.151 hitter Craig Counsell was just intentionally walked....

....so to pitch to the pitcher.*

I have a friend who frequently chides me for preferring National League (hitters bat) baseball.

I expect an email within minutes.

*I wouldn't on principle intentionally walk anyone that doesn't wear batting gloves but that is another story

Craig Counsell

                                               
                                                   
I see that Craig Counsell hasn't gotten a hit since Jun* 10th.

45 at bats!

June 10th!

I mean Casey Anthony was still counting the days until she learned whether she was going to get the death sentence or just life in prison!

Nobody had ever heard of the phrase "debt ceiling"!

I could go on and on.

*The Blogger inconsistent spellcheck is maddening. Not correcting this one, which was not caught, as a protest.

Craig Counsell

Craig Counsell is currently in the midst of an 0-33 slump.

That is only one more hitless at bat away from the Brewers team record held by.......Craig Counsell.

?!?!

I don't even want to know who holds the Brewers record for consecutive strikeouts or lowest batting average in a season or....

Is the Brewers farm system completely bare or something?
