Ted Lilly might not have had the All-Star Game in mind when the season started, but he did have the thought of another game gnawing at his psyche -- a playoff game.

For Milwaukee Brewers fans, it's a nice predicament to be in, I guess -- to be able to complain about a first-place team.

Congrats to Brewers OF Ryan Braun making his second straight All Star Game. Prince Fielder and Yovani Gallardo shoujd be joining him.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel rites that Milwaukee Brewers ' GM Doug Melvin wants to make a trade but is finding it difficult to match-up well with another team's wants.

Despite the fact the Cubs ranked first in National League pitching in June with a 3.18 earned-run average, while the Milwaukee Brewers were last at 5.37, the Cubs gained no ground in the divisional race.

Even before the Milwaukee Brewers closed out their eventful nine-game homestand, Ken Macha had judged it a success.

To quote Al Michaels, "Do you believe in miracles?" The New York Mets actually won a baseball game on Wednesday, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 1-0 on the shoulders of a tremendous performance by Mike Pelfrey.

It's no great secret J.J. Hardy is a streaky hitter. The good news for the Milwaukee Brewers is their shortstop is in the midst of a hot streak.

MILWAUKEE - The popularity of the Milwaukee Brewers franchise continues to rise.

If the Chicago Cubs are going to win a third straight National League Central title, they are going to have to pick it up offensively.

Derrek Lee hit a grand slam and a three-run homer Thursday night for a career-high seven RBIs, and the Chicago Cubs opened an 11-game homestand by beating the Milwaukee Brewers 9-5. Lee drove his 10th career grand slam off reliever Chris Smith in the fourth after connecting for a three-run shot off starter Seth McClung in the first.

So this is what it must have felt like to watch the '62 Mets.

The Milwaukee Brewer' pitching staff has been inconsistent, to say the least. But Milwaukee has another issue that probably needs addressing if a fruitful postseason berth is going to happen.

Following his closed-door team meeting after yet another loss Tuesday night, Mets manager Jerry Manuel decided his players should ride the bus to Miller Park late Wednesday morning instead of taking taxis.

So much for giving David Wright a day off. Mets manager Jerry Manuel scrapped his plan to rest Wright on Wednesday after the team lost its fifth game in a row Tuesday to the Brewers.

For the record, Trevor Hoffman has no problem coming into a tied game in the ninth inning.
