Fish or Cut Bait? Which Players to Keep and Who to Throw Back
We’ve all experienced it. Poor early season performance out of top players or early round draft picks. It is a fantasy owner’s worst nightmare. There also comes a point when you must decide to either hold onto the player and hope he turns it around or cut him loose (either by trade […]
The 1% Factor: How The Brewers Can Defy The Odds And Make A Run
As the Brewers end the first “half” of play and come out on the other end of the All-Star Break, the following question popped into my mind: Can The Brewers Defy a 40-49 Record and actually make a playoff run? The one good thing about hope is that it cannot be killed (no matter how […]
What Was Brewing in Milwaukee Baseball in May
Well, we’ve made it to about the one-third mark of the season. Now, let’s take a look at how things progressed during the month of May. What Went Right: May was only 31 days long and it has (finally) come to an end. In all seriousness, I would put the first week of May in […]
Some Thoughts on the Brewers’ April
Well, we’ve got one month of play under our belts, time to check in on how the Brewers did. What Went Right: The list in this area is smaller than I would like it to be. As always, the Brewers have shown they have the potential to pile up runs at will (as evidenced by […]

Reflections on the Brewers at the Trade Deadline
The Milwaukee Brewers are in a precarious situation. A team that was built from the inside with three-fourths of an infield (Prince Fielder, Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy), a pair of slugging corner outfielders (Ryan Braun, Corey Hart) and an ace in the making (Yovani Gallardo), is now being looked at as thin when it comes […]
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, […]
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. With the “workhorse” Sabathia now in New York, and the oft-injured Sheets […]
