Brewers news:
In General
This is the 2nd time this has happened to me(the first time was several seasons back when I was Arizona) but Bill Hall "mysteriously" did not play like 5 games in a row. Yet there was no mention that he was hurt. I doubt very seriously that he was that tired. If he is hurt and gonna miss that much time, then why doesn't the damn game say so?? Huh? Also, Jess Lewis got skipped twice, that should not be happening.

Sorry for this but it is highly frustrating to see a team this talented sucking.....thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

Announcements
I need to resign the following players: Mike Jones, Nate Field (don't know why), and Juan Brito. On Jones, offer 4 for 3 and if he balks on that, go ahead and sign him for whatever he wants...don't play around on him. On Field, do NOT go over 2 million on him. With Brito don't go over 1 million...years would be, I guess 3 on Field and only 1 on Brito. Thanks, Zac

Promotions, Demotions, and Cuts
Demote Kenny Baugh, P from Majors to AAA
Promote Mark Prior, P from AAA to Majors
Demote Nate Field, P from Majors to AAA
Promote Erick Threets, P from AAA to Majors
