Brewers by the numbers

Published Aug. 23, 2006 at 12:05 p.m.

The Brewers had a 48-54 record when they traded Carlos Lee to Texas. They are 12-11 since. Reliever Francisco Cordero, one of the players acquired for Lee, has converted 10 of 10 save opportunities and hasn't allowed a run in 13 appearances (12 2/3 innings).

(The Brewers also have a 6-5 record since benching veteran rightfielder Geoff Jenkins).

The postseason is still a pipe dream, but there is reason to believe the Brewers will make a run at the .500 mark in the final five weeks of the season.

For those who still think the Brewers should have kept Lee or should take a run at him during free agency this winter, here is a sobering thought: Lee recently fired agent Adam Katz and has signed with Scott Boras.

Matt said: I love Cordero, but maybe the return of Sheets and Ohka has helped more than the trade.

Matt said: Tom--- Scott Boras is one of the biggest asses of baseball agents --- he would be the Drew Rosenhaus of the NFL.(Walkers, McKenzie's, and Owens agent.)

Watch Crew at block party

Milwaukee Brewers fans can watch the team play the Arizona Diamondbacks on a massive outdoor screen on May 25 in the 4th and Wisconsin parking lot across from the Hilton and Convention Center beginning at 6 p.m.

Team can't catch fire

One or two times a week, the Milwaukee Brewers strike a match at the plate, or on the mound. Eight runs here. A dominant starting pitching performance there. But the flame always seems to go out just before it can catch the rest of the wood, something that continues to frustrate fans and the team itself.

Braun, Rodgers team up

It seemed like it was only a matter of time before friends Ryan Braun and Aaron Rodgers collaborated on an off-field venture. Now, they have, with the planned opening the SURG Restaurant Group owned and operated 8-twelve in Brookfield.

Go find Chorizo!

Chorizo went missing over the weekend, and the Milwaukee Brewers now reveal why: He has spent the hours mapping and planting over 2,000 Chorizo lawn ornaments in the grass areas surrounding Miller Park and its parking lots.
