Kapler who?

Sorry Gabers, but you have been replaced. Not in my heart (no one can ever take that away from us) but you are no longer my Crewers man crush. Yup that is right Casey Mcgehee you have a new gentleman caller and his name is C-Weed. That could be the single gayest thing I have ever wrote. I digress. When CM came onto the scene in spring training I was skeptical as most. Wasn't sure what to think of this dude who came from the Cubs minor league system. But with every at bat and highlight reel play from the all over the infield I started to pay attention. When the Crew decided to hold onto him coming into the regular season. I was pretty stoked about it, he was on fence to make the starting line up. But his hot ass bat and above average defense got him the nod.
It is tough for guys who are used to playing every day to come in off the bench and make an impact hence Gamel Toe, Franky "Skat" Cat-ta-la-notta and Jody Gayroots. But KC McGay-hee has taken that old cliche of "make the most of your every oppertunity " and made sweet love to it. He is above my expectations and In my opinion should be an everyday player. I am not sure where you stick him. With Craiggers playing way above average and at 2nd and 3rd. Gamel needs to play everyday at 3rd so he can get his reps and become a dominating player we all know he can be. It would be easy to think you could platoon the 3 of them except Gamel is soley on the hot corner. But than I feel like you are defeating the purpose of getting these guys to play as much as possible. We are back to where we are now. I feel like KC is hurting Gamels opportunities to become that everyday 3rd baseman. KC and CC are too consistant at this point not to have them in the lineup every day and Gamel doesnt have the trust from Macha for some reason. I really feel like it comes down to KC and CC being way too productive at this point. The one thing Gamel has going for him is CC brittle ass knees and Hall not doing anything. So that should keep him up for now. With that said, is it crazy to think you send Gamel back the AAA so he can get his everyday work or do you leave him up to play twice a week getting his major league experience. It is a really titty twister of predicament, one of which I didnt think we would have after losing Weeks to the DL. Now we have too many middle infielders, that is actually a pretty nice titty twister to recieve.
Anyway I kinda got off the subject but I absolutley love Mcgehee and what he has been able to do. Guys who are suppose to spend their careers in the minors. Come up and take a team like the brewers, who have some of the best prospect talent and major league talent in the league and really make an impact. Is really awesome. I have found my new Gabe Kapler ladies and gentleman, a role I never thought could be replaced. Keep it up McGehee keep it up!

ps. did I mention he jerked off a granny last night after nearly losing the game for the crew by dropping a routine flyball at 3rd, that he looked into the glove the whole way. OMG LOL. I spilled a whole 1.75 of whisky that I was drinking while laying on the couch watching the game. They need to make a wide mouth bottle for whisky, Im just saying.

Not Sure What to Say

I just saw this video, that a guy made to get back his girlfriend, and I dont know if it is the best or worst thing I have ever seen. All I know is if you have 8 minutes that you dont mind wasting at some point today, check this out. You be may be dissapointed, or you may think it is the greatest fucking video ever. Please leave a comment as to which category you fall in. I have to give this guy a lot of credit for the effort...

Live Music Friday - Wilco

Today, in honor of the recently deceased Jay Bennett, I will share a prior incarnation of Wilco. Jay was a guitarist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who joined Wilco a few years after their formation and was booted from the group a few years later, primarily due to personality and creative conflicts with the band's leader, Jeff Tweedy. It appears that Jay died tragically young of an overdose of pain relievers while waiting for a hip replacement surgery last month. Wilco has changed a lot over the years, so we may revisit different stages of their live act in the future. (They are still on Rolling Stone's Top Ten Live Bands list, and NPR recently crowned them "the best live band in America.")

For today, we'll take a look at how Wilco sounded when Jay Bennett was a member, and when I was first lucky enough to see them play in Madison. This song was written when Wilco was still in its "roots rock," "alt-country" continuation of what its predecessor, Uncle Tupelo, had been doing.

Jay Bennett is the crazy looking bastard with the dreadlocks on guitar. The song is "Outtasite (Outta Mind)," which was the first Wilco song I ever heard when the old Madison alt station 92.1 WMAD put it in their rotation in late 1996. By Feb. 1997, I saw them play live at the Barrymore and they've been in my top 5 ever since.

"Look out, here I come again and I'm bringing my friends."

RIP Jay Bennett, 1963-2009.

Quite Possibly the Best YouTube Video Ever



Wow I dont know where to start on how fucking incredible this video is. I used to hate that auto tune shit, but I am starting to love it. It just points out how terrible the likes of T-Pain and Kanye are as musicians. I mean when you can just auto-tune people talking and make a decent song out of it, you have to realize that those guys are no talent ass clowns. Sorry bear, I will still listen to non-stop Kanye with you as we drive around Pelican Lake next weekend, but i wont be enjoying myself as much as you will. Everyone you owe it to yourself to watch this video!

WOW!



Not that any of my readers care, but the United States just pulled off there biggest win ever, in knocking off #1 ranked Spain today 2-0. This is basically on par with the Hockey teams victory over the soviets nearly 30 years ago. The Americans lost one of there best players to a red card with five minutes left to go in regulation, so they will be short handed in the Championship game against, Brazil, most likely. Still this is the type of signature win that could propel the US to something big in the world cup. It may put soccer on the map in the US finally. Like I said I doubt many of you care, but it is a great game, and the Americans just pulled off a once in a lifetime shocker.

Lets Auto-Tune the World

Seriously auto-tune is the gayest thing next to man on man butt sexy. But this is fantastic. The world seems round all of a sudden!
