Ok, let's get this show on the road...
I'm not sure how much I actually trust the radar guns at stadiums and on television broadcasts... http://detroit4lyfe.com/articles/detroit-tigers/zumaya-ks-milton-bradley-with-104-mph-fastball.html even if it is 1 or 2 MPH fast, dear god. By the way, the official Guinness record for a fastball is 100.9 MPH by Nolan Ryan. In case you want to go a little more old school, here is this video...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMPxpOapRuU
As if someone really needed to write this...

Even with a winning record, if George was still at the helm, there would be a lot of headlines to be made with his comments to the press, especially after losing a series to the Nationals...at home.
I kind of agree with the headline. As I keep saying (to myself) the one team that could sneak up on the NL and knock out someone really fast. Do you really want to see Lincecum and Cain back to back in a 5-game series? I know I don't. By the way, if the season ended today, they are your NL Wild Card team.

Speaking of trades, last years big winner at the deadline doesn't seem to be interested in doing something that big again. Is there anyone worth either of these two in this market? Probably not. Besides, the Brewers seem to be doing just fine at the moment. The are 2 games back of St. Louis in the Central (1 game in the loss column) and 1 game back of San Francisco in the Wild Card race.

The Diamondbacks are not going to make the Playoffs anyways, it is probably not a bad idea to shut him down, have him get surgery, and hope that next year he and Dan Haren can try and compete with Lincecum and Cain as the most frightening 1-2 punch in the game.
