Looking for some idle speculation on the first Brewer-free Sunday afternoon since February? Here's something to play with.
Because of Jeff's brilliant work over at Minor League Splits, we can take any Brewer above rookie ball's minor league stats and get their MLE...

Remember when Ryan Braun was whining about being beaned by Jeff Karstens? Do you remember who he blamed for the incident? It wasn't Jeff Karstens, it was Joe Kerrigan. And no one could possibly forget Jason Kendall's insane, angered rantings directed towards Karstens after...
Gallardo dominates but Gagne blows the victory
Yovani Gallardo made his 2008 debut for the Brewers on Sunday and picked up right where he left off in 2007. Gallardo faced the Reds on Sunday and went seven innings and struck out four batters while only giving up four hits including a solo home run to Edwin Encarnacion which was...

Sheets is Sheets and Gagne is well…not the Gagne of old
The Brewers lost to the Cardinals on Saturday, 5-3. Although Eric Gagne didn't blow another save, he did take the loss, his second of the season, after allowing the Cardinals to load the bases and score two in the top of the ninth. Gagne walked one and gave up three hits in his...

After getting hammered for my NL MVP pick I needed a few days off to regroup. Now I'm back to give my top 5 list for NL Rookie of the Year.
1. Geovany Soto (CHC): .284 BA, 13 HR, 47 RBI
Soto has been a huge upgrade at the catcher position over Michael Barrett and Jason Kendall...

Milwaukee Brewers Are a Puzzle Difficult to Understand

I’ve been wondering about the Brewers situation at catcher for some time. Given the huge moves we made a couple days ago, sending Hardy to the Minors, designating Hall and bringing up Escobar, I’m even more puzzled.
I was a big Jason Kendall fan when he first signed...

Brewers take a gift from the Baby Bears
Before I get to the game today, I have to thank Cubs' fans for again displaying no class and showing why no one outside of Chicago likes you people. In the bottom of the sixth on a ball hit to Ryan Braun in left field, Cubs' "fans" threw food and drinks in Braun&...

Why do the Pirates always suck? The answer is simple, it's the Draft. I took a snapshot of the Pirates first 5 rounds of draft picks from 2008 and 1990 and what you find is nearly horrifying.~Of the 80 players the Pirates have drafted in the first five rounds from 1990 to 2008...

I thought waiting a day to talk about this series would take away some of the sting but it hasn't. It's simply inexcusable to lose a series to the Reds at home. I'm not trying to take away from anything that they did because they played some really good ball, but the Brewers...
