Lost in the elation of yesterday's win was a single moment in the game that really pissed me and other like minded Brewers fans off. With the Brewers up five runs in the eighth inning and K-Rod due to bat at the top of the inning the Brewers called upon a pinch hitter. The hitter chosen by Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was Casey McGehee. Casey McGehee took about two pitches before hitting a foul pop-up that the catcher caught for the out. As Casey McGehee headed back to the dugout he was treated to a chorus of boos from the crowd at Miller Park. #areyouseriousbro I am not here to defend the season of Casey McGehee.

One-Hoppers: NLDS Game Three: Milwaukee's Road Woes Continue by Larry Granillo

Via Baseball Prospectus  |  October 05, 2011
Saturday and Sunday saw the Milwaukee Brewers looking like World Series contenders. Ryan Braun was 6-for-8 in two games, while Prince Fielder was 3-for-8. Yovani Gallardo pitched a gem on Saturday, and a strong offense bailed out a pedestrian outing from co-ace Zack Greinke on Sunday. With that kind of talent playing at that high a level, Milwaukee's visit to Phoenix and Chase...

Prince Fielder said on the eve of the Milwaukee Brewers' National League Division Series opener with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Miller Park that perhaps the biggest mistake he made going into his first postseason appearance in 2008 was being too amped up. His goal heading into Saturday? "Try to be real cool," he said Friday. "As cool as possible." Fielder...

PHOENIX -- In Games 1 and 2 of the NL Division Series between the Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks, intentional walks -- whether real or proposed -- factored prominently into both Milwaukee wins.

LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN;FUN-LOVING ANTICS MAKE BREWERS UNIQUE IN BASEBALL POSTSEASON

Suddenly, the Milwaukee Brewers are America's Team. Or at least America's Goofball Team. With their raucous, frat house team spirit, their growing collection of identifiable personalities and their small-market franchise roots, the Brewers have emerged as the anti-Yankees and anti-Phillies of this baseball postseason. Among the latest to jump aboard the beer wagon is ESPN...
