Poker Night/Brewers Pitching and the Ben Sheets Conundrum

Make sure to check out the poll to the right. I'll put up a new one weekly.

Thursday night is poker night at my neighbor's house. Shout out to J-Rod. Aside from losing two straight hands with pocket queens, the cards seemed to come out in my favor all night. It was a good night and I ended up taking home 40$. Shout out to the other guys who play; Nate, Logan, Jake, Kevin, Scott and Big Eazy. Just check 'er down.

On to the Brewers and the issues with our pitching. Playing poker last night made me wonder is Ben Sheets is worth the gamble on resigning him. He is reportedly asking for a nice guaranteed two or three year contract. I've heard that a couple of teams have offered him some nice incentive laden contracts and he is reportedly turning them down. Ben, buddy, remember who you are and what your track record is injury wise. You never play close to a full season, except this year, which coincidentally was a contract year. Even then you got hurt and severely hurt our playoff run. Even with all this I would have liked you to sign a nice one year deal or possibly a two year deal with the crew. Prove that you are worth what you think you are worth by playing a full season and you will get paid. But right now teams are scared to sign you. Hell our starting 5 is not looking the greatest(but what starting five with SoupCan would look great?). Yo is going to be the ace of the future, Manny is a solid pitcher, Bush had a great second half last year, Chucky is ok, but he is better as a reliever or setup guy for Hoffman. And SoupCan sucks, we paid him big money because of his playoff experience and we finally get there after 26 years and you were terrible. CC looked better and he had pitched twice as often the last couple weeks of the year. I have more animosity towards Soup than I ever did for Gagne, and that says a lot. Why haven't the Brewers gone after Gagne again anyways? He was mos def. overpaid last year, by oh, let's say 8 million dollars. So if the Twinkies were going to give him around 3 million, why haven't we offered him half that and see what he says. He had a pretty good last month of the year. If we will give Counsell 1million, Gagne should get at least that. I am disappointed be didn't keep Mota around, he really picked it up at the end of the year.

Tomorrow might bring about a SuperBowl entry.
Who knows, till then I'm checkin 'er down.
