      On that note: Thirteen memorable Milwaukee Brewers walk-offs in past 10 years
      Most have embedded Youtube clips. My favorite part of the article, even though it lacks clips, is
      2013 full of ‘remember these guys?’ walk-offs

      April 17, 2013: Blake Lalli hit a game-winning RBI single in the ninth to beat the Giants, 4-3.

      July 21, 2013: Caleb Gindl hit a walk-off home run against Ryan Webb as the Brewers beat the Marlins in 13 innings, 1-0.

      September 15, 2013: Sean Halton hit a home run against Zach Duke to beat the Reds, 6-5. Halton also drove in a run in the seventh, and the Brewers scored three in the eighth to tie.

      September 27, 2013: Logan Schafer’s squeeze bunt lifted the Brewers to a 4-3 win over the Cubs.

        Speaking of walkoffs.. I also enjoyed last night's game. This team is definitely not boring. I mean, 2 games in a row with 3 errors? Who else can generate that kind of excitement?

          Yelich is finally back and starting today.

          Heading to the game today. I saw the club section while volunteering for the MPS Science fair last week, and it's more redecorating than remodeling (although there are cool murals highlighting important events in Brewers' history). There are also rumors of a build-your-own-nachos/tacos stand and I intend to investigate.

              I am thoroughly impressed with FS-Wisconsin's coverage of the Brewers games, including field reporter Sophia Minnaert. With her being fluently bi-lingual, she's always able to converse with the players or their family in their native language. She just had a touching interview with Freddy Peralta's mom, who had flown in with family to watch her son pitch for the Sky Sox last night, only to be told that he was being called up to pitch today.

                Coshun, though... blech. Rest of the crew is great. I also like Matt Lepay as the Interim BA.

                The smile on Freddy Peralta's face when he came out of that game was outstanding.

                  I know it's early, but guess which team has the most wins in the NL?

                  They are definitely exciting.

                    I'm unsure if following Kato Kaelin on Twitter has been good for my sanity regarding this team. Every time I see him tweet about the team, it's how Counsell needs to be fired, how the pitching staff continually blows games, and everyone is useless.

                    I was genuinely surprised to see that they lead the division this past weekend.

                      you could've stopped that sentence after "sanity" I do not understand people who only complain about sports. It must be pretty miserable to be them.

                      One of my favorite Brewer stories this year is Jeffress. What an amazing year after struggling in Texas. Also nice to see Johnny V. out of the doghouse.

                      If they keep this up, they'll be buyers at the deadline.

                          3 (Nelson, Jeffress, Braun), but point taken. It's amazing how fast the turnover happened!

                            Jeffress is not "still" a Brewer. He was a Ranger, and now he's a Brewer again, which is why I specified that another one left and came back.

                              Sogard and Adrian Houser called up, Erik Kratz acquired from Yankees for PTBNL or cash. Jett Bandy DFAed, Lopez and Arcia sent to Colo Springs. Guess that's not TOO surprising, Arcia hasn't hit all year... but I am still a little surprised. I'm sure this is also related to Saladino's OPS.

                                Still in first place (although it really doesn't matter). Shutting out the Cubs two games in a row is certainly pleasant.

                                Knebel still can't throw his curveball for a strike, but apparently it doesn't matter TOO much.

                                p.s. I finally had a Johnsonville brat. My official stance is it's a downgrade from Klements.
