The Milwaukee Bucks 91-81 defeat of the New Jersey Nets marked the return of point guard Brandon Jennings, but it was Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and Milwaukee Brewers All-Star Ryan Braun who received a standing ovation. Rodgers and Braun sat court-side to watch the Bucks win their third straight game behind 17 points and 18 rebounds from Andrew Bogut.

Casey McGehee’s Knee Could Have Cost Him Stellar Season
Casey McGehee doesn’t mind having 26 RBIs on the month as of Friday. It’s the most in the majors in August and is several shy of a few club hitting records, namely Gorman Thomas (32 in 1979) and Cecil Cooper (32 in 1980). It’s also an impressive number considering that at this time last year, McGehee was just trying to keep his knee serviceable. “There were days that even … [Read more...] about Casey McGehee’s Knee Could Have Cost Him Stellar Season
Chris Capuano: Comeback Kid?
Earlier this week, Manny Parra was ushered out of the starting rotation. That paved a path for Milwaukee Brewers' Chris Capuano, who starts Saturday against Pittsburgh. “When I step onto the mound tomorrow, it will be a feeling of freedom,” said Capuano. “It’s a feeling of release. I can get let go. That’s truly the time you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.” Three … [Read more...] about Chris Capuano: Comeback Kid?
Yovani Gallardo’s South Side Scare
I grew up less than four miles from the spot Milwaukee Brewers' starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo was robbed at gunpoint overnight Thursday into Friday. I was also there when he spoke to reporters Friday afternoon and Yo was certainly a little freaked out, enough to probably avoid S. 20th and Lincoln Ave. for a few months. Gallardo and one of the Brewers’ clubhouse attendants … [Read more...] about Yovani Gallardo’s South Side Scare
Brewers Position Players Unafraid to Pitch
Randy Wolf came in as a pinch hitter, Alcides Escobar used his skills in left field and George Kottaras tried out right field. That’s not even the strangest substitution in the Milwaukee Brewers lineup Tuesday night. With Carlos Gomez and Jim Edmonds sharing duties in centerfield and Corey Hart’s hot streak, Joe Inglett has waited patiently to see playing time in the … [Read more...] about Brewers Position Players Unafraid to Pitch
Policing Baseball: Macha Gets Wish, Venters Suspended
Milwaukee Brewers Manager Ken Macha is really angry. Finally. And Major League Baseball did something about it Monday afternoon. After Braves’ Jonny Venters threw a breaking ball over Prince Fielder’s head Saturday, he drilled Prince in the back, hard. Fielder had hit a game-tying homer in his previous at-bat. That puts the Prince at 14 plunks this season, third in all of … [Read more...] about Policing Baseball: Macha Gets Wish, Venters Suspended
Corey Hart Proves He is Star Material, Sometimes
Perhaps he was trying to prove to the Milwaukee Brewers organization that his dismal start to the season has no bearing on his talent. Maybe he was putting on a show for other clubs interested in acquiring him. Either way, Corey Hart was on a mission during the Home Run Derby Tuesday night. “Anytime you make the [All Star] team it’s good, but to basically just point a … [Read more...] about Corey Hart Proves He is Star Material, Sometimes
The pros and cons of Interleague Play
Another year of Interleague baseball (and an American League victory) is in the books, and unfortunately for the haters, it was deemed a success by Major League Baseball. Commissioner Bud Selig's brainchild surely won't be going anywhere anytime soon. By Jake McCormick … [Read more...] about The pros and cons of Interleague Play
How Many Milwaukee Brewers are All-Stars?
Besides Ryan Braun, who on the Milwaukee Brewers team is All-Star material this year? Is Yovani Gallardo deserving of a pitching spot? Does Corey Hart have a chance? What would it mean for the man whose rough March and April has all but been forgotten? “Anytime you make the team it’s good, but to basically just point a finger at the Brewers and say ‘I told you so’ would … [Read more...] about How Many Milwaukee Brewers are All-Stars?
