So here we are

Bear with us BCB fans (all two of you), as we try for the umpteenth time to manage an up to date, accurate, state of Wisconsin sports blog. We're hopefully adding some writers to the site to give it a fresh prospective. Hopefully that helps in actually posting more than once every month. Only time will tell.

It's a funny time here in Wisconsin. Typically, devoting nearly all of my attention to the Packers in September wouldn't be funny, it'd be the norm, even when the Pack was 4-12 in 2005. But this year, the Milwaukee Brewers, the Brewers, were in the thick of a pennant chase in the NL Central. That's right, were in the thick of a pennant chase. Sitting 3.5 games behind the Cubs with 7 games left, there's technically enough time to wipe the deficeit away, but it's next to impossible. The Cubs magic number sits at 4. Unless the Cubs tank it in proportions that would be epic even for their sorry franchise, Ned Yost will have masterminded one of the worst fades over the months of July, August and September. I can't be the only one who felt as though the Central would be taken by the Cubs even when the Crew had a 5.5 game lead in mid-July. It's a real shame as the Brewers have as much talent as almost any team in the NL. I remain convinced that had Yost not been the manager this version of the Brewers would already have the division locked up.

The only thing I can think of that would be worse at this moment is if the Brewers don't fire Yost in the offseason and get themselves a manager who doesn't almost single handedly blow 10 games a year with bone head moves. Bringing Yost back for next season would be a major league buzzkill going into the season.

And that's what makes this funny...the Green Bay Packers are 3-0 and atop the NFC North. No one would have picked them to be 3-0 at this point without being horribly ridiculed. Consider September 23, 2007 the official "changing of the guard" in this state, as Uncle Brett Favre is poised to shatter Dan Marino's all time NFL TD record in the HumpMe Dome, or the worst standing venue in professional sports. Crazy, we'll keep you up to snuff with insight from here on forward (at least that's what we're telling ourselves).
