The Giants Get Swept Out of Milwaukee
Posted on 18 Apr 2013 by Daniel Trucios.
After winning three out of four games in Chicago, the San Francisco Giants got swept in their following series against the Brewers. All three games in Milwaukee go to the Brewers (6-8) as the World Champs lost game 3 earlier today 7-2. After a DUI arrest earlier this week, Yovani Gallardo pitched a fine game against the Giants (9-7) going 6 innings, striking out 6 and allowing 1 run, 5 hits and...

Mr. Smith Goes to Palookaville
Posted on 1 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
“Babe Ruth is the biggest runner-up in history.” That’s what the man said, Babe Ruth, a runner-up. Words from the mouth of sport opinionator Stephen A. Smith last Monday co-hosting with Skip Bayless on ESPN’s hip-hoppin’ morning show “First Take.” I don’t take-in “First Take” but rarely these days, having been a regular until producers decided the popular show needed fixing ...

DayGame World Series, Sir Selig?
Posted on 26 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
If you’re reading this you’re a sports fan and know all about ESPN’s college “GameDay.” It’s not my cup o’ tea (that outdoor-set, with its screaming fans, really red-lines my annoying-meter), but the name, that works just fine. So, for purposes of this baseball piece, just flip that title and make it DayGame World Series 2013. That’s my dream, anyway. It’s been over a quarter-...

Our Last Trip to the Ballpark (maybe!)
Posted on 24 Sep 2012 by Marien Hornyak.
This past Saturday, my husband and I went to our fifth and final Nationals game of the regular season. It was a warm afternoon, and Nationals Park was packed with over 40,000 fans hoping to watch Nationals’ pitcher Gio Gonzalez earn his 20th win of the season, this time against the Milwaukee Brewers. Yes, the “Brew Crew” was in town, the team leading the Majors with 150 stolen bases a...

Playoff Push Belies MLB Grind
Posted on 29 Jul 2012 by Steven Keys.
The ‘dog days’ of summer have arrived. The genesis of that phrase? I haven’t a clue. To tell ya’ the truth, sometimes I just don’t want to know the answer. Call it Information Age burn-out. Suffice to say, ‘dog days’ feels apropos come late July. It’s that time in baseball when the pep & vigor of spring has vanished like a cool summer breeze. Players, managers and umpires st...

Bullpen lets Brewers down again
Posted on 5 Jul 2012 by Jeff Knier.
Despite winning four of their past five games, much uncertainty remains in the Brewers bullpen. A day after blowing a 9-2 lead through 6 innings only to be saved by an Aramis Ramirez walk-off two-run homer in the 10th inning, the Brewers bullpen struggled again last night. Starter Randy Wolf gave up a game-tying three run homer in the 7th inning to tie the game at 5-5. The Brewers got a run...

Scoring Ryan Braun’s Rumble
Posted on 28 Feb 2012 by Steven Keys.
Ryan Braun may’ve won the latest round in his fight with Baseball and anti-dopers over a suspicious urine sample but the final bell hasn’t yet rung on this slugfest. Here’s a round-by-round scorecard of the burgeoning brawl that began last fall. Round One: Major League Baseball (1-0). Braun’s 2011 October urine sample threw-up a big red flag. His testosterone reading was off the charts,...

Now that it’s over people in Cardinals Nation can get back to their regularly scheduled lives as the Pujols saga has consumed most of them since the season ended. Of course there are mixed emotions throughout the ...

Diamondbacks on the Brink of Elimination, Don’t Count Them Out
Posted on 3 Oct 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
The script is set in Arizona. Arizona is now down 2-0 in the NLDS against the Milwaukee Brewers. Just about every MLB analyst is drinking the Brew Crew Kool-Aid. The question is can the Brewers close out the series or can the Diamondbacks pull off the unthinkable? Sunday the Diamondbacks looked to even the series. The Brewers had different plans. The Brewers score 2 runs in the 1st in...

Brewers Shut Down Diamondbacks in Game 1
Posted on 2 Oct 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
The Diamondbacks were silenced in Game 1 in Milwaukee. The Brewers went on to win 4-1 behind an amazing game behind Yovani Gallardo. Gallardo pitched 8 strong innings striking out nine batters and only allowing 4 hits. Ryan Roberts was able to hit a home run in the 8th inning but it was not enough. Behind the Milwaukee offense Gallardo had enough breathing room to pitch the way he needed ...

Down to the Wire
Posted on 25 Sep 2011 by John Morgo.
I hope you were able to listen to the round-table podcast I joined in with Adrian Fedkiw, Brenda Sepanek and Matthew Hesse. You can listen to it now by visiting (www.prosportsblogging.com/mlb). The big question was whether or not we thought the Braves and Red Sox would hang on for the wild card - or were we seeing two Metsian collapses? (If I use it enough, it will catch on?) I may be wrong, b...
