There will be a vintage car show, House of Harley Davidson parade and more exciting entertainment options. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mkeindyfeststreetparty.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mkeindyfeststreetparty.html?33902 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:31:00 CDT Nearly a month removed from being eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs and about a month away from the NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks are still looking for a head coach. That's OK. General manager John Hammond said he had no timeline, and it is the right approach. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksslowcoachingsearch.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksslowcoachingsearch.html?33888 Fri, 24 May 2013 13:03:00 CDT The starting rotation has grown increasingly more problematic for the Milwaukee Brewers as the team has fallen to nine games under .500, but the lineup hasn't produced either this month. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersstartingpitching.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersstartingpitching.html?33865 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:12:00 CDT On Tuesday, golf's governing bodies officially adopted a ban against anchoring the putter against the body to make a stroke. Predictably, the PGA Tour and the PGA of America complained and whined and threatened and postured. Unfortunately, it's the exact wrong reaction. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/anchoringbangolfrule141b.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/anchoringbangolfrule141b.html?33854 Wed, 22 May 2013 13:04:00 CDT Hello again, OnMilwaukee.com readers! Well, I am back posting a little insight to my personal baseball journey. It's been a very long one, from being drafted by the Devil Rays (yes they were the Devil Rays back then) in 1999 to stops in Milwaukee, Miami, Texas back to Milwaukee and even a stop in the Cubs organization. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/sethmcclung/niaho.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/sethmcclung/niaho.html?33858 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:14:00 CDT The Milwaukee Wave and the Wisconsin Center District signed a two-year contract to ensure the Wave will remain in Downtown Milwaukee. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeewaveuscellular.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeewaveuscellular.html?33853 Tue, 21 May 2013 17:19:00 CDT The Milwaukee Brewers and Jean Segura have already opened the door for a contract extension, which is a smart move by both sides. It's a win-win situation for both parties, no matter the numbers, and it's a deal that should be reached soon. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersjeanseguracontract.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersjeanseguracontract.html?33830 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:06:00 CDT When a team is as bad as the Milwaukee Brewers have been, you kind of just hold your breath, waiting for somebody with authority to lose patience with the whole thing and start chopping. And, as we all know, the normal first head on the chopping block belongs to the manager. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelronroenickefuture.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelronroenickefuture.html?33832 Tue, 21 May 2013 05:32:00 CDT Brett Favre will be six years removed from his less than glorious exit from the Green Bay Packers this fall and there seems to be movement towards reconciliation between the two parties. But the key for Favre as he enters this new stage of his life is winning you back. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/packersbrettfavrewantsyouback.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/packersbrettfavrewantsyouback.html?33799 Mon, 20 May 2013 13:04:00 CDT Ninety-two years ago this month, Johnny Mendelsohn won the biggest fight of his career and simultaneously sealed his fate as, in the words of a sportswriter who covered him, "the most maligned boxer Milwaukee ever had." http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/ehrmannjohnnymendelsohn.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/ehrmannjohnnymendelsohn.html?33750 Sat, 18 May 2013 13:04:00 CDT Real or fake? Many don't prefer the real thing when it comes to their sports jerseys. Fake "authentic" sports jerseys is a booming online business, but it does hurt the local retailer. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/fakejerseys.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/fakejerseys.html?33825 Fri, 17 May 2013 18:02:00 CDT The husband-wife operators of the ghoulishly acclaimed Wisconsin FearGrounds have created a new haunt that makes "run for your life" a realistic exercise. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/zombiemudrun.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/zombiemudrun.html?33817 Fri, 17 May 2013 15:02:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerslineupnoteasy.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerslineupnoteasy.html?33791 Fri, 17 May 2013 13:03:00 CDT Energee!, the official dance team of the Milwaukee Bucks, is recruiting new talent to join the squad for the 2013-14 season. Open auditions for the squad will begin June 29 at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksenergeeauditions.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksenergeeauditions.html?33816 Fri, 17 May 2013 10:36:00 CDT Mick Pavlovich has been in the sports retail business for 25 years, and the former Milwaukee Braves bat boy knows what fans want - especially those looking for that real "old school" feel. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/stadiumsportsstuff.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/stadiumsportsstuff.html?33753 Thu, 16 May 2013 13:02:00 CDT On May 25 the Milwaukee Brewers will host a "Brewed for Her" event during the Brewers vs. Pirates game in the Gehl Club at Miller Park. And now for a limited time, tickets are available at a special price of two for $115 (additional tickets are available for $57.50 each). http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersbrewedforher.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersbrewedforher.html?33804 Thu, 16 May 2013 09:28:00 CDT Supporting your team is part of being a fan, and one of the easiest ways to do that is by wearing team apparel, official or otherwise. Milwaukee offers several options for fans, from visiting the Brewers store in Miller Park to patronizing the local retailers who give you unique ways to show your love. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/sportsapparel.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/sportsapparel.html?33752 Wed, 15 May 2013 13:01:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersaramisramirezeasy.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersaramisramirezeasy.html?33755 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:03:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersbeer.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersbeer.html?33769 Tue, 14 May 2013 10:32:00 CDT Any sport can be improved upon with simple tweaks to the rules. Here is a list of one change for the major spectator sports that will help each game. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelnewsportsrules.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelnewsportsrules.html?33749 Tue, 14 May 2013 05:35:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andytarnoff/nicebrewers.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andytarnoff/nicebrewers.html?33754 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:11:00 CDT The Milwaukee Bucks are looking for a new head coach and some new players following the team's first playoff appearance in three seasons. Owner Sen. Herb Kohl is willing to sell the team, perhaps bring in a partner - or partners - and there is a need for a new arena. It's time for the Bucks to go "all in." http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksallin.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksallin.html?33746 Mon, 13 May 2013 13:04:00 CDT The Pitch, Hit and Run competition is a free event that provides youngsters an opportunity to participate in a baseball skills competition at Helfaer Field, the same location as the former Milwaukee County Stadium playing field. The competition is May 19. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/pitchhitandruncamp.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/pitchhitandruncamp.html?33751 Mon, 13 May 2013 12:36:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerswherespolish.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerswherespolish.html?33745 Mon, 13 May 2013 09:59:00 CDT Yuniesky Betancourt has hit the ball at a remarkable rate for the Milwaukee Brewers, and it can be traced back to winter ball experience in Mexico. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersyunibhitting.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersyunibhitting.html?33725 Fri, 10 May 2013 13:01:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersrickieweeksstruggles.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersrickieweeksstruggles.html?33721 Thu, 9 May 2013 13:02:00 CDT For months, all the pro leagues had been preparing for this announcement from some athlete. They had formed alliances with LGBT groups, laying plans for how to respond and how to handle the inevitable public reaction. But even in Wisconsin, we have moved beyond this kind of homophobic bull crap. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelblog050913.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelblog050913.html?33681 Thu, 9 May 2013 05:31:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/wilyperaltalearningcurve.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/wilyperaltalearningcurve.html?33665 Wed, 8 May 2013 13:01:00 CDT The Professional Bowlers Association has unveiled three distinct new lane conditioning patterns that will debut during the GEICO PBA Summer Swing in the Milwaukee area May 20-June 2, expanding the PBA's current library of "animal pattern" lane conditions. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/bowlinglanes.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/bowlinglanes.html?33700 Wed, 8 May 2013 08:39:00 CDT Carlos Gomez is having an All-Star caliber start to the season - something that can be traced back to a unique hitting drill he learned at the hand of Manny Ramirez. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/carlosgomezlefhanded.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/carlosgomezlefhanded.html?33664 Tue, 7 May 2013 13:01:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelbooingaxford.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelbooingaxford.html?33673 Tue, 7 May 2013 05:34:00 CDT In a game of constant, violent collision, it's hard to imagine that any player would get "healthier" once they enter the National Football League. The Green Bay Packers are hoping that happens with running back Eddie Lacy. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/packersdrafteddielacy.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/packersdrafteddielacy.html?33677 Mon, 6 May 2013 13:02:00 CDT Race fans have the opportunity to take in two of the most historic races this IZOD IndyCar Series season with the "Indy to IndyFest" ticket package. The package includes one Saturday Milwaukee IndyFest 200-level grandstand seat and one Indianapolis 500 North Vista grandstand seat for only $99. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/indianapolis500indyfest.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/indianapolis500indyfest.html?33627 Sun, 5 May 2013 14:06:00 CDT Franklin Mayor Tom Taylor threw out the first pitch to open the Rock Sports Complex last weekend, and in a couple months someone will take the opening plunge on the mountain bike park being sculpted on the former landfill previously known as Crystal Ridge. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/rocksportscomplex.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/rocksportscomplex.html?33663 Sat, 4 May 2013 05:04:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerslineup.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerslineup.html?33652 Fri, 3 May 2013 13:03:00 CDT Brewers Director of Alumni Relations and FOX Sports Wisconsin broadcaster Davey Nelson will host his Fifth Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament at Whistling Straits Golf Course in Kohler, on June 24. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/2013daveynelsoncharitytournament.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/2013daveynelsoncharitytournament.html?33625 Fri, 3 May 2013 12:08:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andytarnoff/booingaxford.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andytarnoff/booingaxford.html?33658 Fri, 3 May 2013 11:52:00 CDT On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks announced that interim head coach Jim Boylan would not be offered a contract to return and the head coaching search has begun in earnest. It is the first step in the process of "getting better" - something many players are looking forward to. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/buckstogetbetter.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/buckstogetbetter.html?33630 Thu, 2 May 2013 13:01:00 CDT Summerfest and Milwaukee IndyFest are offering festival fans and race fans significant savings to enjoy two of Milwaukee's hottest summer events when they purchase the "2-For-$33 Rev Up the Summer" ticket package. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeeindyfestsummerfesttickets.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeeindyfestsummerfesttickets.html?33624 Thu, 2 May 2013 09:11:00 CDT Reebok Spartan Race has created the Wisconsin Spartan Sprint at Miller Park, and it will take place on Sept. 7. The three-mile course is a head-to-head, time trial, speed-style event, with the unique twist of incorporating numerous and challenging obstacles. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/millerparkreebokspartanrace.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/millerparkreebokspartanrace.html?33622 Thu, 2 May 2013 05:02:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerswinyouwinpromotion.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerswinyouwinpromotion.html?33620 Wed, 1 May 2013 18:16:00 CDT At the beginning of the year the stated goal of the Milwaukee Bucks - from the top of the organization on down - was to make the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2009-10. They did that. But, by capturing the Eastern Conference's eighth seed after struggling over the final six weeks of the regular season, the accomplishment was bittersweet. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksreflectonseason.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksreflectonseason.html?33611 Wed, 1 May 2013 13:02:00 CDT The Milwaukee Bucks announced Wednesday afternoon that interim head coach Jim Boylan will not be offered a new contract to return. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksjimboylanout.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksjimboylanout.html?33628 Wed, 1 May 2013 12:30:00 CDT Registration for the Brewers Mini-Marathon and 10K is open and registrants receive the lowest price to participate when signing up prior to Wednesday. The 2013 race is scheduled for Sept. 28. New for the second year of the "Brewers Mini" is the addition of a 10K race. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeebrewersmarathon.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeebrewersmarathon.html?33619 Wed, 1 May 2013 12:13:00 CDT The main folks who seemed upset this week after the gay NBA player came out appeared to limited to those people who just don't understand why the gay lifestyle is just not a big deal for other people anymore. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/firstgayathleteouted.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/firstgayathleteouted.html?33606 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:05:00 CDT Jason Collins, currently an NBA free agent, came out publicly to Sports Illustrated on Monday to become the first active male athlete to do so in one of the four major American sports leagues. His colleagues with the Milwaukee Bucks expressed their support of his decision and don't see it as an issue going forward in the NBA. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/jasoncollinsmilwaukeebuckssupport.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/jasoncollinsmilwaukeebuckssupport.html?33598 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:02:00 CDT If you're looking for a place to watch the most exciting two minutes in sports, you'll be glad to hear that Potawatomi Bingo Casino is off to the races this Saturday, May 4. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/potawatomiderby2013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/potawatomiderby2013.html?33595 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:33:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerstomgorzelannyadjusts.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerstomgorzelannyadjusts.html?33587 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:02:00 CDT The Miami Heat swept the Milwaukee Bucks out of the first round of the NBA playoffs with an 88-77 victory on Sunday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, yet in each game the Bucks had an opportunity to turn the tide and earn a victory. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksheatplayoffsweep.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bucksheatplayoffsweep.html?33581 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:32:00 CDT Chellie deGelleke ran a marathon every day for five consecutive days and finished the first leg of the MS Run the US Relay full of admiration. Not for herself, but the people who live with multiple sclerosis and "are running a marathon every day of their lives just to function or find some sort of comfort within their discomfort." It's the kind of revelation one can find in distance running, or in this case, ultra-distance running. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/msruntheus2013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/msruntheus2013.html?33570 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:34:00 CDT
