Disciples of Uecker

We’ve been moving over the course of the last week, and for the first time in five years I was able to play a Brewers’ broadcast on my home stereo. Boy, it sure felt good to hear Ueck and Block coming through my speakers, and… [More]

A cynic might say that sweeping the Houston Astros is not anything to write home about. Yet, the Brewers entered their latest series with a 4-4 season record against the Astros. The Milwaukee nine squeezed out an 8-7 victory on Monday, and responded with two… [More]

After sitting through years of awful rebuilding teams, the Mark Attanasio administration is a breath of fresh air for Milwaukee baseball fans. While I love nothing more than cheering for a bunch of ragamuffin battlers, determining whether Victor Santos threw a splitter or a change… [More]
