ended today with Game 4 of the NLDS, and
for good reason. Sheets knew he almost certainly had worn a Milwaukee uniform for the last time. "Never say never," said Sheets. "Cirillo ...
Eddie Bajek has cautioned that his projected Elias
rankings may not be perfect. However, it's the closest
thing we've got as Eddie is the only person to publicly reverse-engineer the rankings. With that, a look at the NL starters : ...
I'll start off by establishing the fact that
I am a Sheets-apologist... I don't remember another player
in Brewers' history who has created a polar opposite of fan reaction. I don't see any middle ground. Either fans love him, or they look at him as a ...
Trust me—this is how God wants it.
At the season's outset, 18 THT-ities submitted their
preseason predictions. Now that the year's over, let's see
how we did and rank us. The ranking system is easy - if you predict a team comes in first and the come in fifth, that's four points. If they come in third, that's two points. Low score ...

In addition to the interview below with Jeff
Sackmann of Brew Crew Ball, I'd like to alert
readers to check out a copy of Wednesday's Sports Weekly, usually found in WaWa, Barnes & Noble, etc, and published by USA Today. I've got a small blurb in ...
Let's collect some a few postmortem Mets articles
floating around this morning. Ken Davidoff suggests the Mets
patch up their bullpen with Francisco Rodriguez . It'd be an obvious overreaction, and would ignore past history of big ...
The Milwaukee Brewers got exactly what they wanted
with the acquisition of C.C. Sabathia back in early
July. Needing another arm to compliment Ben Sheets, Sabathia was likely more than the team even anticipated by going 11-2 with an ERA of 1.65 in 17 starts. The last of the 11 wins came this ...

from an injury, and the Milwaukee Brewers fell back

Interim manager Dale Sveum told us this afternoon
that left-hander CC Sabathia will start Wednesday night on
short rest for the second consecutive time. Sabathia pitched Saturday in Cincinnati on only three days of rest. The starting rotation is in ...
Speculation is that CC is going to pitch
tomorrow on 3 days rest, and then pitch again
on Sunday on 3 days rest if necessary. That would be three straight starts on 3 days rest, if you're scoring at home. Discuss. Better to have one CC start on full ...
Somebody lit a fire under Ben Sheets last
night. Literally . With the Brewers off on Monday,
Sheets was one of many residents who had to evacuate the downtown Milwaukee high-rise he lives in after a kitchen fire in another unit threatened his condo . ...
I am not sure I agree with Steve
on this one. I don't really think Cash is
the answer, although I do think no GM can thrive in this job unless they are given full control, which Cashman was told he would have but does not really seem to be the case.

were looking for to ignite their playoff hopes. Right-hander Ben Sheets had to exit his Downtown home around 5:30 p.m. Monday when a small kitchen fire in a unit ...
Which is preferable to the Cubs - a
Brewers wild card (and first-round series against the Dodgers)
or a Mets/Phillies wild card (and a first-round series against the Phillies/Mets)? All of the teams have bats, but pitching wise: 1. The Brewers are ...

course," Millen said. "It's a little bump. ... It's
not like you have to panic. You don't have to make wholesale changes. You don't have to do all that stuff. It's all right there." [ Fanhouse ] ...
Goldy said it so well, I don't have
to. Yes, this is the official "Brad thinks the
Brewers are dead: 2.0." Hopefully it works as good as the previous version. Seriously, what the hell is going on here? Is this franchise cursed? When is Melvin gonna ...
It’s not often we actively root against an
athlete, no matter how outrageous or annoying they are
(see Schilling, Curt). This is certainly the case with Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets. No, we don’t like him. He pitches for the Brewers and ...

make two more starts over the final 10 games
