Brewers losing series, 0-2 to Philly.

Come on, Brew Crew. I know you haven't been in the playoffs since 1982, but at least make a series out of it.

1,000 Post on PASSION = TRUTH! How 'bout 1.000 in the MLB playoffs for Milwaukee?

My 1,000 post on PASSION = TRUTH won't try and trump Post #999 below on the Milwaukee Brewers making it into the MLB playoffs for the first time since 1982. Yeh, I know going 1.000 as a winning percentage is a lot to ask, especially since the Brewers are underdogs.

Regardless...ask in your glory - but keep on it, Brew Crew! Good luck in the playoffs!

Brew Crew Lapping up the Suds of Victory. See ya in the National League Wildcard Playoffs!!!

First baseman Prince Fielder celebrates as the Milwaukee Brewers make their first playoff appearance since 1982. They squeaked in on the last day of their regular season by beating the Chicago Cubs (Cubs had already clinched our division) and - well, the Mets lost so we're in. We face the Phillies this Wednesday for the best of 5 series in the National League Wildcard playoffs.

Been a loooooooooong time. I was a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater when the Brew Crew was last in the playoffs. They lost in the World Series, 4-3, against the St. Louis Cardinals. We made a huge banner and climbed the tallest building on campus, Hyer Hall, to hang our artwork for the entire campus to see.

Here's more on the Brewers victory and some insight into the playoff series against Philly. For additional pix on the Brewers, click on READ MORE! Congratulations, Milwaukee Brewers, the City of Milwaukee and Wisconsin - my home diggs!!

Brewer Ryan Braun Named NL Rookie of the Year!

The Milwaukee Brewer's third baseman, Ryan Braun, was named the National League’s Rookie of the Year, announced by the Writers’ Association.

Braun edged out Colorado’s Troy Tulowitzki by just two votes, 128-126 - closest margin since the current voting format took effect in 1980. Braun led all National League rookies with 34 home runs despite playing only the last four months and he broke a Major League rookie record with a .634 slugging percentage.

Gotta admit - don't follow the Brewers anymore. When I was home in May they were leading the Cubs in their division by 7 games. That fizzled away slowly as the season went on. The last time I really paid attention was when they went to the World Series in 1982 and lost to St. Louis in seven games. Yount, Molitor, Cooper, Thomas, Vukovich (and don't forget - Bob Ueker in the press box). I remember a lot of those names.

By the way, that's the old Brewer logo. I like it better than their current one.
