    The Sabathia Subway Series Has Begun

    Both the Mets and Yankees believe that they have one more large object to intsall in their brand new ballparks, and it ain't a deep fryer; although it will consume many, many cheese fries. Today is the day that teams can begin negotiating with free agents from other teams, and both of New York's resident MLB baseball squads want CC Sabathia in the worst way. More »

    NLDS Game 2: Phillies-Brewers

    On the left, it's CC Sabathia. On the right, it's Brett Myers. The Phillies want that delicious 2-0 lead in the NLDS, and the Brewers want to go back to Milwaukee with at least one game dominated by hops and barley. She's jump, she's jump, she's jump, she's in my head. More »

    Baby Sees First Brewers' Playoff Game, Cries, Spits Up

    Award for most hardcore baseball fan, NL Central, goes to Niki O'Connor of Milwaukee. Not only did she walk to Miller Park while nine months pregnant to see the Brewers play the Cubs on the last day of the regular season, but she went into labor during the game, and refused to leave. The fun began when Ryan Braun hit a two-run homer in the eighth to give the Brewers a 3-1 lead. More »

    Carlos Ruiz Just Can't Get Any Respect

    Poor Carlos Ruiz. Sure, the squatty Phillies catcher has been an offensive liability all season, but he was one of the only players to get an actual hit yesterday without the aid of shoddy Brewers' defense. Still, the man affectionately known as "CHOOCH" by his teammates was the victim of an unfortunate typo on yesterday's TBS broadcast. Those of you attending CBP for tonight's game should adjust your Ruiz fanclub signage accordingly. More »

    Not A Bad Way to Spend a Wednesday Afternoon in the Rain

    One jumbo hot dog. One cheeseburger. One heat lamp Schmitter. Seven beers. 1-0.

    The only thing that was pretty about it was Cole Hamels who did everything he was supposed to do as the reluctant ace of the staff. Other than that — thank you Mike Cameron. I guess his glove is also no longer using performance enhancers. Tomorrow it gets ugly as the suddenly jittery Brett Myers faces off against C. C. and his chubby bionic arm. There is a surprising amount of confidence in Philadelphia, even though the Phils, for the most part, played like dogshit today. The bats were limp and Brad Lidge suddenly looks as vulnerable as Leitch said he would. More »

    NLDS Preview: Phillies Vs. Brewers


    At a certain level, it has to be tempting for Brewers manager Dale Sveum to just start C.C. Sabathia every game of this series. Obviously, that's not actually feasible, but who cares about Sabathia's future? The Brewers are losing him anyway. Ride the guy until he dies. Let the Yankees pay the price three years from now.

    Prince Fielder Would Like To Invite You To Milwaukee's Erotic Playoff-Clinching Festivities

    Perhaps the most joyful of playoff entrants this year are the Milwaukee Brewers, who just a couple weeks ago were in the midst of an epic free-fall out of wild card contention. Ned Yost was shown the door, Dale Sveum moved over to the manager's stoop (and didn't wave anyone home from the dugout), their bats woke up, and C.C. Sabathia continued his difference-making pitching performances that appear well worth the price of Matt LaPorta's future excellence. More »

    Mets Close Out Shea as Losers; Brewers Go Wild

    CC Sabathia, Milwaukee's big time mid-season acquisition, stepped up on the final day of the season to help the Brewers clinch the National League Wild Card spot with a win over the Cubs. Ryan Braun was once again the hero as his 2 run homer in the 8th put them ahead for good. The Brew Crew clinched a playoff birth roughly 45 minutes after their win as the Mets bullpen did what it has been doing all season long: blowing games. More »

    Game 162: Win or Go Home (or Play Again Tomorrow)

    • Mets 2, Marlins 0
    Johan Santana pitched the gem that the New York faithful needed from him. It was an absolutely impressive complete game, three hit shutout. But man, was it bizarre to hear Mets Manager Jerry Manuel talk about the game afterward, "Wow, wow, wow, wow. I think if I had to describe that one, I’d say that was gangsta. That’s gangsta. That’s serious gangsta right there.” Gangsta? Serious gangsta? Really? The only thing that'd make that quote more strange is if Charlie Manuel had said it. More »

    Strange Brew: Ryan Braun, Of All People, Keeps Milwaukee In The Chase

    • Brewers 5, Pirates 1 (10 innings). Brew Crew Ball called it: This morning is the appropriate time for the untucking of shirts. Come on, untuck 'em! Wait ... is that, Brewers underwear? Oh Jesus. Well, tuck it back in, I guess. Ryan Braun was hitting .198 in September, with one home run and five RBI; not the most likely candidate to wind up as the hero. But his walkoff grand slam with two out in the bottom of the 10th gave the Brewers their fourth straight win, providing a moment of delirium for a Miller Park crowd which had been conditioned not to expect that kind of thing. Losing 15 of 19 to start the month will do that. But the Brewers stayed tied with the Mets for the wild-card lead, and all things are still possible. Rickie Weeks led off the bottom of the 10th with a single off Jesse Chavez, and Jason Kendall bunted him to second. Ray Durham was walked intentionally, Chavez struck out Mike Cameron, and Craig Counsell walked, and setting up Braun’s heroics.
    Remaining schedule(s):
    Three games versus the Cubs. More »
