Writing in the afternoon is hard. So many distractions. The Peoria Javelinas, home to several Brewer prospects, begin play in the Arizona Fall League today, at 2:35 Central time (I think?). At any rate, if you're lurking this afternoon and looking for something to do, odds are they're playing. ...

Good morning everyone,
Things are a little crazy around Mug HQ this morning, so the Mug is going under dachshund delay. I think there's a window when I should be able to write this afternoon.
See you then!

Every Monday, I'm going to be summarizing the handful of Brewers prospects participating in the Hawaii Winter League and, starting later this week, the Arizona Fall League. In the former, the Brewers players are on the West Oahu CaneFires , and in the latter they're members of the Peoria ...

The final paragaph of Mostly Harmless , the final book in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series:
In spite of having taken what he regarded as an extremely positive piece of action, the Grebulon leader ended up having a very bad month after all. It was pretty much the same as ...

Hey, if nothing else, we outlasted the Cubs, right?
But we can do better! We can push the series back to Philly, find out if CC has anything left in the tank, and--most importantly of all--make me considerably poorer in my effort to see every possible postseason game. (Yeah!)

Yesterday, the NL Central was in pretty dire straits: although it boasted two of its teams in the 2008 postseason, both of them were down two games to none in a best-of-three series. One was the Cubs, winners of 97 games in the regular season --- the best in the NL, second only to the ...

Tonight was probably the first night that I've ever understood how home-field advantage is pretty important, because those fans were awesome for us.

The must-winniest game in the last quarter-century of Brewers baseball starts at 5:37 CT. Not 5:36, not 5:38, 5:37.
That reminds me: The most annoying thing about my two days at Citizen's Bank Park was that, before each game, the PA guy told everybody to stand up and wave their rally ...

I'll put up a proper Game Thread this
evening, but there should be plenty to talk about
as we rev up for--finally!--a MUST WIN game. Here's some stuff from the official site: The Brewers are one of *four* 0-2 teams hoping to buck some ...
Wes Helms: The Marlins and Brewers Thank You
"Marlins agreed to terms with infielder Wes Helms on a two-year, $1.8 million contract through 2010."
No truth to the rumors that Attanasio kicked in $500k of that to make sure Helms would keep facing the Phillies and Mets late in the season.

Brantley completes Sabathia deal
Nothing really new here, I think it's been pretty clear for a while that Brantley would be selected as the PTBNL.
Haudricourt finally confirms.

Corey Hart is slumping. There are no signs it's getting better, and with him in the 6-hole, especially when Counsell is in the lineup, 6-7-8-9 reminds one of the Giants offense.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Do we bench the All-Star to try to jump-start a ...

This isn't where I'd hoped we'd be on Friday, but it's where we are, so let's make the best of it. Game 1 Win Probability Graph Game 1 BR Box Score Game 2 Win Probability Graph Game 2 BR Box Score Ok, any idiot could write a gloom-and-doom Mug at this point, dismiss the Brewer season and ...

Today's game is the equivalent of a 1-1 pitch, a real tipping point. Lose and the Brewers' backs are against the wall, needing to win out to advance. Win and they're looking at only needing to win two of three with two home games coming up. Did I mention who's starting?
The lineup:

KL's internet is down, and I've got a ton of work to do before heading out to Game 2 later this afternoon (I know, I know, don't feel TOO sorry for me).
So, consider this your pre-game open thread. Anything interesting on the Interwebs--throw it in the comments for all to see.
Thanks!

Okay, I'm reasonably convinced by now that this
is indeed actually happening. The Brewers are in the
playoffs and will, sometime around 2 PM CT this afternoon, actually take part in their first postseason game since 1759. There's very little new to ...
