Sorry I haven’t had a chance to post…and I got to make this one quick. Here are some of the rumors I’ve heard lately:
1. Doug Melvin is not interested in extending his GM contract past 2009. I saw this in the Sports section of one of the Madison papers lying around the ...

All good things must come to an end.
The Brewers could not figure out Joe Blanton Sunday
afternoon, and lost the fourth and final game of the NLDS, 6-2. Brewers’ pitcher Jeff Suppan gave up a home run to the first hitter of the afternoon, ...
Once again faced with elimination, the Brewers pull out a 4-2 …er, 4-1 win Saturday night against the Phillies, now trailing in the NLDS by two games to one.
For once, Milwaukee’s hitters showed some patience…and it paid off. Both Mike Cameron and Bill Hall drew walks to ...

RE: Today’s game
Dear fans–
It is with heavy heart that I cannot be at today’s game. As someone who could not attend any of the 1982 games due to ...

A five-run 2nd inning was all that Brett Myers and the Phillies would need to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 NLDS, as Philly dropped the Brewers for the second straight day, this time by a score of 5-2.
CC Sabathia was obviously exhausted…he lasted just 3 2/3rds innings, gave up 6 ...

The Brewers released their 25-man roster for their NLDS series against the Phillies on JSOnline.com earlier today.
Ben Sheets was left off.
Sheets will be accompanying the team, and will get to wear his Brewers’ uniform, but is out due to a muscle tear. Game #1 starter Yovani Gallardo ...

The Brewers and Dale Sveum now face the unenviable task of deciding which 25 players will be on their playoff roster…among the issues:
1. Ben Sheets ‘ spot–Sheets was on the 25-man roster before September 1, but if he’s too hurt to pitch, who would take his spot? In ...

The 2008 Milwaukee Brewers are the NL Wild Card champions! Sunday’s win, paced by another phenomenal performance by CC Sabathia , coupled with a Ryan Braun game-winning homer–and a Mets’ loss to the Marlins–mean the Brewers’ first postseason appearance since 1982!

The Brewers and Ben Sheets couldn’t get it done Saturday…so Sunday’s game is now equivalent to a Game 7 for the Brewers…a win, and they are guaranteed at least a play-in game; a loss, and they are at the mercy of the Mets needing to lose to make the playoffs.
CC ...

It took awhile, but with the Brewers’ 5-1 win over the Cubs Friday night–coupled with the Mets’ loss to the Marlins–the Brewers now have complete control of them going to the playoffs with just two games left. Even better–a win on either Saturday or Sunday ...

In the last series of the regular season, the Brewers find themselves tied with the Mets for the NL Wild Card spot and having to win against their old nemesis, the Cubs, to make the postseason. The Brewers are 5-8 against the Cubs this year, but were handed a 4 game sweep by the Cubs at Miller ...

Yovani Gallardo ’s return was a success. But the Pirates’ Zach Duke had one of his best outings of the year on Thursday night as well, as Duke only allowed a lone run in the 3rd inning…and the Pirates countered quickly with a solo shot by Steve Pierce in the top of the 4th.

CC Sabathia comes through again!
B-52 went 7 IP on just three days rest and fanned 11 en route to a 4-2 win. Coupled with the Cubs extra inning win over the Mets, the Brewers and Mets are now tied for the NL Wild Card with both teams having just four games left.
Ironically, the Brewers only ...

…the Crew gained no ground in the Wild Card race, despite a thrilling tie-breaking home run from Prince Fielder in the bottom of the 9th inning, as the Mets pounded the Cubs earlier Tuesday.
The Brewers kept taking and giving away the lead all evening–after jumping out to a 2-0 ...

Cubs’ manager Lou Pinella has set his rotation for the remainder of the year…and the Brew Crew will not face neither ace Carlos Zambrano nor #2 starter Rich Harden, as Pinella is opting to rest both for the NLDS. The Cubs will send RHP Ryan Dempster (17-6, 2.99) on Friday, LHP Ted ...

Thank you, Atlanta!
Almost all optimism had leaked out of Brewers’ nation…not to mention the Brewers’ clubhouse. Everyone realized that if the Brewers lost (again) on Sunday, and the Mets has won (again) on Sunday, that the Brewers would be 4 games back in the loss column ...

Okay…I just saw the line-up for Sunday’s game and I have a couple gripes to get off my chest:
1. Why is Rickie Weeks ‘ batting 7th, behind J.J. Hardy and Corey Hart ? Weeks’ OBP for the past 30 days, .393, is 4th best among regulars and ahead of Hardy’s .361 and ...
