chowell18 After the whoopin' the Brewers put on my D-Backs (again) this last week, I hate to see us face them again this season.

The Brewers, loaded with talent at the Double-A and Advanced-A levels and eager to make a big move for the 2008 postseason, always appeared to be the most logical and likely trade partner for the Indians, and they ...

... two nights but failed to get hitting support and, in Galarraga's case, relief support. Both of those games resulted in Tigers losses. So the Tigers went 1-2 versus the Twins and 2-2 versus the Mariners and lost ground on the division leaders. They are seven behind the Twins and six behind the White Sox. They now have a day off followed by a six game home stand versus the Indians and Twins. Tuesday night's game was supposed to be a match-up of Justin Verlander and CC Sabathia but Sabathia has been traded to the Brewers. That's a break for the Tigers.

Philadelphia had been a rumored destination for the 2007 AL Cy Young winner, but the Milwaukee Brewers appear to have won the C.C. sweepstakes. The Brewers have agreed to trade stud prospect Matt LaPorta and probably a few other minor leaguers in exchange for the big lefty. How serious the Phillies actually were in talks for Sabathia we will never know, but the Phils will have to turn their sights now to Erik Bedard or another lesser pitcher, like A.J. Burnett, if they want to ...

Matt LaPorta Is My Worst Nightmare

... that the Captain left behind in the American League when he was traded to the Brewers for Matt "Babies Are a Snack For Me" LaPorta. Personally, I cant understand why you do this trade if you are the Brewers unless you have the money somewhere to sign him. He is going to cost 100 mil plus, so you better start getting out the checkbooks. Basically, you have traded your future OF bomber for half a year of a guy that hasnt been ALL THAT GOOD for the first half of the season. The Captain has shown flashes of his Cy year, but he has also cemented his status as a BIG FAT BABY as well. ...

Monday Morning Rockpile:

... The immediate ramifications for the Rockies in the wake of C.C. Sabathia going to Milwaukee rather than Los Angeles (the Dodgers were the other frontrunner for him) probably wouldn't amount to much if anything, but it does keep the door slightly ajar for the Dodgers to make a serious Matt Holliday bid. The pressure seems to be building in Dodgerland for LA to make one big move this summer to make a push for the seemingly easily obtainable NL West crown. I still don't think it's enough to push a Holliday deal, so I guess the biggest thing that comes of this for the Rockies is a ...
