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 [...]

Adam McCalvy: Manager Ken Macha intends to start Rivera for a second straight game when Yovani Gallardo takes the mound against the Astros at Miller Park. And why not?

They’ve been teetering on the end of desperation for awhile now and getting rid of the pitching coach and worst player on the team were two moves that pretty much had to be made, [...]
Numerous times I’ve pointed out on BPL that the Brewers made the right move by not making any major trades for a Cliff Lee or Roy Halladay since the Brewers were blowing smoke and mirrors during their hot stretch at the beginning of the year and they’re too flawed to justify overspending for a band-aid [...]
A quick look at Brewers WAR in 2009, updated through Thursday, August 6th. Image after the jump:
With the recent lukewarm streak the Brew Crew have been on, I’ve become a little more optimistic about this season, despite the pedestrian loss last night. Even though the playoffs are a distant memory, there’s no reason not to be a happy Brewer fan. Here are a few things I’m grinning about as the dog [...]
It’s been a tough weekend to be a Brewers fan. To keep things simple, I’ll just list off what made it so hard. 1. Losing a 7-1 lead to one of the worst teams in baseball. 2. Losing Corey Hart for a month just as he’s starting to come around. 3. Having Bill Hall return [...]
