Stephen Malkmus' fantasy baseball preview (Brewers content galore)

[MillerParkSouth]

For you indie rock fans out there, I found this little nugget. Stephen Malkmus (formerly of Pavement, currently of the Jicks) did some talking about fantasy baseball and it just so happens that he loves the Brewers! Talks a lot about Braun, Yo, Corey Hart, it's a great read, especially if you're a fan of his. I didn't think it was possible, but he just got a little cooler.

I know literally nothing about Malkmus, but it was really cool to see just how well-known the Brewers have become!

 

"Yvonni Gallardo from the Brewers, too. He's a great young player, too. I guess he's hurt until late April, but still."

Well, come on - that's a tough spell. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

"I love Corey Hart. I drafted him last year and I [cough!] traded him because he didn't play for the first half of the year."

"I traded Jason Schmidt. I got Adrian Gonzalez for him right away, which was smart. But then some guy who didn't have any pitching wanted to trade me Hanley Ramirez for Ben Sheets and I had just made that other trade and decided I needed Sheets. Sheets had just pitched that first game of the year and was on fire. It's so hard to trade when someone does that."

 

"He's a bad man. He's a bad redneck. There's this guy that I did an interview with who covers Philly. He's friends with the whole team, and he says they're all awesome - except for Brett Myers. He says he's a dumb redneck."

 

That's a cool read, and he's pretty clearly well-informed & a sports lover.

For those with sensitive eyes. The article does contain some words that are banned on this site.

 

Pretty good though, I enjoyed the Hart comment as well!

In hindsight I think he should have traded for Hanley http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

It's interesting that he disses Myers. I have a simple draft policy for Fantasy Baseball: No Yankees, No Cubs, No Brett Myers. I just can't will any of them to do well!
