Go Brewer!

Yeah, I like Brewer in my bullpen right now. Hasn't given up an earned run yet this year. However, he hasn't had many innings, due to our starting pitching being the way it is.

Yeah, he's been doing well. But most games there aren't any relievers pitching at all!

Especially the ones that my client pitches!

NOTE: Steve Barnes' PWR went from an E-91 to an E-92.

Carter says game 3 is a sign of things to come. He will be an impact bat for the Mendenhals, mark his words.

Potter had two monster games!

I think he's got the starting DH spot on the All-Star team after that.

Yeah, especially now that we shut down Thome in that series.

Hey, you ain't gonna let this die, are you?

No, I just haven't had time to play lately.
