But if your defense can't stop the opponent, it's hard to be taken seriously as a Super Bowl contender. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/packerssuper082910.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/packerssuper082910.html?23602 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:04:00 CST After being robbed at gunpoint Thursday night, Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo spoke with the local media. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/gallardorobberyattempt.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/gallardorobberyattempt.html?23592 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:01:00 CST The Wednesday night debate between Republican gubernatorial hopefuls Scott Walker and Mark Neumann didn't end in victory for either candidate, but they did each get a chance to further explain their differences. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andrewwagner/gubernatorialdebaterecap.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andrewwagner/gubernatorialdebaterecap.html?23581 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:36:00 CST Seven weeks after the state government put the kibosh on smoking in Wisconsin bars, the ban has been successful with minimal Milwaukee-area complaints yet harmful to some bars, which are losing more than half of their business. http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/wisconsinsmokingbanfollowup.html http://onmilwaukee.com/bars/articles/wisconsinsmokingbanfollowup.html?23563 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:08:00 CST Turner Hall isn't going anywhere.

While many fans are fuming over Doug Melvin's perceived indifference; the GM was right to keep his roster intact instead of making a move just for the sake of making a move. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/melvinwasrightnottotrade.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/melvinwasrightnottotrade.html?23345 Sun, 1 Aug 2010 15:03:00 CST The non-waiver trade deadline is Saturday at 3 p.m. With the Brewers looking less and less likely to get back in the N.L.
