This morning, I woke up at 6:00am – the earliest for me in ages – and tomorrow I’ll be doing the same. Except today was to go to a work meeting, and tomorrow is to go to Wrigley Field to watch a #SHARKATTACK on the San Francisco Giants. In the meanwhile, here are some great links… Read more »

Brewers look for their first series win tonight at Wrigley
After walking off on Opening Day, the Milwaukee Brewers lost five games in a row (including two that I attended) before beating the Chicago Cubs last night to snap the streak. Norichika Aoki had an incredible day in the leadoff spot: 3-for-4 with two walks. The Crew struck early, hitting Edwin Jackson up for 4… Read more »
I-94 series kicks off (sort of)
The Milwaukee Brewers and the Chicago Cubs kick off their 2013 season series today. Sort of. The first meaningful meeting of the Cubs and Brewers occurs on the Wrigley Field home opener, 1:20pm on April 8th. But this is the first time these two teams have squared off in Spring Training. The Cubs send a… Read more »
Double Recap: Brewers finish the 2012 season
This past week, I was fortunate enough to attend two games at Miller Park for free before the 2012 season came to a close – a 7-0 loss on Sunday and a 4-3 victory on Tuesday. The first tickets were from Ryan Braun and John Axford and I attended with my parents and grandma, and… Read more »
At least Reed didn’t pitch, and Axford is pretty cool
Something about this picture really struck me as funny. Fortunately or unfortunately, I did not catch Friday’s five+ hour, after midnight, 13 inning spectacle between the Chicago Cubs and the Milwaukee Brewers. I was out volunteering at a Boy Scout camp and had no access to internet. All I could do is refresh Twitter and… Read more »
Rival Report 5/1: Recylcin’ Reds, beer tent accident, and a farmhand no-hitter
Last night was pretty good for me. I hung out with a few close friends watching the Chicago Cubs game, waiting to hear back from the UWM Post on my application for the Assistant News Editor job. Even though the Cubs lost, I personally felt like they had a chance during the top of the… Read more »
Recap: Brewers, Axford hold on for Monday night win
I’ve got to be honest, the first game I attended of the 2012 regular season was probably the least attention I’ve ever paid when visiting a big league ballpark. It was more about spending some time with my friends (six of them, to be precise) and taking in the feeling of being surrounded by baseball fans once… Read more »
Position Prerankings: RF, SS, 2B
Note: In the mini-series “Position Prerankings,” I’ll go position-by-position for each team in the NL Central and say which projected starter I’d rather have on my team this season, along with a runner up and honorable mention. It should be noted that we’re only talking this year’s production, so age, contract status, likeability of the… Read more »
Braun well received at BBWAA dinner
Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers appeared at the Baseball Writer’s Association of America dinner last night to accept his 2011 National League MVP award. In his first public appearance since a failed drug test was leaked, Braun handled the situation well, according to many accounts. His classy bow tie didn’t hurt either, seen in… Read more »
Rival Report 1/21: Future first basemen, Madson is official, and Counsell’s career review
MLB.com released its top 10 first baseman prospects list today, which quickly became the top link on many NL Central team’s home pages. Before the massive turnover at first the past few years, the division was home to a few long-tenured household names: Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, Derrek Lee, Lance Berkman (former ‘Stro turned Cardinal),… Read more »
