You'll have to look long and hard to find bigger Brewers fans than the ones who occupy the offices of OnMilwaukee.com. But let's face it: it's tough to get excited about a team that's on pace to set a franchise record for most losses. All of us were in middle school (or younger) when the Brewers went to the World Series. Most of us were just coming out of puberty during the last winning season back in '92.

So what to do about this sad, sad franchise? It just so happens that we've got 100 ideas, some good, some serious and some just silly. In the theme of the famous OMC 100 things lists, we present "100 things the Brewers must do to turn it around." Enjoy, and please take note (with a couple grains of salt), Ms. Selig-Prieb:

1. Replace or complement the Selig family with seasoned sports business people.
2. Bring back the old ball and glove logo.
3. Trade or cut Ron Belliard.
4. Stop raising beer prices.
5. Fire Dean Taylor and replace him with GM who can pull the trigger.
6. Trade Geoff Jenkins for an up and coming star.
7. Hire a new training coach from outside the organization.
8. Bring in a big name manager like Felipe Alou.
9. Advertise outside the Brewers radio and TV networks (the people watching are already fans).
10. Develop a farm team.
11. Capitalize on Brewers legends.
12. Bring back Bernie's chalet.

16. Trade anyone for Jeff Cirillo.
17. Stop swinging at every pitch.
18. Learn how to run the bases.

59. Fix the obstructed views problems at Miller Park.

85. Get and keep Chad Fox's arm healthy.
86. Sit down Richie when he's hurt.
87. Ownership: tell us the truth. When Alex Sanchez runs through a stop sign at third base, don't tell us "we like his aggressiveness." Don't tell us that Sal Bando and Phil Garner are the best GMs and managers in baseball, then fire them a month later. We know the team is bad; we'd appreciate a little honesty.

98. Promote David Krynzel to the big leagues; why not?
99. Really reach out to fans outside Milwaukee
100. Just win, baby!
