In 2005, the Milwaukee Brewers were 81-81 and we thought it was an accomplishment. The 2007 Brewers, freshly eliminated from playoff contention, are a Chris Young and a Jake Peavy victory, respectively from being 81-81. That's not an accomplishment, it's a joke. To quote the genius Ned Yost, "A really bad joke." Quite honestly, Ned Yost has not done a single thing to warrant another year at the

Still 2 games behind the Cubs with 3 to play. To say the window is closing is an understatement. As much as I love Brauny, he looked clueless in the field yesterday. The team had 5 errors. He had 3. No team will win a game with 5 errors. If the Cubs win tonight, it's truthfully, do or die. In fact, they have left themselves zero room for error now.How 'Bout a Blue Out?How great would Miller Park

No, Phil Cuzzi wasn't working home plate tonight, but he let it get to this last night by lofting his gayard friend Tony La Russa a softball 'warning.' It's tough to challenge La Russa's credentials as a MLB manager, but he sure is a douche bag. Face the facts, La Russa has Cuzzi in his back pocket and by constantly being able to drill Brewers hitters and be issued warnings, the Brewers were

This is exactly what MVP candidates are supposed to do. Prince Fielder is literally trying to single handedly club the Brewers into the postseason. Since returning home to Miller Park, Princey has clobbered three dingers. A three-run moonshot on Monday, and two, two-run blasts on Tuesday. He became suddenly vocal about bettering a number of his father's numbers so it shuts his dad (Cecil) up. The

I realize the Brewers are 5 games behind in the Wild Card standings, but the Phillies and Padres are knotted at the top and the Padres barely have a team any more. If the Phils lose some games and the Brewers take care of the Pads at Miller Park it's a possibility. The Crew closes the regular season with 4 games against San Diego....let's continue the trend of Wisconsin professional sports teams

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.

You win Ned. You have driven me to not watch or pay attention in any form to your baseball team until this road trip is over. I remain convinced that you'll get swept by Colorado and as I post this your team blew a 3-0 lead in one inning. ONE INNING AND IT TURNED INTO A 5-3 HOLE! I realize a lot of Brewers fans who glance at the standings will say that Yost is doing just fine, the Crew is in

That's what I expect the Brewers record to be upon returning home to the only place Ned Yost believes in winning baseball games after this weekend. Yeah Ned, I think your team will get swept by the Rockies and slug one out vs. the Astros. If history is any indication, it will be the first game of the series vs. that Astros that you win. Then on Saturday you'll build a 5-1 lead and lose 6-5.

The trade deadline is roughly 330 minutes away and it's become painfully evident that the Brewers have many holes to fill. The aquisition of Scott Linebrink last week would have been very helpful, if it weren't for the fact that much like every other reliever in Milwaukee's bullpen, Linebrink is suffering from a tired arm. I have no doubt he'll be good for them once the playoffs roll around (

I swear, Ned Yost just doesn't believe in winning on the road. I'm convinced he goes home at night and tells himself that a team just doesn't need to show up in opposing stadiums. I've struggled to pinpoint how a team with one of the best records in the National League can be so futile on the road. I honestly believe it starts with management. The Brewers haven't been able to do anything in

Brian Anderson, I like you. For now. But can you please nip the jinxing the team crap ala Darron Sutton now before it's August which will become September and (hopefully) October? Exhibit number one, talking about how Yovani Gallardo has a scoreless inning streak of 18 2/3 going prior to taking the hill in the bottom of the seventh with a pitch count at 94.

Sorry for the delays on the posts wrapping up the home stand, I was a tad busy with Festa Italiana. Instead of rehashing the details of how Jimmy and I (and Trikes) once again put the screws to an opponent via a Sunday home game W, I thought I'd start a short list of things I'd like to see at Miller Park this season:1.

For the first time this season, myself, The Mayor and Papi all hit up the Crew game. Yes, we were all part of a slightly larger group on Opening Day Fest (ODF), but it's the first time it was just three of us at a game and we responded. A great game and even better series was enjoyed, beating the Rockies 4-3 and taking the series, 2-1. Go Crew! More importantly, Soup looked sharp and so did the

Brewers fans were greeted to a 10-6 drubbing by the Colorado Rockies to open the second half of the season. Worse yet, the Cubs won, 6-0 over the Houston Astros, shrinking the Crew's quickly melting lead in the division to 3.5 games. The starting pitching of this team is flat out no longer an assest. The team is 0-9 in Capuano's last 9 starts and his ERA after last night has ballooned to over

Been more than awhile since we've posted on here, but the time is nigh to focus on the Brew Crew, who sit 10 games above .500 and hold a 4.5 game lead on the surging Chicago Cubs at the All-Star break. Despite the Cubs absurd spending in the offseason to get to one game over .500 at the half way point, they remain the biggest threat to the Brew Crew's chances of winning the NL Central crown. That

In the case of the Republicans, they were getting spanked by Democrats. Fox was getting demoralized by ABC and CBS. But think about, the Fox Network having to resort to retreating just like its party of choice! HIGH-larious! What I mean by all of this is

The Brewers have been a major disappointment this year. A good deal of that has been in large part due to injuries, some of it has been the result of a team having far too high expectations placed on them by their city, but a lot of that has been because of one man. Ned Yost.Yost is arguably the worst manager in baseball. The mistakes that he makes, on a routine basis, are those you'd expect

Remember that song by Motley Crue that went "girls, girls, girls...long legs, burgandy lips?" Yeah, it was called 'Girls, Girls, Girls' and it was written about strip clubs and should have been playing when Ryan was getting a lap dance from a naughty police officer. Way to drop the ball Schwartz and hand Ryan a presumably non-alcoholic drink making him look like that creepy 50-year old guy

Forgive me if this week is less than my best work. If you were trying to watch your favorite program while your mother had a dozen former sorority sisters over upstairs, you'd be a little foggy and just relieved to be out of the house as well. Translation: Nasty hangover this morning. But probably not as bad as last Sunday, wink, wink, STAIRWELL! While I fail to see how this was the craziest

I hope my computer doesn't decide to up and not publish my musings this week. None too pleased doesn't quite describe how I felt after penning what I thought to be one of the best Hangover's since the AFL-NFL merger. But as the converse commercial has taught me, fall down seven times, get up eight. I'm also proud to proclaim The Hangover can now be viewed at our wonderful sister site,

For the first time in four years, there is legitimate hope in the city of Milwaukee when it comes to basketball.Not since the days when Glenn Robinson, Ray Allen and Sam Cassell made up the "Big Three" was there this much optimism circulating around the city. And for good reason, the Bucks are a good team.Larry Harris did his share of wheeling and dealing this offseason, and set this team up

The Panthers put together a good looking drive, aided by Ahmad Carroll. Carroll, stop me if you've heard this before, gets flagged for pass interference on Steve Smith. The Panthers take over inside the Green Bay 30.The Panthers continue to move inside the redzone, but the drive stalls and they cannot convert on third and short.

Okay, two things happend early that really disturbed me. Number one, what was David Martin doing on that fumble? Who was he looking at, who was he supposed to pick up and and why didn't he get out of Clifton's way? I don't get it, but anyway the Packers fumble. Carolina recovers inside the 20.Secondly, it's second down on the 8 yard line, someone explain to me why the Packers have lined up in a

KEYS TO THE GAME:Don't fall behind early. Carolina is built on taking the lead early and using the running game to shorten the game. Run the ball. If the Packers can establish a running game, odds of them falling behind dip dramitically. If not, they will be forced to pass the ball, which will all but eliminate the run and allow Carolina's ends to pin their ears back and rush Brett Favre.Win

We are just 20 days away from the Milwaukee Bucks 2005 exhibition season opener.

It was a pretty big night last night, and I'm not talking about sports. Last night featured a pretty big matchup between the Brewers and Cubs, but that's where my sports interest ended.Yeah, lets just say I got a lot of mileage out of the DVR, brought to you by Charter (just like my paycheck) as we saw the series premiere of My name is Earl, the season premier of Nip/Tuck, and how could we forget

OK, let me get this straight, Kevin Mathis just so happened to tear his ACL and MCL in practice yesterday and is lost for the season?

Man did the Eagles look bad last night. They just looked like they were going through the motions. The Falcons were jacked up for that game. It looked like they, especially Michael Vick, were playing at a different speed than the Eagles.Before we get into any thing else here, I want to touch on two conspiracy theories of mine.Number one, the "fight" last night between Kevin Mathis and Jeremiah

Slightly hovering over the panic button, my finger is itching to make a move. Can someone please explain to me how it is the Badgers offense (lead by John freaking Stocco) can put up 50+ points in two consecutive weeks and yet the Packers can only put 3 on the board against an average defense at best?It's frustrating, confusing, alarming, and just depressing. Packer fans two biggest concerns

Well I have to admit it's been quite a while since you've seen anything from me, but it feels good to be back.Are there any Packer fans who don't like Ted Thompson? Anyone? The only bad thing I can say about him as a GM is that I wish he was hired four years ago. Lets just review what he's done so far...Drafting Aaron Rodgers.If Mike Sherman is still the GM they don't draft him. They would take a

I am trying to hurry up and write this so I can go pick up season 2 of the OC on my lunch break, but anyway...The Packers locked Mike Sherman up to a two year extension. WHY? What has he done, and don't throw his record at me, over the last two years that makes you say "Yeah, we really need to keep this guy around."

I was going to do a lengthy Daily Brew today, recaping the weekend in sports and Summer Slam, but instead I won't. As you probably heard, 49er offensive lineman Thomas Herrion collapsed and died in the locker room yesterday. Herrion was 23 years old, and was in relatively good health for a man his size. A graduate of the University of Utah, Herrion had aspirations to go back to school and recieve

Randy Moss said that he has smoked pot in the past, and he "may" still do it. The biggest surprise here is that, at least according to him, he doesn't regularly smoke pot anymore.

In what will hopefully be a new weekly column, I am going to review at least one new record released each week. This week's selection was an easy one for me. As a life-long avid fan, I chose the new 311 album, Don't Tread on Me.DTOM is the band's ninth studio album (including the Greatest Hits 93-03 disc which featured two new songs) and shows a continued evolution by the group.

The Brewers finally snapped their losing streak yesterday with their 8-3 win over the Reds. The skid had reached 5 games, funny how it started at the same time as the wild card talk. The Brewers announced some interesting moves before the game. They announced that they have transfered Jeff Cirillo from the 15 day to the 60 day DL. This move probably unofficially announces the end of Jeff

The Packers kicked off their exhibition season last night with a 10-7 win over the Chargers. Here are a few things I took away from this game:1. The Offensive line needs some work, but lets not panic yet. They still have the foundation of the line in their three main anchors (Clifton, Flannigan and Tauscher) and they are very deep at those positions with Bedell, Wells and Barry all capable of

If this were wrestling, I'd be waiting for the sababtage and heel turn any moment now where Yost rips off the Brewers uniform and is fashionably sporting a Cardinals t-shirt.

Legendary manager Gene Mauch passed away last night. Mauch managed four teams to a combined 1,901 wins, 11th most all time, but Mauch will probably be most remembered for his losses. The monumental collapse his Phillies had in 1964, the ALCS loss to the Red Sox in 1986 after Dave Henderson's infamous homer off Donny Moore, and of course the collapse in 1982 when leading the series 2-0, the

Since returning from the All-Star break July 14, Geoff Jenkins has been on an absolute tear. Before the Break, Geoff was batting .258 with 9 home runs and 33 runs batted in. Not exactly the numbers you expect from a corner outfielder getting paid over $8 million per season. His season was going so bad that his averaged had even dipped down to .230 and he was benched against left handed

Let's start by wishing my dad a happy birthday today. (I won't disclose the age) Happy Birthday pops.The Brewers completely shocked me (and Mr. Fabos) last night and pulled out a close win in the late innings, only, yeah you guessed it Victor Santos pulled another no-decision. Look I realize I'm hard on the guy, and a lot of the time it's maybe unwarranted, but it's just not working. Whenever he

What's the sign of a good team? Closing games out. So where would that leave a team that runs the opposing starter out of the game in the second inning, gets back-to-back homers twice, has a five run lead three innings in, which eventually becomes a four run, then a two run, then one, and then blows the lead in the ninth. Or what about that team that gets runners on first and second with no one

I'm starting to get a little tired of the whole "I didn't know it was steriods," or "I didn't know what I was putting in my body" argument. Don't most of these guys have personal trainers? All of them have team trainers. Do I believe Rafael Palmeiro intentionally took steriods? Absolutely. The biggest question of all is where is Jose Canseco? He should be openly gloating, he was just

Another slow day in the sporting world. After telling us for weeks that they would match any offer to shooting guard Joe Johnson (ughhh, it hurts to say that name) the Suns have pulled off that stance and apparently have worked out a sign and trade deal with the Hawks. The Suns get Boris Diaw and two lottery protected first round picks, the Hawks get Johnson and Johnson gets to play point guard

So I managed to do it. I was in attendance for an even more disgusting loss on Thursday than the one I witnessed on Wednesday afternoon. For those of you keeping count, I have now run my season record to a paltry 6-9 and currently have a nice little 18 Brewers scoreless innings in attendance streak going. If, and I say if, the Crew gets blanked tonight when I'm there, I'm officially retiring from

Kind of a slow sporting day, the Brewers lost again last night, 3-0 to the Giants. How did they lose you ask, Victor Santos gave up a three-run bomb to pitcher, read that again, PITCHER Brad Hennessy. WTF? It was a legitimate shot too. How much longer can you trot that guy out to the mound. It's becoming like the Glendon Rusch experiment in 2003, only his era isn't quite as bad. Every time Santos

Ok, so I suffered through being at my first of three games in a row at The Keg yesterday afternoon, watching a miserable game of offensive ineptitude and a thoroughly embarrasing defensive performance. I've come to expect an error charged to Rickie Weeks almost every game, but Overbay and a wild pitch with a runner on third? Please. Anyway, hopefully I got the loss out of me because my season

Javon Walker announced late last night that he will indeed report to training camp. One Packers source said his contract was not reworked, but they are open to future discussions. There has to be something else going on that we are unaware of, otherwise the Packers officially made Drew Rosenhaus their bitch. Why would he all of a sudden give in and report with no new deal, and no promise of

The Brewers picked up another big win last night, and Rookie shortstop JJ Hardy is really starting to come around offensively. Where are all those "Bill Hall should start over JJ," or "Send JJ down to AAA" naysayers now? Hardy has been on an absolute tear as of late, he homered to give the Crew the lead on monday and then singled to give them the lead last night. His batting average has raised

Ok, so it's now no secret that JG is a large fan of the Oakland A's GM, Billy Beane, often referring to him as the smartest man in baseball. Now while I am in no way questioning his sports intelligence, I'd simply like to make a case for Milwaukee's own Doug Melvin as being mentioned in the same paragraph as Mr. Moneyball.In case you don't know by now, the Brewers jetisoned utility man Keith

Alright lets start with the obvious here, what the hell is Ned Yost doing calling for a squeeze play with one out and his pitcher at the plate? You're in the 4th so you've gotta assume you'll have more scoring opportunities in this game, there's already one out, Brady Clark (who already had two hits at that point) is on deck, there are two strikes, and possibly the worst hitting pitcher in

Ned Yost strikes again. You remember when Ned said he "needed" to see more from de la Rosa and others so he "didn't have" to overuse guys like Wise, Botallico and Santana? de la Rosa, Dana Eveland and at times even Justin Lehr have all looked very impressive lately, so what does Ned do yesterday? He goes with Julio Santana, the same Santana who has pitched in 6 of the last 9 games, but Ned

Not what I would call a ringing endorsement of Flip, I'll paraphrase it for you.

Am I the only one noticing that Ned Yost continues to catch a free pass in Milwaukee? This man is continually doing an average-to-bad managing job, and no one seems to care because he played for the 1982 Brewers.The way he has mis-handled the Jorge de la Rosa situation all season long, the way he would continually run his team out of scoring opportunities by sending guys like Brady Clark (it has

We're a little past the mid point of the season and the Brewers are currently 40-45, good enough for fourth place in the NL Central. This is about what I expected, give or take about 3 or 4 wins. They aren't going to catch the Cardinals and they aren't going to win the wild card, that being said here's what they should do.Trade Brady Clark. Clark has been a good story this year, batting .310 with

"I found baseball is a big number of small businesses. I'm worried about suites, the quality of our turf, which is not ideal, how we drive ticket sales, how we brand the team, better camera angles on television. I could go on and on.

To the seven readers we have, Fabos and myself included, it's been a while since I've lent my thoughts to this page. A move to Madison and starting a new job really took up a lot of my free time.

...Well not quite yet. But come June 7, the Crew owns the fifth pick in the 2005 MLB draft. Now I'm not claiming to be a guru on the MLB draft, not at all. Believe me, if I know over 15 guys that are drafted, I'm considering it a success. But I did a little research this year on some of the top prospects and I'll offer them up. The MLB draft is very unusual when compared to the other "big" sports

Josh Schwartz reads the Brew City Beat! At least parts of it. How else can a random fan of the show hit the bullseye on so many fronts? I'm not speaking about the couple "Bold Predictions" I made that actually came true.

It seems as though a radio station has deemed Justin adequate for employment. How did he get hired you ask? Thin applicant pool. But in all honesty, he's now got himself a job, which I do not, thus moving him above me on the pegboard.

Hoop Dreams was groundbreaking at the time for it's unconventional documentary style and for the way it exploited recruiting of young men and the way young inner city african americans are exploited.
