Do we know which MLB teams will be sellers yet?
We're a little over seven weeks away from the trade deadline, and something alarming is becoming apparent: we really don't know which teams are going to be sellers next month. Last year, the A's made the playoffs after being 6.5 games out of the wild card race on June 15th and five games under .500. If you use that as the barometer, two-thirds of the teams in the league...
Gruman: Brewers must stick with Weeks through slump
What to do with the struggling second baseman?
Rickie Weeks is mired in another prolonged slump, and the whole state is talking about it. There's some in this town that would like to chase ever player who has a bad week, but Weeks has had a bad month and a half and deserves to be talked about.
But that doesn't change the fact Weeks is going to be Milwaukee's starting...

Rickie Weeks still Rickie Weeks
Last night Rickie Weeks went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout. If that hit had been an extra base hit, it would have been the most Rickie Weeks line ever. 1-for-4 with a walk isn't a sexy line and it's not very fun to watch, but it's good and it's valuable. It's a .400 On Base Percentage and it's what Rickie Weeks does. If you understand that and why it...
Brewers Wednesday: Weeks drops in batting order
MILWAUKEE -- With 31 games and 114 at-bats under his belt, Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks is still trying to get going.
And while the Brewers are going to continue to stay patient with the former All-Star, manager Ron Roenicke dropped Weeks from fifth to seventh in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Texas.
"It wasn't really a conversation," Roenicke...

Extra work pays dividends for Brewers' Weeks
MILWAUKEE -- Rickie Weeks was frustrated, so he picked up the phone and called Brewers hitting coach Johnny Narron.
He doesn't usually like to get early work in unless it's after a day off, but Weeks met Narron at the park at 12:30 and went to work in the cage and then on the field during batting practice.
It's hard to know if his diligent efforts paid off Tuesday night...

Weeks simply needed health to end slump
MILWAUKEE -- Rickie Weeks will never fully admit it because he's as tough as nails.
Though he had every reason to use his gruesome ankle injury as an excuse for a forgettable first half of 2012 in which many called for him to be yanked from the lineup or even sent to Triple-A, he didn't say one word about it.
But in reality his ankle wasn't healthy in the first half...

2011's most disappointing MLB all-stars
We're less than three weeks away from this year's All-Star Game in Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium, and with that, I've been thinking a bit about the 2011 game at Chase Field in Arizona. The National League won last year 5-1, their second straight win after losing seven games in a row and 12 of 13 (thanks for the tie in 2002, Bud!). With an All-Star selection come...
As The Weeks Turns
Rickie Weeks is having a rough season. (Wait, that's not right.)
Rickie Weeks is having a really bad season. (You know what? That doesn't work for me either.)
Rickie Weeks is having the worst f*cking season you could ever f*cking imagine and it really f*cking sucks. (Much better.)
I'm sure it's been very hard for Rickie Weeks because it's not like he's been...
WHO NEEDS A GLOVE?
Brewers fan catches bat under his armpit
Check out the video.
A fan used his armpit to catch Rickie Weeks flying bat in the bottom of the eighth inning of the Brewers vs. Padres game.
Weeks doesn't anticipate dropoff in 2012
After winning a franchise-record 96 games a year ago, all eyes are watching to see if Milwaukee Brewers can repeat as National League Central champions.
But after losing Prince Fielder, who anchored the lineup for the last six-plus seasons, is that a realistic goal?
Second baseman Rickie Weeks sure thinks so.
"You know, a lot of times people look at Prince not being here...
