What do you get for the baseball fan that has everything?
How about their very own major league pitcher?
OK, so it's a joke, but one Brewers fan's frustration with Jeff Suppan has led him to post this auction on eBay (We don't expect the link to stay active very long, sorry), in which he's placed the veteran right-hander for sale.
As an added bonus, he'll throw in Bill Hall absolutely free. The only catch, however, is the seller will not accept bids from Wisconsin residents.
To entice would-be buyers, the seller lists some of Suppan's statistics and qualities:
- "Durable -- Would love to pitch all nine innings regardless of the outcome.
- Starting pitcher -- At least he starts the game. However, depends on the day and how bad he pitches, he may last from one and a half innings to six.
- Highest ERA -- Milwaukee's top ERA holder. Great for any opposing team. Does not matter of the Division. Performs rock solid for the opposing team.
- A walker -- "He walks really good." Tried his best to keep them in even numbers (4, 6, 8...)
- Highest paid pitcher in the dugout -- $12.75 million
- Allows at least six runs in first five innings "
For the record, Suppan is 5-6 with a 4.86 ERA in 16 starts this season. If only Billy Mays were around to pitch this. (What, too soon?)

Red- All i know is what that contract, he better get us a win today! Just kidding guys!! Yeah, I think they have a shot, as this hasnt been one of Zambrano's better years so far. I agree, the next three would be very nice. Hope you all have a nice holiday weekend too!

Dang, I was out all day at a clown convention (just kidding) and missed the continuing conversation. That was fun. Sounds like everyone is playing nice in the sandbox. Now I have to take a break for a while and save up my sarcasm for the next Sunday debate: Is it ok for drunk drivers to run over smokers?

Sounds good to me! As you know, I can be pretty stubburn myself while trying to prove my point. At the end of the day we are all passionate brewer fans that want the same result, a championship! Till the next topic and arguement, have a good one. : )

"everyday player". lol. that would be cal ripken! you know what jk? it's obvious i can be a d-bag around here, but i'm really not that bad a person. when i smell BS i call it. i might even be wrong, but i generally admit it. kind of like i'm admitting to d-baggery right now. whatever. i respect other's opinions. i really do. but if i don't agree, i'll say so. doesn't mean that i'm always right either. so truce, ok? now can we all go back to agreeing that Begel has no business wielding a pen?
