Michael Barrett Traded, Dan Wheeler to Close, Bronson Arroyo Skipped

Punchy Michael Barret has been traded. I guess when you get your ass kicked by a pitcher, the team loses all respect for ya. Houston is putting Dan Wheeler back into the Closer, whats up with that. And in Reds Camp, Bronson Arroyo is getting skipped on his next start. All that and more...
Gagne blows another save; Brewers swept in Houston
Quick review for those uninformed: Yovani Gallardo was lost for the year on Friday due to a torn ACL and the Brewers proceeded to blow two leads to the Astros Friday and Saturday night.
Ben Sheets took the mound for the Crew on Sunday in what seemed to be a must win for the team...
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...
Series Recap: Giants at Brewers
After the Cubs series, I was happy with a series win. Going into the series with the Giants, anything less than a sweep would have been a disappointment. The Giants are in a state a flux and just not very good right now. If the Brewers Canning-Craft-Beer are going to be a playoff team...
Nothing goes right for the Brewers
I waited to talk about yesterday's game because I was hoping the sickening feeling I had watching it would have gone away by now, but time has still not healed that wound. I shouldn't have been surprised because it seems like the Twins always spank the Brewers when they come...

There is speculation around baseball that Tony La Russa will leave the dugout for the Front Office and become a General Manager. While it is hard to imagine La Russa in a suit and tie, he would make for a great GM. He knows what it takes to build a good team and is familiar with other...
Brewers drop game, series to Dodgers
For the first six innings yesterday Ben Sheets pitched lights-out and it appeared that if the offense could just tally a single run, they would take the game and series. That thought went up in flames in the top of the seventh. Sheets gave up six hits and six runs while only recording...
Brewers top the Reds and Sheets leaves early
The Brewers topped the Reds 5-2 on Friday night. Once again Ben Sheets stole the spotlight although it was due to more than his pitching. Sheets tossed five shutout innings while only giving up two hits. As Sheets left the gave after the fifth, he motioned that there was something...

Series Recap: Reds at Brewers
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...
Bush struggles, bats continue to struggle; Brewers aren't very good
The Brewers losing streak reached five games Wednesday night, but on a positive note, at least they finally scored a couple runs. The Brewers bats were held scoreless for 22 innings before Rickie Weeks hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning. It turned out that shot was only a mirage...
Series Recap: Brewers at Reds
After looking like a Triple A team against the Cardinals, the Brewers headed to Cincinnati to face a team that dominated them only a week earlier. The Brewers had the top of their rotation going into the series which at least gave them a fighting chance.

HARRISBURG, PA — David DelMonico, 44, thought that inviting his wife to join his fantasy league might be a bad idea when he extended the invite pre-season.
“We’ve got a real competitive, 10-team, AL-only, 6×6 league going,” David said. “I didn&rsquo...
Brewers bullpen chokes against the Rockies
The Brewers got off to a fast start in Colorado on Friday night and it appeared that the Crew's win streak was going to be extended to seven games. It seemed like the win was all locked up until Guillermo Mota entered the game in the eighth inning. Mota did not record an out but...

Series Recap: Brewers at Mets
After three disappointing games against the Reds, it was hard to imagine much good coming out of New York. Sure, Ben Sheets was pitching but he was going up against Johan Santana in his Shea Stadium debut. By the time Sunday afternoon rolled around, the rain stayed away and the Brewers...
Why the Brewers and Jake Peavy are the Perfect Match

Even though the winter meetings have began, I have heard almost nothing regarding the Jake Peavy talks except for a potential trade to the Chicago Cubs. To me, that trade is nothing more than a pipe dream because the Cubs do not have much to offer the Padres for Peavy. The inclusion of a ...

Series Recap: Brewers at Cardinals
Usually when I do the series recaps I like to break it up into the good, bad, ugly and then give a summary. I'm not going to do that for this series. Even Prince Fielder's first home run of the season isn't enough to mask all the garbage I had to watch the last three days...
