By battlekow RW: Well, I heard from all the clubs, but I guess the Yankees, Orioles, Diamondbacks, and Brewers showed the most [interest]. BCB: Who were you a fan of growing up? The Braves? BCB: Speaking of the College World Series, you ran into the Fresno State buzzsaw. How did you take that?

By battlekow BCB: I've heard that the players the Indians have to choose from will change depending on how well Sabathia does for the Brewers and how well the Brewers do the rest of the season. Do you know anything about that? TG: It’s awesome. Chris Cody and Bobby Bramhall are also awesome at doing that.

By Jeff Sackmann Melvin: I talked to CC last night, doesn't want days at home, wants to be in dugout tonight. It's very encouraging. He knows a few of our players, Riske, who said there's a guy in Cleveland that may be available. I can only listen because of tampering.

By Rob(noreply@blogger.com) Via BTF comes this gem of Robothal genuflecty silliness, a possible trade for C.C. Sabathia: The Brewers aren't the only team pushing hard for Indians left-hander C.C. Sabathia. The Dodgers also are heavily in the mix, according to major-league sources.

By Jim McLennan We should have buried the Brewers. We pounded out twelve hits - but managed to push only three runs across home-plate. That's the first time we've had so many hits and lost because we got such a low return, since July 20th, 2005, when we scored twice on 12 hits against Florida, and were defeated...

By battlekow BCB: You're in Arizona now? GS: Yeah. BCB: Did you go to many [Class A Kannapolis Intimidators] minor league games growing up? BCB: The Brewers love guys with changeups. Have they talked to you about refining that yet? BCB: Is there anything else you want Brewers fans to know?

By battlekow BCB: Are you in Arizona now? BCB: So, did you know the Brewers were interested in drafting you before they did? CK: The Reds, Cardinals, and Cubs were the most interested. BCB: Oh so you're a Cardinals fan? Well, better than the Cubs, I suppose.

By battlekow BCB: So why did you transfer to San Francisco specifically? BCB: Are there any major league pitchers you pattern yourself after? EF: Dodgers actually. Grew up in L.A. BCB: As long as you're not a Cubs fan! EF: (laughs) I’m a complete Brewers fan now.
