A question for the Milwaukee bromigos: what's with the rage directed at Craig Counsell? I get a certain level of animosity over rejection, but these past four days went to eleven. The booing was visceral, and way disproportionate to the situation. He signed a 40 million dollar contract that...

The Bears seemed the inevitable choice.

Craig Counsell pulls Brown with a no-hitter (10 K's) at 93 pitches. Sal Frelick breaks up the no-hitter off Hayden Wesneski.

You Got A No-No Going: Ben Brown through seven in Milwaukee. What a great trade that has become--Brown from Philadelphia for a few months of 37 year-old David Robertson.

Who has ever had a better first step than Kyrie? Iverson and maybe Rod Strickland? Those are the two names that come to mind. I am sure there are others but that list is not long.

Nice shot, Chet.

Nice shot, Myles!!
