Brewers Solid Through 32 Games

At 18-14, and having won 16 of their last 21 games, the Milwaukee Brewers are quickly making their fans forget about their 3-8 start and have them thinking more about a return trip to the post-season.

While it shouldn’t be overlooked that this team is 11-12 against teams above .500 and is 5-0 against Pittsburgh, the schedule is not their problem. What was considered a problem in the off-season…

Rays Reflections

David Price and Andy Sonnanstine are exhibits A and B in a lesson about how valuable experience can be when making a major league roster or, more importantly, a starting rotation.  Though I am a big fan of Andy’s, anyone can see that Price is likely a far more talented pitcher in every aspect of the game.  The 23 year old Price seemed major league ready when he was drafted,…

Baseball Reflections on the Brewers

Any preview of the 2009 Milwaukee Brewers will invariably contain the names CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets early and often. The two combined for 24 wins in 2008 and the run CC went on after his trade from Cleveland has been well documented.

A Cubs No-No

Cubs Ace Carlos Zambrano returned from time off due to a tired arm on Sunday and threw the first no-hitter of his career (and the first by a Cubs pitcher in something like 36 years) against the Astros in Milwaukee due to the Hurricane Ike scare. His performance may have been just what the doctor ordered as the Cubs were on a bit of a slump as of late. The next day, Ted Lily went…
