Game 115: Astros 8 Brewers 5

Fielder and Braun
make Roy Oswalt look silly
but that's about it.

Baseball baffler:
When does slider have no slide?
When thrown by Weathers
~Scott

Game 104 Brewers: 6 Dodgers: 5

Rocking swivel hips
shoulders curl in, eyes squint
Manny's a dead man
~Scott

Braun launches a bomb
Hoffman struggles but closes
I slept through it all

Parra for the course
Parra-chutes to the rescue
Parra-mount success

Gallardo mows Nats

New murderer's row
Braun, Fielder and ... Counsel?

62 to play

Game 94: Brewers 4, Braves 9

evasive action
pitch gives batter a wide berth
just a bit outside
~Scott

Back to sea level
Brewers need pitching life raft
Braves still rule this town
-dz

Sub-Parra outing
Lopez sits out another
Counsel only hope
-db

Braun's bomb ties it up
Scratch pessimistic-ku
Unless McClung throws
-db

Chipper's bomb breaks tie
Pessimisitic-ku back on
Sellers not buyers

With Braunless line up
Slack picked up by Craig Counsel
Is 3 career high?

Game 87: Brewers 9, Reds 6

McClung's best out pitch
keeps his toe on the rubber
by trapping his boss
~Scott

All starters score runs
But McClung gets his bell rung
Hoffman gets it done
-dz

All stars come out strong
But three hole slump continues
Braun should trade himself
-db

Game 83: Brewers 0, Cardinals 5

He hit that grand slam
So when Braun opens his mouth
You know he has clout.
~Scott

Home stand starts with thud
Hopefully Braun working phones
To improve the team

Braun's mystery ailment
Intercostal blues

Game 16: Brewers 5, Astros 2

Yovani goes the
distance, holding the Astros
on the launching pad.
-ck
Rickie, Corey, Braun,
Prince and Mike, JJ, Kendall,
each reach, bats alive.

Brew Crew Haiku's bad
Only one reference to Yo
Many more to come

Game 15: Brewers 6, Phillies 1

Great Phillies offense
Reduced to tatters again
Pitching staff shows life
-dz

Live box score
Flashes Matt Stairs' long home run
Maybe next time, Bush
-dz

No-no into Eighth
Bush hurls a gem, Crew taking
series from Phillies.
-ck

Braun is on fire
gets to Phils' Lidge in Ninth, who
then drills Prince, high heat.
-ck

4/22/2009

Game 12: Brewers 4, Phillies 11

Rains fall, extending
Seventh, offense just dreary,
Crew falls in Philly.
-ck

Silver in the clouds
Braun swats a pair, drives in four,
Five hits, career best.
-ck

Swirling playoff ghosts
Mock last year's optimism
Hollow sweeping thud
-db

Milwaukee's new era:
Phillies the new Cardinals
'82 replaced
-db

4/19/2009

Game 11: Brewers 0, Mets 1

Duel of pitchers
Bats silenced, Crew falls to the
Metropolitans

Braun futile effort
Strike 'em out, then throw 'em out
Double-play ending
-db

October 4 - Brewers 4, Phillies 1 (playoffs!)

Towels waving like
Emotion given substance
And white untucked shirts
-DZ

Couldn't see Hart's drop
Hidden in right field corner
Only flaw of night
-DZ

Hardy and Bill Hall
Fielding like Ozzie and Brooks
Gloves golden for night
-DZ

Three games, no dingers
Fielder and Braun simmering
Waiting to explode
-DZ

September 28 - Brewers: 3 Cubs: 1

Let us not forget
on this celebration day
Wes Helms' hit sank Mets

Like a prize fighter
Bloodied but not defeated
Brewers still standing
~SA

Get outta here-- gone!!!!
Braun and Sabathia mean
No football today
-DZ

Opening Day hopes
Realized through seasoned play
October's sweet call

Victory. Collapse.
This is ours. Another their's.
Winners and losers.

Mazeroski Fisk
Gibson Henderson Thompson
Carter and now BRAUN!!!!

September 25 - Brewers: 5 Pirates: 1 (10 innings)

With bases loaded
Braun sends mighty swing to left
Ball swallowed by crowd

9/15/2008

Sept. 14 - Brewers 3, Phillies 7 (doubleheader)

Off-season moves haunt:
Braun's defense scores losing run
Bullpen can't keep close

No chance of winning
Always sunny in Philly
Total acceptance

Two first-class tickets,
A beach, sun, mojito ...
Parra needs a rest
