I was looking back and I saw this post where I was complaining about gas prices…

So let’s compare:
Northeast Wisconsin: 2004 – $2.16; 2008 – $3.84
Southeast Wisconsin: 2004 – $2.15; 2008 – $3.99
Chicago: 2004 – $2.18; 2008 – Up to $4.50

Now I hope for under $3.25!

One year ago today, the Brewers traded Carlos Lee to the Rangers for four players. Let’s look and see how the trade has fared for both teams.

• Texas Rangers
• Carlos Lee: Now playing for Houston.
• Nelson Cruz: Don’t hear about him much.

• Milwaukee Brewers
• Kevin Mench: Part of the LF tandem.
• Laynce Nix: On the DL
• Francisco Cordero: All-Star Closer
• Julian Cordero: Who?

I’d say the Brewers got the better end of the trade.
