CC Sabathia is now a Brewer

"None of my posts were meant to be personal and although my typing may be a little off, my involvement in these blogs does not determine my love for the Brewers or the game."

No ill intent was taken just giving you some crap, brotha.  All Brewer, Cardinal, White Soxs, Astros, Reds, Gator fans are gonna get some crap from me.

"Maybe i do only join in for subjects centering around my favorite teams, but i dont have time to do this most of the time...."

I don't care when you join in and it has nothing to do with your loyality.  If you say you're a die-hard then it doesn't matter what I think.  You're a Brewer fan, and I'm a Cub fan. Simply as that.  And I'm gonna give you a hard-time without being dsrespectful.  No ill intent on my part. 

"The thing about my sis-in-law was my attempt at humor"

I sensed the humor which is why I responded with a sarcastic comment.

"So goodluck and hopefully we'l both make it, but man i wanna c the crew get somewhere and finally capitalize on SOMETHING!!!!"

Same to you guys as well...okay, now that we got that mushy crap out of the way.  Lets get back to some trash talk.

"what still bothers me is that the Brewers are only now being called "the team to beat" all over the place, but why just now?"

If it takes away attention from the Cubs that's cool with me.  But you just now acquired a Cy-Young award winner so that may be why.  I think most die hard baseball fans know that the Brewers were and/are one of the legit teams in the National League.  They weren't on the ESPN-radar until this deal went through.  Now Buster Olney and Tim Kurkijan will have to pay attention to the N.L. Central.

"The Cubs r gonna dig in now.  I heard Burnett as a possible attraction for them.  Anyone else hear that?"

I've heard that and everyone other trade scenario regarding pitching.  Heck just head over to the Chicago Cubs forum, and you'll read some interesting trade rumors.  Some our out of this world while others take some serious imagination.  I love my Cubs but to be honest, Burnett just doesn't seem like he'll be a Cub this season.  Hopefully, I'm wrong.  But the Cubs are gonna have to go after a second-tier pitcher.  With the new ownership and weak farm system.  It may not be in the cards.
