After a couple-month-long school/work hiatus, we’re soon to start posting again, so check back next week as I write down my thoughts in the coming couple of weeks. Who knows, maybe we’ll actually be interesting this time.
Barring some very good performances against playoff-bound teams in the last four games of the season, the Brewers are bound to finish up a disappointing season after beginning the season with high expectations and spending the first half of the season in first place in the division. It took a hot streak by the Cardinals [...]
Our very own dark horse Rookie of the Year candidate Casey McGehee has not-so-quietly had a spectacular year for Milwaukee, putting up a line of .304/.370/.515 in his rookie year with 15 homers in only 335 PA. If he didn’t split playing time with other guys and didn’t sit out with an injury on the [...]
There’s an old baseball adage among GMs that the first two months of the season are for seeing what your team has and what it needs, the next two months are spent improving your team and fillings its gaps, and the last two are the final product fighting to the finish line. Once upon a [...]
Yesterday’s game against the Cardinals was brilliantly pitched by Chris Carpenter, as he gave up only one hit in a complete game shutout. It was a day game, of which the Brewers have no idea how to hit in anymore, and thrown by Carpenter, who has a reputation around these parts to be really, really [...]
This has been kind of a weird season for me as a fan. Early on, my wife and I were very intensely into the season, watching almost every game, and listening when we couldn’t. We attended 3 games early on in the season, and lived and died with the team. However, there was the wedding [...]
I was gone all weekend at a kickball tournament in Eau Claire (took 3rd!) this weekend, so I didn’t get much time to pay attention to the Brewers this weekend. Quite a bit happened while I was away, it appears, and there’s quite a bit to talk about regardless now that September callups are coming [...]
For all intensive purposes, the Milwaukee Brewers out of the race to get to the playoffs. BP’s Playoff Odds pin them as having less than a 1 in 200 chance at making the postseason, and the pitching isn’t going to improve too much anytime soon — Dave Bush may be back for the rest of [...]
I’ve been out of the Brewers loop for the last little while, what with my wedding on Saturday and all that, but I’d just like to commend Doug Melvin for getting Seattle to pay even a little bit of Bill Hall’s 2010 salary. Any little bit helps.
With Mike Cameron‘s $10 million salary coming off the books at the beginning of next year, it’s unlikely the Brewers will offer him arbitration and he’ll get a two/three year deal with a team in need of a center fielder that has more money available to spend than the Brewers. This could be different had [...]
