Ok, not really. But I heard a sneak preview of the Journal-Sentinel’s season grades when Tom Haudricourt was on the radio yesterday, and I just knew I’d end up writing this post. Sure enough, I read the article this morning, and here I am.
To be fair, it seems very difficult ...

A few thoughts:
You can see why this never was aired on television. Those undertones are really overtones.
Braun is a slightly better actor than Brett Favre.
Marisa Miler isn’t much better.
Is it so corny that it’s funny, or is it just bad? I think it’s kind ...

Well, that’s a wrap. I was at the game Sunday, and seeing them get eliminated wasn’t as bad as I feared. It was great to be at a Brewer playoff game. The atmosphere was awesome, even after the Brewers fell behind. The Brewers’ first playoff appearance in 26 years sure didn’t ...

That was incredibly fun. The team played well, looked good and actually won a playoff game. I honestly couldn’t believe what I was watching in the first couple innings. They were laying off close pitches, working the count and taking walks. They frustrated Jamie Moyer ...

Alright. Down 2-0. The Brewers have to win today to keep their season alive, but they also have to win for this reason. It just would not be right if the Brewers made the playoffs and I did not attend a playoff game at Miller Park. I have tickets to Sunday’s game, which ...

Not a great game yesterday, but after a couple innings you could pretty much see how it was going to go. The Brewers just weren’t going to get more than a run or two off Hamels the way he was pitching, and as it turned out they got none. Yo’s control was a [...]

It’s been just about impossible to find any national writer or “expert” who isn’t picking the Phillies, but lo and behold! Take a gander at BP’s postseason odds! They give the Brewers a 54.8% chance of winning the series. Additionally, they give ...

I’m still in a haze from Sunday. To be honest, it still doesn’t seem real to me.
I’ll set aside one paragraph to pat myself on the back a bit. With twelve games left I said the Brewers would need seven wins to reach the playoffs. That’s exactly what ...

I did not post this weekend because I was in La Crosse. We were out Saturday night, and I kept telling everyone how nervous I was for the game Sunday. Breakfast Sunday morning was brutal… I was beyond nervous.
We watched the game at my brother’s house, and I was, ...

First of all, big thanks to Andy for calling me with an extra ticket for the game tonight. Which means, yes, I was there again! When Rickie Weeks hit that home run, I think I high-fived about 20 people and yelled, “I LOVE RICKIE WEEKS!!!” about 15 times.
What a ...

ESPN anchors at different points yesterday pronounced Yo’s name “Joe-va-nee Ya-lar-doe” and “Yovani Garrardo.” It’s not like he’s a no-name guy; he’s one of the best young pitchers in baseball. If Yo played for a big-market team, ...

Hate me if you must, as I would understand your jealousy… because I WAS ALSO AT THIS GAME!!! UNBELIEVABLE! Dan said afterwards, “Did you just see the two biggest Brewer moments in the last 15 years?” I believe I have, and I might even say in the last 20 or 25 ...

Last night’s game was just awesome to attend. Though it wasn’t particularly well-played, it was close and exciting, and obviously ended on the extremely high note. The atmosphere was different from any Brewers game I’ve been to. This was really the first game the Brewers ...

We have finally reached the home stretch of this absurd Milwaukee Brewers season. Since I declared that 7-5 over their last 12 games would get the Brewers in the playoffs, they have gone 2-4. Yuck. Many gave up on the team, particularly after the awful loss to the Cubs in the ...

Time for an old cause-effect.
Cause: I discovered a cool web site.
Effect: We now have photos on our About page.
How ’bout those two cool cats?
Oh, and also, OMG WE’RE ONE GAME BACK!!!@#!

Sorry for putting that lame song in your head for the rest of the day, but I couldn’t help myself. I borrowed the title of this post from Sam at Brewerfan just because I liked it so dern much. Hope he doesn’t mind.
Fellow Brewer fans, we now find ourselves in the ...

1.5 games left with six home games to go… Well, crap. Looks like I’m going to have to follow this thing to the end.

The Brewers aren’t just losing lately. They’re losing in the most heartbreaking ways imaginable.
Also, thank God Rickie Weeks hasn’t been playing, what with his single, triple, walk and homer today in his first start in six games. They really dodged a bullet ...

I was going to avoid posting for awhile for my own mental health, but after Dan’s pleasant post I might as well add this gem.
