I remember in the Packer exhibition games Fuzzy Thurston was talking about Matt Flynn and he commented that among people that would know such things, they considered Matt Flynn "the best back-up Quarterback in the NFL".

Well - of course I sort of took this with a grain of salt because we all know that the truth tends to stretch a little with homey announcers. Such as JJ Hardy being one the the best fielding Shortstops in the majors (more on that later).

WELL - I gotta say I was impressed last night!

I was also impressed on just how inept our Special Teams unit is but that has never been a surprise.

But lost in all the Packer news is the Brewers. They got a fantastic deam and a blockbuster trade and ESPN suggested that this trade just put the Brewers in the World Series hunt.

Zack Greinke joins Gallardo and Marcum as the right handers on the staff with Wold Wolf and Narveson (who both finished very strong) as the lefties.

Greinke is the 2009 AL CY Young winner who went off his meds last year (Social Anxiety Disorder) because he hated playing for a perennial loser (Kansas City) and is excited to Come to Milwaukee.

He is no Don Sutton and is a WONDERFUL pitcher who starts 30+ games every year!

Brewer have an actual contending Starting staff.

Here is something Google-licious. Google now has 5.5 millions books online and you can search how many times a certain word has been used in literature since like 1820.

For instance - the word GREEN. I figured green was a pretty hot word lately.  Here is the results.

It's all I have for today - I'm off this week so probably shorty blogs because I don't have copious amounts of coffee in me!

Be careful this afternoon - drizzle and a few inches of snow.
