TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers
It's been more than two weeks, over a fortnight, since the world awoke to a new year. And though New Year's day is really just another day we're forced to trudge through in this harsh and unforgiving hellscape called "life", the beginning of the calendar can serve as the origin point for significant personal change and improvement.
In 2011, I started a business. I met my incredible now-girlfriend. I got paid unemployment checks to NOT write for a failing company I grew to loathe being part of. Death From Above 1979 reunited, and I saw them in Chicago. The Packers won the Super Bowl and Brewers had an unforgettable season. Still, I look back on 2011 and I think it--for the most part--sucked maj dog-dick. Sure, it looked good, on paper, but I'm still a fish-lipped geek without heath insurance who's living in a ****** 2 BR upper on the Southside of Milwaukee. I have only 145 Twitter followers... almost all those are of the fake hot chick virus robot accoun...

Brewers GM on Prince Fielder: “We’ve Had to Move On”
Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in a little more than a month and Prince Fielder still has not signed a free agent deal with any MLB team. Some Milwaukee Brewers‘ fans are hoping that as long as teams drop out of the Fielder sweepstakes and he remains on the open market, there is a glimmer of hope that he might return to Milwaukee even if it is just for a...
Joe Lemire: Fielder playing waiting game but Rangers are still the best fit
That is the question for Prince Fielder, the top remaining free-agent on the market. There is a clear landing spot, writes Joe Lemire, but another matter has to be resolved first.
Can the Rangers Afford BOTH Prince Fielder and Yu Darvish?
It may be the middle of winter, but things are really starting to heat up in Texas. I, of course, mean that figuratively, as in the rumor mill is heating up... not the weather. Wait, what?

The Nationals continue to be in the Prince Fielder sweepstakes, although the club is not willing to give the free-agent first baseman a 10-year deal like the one that first baseman Albert Pujols got from the Angels, according to a baseball source.
