Big Day for Brewers

The Brewers blew a big opportunity yesterday when they allowed the Cubs to put up 7 runs on them. The Cubs basically started all of their backups and the Brewers failed to capitalize.

The Mets put up a win to bring the Wild Card back into a tie.

Today is by far the biggest game in Miller Parks short history. With the Mets starting an hour earlier than the Brewers you can bet their will be plenty of scoreboard watching throughout this contest. A win by the Brewers and a loss by the Mets, the Brewers are in. A loss by the Brewers and a win by the Mets, the Brewers are done. If they both win or both lose, then a one game playoff tomorrow in NY between the Mets and Brewers to decide who gets in.

Go BREWERS!!!

Brewers take Wild Card Lead

The Milwaukee Brewers are riding high after winning their 5th straight game. Beating the Brewers behind a key Rickie Weeks Pinch Hit Home Run.

The Mets dropped another game, this time to the Florida Marlins and have given the Brewers back the Wild Card lead.

The Brewers will send Ben Sheets and CC Sebathia to the mound the final 2 games of the regular season

Brewers Keep Pace

Ryan Braun was the Hero of game 3 against the Pirates. In dramatic fashion the Brewers went into the 10th inning tied with the Pirates 1-1. The score board showed that the Mets had beaten the Cubs in the bottom of the 9th.

Bases loaded for Ryan Braun with 2 outs. Ryan Braun does it and hits a walk off GRAND SLAM!!!! BREWERS WIN!!!!

Brewers Tied in Wild Card Race!!!!

The Milwaukee Brewers did their part beating the Pirates behind CC Sebathia. The Cubs did their part in dramatic fashion in a 9-6 win in the 10th inning. The game had the lead going back and forth and Brewer fans up in arms when the Cubs pitcher walked a Met to fill the bases with 2 outs and then walked in the tying run. But they pulled out the win. The Phillies also lost.

The Brewers are now tied with the Mets in the Wild Card Race. The Brewers have one more with the Pirates and 3 with the Cubs. The Mets have one more with the Cubs and then the Marlins.

Brewers Struggle, Get Win!!!

The Brewers got off to a quick start in the 1st when Ryan Braun tripled and scored on an error driving in Cameron to put the Brewers up 2-0. The Pirates came right back in the 2nd, scoring 3. The game see sawed late with the lead trading hands.

The Brewers already knew that the Mets had beaten the Cubs, but the Phillies had lost. A win was needed to keep pace.

The game went into the 9th all tied up at 5. The Brewers sent Torres to the mound to keep it that way. Morgan got a lead off hit for the Pirates, Sanchez successfully bunted him to 2nd. McClouth was intentionally walked to set up the double play. Doumit flew out to Braun for the second out. Mientkiewicz came to the plate 0-2 lifetime against Torres, and grounded out to Bill Hall at third base.

Bottom of the 9th brings up the top of the order for the Brewers. TJ Beam sent to the mound for the Pirates. Cameron leads off with a strike out. Durham pops out to the catcher in foul territory. Braun singles to the Shortstop. Prince Fielder ends it with a walk off Home Run to Center Field.

Brewers Fans now Cub Fans?!

Brewers fans are most definitely Chicago Cubs fans right now. With the Brewers 1.5 games back of the Mets, for the next 4 games the Brewers fans and players better be putting some cheers toward the boys from down south. The Cubs have a 4 game series with the Mets
before they return to Miller Park to finish up regular Season Play.

The Cubs will need to beat the Mets, The Brewers have to get by Pittsburgh, and then the Brewers will need to fend off the Cubs for the final 3 at Miller Park.

What an exciting time of year!!!

Brewers Still in Race

Prince Fielder gave the Brewers life with a big 8-1 win over the Reds. The Mets stumbled in Atlanta and now the Brewers head home for the final 6 games only 1.5 games out. The Brewers will play the Pirates and root for the Cubs to beat the Mets. Then the Brewers will have to finish off with 3 games against those Cubs.

The Cubs have clinched the division.

Brewers Collapse in the 9th

The Brewers were on a roll. Putting up offense that has lately eluded them. Going into the bottom of the 9th up 6-2. Then the world stopped....the Cubs tied the game with 4 runs, then won it in the 12th.

Did the Brewers lose it in the 9th or could you look earlier at the game when JJ Hardy was thrown out at home, with nobody out. Then the caught stealing at 3rd by Hart to make it two outs. The Brewers would have had runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, but instead they ran themselves out of a potential big inning.

You could ask Bush how you can not score on a double by Durham. All opportunities that most likely were the difference in this game.

Either way, it is nice to see the offense producing again. Even though the pain is still there and getting worse with every loss.

MPS going out of Business?

The Milwaukee School Board voted 6-3 on Thursday night to begin looking into dissolving the school system.

Although this move appears to be basically the board admitting that they can't solve the problems that are facing them. They have failed for quite some time, and continue to fail. This vote was to tell the public that if you don't give us more money to waste then we will just close the doors.

What a laugh. Go ahead and close it down. Get rid of all of you incompetent people. Then we can go in and set it back up.

Sounds good doesn't it! The problem is, the public. Yes we have told them we will give them no more money, but where are we when it is election time and time to hold them accountable. If they don't do their jobs get their butts out of there.

Who's better?

As the campaign for President heats up and the election draws nearer, the waters get murkier.

I haven't been a huge supporter of McCain's, but I didn't necessarily support Obama either. I really didn't seem to have a horse in this race until the last few weeks.

Politics is a dirty sport. You play to win at all costs, or so it appears. I like Sarah Palin as a choice for VP and it peeked my interest. I pretty much knew what I would get with Biden, not really impressive. I liked the Palin pick because she and her family seemed like your normal American family. Not from the DC web.

Now, here is where things change. The ridiculous way the election has come out. The treatment of not only Sarah Palin, but her whole family. The personal attacks on her daughter, Obama sending a team of lawyers and people to dig up dirt on her. The hacking of personal emails. I don't believe that Obama sent someone to hack her emails, but the reaction from the people on his side has made me scratch my head. They say that it is public domain, therefore allowed. I thought that these same people fought the Patriot Act saying that it is private and would be an attack on our civil liberties?

I have found myself more and more angry at the mistruths and outright lies. I beleive that both sides use the tactic of skirting the truth to make themselves look better by making the opposition look bad. McCain has lobbyist running parts of his campaign, Obama has former leaders of organizations that we are now bailing out due to their mismanagement. They are the ones who are partially responsible for this economic crash. Does that mean Obama doesn't know what he is doing with the economy? If you use the Obama logic of McCain's lobby connection then yes Obama would drive the market further into the ground.

If you vote based on the Ads, you have done a real disservice to yourself, your family, your country. Get the facts!!!!
