Wow--the 9th-inning Brewers pitcher was down 3-0 to Edmonds (first Cub up), and looks to have thrown at him in frustration over the way the entire series has gone (Cubs are winning 9-1 and are ready to sweep all four games), and was tossed out of the game by the ump (no warning, just outta there). Ball went behind Edmonds, so they didn't even get that one right.

That's weak. And bad baseball karma. It's one thing to plunk a guy after the other team has purposefully thrown at your player. But to go after somebody because you're losing and want to make a statement is pathetic.
Oh well. Brewers got swept by their rivals in a pennant race. That's enough for them to chew on for August.

And they got swept at Wrigley Field North--oops, I meant to say "at home." The way the Cubs fans take over Miller Park is fun to watch.
The score is now 11-1; Fontenot just picked up two RBIs with a double. I wonder how tall he really is? He looks like he's around 5'4" or so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've been to two Cubs/Brewers games - one in Milwaukee and one at Wrigley. Those games were so much fun, as many insults get yelled back and forth between the FIB and Cheesehead fans.

Looks like the Manny Ramirez trade that was all but closed has fallen apart and he'll stay with the Red Sox. It's like a passion play they need to put on every couple years.
The reports now are saying that the trade has gone through.

He's going to the Dodgers, not the Marlins.

In fact, I can't think of any other examples (where the same animal gets dressed up, then eaten).
Does the piglet in tiny boots to protect from the mud count? If it then gets turned into bacon? (Mmm, bacon)

Yeah, I was just coming in to fix my post with the details, but you beat me to it. Manny goes to the Dodgers. Jason Bay goes to the Sox, and the Pirates get Brandon Moss and Craig Hansen from the Sox and Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris from the Dodgers.

"a White Sox"
See, I know it's correct, but it grates.
