the ninth with a 1-run lead, and promptly hit a batter and gave up a single. He now has 4 blown saves in 10 opportunities.

At the end of the year, when the Brewers miss the playoffs by 2 games, remember back to Sunday at Cincinnati and last night against the Cards. "Contact play" with one out and a man on third. Start packing Ned and check for flights around the All-Star game.

I've never been a huge Ned Yost fan, and if he ends up losing his job I would not object (as long as he takes Sveum with him)...perhaps Ted Simmons could take over.

Hold the phone!! Russell Branyon is available to be called up. He and Bill Hall can have a strikeout contest.

How about adding Jose Hernandez to the mix?
