Making a Brewers lineup not as easy as it seems

Published May 17, 2013

Penciling in eight batters into a lineup isn't as easy as it seems - a lot more goes into it than just raw numbers. A real manager has to deal with real people in major league lineups and with that comes certain intangibles like health, comfort and confidence.

Brewers' Ramirez making it look easy

Published May 14, 2013

By all accounts, Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Aramis Ramirez should be off to one of his patented slow starts. He missed time in spring training and about a full month of the season already with a knee injury, but through his first handful of games he's making hitting look easy.

Help Brewers name their own beer!

Published May 14, 2013

The Milwaukee Brewers have partnered with Leinie's to create a "New Brew," a beer that will be served exclusively at Miller Park this year. And now it's time for the fans to join in and name that Brew.

The nicest Brewers of all-time

Published May 13, 2013

Plenty is written about baseball's jerks. I've even met some of them. But rarely do people talk about how nice some players are. They may not have been the best players, but if personality counts (which it doesn't), they'd be in the Hall of Fame.

Where's Polish? Spring Madness a success for Brewers

Published May 13, 2013

Fans lined up at Miller Park at 5 a.m. to participate in the third annual Milwaukee Brewers Spring Madness event, which included finding 2,000 Klement's Famous Polish Racing Sausage lawn ornaments in the grass areas surrounding the stadium and its parking lots.

Weeks' early season struggles are no surprise

Published May 9, 2013

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks is mired in another season-opening slump - but that's the thing - it's happened before. And, like before, he'll hit his way out of it.

Peralta navigating the MLB learning curve for Brewers

Published May 8, 2013

The Milwaukee Brewers have given Wily Peralta a chance to grow into a full-fledged major league starter this season and the 22-year-old is predictably going through a learning curve. But, to everyone around him, he has a chance to become a star.

We boo because we care

Published May 7, 2013

Do something great and we adore our heroes with shouts, screams and applause. We care and we show we care. What are we to do when they screw something up? We care about them just as much and ignoring their failure should not be part of this equation. Not caring is worse, much worse, than disapproving. We have to let them know that we who depend on them so much are disappointed.

Brewers looking for consistency

Published May 3, 2013

The Milwaukee Brewers have climbed back over .500 from a 2-8 start to the season, even though the lineup that led the National League in three different offensive categories in 2012 has been inconsistent.

Why boo your own guys?

Published May 3, 2013

The Brewers should've won the game Wednesday, but John Axford blew a two-run lead in the eighth inning. Sitting close to the field, it was the first time I'd seen and heard the vitriol from fans around me. They booed him. A lot.

The Brewers are bringing back the unique "Brewers Win, You Win!" promotion. Every Brewers victory between May 1 and May 30 will result in $1 off a Terrace Box ticket for the June 3-5 series vs. the Oakland Athletics. The more games the Brewers win, the more money fans save.

Gorzelanny finds niche in the bullpen

Published April 29, 2013

Milwaukee Brewers lefty Tom Gorzelanny spent his entire baseball life taking the ball every fifth day as a starting pitcher. He won 14 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2007 but has now found a home in the bullpen.
