Welcome to Saturday Scorecard. And, a hearty welcome to Mr. Baseball, Bob Uecker, who returned to the Brewers radio booth on Friday night.

Since nearly everyone is busy with flood cleanup, we'll keep things snappy.

Hart of the matter: The good news for the Brewers was that Corey Hart did not fracture his right wrist while sliding into a wall during a victory over Washington Friday night at Miller Park.

The bad news is that he jammed it badly enough to limit his availability during a personal hot streak and a time when he is drawing trade interest from a handful of clubs.

The Brewers haven't indicated whether they are motivated to trade Hart, but general manager Doug Melvin and members of his inner circle have been scouring opposing rosters in preparation and will listen to all reasonable offers. 

Part of the problem with trading Hart is the fact that Prince Fielder's status beyond this year is uncertain.  The other part is that the Brewers want major-league pitching in exhange for their all-star rightfielder, and that's a commodity that most teams don't have in surplus.

Hart's injury occurs at a critical time. It could be enough to guarantee that he won't be dealt. 

Joe Inglett replaced Hart in the starting lineup on Saturday, a night after veteran Jim Edmonds provided a pivotal two-run homer against the Nationals.

Back in the game: Uecker announced his return on Friday by saying "I'm ready to rock and roll." Twelve weeks after undergoing surgery to repair his aortic valve, Uecker came back to work.

"The doctors kind of said, 'OK.' They knew I was coming back anyway, so there was nothing they could do," he said.

Uecker said he would have returned sooner if not for a staph infection that followed his surgery. He lost 16 pounds at the time, because strong antibiotics needed to fight the infection suppressed his appetite.

Uecker's doctors, Alfred C. Nicolosi and Jim Kleczka, tossed ceremonial first pitches before the game on Friday. During the game, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett visited the booth to deliver a proclamation declaring it "Bob Uecker Day."

Thumbs down? SI.com writer Brit Robson wasn't a big fan of the Bucks' acquisition of Corey Maggette. Robson wrote:

"Maggette is a scoring machine who gets to the free-throw line as well as any wing player in the NBA, a Bucks weakness last season. He averaged 19.8 points by shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 83.5 percent on an eye-opening 7.9 free-throw attempts per game for Golden State last season. But, according to 82games.com, this did not translate into success for the Warriors. Maggette played nearly half of his team's minutes, and during that time, Golden State was outscored by 289 points. When Maggette sat, however, the Warriors were bested by a mere six points. The Warriors were -- and are -- better off with out him.

"Maggette hurts his team two ways: no ball movement and no defense. On a Warriors team of chuckers, he ranked behind only guard Monta Ellis in shots per minute, and even that total is deflated by all the shots that don't get tabulated because he was fouled on the play. At the other end of the court, Maggette was a liability. As badly as Golden State plays defense, it was 6.3 points per 100 possessions worse when Maggette was on the court.

"The crystal ball shows Maggette bouncing in and out of Skiles' doghouse because of indifferent defense, while passing becomes a secondary pursuit of Milwaukee's offense. Jennings is a ball-centric operator, having averaged 14.8 shots despite his 37.1 percent accuracy as a rookie. That tied him for the team lead in shot frequency with Salmons. Having Salmons and Maggette (owed about $31 million over the next three years) on the floor at the same time is corrosively redundant, potentially robbing minutes from such glue guys as Ersan Ilyasova, Carlos Delfino and Luc Mbah a Moute. And it means fewer touches and scoring opportunities for Milwaukee's best player, the unselfish Bogut."

Bucks fans hope he's wrong.

LARRY KING LOUNGE
The Packers start practicing a week from today... New Bucks forward Jon Brockman visited Miller Park on Friday night. Brockman, who is expected to bring energy and toughness to a team that has lacked both at times in recent years, has the potential to be a fan favorite in a Larry Krystkowiak kind of way... Stop me if you've heard this before: Oakland right-hander Ben Sheets has a swollen elbow, was placed on the DL Saturday and could be out for the season... Here is a question for Brewers fans worried about losing Prince Fielder -- how are the Padres doing since trading Jake Peavy?... I'm not a basketball coach, but I like reading locally-produced Winning Hoops magazine. If I ever do start coaching, I'll have some cool drills and several ways to beat a zone trap... I might regret saying this, but it's starting to look as though Rickie Weeks is figuring things out... At the same time, Ryan Braun has never looked so lost at the plate... Those late-90s uniforms that the Brewers wore Friday night seemed to hold up pretty well. Most players liked them a lot more than the pinstripe pajamas they wear on 80s throwback nights... Veteran infielder Craig Counsell said he experienced some flooding at his home. That's not surprising, considering the five-foot walls of water ravaging the streets in Whitefish Bay/Shorewood... Greg Vaughn's son, Cory, a former standout at San Diego State, is playing well in Class A for the Mets, who drafted him in the fourth round... Michael Redd is hoping to come back from a knee injury in February. I wonder what team he'll be playing for when he returns... I just read ESPN ombudsman Don Ohlmeyer's take on "The Decision," and I think he agrees with me. It was a bad idea, but at least they executed it poorly... I hope it doesn't rain on the Hall of Fame ceremony in Cooperstown. It's one of the best days of the year.
