I didn't want to do two back to back, but I have been sitting on this for a while

Also, I told Percy I'd do this.

World Series

If the Brewers ever make the World Series, I fully expect one of the lawyers in the group will be forced to write a similar letter.

On another note, I would like to comment on Condescendy's thoughts on the lack of Hendy participation.

Obviously, I did not participate much in this years Hendys, and I do blame Jeff Suppan. The presence of Jeff Suppan on the Brewers roster this year put a foul taste in my mouth to start the season. Suppan had stunk up the Brewers rotation for the last three seasons, and yet come opening day he was still on the roster because they didn't want to eat his contract. Everyone knew the guy was going to be terrible, and yet he was still there.

So I started the season frustrated with the organization and ended up not watching/caring much about the Brewers this season. This translated in to less hatred for players, and less enthusiasm for the Hendys.

Therefore, I feel its fitting that Jeff Suppan win the Hendy this year.

Perhaps next season, starting the season out Suppan free will inspire more hatred...

2010 Hendy Award Winner - Jeff Suppan

I think we've seen enough. By virtue of a resounding victory in our first ever state-your-hate tiebreaker, Jeff Suppan has become the first ever repeat Hendy champion.

May god have mercy on all our souls if Suppan ever gets a chance to win a third.

2010 Hendies: HATE OFF!!!

Here it is. For the first time ever, we've got a hate off for the Hendy winner. My entry is below. Remember, the winner will be determined based on the hateful arguments put forth by you the voters.

Packers v. Vikings

In case you have forgotten, and judging by the attendance you have, to vote in the Hendies, please do so below.

The Packers season hinges on this game. A win and the entire season has been a success and they look like favorites to win the division. A loss and it's really hard to imagine them going anywhere. A loss and a career-ending hit on Favre by Clay Matthews? Well, that would be a nice consolation for the loss. A win with a career ending hit on Favre by Clay Matthews? There I'd literally ejac' through my pants.

Packers are 3-point favorites, meaning oddsmakers essentially believe these teams are equal. What do you think?

Like last year, we are going to do this in round robin format. Everyone left will face off against everyone else one time. If there's a tie, we go to the head-to-head results between the two players that are tied. If they're still tied, we go to the usual "state your hate" tiebreaker.

MU Swarms onto 2011 Recruiting Scene

Juan Anderson, 6'6" 210lbs, SF, California (somewhere around Watts I believe)

Check out the video of him:



Looks to have good swarming, but needs to work on his swagger and jumping.

2010 Hendy Awards

It's Hendy Time!!!

We begin this baseball offseason as we do every one, by declaring our most hated Brewer. You all know the rules.

Here are our matchups:

Three players have received exemptions - Rickie Weeks, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, who were the 3 best players on the team this year. Although I believe some of them may have made a good matchup or two, realistically they had no shot of winning this thing.

We will have 8 play-in matchups this year, voting for which begins today.

Those matchups are:

BANDO DIVISION

Randy Wolf (10) v.
Joe Inglett (7)

Jim Edmonds (9) v.
Mike McClendon (8)


LOPES DIVISION

Corey Hart (10) v.
Gregg Zaun (7)

Chris Narveson (9) v.

Kameron Loe (9) v.
Lorenzo Cain (8)
