David DeJesus Drew A Walk And Got Hit By A Pitch During The Same Plate Appearance
Last night, someone in the Cubs' bullpen plunked the Cubs' own batter, David DeJesus, who had just drawn a walk to lead off the eighth. That same bullpen then gave up nine runs in the ninth. May the Cubs never cease being the Cubs....
Bernie Brewer Wished Randy Wolf A Happy Birthday Right Before Milwaukee Released Him
Bernie Brewer is a fun-loving mascot, even by mascot standards. He wears a mustard mustache and brings joy and malty hops to all the children of the greater Milwaukee area. Usually. Sometimes he has a sick sense of humor. Sometimes he's a raging asshole. Like today....
The Brewers Are Still Depressed About The Greinke Trade And It's Bumming Everyone Else Out, Too

Zack Greinke Has Been Traded To The Angels
MLB just announced the deal, and Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi are saying the Angels are sending shortstop Jean Segura and two minor leaguers to Milwaukee. Safe to say the Brewers have given up on 2012, and the AL West race is going to be completely insane....
Carlos Gomez Completely Rounded The Bases Before Learning His Home Run Sailed Foul
Brewers centerfielder Carlos Gomez had reason to be excited here. Had the ball been fair, it would have been just the third time in his career—and first time in four years—he led off a game with a home run. Apparently no one told him until he was about halfway between third base and home, which gene...

There Was An Inferior Substitute To Front-Row Amy At Yesterday's Brewers Game

Rickie Weeks Would Have Tried To Turn A Double Play, But He Forgot
The situation: Giants-Brewers, top of the second. Runners on first and second, one out. Brandon Crawford bounces one toward Cesar Izturis at short, but a chance to turn an inning-ending double play instead becomes a routine 6-4 putout because Rickie Weeks has a brain fart and thinks he just recorded...
Brewers Closer John Axford Blows Save, Endears Himself To Media Anyway
Normally when a player fails to "take his lumps" or "stand up and face the music" or however else you'd like to phrase "talk to the media after screwing up," he is taken to task. John Axford, however, had a pretty good excuse and let the media know via handwritten message....

How The Doping Case Against Ryan Braun Fell Apart: One Theory
The conventional wisdom on Ryan Braun's overturned doping suspension is that it was a triumph of cautious proceduralism over substantive justice—a victory for protocol and a rare (and for my money not entirely unwelcome) defeat for the drug cops. Baseball's testing program caught a juicer, the think...

Curt Hogg is a high-school junior who lives in Brown Deer, Wis.

Ryan Braun Drug Test Saga Now Officially Screwball Comedy

Ryan Braun's Appeal Is Successful, He Won't Serve PED Suspension
Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that an arbitration panel has ruled in Braun's favor, and thrown out the mandatory 50-game suspension for a positive drug test in October.
