Handicapping the odds for next Brewers manager

Published Oct. 17, 2008 at 12:44 p.m.

OK, I lied. I said I wasn't going to blog any more about the Brewers this year.

But with a decision imminent on the next Brewers' manager, I started looking at the options available and decided to place some odds on the following chances. (This blog is for entertainment purposes only -- but mostly because you'd surely lose money if you wagered on any of these ridiculous odds):

Dale Sveum: 2 to 1
Bob Brenly: 6 to 1
Ken Macha: 8 to 1
Willie Randoph: 8 to 1
Bobby Valentine: 10 to 1
Mike Hargrove: 14 to 1
Gabe Kapler (player/manager): 15 to 1
Robin Yount: 19 to 1
Paul Molitor: 27 to 1
Phil Garner: 35 to 1
Mark Attanasio: 40 to 1
Bob Uecker: 55 to 1
Johnny Logan: 250 to 1
Pat Listach: 300 to 1
Del Crandall: 400 to 1
Tom Trebelhorn: 938 to 1
Larry Krystkowiak: 1,200 to 1
Guido the Doorman: 1,752 to 1
Miller High Life Delivery Guy: 2,000 to 1
Ned Yost: 1,000,000 to 1
Andy Tarnoff: 10,000,000 to 1

I know that the second half of these "odds" is a joke, but I'd say the odds of Pat Listach being the next manager of the Brewers, though remote, are much better than Mark Attanasio being the next manager. Listach is actually a rising managerial star in the Cubs minor league organization, I believe.

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.
