Saturday Scorecard: Running a bit off course
The Brewers are sputtering into the all-star break and need a dose of leadership -- not in the form of half-cocked comments or team meetings. They need a well-pitched game, a big two-out hit and some improved play. In the next two days and next week in Cincinnati, somebody is going to have to step forward like Charlie Steiner in the old ESPN commercial and say "Follow me! Follow me to freedom!" or it's going to be a long second half.

Saturday Scorecard: A game worth shouting about
Another home opener is in the books, with the Brewers taking a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Cubs when Rickie Weeks slid home with the winning run. That touched off a celebration at Miller Park and inspired a lot of notes for the Scorecard.

Saturday Scorecard: The Brewers' closing argument
It's hard to blame the Brewers for inserting Carlos Villanueva into the closer's role while Trevor Hoffman recovers from a strained oblique muscle. Villanueva always seems cool under fire, so it's not a stretch to think that he can handle the job. There is, however, one slight problem. Moving Villanueva to the back end of the game weakens the Brewers' bullpen in the critical sixth-seventh-eighth segment of the game that often means the difference between victory and defeat.

Saturday Scorecard: The man who should be King
Cleveland wunderkind LeBron James is moving to the top of the top of the depth chart in terms of sports superstars, a field that has become less populous after the travails of marquee players like A-Rod and Michael Vick. James, who dropped 55 points in a victory over the Bucks Friday night at the Bradley Center, seems capable of handling the task. All he needs is to win a title, stay out of trouble and remain in Ohio.
