Zach Greinke to the....Brewers?

This off-season continues to amaze.

If this off-season was a new girlfriend, she would text you before your 2nd date to ask if the restaurant you're taking her to that night is fancy or not.
"Why?" you would ask.
"Because I need to know whether to wear my new low-cut dress or my Tim Lincecum jersey."

If this off-season was a Christmas present it would be a gift shaped exactly like a DVD but when you open it, it would be a blank DVD box with two plane tickets to Hawaii stuck inside.

Adrian Gonzalez leaves the division
Jayson Werth signs with a non-contender
Carl Crawford stays in the American League
Cliff Lee spurns the Yankees....yes, this could be bad for the Giants, but at the same time, the Phillies got worse in an area they needed help (offense) and better in an area where they didn't need help (boring white guys who pitch well).

And now Zach Greinke is dealt, not to the Yankees or Rangers or Cardinals or some other team that won more than 75ish games last season, but to the Brewers.

The media is shocked. Was anyone talking up this potential Greinke-to-the-Brewers thing before it happened? Nobody saw Lee or Werth coming and Crawford was a minor shock. What's next? Is Adrian Beltre going to play in Japan?

I'm going to really regret this post when we play Milwaukee in the first round of the playoffs, the Phillies in the NLCS, and the Red Sox in the World Series, and then the Nationals in the Post-World-Series commemorative softball game. And then the Chiba Lotte Marines in the International Cup.
