Brewers 2009 preview — part 1 (the lineup)

December 24, 2008

Hey if anybody knows how to fix this blog setup to move this column further left so that the graph doesn’t bleed into the links, leave a comment or e-mail me at cody@czwief.com. Thanks! It is now officially the offseason — trades and signings, with the exception of Mark Teixiera, are pretty much dead until [...]

I now pretty much hate the Yankees a lot more

December 23, 2008

First you overpay for the best pitcher, then you make Doug Melvin mad, then you toss out some more money in Teixiera? The Brewers are immediately impacted, as the compensatory draft pick the Brewers were going to get from Sabathia is now going over to the Angels. Boo Yankees. Good thing that New York taxpayers [...]

Why vampires can get AIDS

December 21, 2008

Here’s an article I wrote for a class. Enjoy. One of the most overlooked issues in America today is the subject of vampire population control. Covered up by the popularity of terrible vampire movies such as the recently-released Twilight or the ever-forgettable Blade: Trinity or Van Helsing is the side of vampires not glorified by [...]

Brewers interested in Braden Looper

December 21, 2008

Braden Looper eh? If the Brewers can get him at a 1-2 year deal for pretty cheap, I’m pumped. 175 innings of league-average ball with an above-average offense seems totally okay with me. Gallardo-Parra-Bush-Looper-Suppan. Not very good, but acceptable considering the availability. That pretty much means then that Sheets is totally 100% out of the [...]

Cash called. Cameron’s sticking with the Brewers. I still don’t like the move, although it’s not too heartbreaking. Cam will net another couple of draft picks once 09 is over.

Still setting up the blog

December 15, 2008

In the next couple of days, some formatting things might get screwy, and you might notice more content/links/edited posts. I’m putting some of the finishing touches on my blog. So, this page is still under construction — if you see something freaky, I probably did it.

Monday, Dec. 15 thoughts

December 15, 2008

Naturally, the biggest news of the day is still… the Brewers might grab Kei Igawa from the Yankees in the well-publicized Mike Cameron-for-Melky Cabrera deal that makes it seem like the Brewers are getting bullied around. Cabrera had a terrible year last year for the Yankees, batting a mere .249/.301/.341/.641. Marcel projections put him at [...]

Aaron Gleeman profile interview

December 4, 2008

Here’s a piece/interview I wrote up on Aaron Gleeman, writer for Rotoworld, excellent blogger, busy dude, and all-around nice guy. Comment up! On April 29 of this year, two people fought over an elephant in the room of the sports media. On that day, the hard-nosed, old-school, New York Times columnist and Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Buzz [...]

First post!
