I am crazy about the Brewers, so I started this blog as a way to get some of my thoughts on the record. I hope people enjoy the effort I take in sharing my opinions, that sometimes even come with facts. I hope to be the good luck charm that drives the Brew Crew to a division title in 2011.

Brace yourselves folks. Yuni Betancourt was named the Milwaukee Player of the Month. Improbable would be the best word to describe that achievement. I’m not sure if that is a compliment to Yuni or an indictment of the other 24 bums on... read more »
