The top five Wisconsin sports stories in October
The top sports story of September is a no-brainer. The Brewers' roller coaster ride to the post-season as the National League Wild Card is an easy choice. After blowing a 5 ½-game lead, the Brewers went down to the last game on Sunday, won by a great pitching performance by CC Sabathia and a clutch home run by Ryan Braun.

A Brewers fan with a Philly address
Upon moving to the Philadelphia area over Labor Day weekend I was indifferent towards the Phillies and their fans. Like the rest of Brewers Nation I have been focused on our team's run at the postseason. Plus, hatred of the Cubs and their fans has nothing to do with one's proximity to Chicago, where I most recently lived. I detest them now as much as ever.

Brewers charge into the playoffs; will face Phillies
Led by leftfielder Ryan Braun (pictured) and indomitable pitcher CC Sabathia, the Brewers defeated the Cubs, 3-1, before a sellout crowd of 45,299 Sunday at Miller Park. A few minutes later, the Mets lost to the Marlins in New York, giving the Brewers the National League wild card berth and their first trip to the playoffs since 1982.

This could be one of the greatest days in Milwaukee sports history. On the other hand, it could be one of the worst.

Even before the gates open, the tension at the ballpark is thick.

How Brewers can keep both Sheets and Sabathia
Baseball pundits have said that it's impossible for the Brewers to keep both Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia next year, and even keeping one of the two is a long-shot, at best. Fine, but show us the proof.
