The special edition of the Brewers podcast features for an extended interview with former Brewers general manager Doug Melvin, the architect behind the 2008 team celebrating its 10th anniversary. Thanks in large part to his midseason acquisition of CC Sabathia, the Brewers snapped a 26-year postseason drought and won the National League wild card that season. Melvin talks about the machinations behind the trade -- including the other team that thought they had its own Sabathia trade lined up. He also discusses the other maneuvers during the 2008 season (including acquiring Salomon Torres), the controversial non no-hitter, the team's decision to fire manager Ned Yost in September, the memorable final week of the season and the legacy of the 2008 team leading into the 2011 playoff run and beyond.

Latroy Hawkins suffered an injury this week. Jack and I discuss whether this injury is real, or if it's more along the lines of Jeff Suppan's "sore neck" (aka an injury invented to give an old pitcher some time to regroup). We talk about some of the reasons to be optimistic about the Brewers pitching staff, including another quality start from Randy Wolf (ERA 3.95), and more solid work from Yovanni Gallardo (ERA 3.07). Plus, Minor League news with an update on Chris Capuano, and his possible promotion to AAA, and an introduction to Wily Peralta, one of the Brewers top young arms. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=peralt001wil We also talk about the complete awesomeness of Greg Zaun's website: http://www.greggzaun.com/ Before you click on that link, be prepared to rock out to some Rush. Perhaps, that's what Doug Melvin liked about the Z-Man. Also Greg Zaun's line of golf pants: http://stungolf.com/product.cfm Yes, the picture of the man in pink golf pants is in fact Greg Zaun.
