NL Central Race Heats Up

Following Milwaukee's acquisition of CC Sabathia, the cubs traded for former Oakland starter Rich Harden. Now comes a war of words.

Check out Michael Hunt's column from today's Journal Sentinel.

Hunt makes reference to a "certain decrepit stadium" south of Milwaukee, and the "pompous" fans which inhabit it.

Hunt seems riled up about some comments which were made in a Chicago newspaper Tuesday - calling Milwaukee "the frumpy hamlet to the north."

The Brewers enter tonight's game 4 games behind the cubs, and 1 game behind the Cardinals.

After the All-Star break, the cubs come to Milwaukee for 4 games, July 28-31. The Brewers won't see the cubs again until September, when they play two series: Sep. 16-18 at Wrigley Field, and Sep 26-28 at Miller Park (the final 3 games of the season).

Marmol and Wood have both pitched in 40 plus games this year, and with Wood's injury history, Glendon Rusch will be back closing games by September.
Interesting to see Haurdicourt's bashing of Mota the last two days. He's usually pretty reserved in that regard. I like the idea to call up Luis Pena to bolster the bullpen.

Favre who?

Just kidding...Part of me wants to just ignore all of this talk (because so much can change in the coming weeks)...I'll post something on this whole mess by the end of the weekend...I don't have time now though, because we've got a tournament for our little league team.
