The Brewer Nation - Well I'm on my way...

So have we finally seen enough? Wait...wrong question. We definitely have. Allow me to rephrase... So...have they finally seen enough? Of course the "they" in the revised question refers to Milwaukee Brewer Manager Ken Macha and General Manager Doug Melvin. And whatever might I be talking about when I ask if enough of it has been seen? That's a simple answer as well...

Big inning lifts Milwaukee

On Liriano, Swarzak, and the Bullpen

The release comes in the wake of the reliever’s 15 miserable appearances that left him with a 7.79 ERA. Mike Burns has been promoted from triple-A Nashville to take Julio’s roster spot. I’ll admit that on December...

Marlins Musings - I'll See your Julio and Raise you a Penn

There have been some brutal pitching performances on display in LandShark Stadium this week.  2 days after Jorge Julio ruined the Brewer's night, Hayden Penn matched him and put the Marlins so far behind the 8 ball it was ridiculous.  Yea, maybe it wasn't all Penn's fault, as West wasn't sharp (pitching only 4.1 innings) and the Marlins committed 2 errors in...
