Just don't get Vandermeer'd and you'll be okay.

No Vandermeer. Jonathan Villar already has a hit, but they're down 2-0. Arrieta has not given up a run at Wrigley since July 2015.

Jungmann sent to Colorado Springs (because all pitchers get straightened out there) and Goforth called up. Who the hell is gonna start?

Re: 2017 Milwaukee Brewers, Back to Back Champions!

Answer: Junior Guerra.

Also, in case you're wondering who the hell Junior Guerra is.

Freeman DFAed.

Freeman DFAed.

He "pitched not once but twice for the Wichita Wingnuts of the independent American Association as well as Yucatan of the Mexican League and San Marino of the Italian Baseball League". I was waiting for the California Penal League. I'm not sure if this time can get any more like Major League.

Matchups for the Cubs series:

Tonight: Hendricks vs. Anderson
Wed: Lackey vs. Nelson
Thu: Hammel vs. Guerra

No Arrieta this time around. Not that the other guys are any better to face. Or the Cubs' offense, for that matter.

Anderson no hitting the Cubs thru 6.

I didn't think Anderson would get the no-no, but I thought he'd get a shutout. He kind of imploded in the 9th. Impressive game nonetheless. He was really mowing them down. About an hour in, it was already the 5th inning. My mom called me afterwards and said "The Brewers beat the Cubs 4-2, and I'm still disappointed. How can that be?"

Cubs interested in Braun? Don't get too excited, says Trib.

Keon Broxton coming back up, per McCalvy. Domingo "Late Scratch" Santana to the DL.

The new Bill Schroeder book is pretty entertaining (if you're a Brewers fan), and a quick read. Lots of stories I've never heard before, and some interesting behind-the-scenes info.

KEON!

was worth it to stay up late and see the smile on his face after his first hit.

Brewers wore throwback powder blue uniforms for Philly's "70's Night" on Friday. Promptly lose 6-3.

They try again today with the powder blue. Continue to play like the 1976 Brewers. Lose 8-1.


How about they never wear the powder blue again?
