Again, WORLD SERIES:

THE BREWERS WIN THE PENNANT AND ARE HEADED TO THE WORLD SERIES!

Another beautiful Double Victory Monday in Wisconsin! Brewers take Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers and the Packers throttle the Bears. Bullpen was tremendous and Turang hits a massive home run. Love has his best QB rating of his career and the defense forces 5 turnovers. Back in the blender tonight:

Brewers end their road playoff drought and punch their ticket to the NLCS! And a home run robbery of Manny Machado to boot! Now it's a rematch with the Dodgers. Buckle up.

One of the greatest Wisconsin sports weekend of ALL TIME! Brewers take a 2-0 series lead in the NLDS.

Badgers try to build on their win for homecoming on Saturday, the Post Giannis Era of Bucks basketball gets underway:

Packers reach a new low, getting blown out at home by the 0-2 Falcons. Feels like the LaFleur Era is unofficially over, just a matter of when Ed Policy wants to admit it. Time for an airing of grievances! Better news: The Brewers won their 100th game last night AND locked in the #1 overall seed for October. Badgers get a test at Penn State Saturday: 

For the first time since Episode 324, we've got a VICTORY MONDAY! Ugly, ugly ugly ugly, but better an ugly win than an ugly loss. Good day for the defense and special teams, and some significant injuries as well. Brewers win their franchise record 98th win with a sweep in Baltimore, Badgers get a real challenge this Saturday: 

Brewers are NL Central champs for a 4th straight year! Don't take it for granted! Another series win, need a 5-4 record to win 100. Packers stare down a (pretty much) must win on Sunday. Make a move on the offensive line. Badgers....well they play a game on Saturday:

Packers begin the season exactly how they ended last year, with an epic collapse. Officiating was bad, offensive line was bad, coaching was bad. Only one week in, but a disheartening start after preaching "finishing" all offseason. Badgers also uninspiring against an FCS school. The good news? It's baseball season! The best team in baseball wraps up a 5-1 homestand:

Brewers SWEEP the Cubbies! They can clinch a postseason spot this weekend. Packers/Vikings get the season started on Sunday, Josh Jacobs pleads no contest in his court appearance. Badgers looking for a blowout and some mailbag questions:

Packers win a preseason finale thriller, then swing 3 trades on cutdown day. Josh Jacobs hits the Commissioner's Exempt list, he can't play or practice while he's on it. Less than two weeks from the opener in Minnesota. Brewers win another series, Cubs drop one, so an 8 game lead heading in to Wrigley tonight: 

Brewers take a series in New York, Pat Murphy benches Cooper Pratt on Tuesday. Packer preseason finale last night, and a LOT of news on Josh Jacobs yesterday. They also sign Jonnu Smith and debut alternate jerseys for their October game against the Bears:

Back from vacation! Review of Mammoth Cave/Smokies/Congaree and a long road trip (Buc-ees!). Brewers take a series from Atlanta, dropping the finale in the Little League Classic. Interesting injury update on Brandon Woodruff. Packers take down Denver, Trey Smack looks GOOD!

A bad Brewer week gets rescued by a HUGE comeback in the 9th inning in LA. Brice Turang has a knee injury, series continues tonight as the Cubs sit 4 games back. Packers lose in Pittsburgh but Special Teams looked competent! Trey Smack was perfect on the night and hit a couple of 58 yarders. Bucks schedule is released, as expected, the national TV attention is GONE:

Makes a 3rd straight Dodgers' World Series and a lockout in 2027 feel almost inevitable. Packers back at practice today, Tucker Kraft OFF of the PUP list over the weekend: 

Brewers drop a series in San Francisco, continue their West Coast trip with the trade deadline looming. Packers open camp, Packer HOF induction sees Earl Dotson and Tramon Williams get their jackets. And, MAILBAG episode:

Brewers take a series from Colorado and go 7-2 on their homestand. Alumni Game on Friday was A++, Miz on Sunday was A+++. It is shareholder meeting day in Green Bay, first training camp practice is on Wednesday. We got a Tony Romo mugshot from  Milwaukee and LeBron to Philly:

Brewers take another series and Joey Ortiz is RED hot. Homestand wraps up this weekend and the Alumni game today! Some Dame/Giannis Twitter drama, Giannis says he wants to come back to Milwaukee at the end of his career, Aaron Rodgers reunites with his family and the Badgers are back on 620 WTMJ:  

Brewers SWEEP the Marlins to open the second half with a Wild Bill Walkoff on Sunday! Bad news on Woody who is having a second major shoulder surgery. Freddy Peralta back on the Am Fam Field mound tonight to take on Miz, could the Brewers just trade to get him back? Giannis had his introduction to the Miami media, and we remember the Bucks clinching the title 5 years ago today:

Brewer first half ends with a thud in Pittsburgh. Swept, Kyle Harrison hits the IL and Miz gets Sunday off with arm fatigue. Derby tonight, All Star game Tuesday and then a 9-game homestand to start the second half. Bucks are back on free TV! Channel 24 this upcoming season. They also sign Gary Trent to one of the worst contracts in franchise history:

Brewers take 4 out of 5 in St. Louis! Luis Lara makes his debut, Brandon Woodruff's injury update isn't great. One more series before the All Star break. Giannis posts his farewell video and an excellent interview with Jim Pashcke, Bucks trade for Caris Levert and bring back Pete Nance:

Brewers take three games from the Reds and go for the sweep today! Miz Vs. Burns, top shelf pitching matchup. Bucks sign Dieng to a 3-year deal, LeBron is leaving the Lakers, could he team up with Giannis back in Miami? And the Badgers have their new AD:

The Brewers are in a REALLY good spot at the halfway point (on pace for 100 wins), but an infuriating weekend with the Cubs at Am Fam over the weekend. Starting pitching was great, hitting was abysmal with runners on. In non-Giannis Bucks news, KPJ and Jericho Sims opt in, Gary Trent opts out:

LOTS of Giannis reaction on the email, we'll go through those. Brewers hang on for dear life to complete the sweep in Cincy on Wednesday, now a date with the Cubs at Am Fam for the first time since NLDS Game 5 last October. Miz day today:

The Giannis Era is over. 13 years in a blink! From a draft night lottery ticket in 2013, to an MVP and a champion. And honestly, might be the top reason a team is even still in Milwaukee. We'll break it all down, legacy, his chances in Miami, what the Bucks got back and what they did in the draft last night. A new era in Milwaukee. 

Cooper Pratt week! Luis Rengifo DFA-ed to make room for the 21 year old shortstop. Brewers get a series win, and a MASSIVE series starts tonight in Atlanta with Miz on the mound. Quinn Priester's season is done. I thought we'd have more Giannis clarity at this point, and instead is it as clear as mud. Draft is next Tuesday. 

We cashed tickets on the Knicks, Hurricanes (twice), and the Stanley Cup Finals going 6 or 7 games! The Miz put together one of the most dominant performances in MLB history on Friday, and the Brewers take a series from Philly. At long last, it feels like it's Giannis week. Resolution is on the way. 

Brewers play a wild series in Vegas, Tucker Kraft had a LOT to say at minicamp, and an all time NBA Finals Game 4. Then, mailbag: Biggest Packer concern, Malik Willis, Tarik Skubal to the Brewers, are the Bucks the team actually divorcing from Giannis. 

Brewers SWEEP the Rockies in Denver, fastest to 40 wins in franchise history. The Miz had an electric stare down moment with Murph on Saturday night. Stanley Cup Finals have been wildly entertaining, NBA Finals back tonight, Packer mandatory minicamp starts this week. 

Brewers split a series with the Giants, and Pablo Sanchez makes an appearance at Am Fam Field! A lot of Packer news this week: Micah Parson was back in Green Bay updating his return timeline, Josh Jacobs was at practice after his arrest and release from jail last week, and Christian Watson signs a 4 year, $110 million dollar extension. Plus some Giannis, NBA Finals, and Stanley Cup Finals bets. 

Brewers take a series in Houston despite not playing their best, Miz has been unreal but still might not be enough to win Pitcher of the Month for May. Panther baseball making noise in the NCAA Baseball Tournament, Thunder lose Game 7 to Wemby and the Spurs, could they be interested in Giannis' services in a trade?

Brewers sweep the Cardinals at home for the first time since 2011! We had Abner Uribe Crotch Chop Gate, and the Super Troopers fellas in town on Tuesday night. Josh Jacobs arrested as the Packers started OTA's on Tuesday. He was released from jail with no charges as of yet on Wednesday morning, still could be charges on the way as the DA's office wants further investigation. 

Brewers drop the series to LA over the weekend, first series loss in the month of May, but go 11-4 over a BRUTAL 15 game stretch. Then, the Miz dominates again on Memorial Day. He is appointment viewing right now. We'll also talk about the Tarps Off movement hitting Am Fam over the weekend and the Brewer response to it. Indy 500 recap, we were a split second away from a Malukas winner. What a finish. A few more Giannis trade rumors, and Packer OTA's start today.

Brewers not only sweep the Cubs, they STOMP the Cubs! Back in first place and now a series with the Dodgers over the weekend. Aaron Rodgers says this is is final year, if that's the case, the NFL needs to change the location of the Packer/Steelers preseason game to Lambeau Field. A hypothetical Giannis to Miami trade, and we make our Indy 500 pick. 

The marathon is done! I finished it, but it was a driving rain for the last 5 miles. We'll recap it (nips in good shape). Brewers take a series from the Twins on a weekend where they go 3 for 31 with runners in scoring position. Now: The first Cubs/Brewers series of the season. Rodgers and McCarthy are back together in Pittsburgh, Matt LaFleur shotguns beers at Luke Combs. 

Packer schedule is out! Certainly a lot to figure out about how they perform on the field, but I think the schedule is VERY kind. Brewers were an out away from another sweep, but do take the series against San Diego. Miz was DOMINANT on Wednesday. Myles Turner outs Giannis as a guy who, "shows up late to everything," during a podcast appearance. Not great!

Brewers sweep the Yankee with more Mother's Day Magic! This time courtesy of Brice Turang hitting a walkoff with a pink bat. Day off before the 1st place Padres are in town. The Bucks stay at #10 in the draft lottery, and more trouble for Wes Edens who was/is allegedly getting blackmailed to the tune of $1 billion dollars. Packers cut McManus, it's Trey Smack's world now. 

Brewers get a win on Wednesday in St. Louis and start a BIG series with the Yankees tonight. It's also Wall of Honor night tonight, CC Sabathia is back in town and will throw out a first pitch (and maybe a few innings)! Bucks introduce Taylor Jenkins and Jimmy Haslam is becoming more and more visible within the organization. Draft Lottery is this weekend. We've got a kickoff time for Badgers/Notre Dame at Lambeau, and it sounds like we're going to get the Aaron Rodgers/Mike McCarthy year in Pittsburgh. 

Brewers take a series in Washington, but lose Game 1 in St. Louis. Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn make their return on Monday so finally getting a little heathier. Good news on Brandon Woodruff and not great news on Quinn Priester. Packers get their backup QB replacement for Malik Wilis; veteran Tyrod Taylor. And we FINALLY got the Jonathan Gannon/Cam Achord press conferences on Monday.
