Just a few years ago, the NL Central was the best division in the National League. The Astros and Cardinals met in back to back League Championship Series in 2004 and 2005 and the Cardinals took home the World Series in 2006. Since the Cardinals beat the Tigers for their tenth World Series title, though, […]

At long last, MLB is letting the Milwaukee Brewers take advantage of a wonderful day. Brewers PR manager John Steinmiller (

The Rangers withstood an extended Tigers rally in the fifth inning, as well as a pair of long rain delays in the same innings, and defeated Detroit 3-2 to take a 1-0 lead in the ALCS. Because of the rain, Tigers ace Justin Verlander only went four innings. In those four innings, he allowed three […]

Brewers defeat Diamondbacks three games to two. Key stat: Milwaukee’s starting pitchers allowed eight homers in 26 2/3 innings, or a rate of 2.7 per nine innings. Key hitters (Brewers): Ryan Braun activated his beast mode during this season, much like he did during the regular season. Braun’s line was .500/.571/.889, and he had five […]

The confetti has been cleaned from the stands at Miller Park. The champagne and Miller Lite that drenched the clubhouse has dried.  And this morning, Nyjer Morgan is a Wisconsin folk hero. A man of many personalities — Tony Plush, Tony Tombstone, Tony Gumble and even Tony Hush among others — a fter struggling for […]

Chris Carpenter threw a complete game shutout, and the Cardinals beat the Phillies 1-0, to send the five time defending eastern division champions home in a shocking first round exit. Carpenter was dominant for his nine innings, allowing the Phillies just three hits and not walking a hitter while striking out three. He only threw […]

There are few people in life who are as good at their job as Brewers announcer Bob Uecker is at calling baseball games. Regrettably though, unless you were living in Wisconsin or had paid $20 to subscribe to MLB’s service, you weren’t able to hear him call what might go down as one of the […]

Closer John Axford made it interesting in the ninth, allowing the game to get tied up on a squeeze, but Nyjer Morgan delivered a walkoff single in the bottom of the tenth to send Milwaukee to their first NLCS with a 3-2 victory. Axford’s problems began in the ninth, when Gerardo Parra, who didn’t have […]

All I can say is, WOW. This team is like a crack addict that just can’t stop, no matter how many people try and intervene. Back in August, I chronicled the Marlins’ soap opera-like season, pointing out the on and off the field troubles that had crippled the ballclub in the standings and at the ticket office. Now, […]
