Is Livan Hernandez headed to Milwaukee?
The Brewers may be receiving Major League help in their starting rotation, or perhaps their bullpen, from a veteran pitcher. This afternoon, former Brewers infielder/outfielder Bill Hall tweeted:

Brewers spokesman John Steinmiller would neither confirm nor deny that Hernandez is joining the team.
Hernandez was released by the Braves last Friday after going 1-1 with a save and compiling a 4.94 ERA this season in Atlanta. He surrendered five runs on seven hits in just 1 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays in his final appearance for the team. The save this year was the first of his career.
The Braves signed the 37-year-old Cuba native, a 17-year MLB veteran, a day after he was released by the Astros on March 30.
Hernandez has a career record of 175-177 and has played for nine teams, including the Giants, Mets and Diamondbacks, among others. He was 8-13 last year with the Nationals, with a 4.47 ERA.
I hope I just didn't break news that wasn't known yet. Ugghhhh I thought it was public knowledge. Sorry #brewers and @Haudricourt

Former Color Truth frontman Steinbach finds the road back
Published May 19, 2013
It's been a long time since we've heard from Zach Steinbach. Nearly five years ago Steinbach fronted The Color Truth, a Milwaukee band that seemed poised to take the next step with its big, melodic, poppy rock and roll. The band fizzled out a couple years back, leaving Steinbach a bit lost. But now, he's back. He's got a band, and he's got a new solo record. More, than anything, he says, he's got a new lease on a musical life.
Let's put the "front" back in Front Street
Published May 16, 2013
For a variety of reasons, I've been thinking about Front Street, which now seems so ironically named, fronting as it does onto nothing and serving as the ultimate definition of a Milwaukee "backstreet." In my mind, I see something much different that can be seen on the block today.

The bowling alleys are long gone, but the loss has never affected the popularity of The Horse & Plow pub in The American Club at Kohler.
