Yet the guys in that 'pen wouldn't have it any other way. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersbullpenstretched.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersbullpenstretched.html?30264 Thu, 24 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT While BMO Harris Bank can crow about their name on Milwaukee's downtown entertainment destination while the rest of us simply ignore it, what they have done is nothing short of spectacular. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bmoharrisbc.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bmoharrisbc.html?30267 Wed, 23 May 2012 15:00:00 CDT The Milwaukee Brewers have announced details for the Seventh Annual Cerveceros Day events at Miller Park, which is scheduled for Saturday, June 2 as the Brewers take on the Pittsburgh Pirates at 6:10 pm. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerscervecerosday.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerscervecerosday.html?30274 Wed, 23 May 2012 12:19:00 CDT Major championship golf started for Herb Kohler and his golf courses with the 1998 U.S. Women's Open at Blackwolf Run. The championship's returns this July, reminding everyone how far the game has come in 14 years. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/uswofullcircle.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/uswofullcircle.html?30263 Wed, 23 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT In 50 professional fights Mickey Hayes lost 34 times, and in 23 of the losses he didn't go the distance. But while his chin often let him down, his heart was as stout and upright as they came, which was why 69 years ago the Cudahy heavyweight got a new designation when one of the roughest characters in boxing history wanted nothing to do with him in the ring. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/hayesgalento.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/hayesgalento.html?30244 Tue, 22 May 2012 13:04:00 CDT Hall of Famer Hank Aaron, in town to speak at Marquette University's commencement ceremony on Sunday, took some time to chat with OnMilwaukee.com about how he almost wasn't Marquette's keynote speaker, the city he called home for 14 years, and whether or not Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig was hurt by what happened with Ryan Braun this past winter. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeetalkshankaaron.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeetalkshankaaron.html?30251 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks is slumping horribly the first two months of the season - but none of this is his own doing. The gremlins of baseball have burrowed deep into his soul and he can't buy a base hit for love or money. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelweeksslumps.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelweeksslumps.html?30241 Tue, 22 May 2012 05:30:00 CDT The Milwaukee Brewers and Brewers Enterprises today announced plans for a summer weekend road trip to St. Louis, August 2-5, to watch the Brewers and Cardinals at Busch Stadium. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerssummerweekend.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerssummerweekend.html?30254 Mon, 21 May 2012 20:00:00 CDT Bounties. Concussions. Lawsuits. Suicide. These are the NFL buzz words littering the off-season air of late, making headlines in areas the league wishes would vanish. Will the landscape of football suffer because of all the negative juice? Five high school head football coaches offered up their opinions on the latest matters in the sport. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/coachesspeak.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/coachesspeak.html?30226 Mon, 21 May 2012 13:02:00 CDT Following another disappointing loss on Friday, members of the Milwaukee Mustangs were left wondering what else they needed to do to start winning. Head coach Bob Landsee says the answer is in the mirror. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mustangsintangible.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mustangsintangible.html?30237 Mon, 21 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Bob Boozer, a member of the Bucks 1971 NBA Championship team, died of a brain aneurysm on the afternoon of May 19 while at an Omaha, Neb. hospital. He was 75 years old. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bobboozerdies.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bobboozerdies.html?30252 Mon, 21 May 2012 06:51:00 CDT The Arena Football League is designed to be high-scoring and highlight its quarterbacks, but the technical ability of league's signal callers has been surprising for this AFL newbie. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/aflqbplay.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/aflqbplay.html?30231 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:43:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersblockparty.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersblockparty.html?30230 Fri, 18 May 2012 20:00:00 CDT With his doctor's stamp of approval, Karl Schultz will get back to competition this summer, racing against himself and the clock in triathlons and marathons. It's a fortunate return, only possible because a year ago he beat the clock in his most important race, the one to save his brain. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/strokedetection.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/strokedetection.html?30223 Fri, 18 May 2012 13:05:00 CDT The Milwaukee Bucks once had a 7-footer roaming the paint and traded him away this spring. Now, the team looks to replace Andrew Bogut. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/buckssize.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/buckssize.html?30208 Fri, 18 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Win or lose - and of his more than 40 amateur fights, he lost only a handful - Fred Radmer was well known and popular for the all-out effort that was his trademark in the boxing ring. Now 61 and living in West Allis, Radmer is still an indomitable fighter, only since he hung up his boxing gloves more than three decades ago the competition has been even tougher. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/fredradmer.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/fredradmer.html?30204 Fri, 18 May 2012 05:28:00 CDT Tumbledown Trails professional Jim Schuman captured the Wisconsin PGA Match Play Championship at Whistling Straits. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/schumanmatchplay.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/schumanmatchplay.html?30218 Thu, 17 May 2012 19:45:00 CDT OnMilwaukee.com catches up with Milwaukee Mustangs head coach Bob Landsee, who before joining the Arena Football League was an All-American offensive lineman for the Wisconsin Badgers, played for the Philadelphia Eagles and coached at UW-Oshkosh. Landsee talks about his time in Madison, the National Football League and coaching in the AFL. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeetalksboblandsee.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeetalksboblandsee.html?30190 Thu, 17 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Mustangs defensive back Kelvin Rodgers and wide receiver Andrae Thurman earn Arena Football League weekly honors for their play last week. The team is also hosting Military Night on Friday. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mustangsweeklyhonors.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mustangsweeklyhonors.html?30209 Thu, 17 May 2012 10:20:00 CDT Believe it or not, there is something that sports fans can actually learn from "Dancing With the Stars." http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/davebegel/driverlesson.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/davebegel/driverlesson.html?30207 Wed, 16 May 2012 18:04:00 CDT While it is honorable to do their diligence in cleaning the game up, for MLB to unceremoniously dump the man that has carried their water for the last 13 years in matters of player discipline over one case is reprehensible. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/seligfiresdas.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/seligfiresdas.html?30198 Wed, 16 May 2012 15:00:00 CDT On Sunday, Milwaukee native and Major League Baseball Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig will introduce 2012 Marquette University Commencement speaker and baseball legend Hank Aaron. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/aaronmarquette.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/aaronmarquette.html?30205 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:11:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerscantcatchfire.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewerscantcatchfire.html?30196 Wed, 16 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Are you a good golfer? Think you know your game, and your way around the course. Here's a quick look at some of the best golf courses southeastern Wisconsin has to offer the better player, from the courses up in Kohler to Erin Hills to Milwaukee County. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelgolfcourses.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelgolfcourses.html?30179 Tue, 15 May 2012 05:30:00 CDT 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. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/findchorizo.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/findchorizo.html?30188 Tue, 15 May 2012 05:00:00 CDT Bernie Brewer was concerned when he noticed a missing sausage in yesterday's race at Miller Park, starting off a Twitter campaign asking #WheresChorizo? http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/whereschorizo.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/whereschorizo.html?30181 Mon, 14 May 2012 13:12:00 CDT The Milwaukee Mustangs fell to the Cleveland Gladiators 69-48 on Friday after being outscored 27-6 in the final 10 minutes of the game. The team, which had championship expectations at the start of the season, is looking for a spark as it heads into this week's game against Georgia. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mustangsslump.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mustangsslump.html?30177 Mon, 14 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Today, cyclists in Milwaukee will share a ride with the mayor in one of the highlights of the annual Bike to Work Week. In a year, they may be sharing bikes. The Milwaukee Business by Bike Group is leading an effort to create a bike share system in Milwaukee, tentatively designed to provide 240 bikes and 24 rental stations, and open in 2013. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bikeshare.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/bikeshare.html?30163 Mon, 14 May 2012 05:06:00 CDT Seven time zones away, Jeff Donovan is still living the diamond life. The former Wauwatosa East three-sport athlete, who went on to rack up eye-popping numbers at UW-Whitewater in two sports, has finally boiled down his competitive juices, focused strictly on baseball in a country where the sport barely blips on the radar. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/jeffdonovan.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/jeffdonovan.html?30157 Sat, 12 May 2012 09:04:00 CDT A few weeks ago, the Milwaukee Mustangs shook things up with a multi-player, multi-team trade that brought receiver Andrae Thurman to Milwaukee. The 6-foot former Green Bay Packer has paid immediate dividends. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/mustangsandraethurman.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/mustangsandraethurman.html?30172 Fri, 11 May 2012 20:23:00 CDT The average attendance at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1995 was 13,427. Let's remember this, Milwaukee, as without Miller Park we would have never lured new ownership, new players and eventually a return to greatness and huge crowds that cities much larger than us are envious of. Now, it's the Bucks turn. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/buildbucksarena.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/buildbucksarena.html?30169 Fri, 11 May 2012 13:02:00 CDT His story may have started in Chicago and his legend may have grown in other cities along the way, but one of the most important and formative times in Bill Veeck's life in baseball were his years as the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/veeckgreatestmaverick.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/veeckgreatestmaverick.html?30151 Fri, 11 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Andy Geiger, former athletic director for five NCAA Division I programs including Ohio State and Stanford University, has been named athletic director at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He begins immediately. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/uwmhiresgeiger.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/uwmhiresgeiger.html?30160 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:32:00 CDT Over the last five years, a Milwaukee man named Montaous Walton has created at least two different internet personas, inventing a story about an improbable rise out of the city into the world of Major League-affiliated baseball. One of these personas was exposed in 2010. The other managed to not only thrive, but convince legitimate sports agencies to invest in it. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/montaouswalton.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/montaouswalton.html?30100 Thu, 10 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Junior Seau is dead. And no matter how anyone tries to rationalize, deny, misdirect, caution, or convince you to the contrary, there is no mistake to be made. Football killed him. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/braininjuriesinnfl.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/braininjuriesinnfl.html?30144 Wed, 9 May 2012 15:00:00 CDT He was signed to bring a left-handed bat off the bench and provide some solid defense late in games, but Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Travis Ishikawa has found his role changing as injuries have plagued the team. The first-year Brewer talks to OnMilwaukee.com about the difficulties in moving to a new city and adjusting on the fly. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeetalkstravisishikawa.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/milwaukeetalkstravisishikawa.html?30128 Wed, 9 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT The Milwaukee Brewers might be better able to handle the flood of injuries the team has faced lately if the healthy regulars would just hit. The team is struggling, but none more so than the 1-2 spots in the batting order. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/brewerstopoforder.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jimowczarski/brewerstopoforder.html?30142 Tue, 8 May 2012 20:00:00 CDT The Milwaukee Brewers solidified their front office by extending the contract of General Manager Doug Melvin and promoting him to President of Baseball Operations and added some security for manager Ron Roenicke, extending him through 2014. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/melvinroenickeextended.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/melvinroenickeextended.html?30141 Tue, 8 May 2012 17:10:00 CDT Kyle Rechlicz has been named the new head coach for UWM Women's Basketball. She comes to the Milwaukee Panthers from the University of Wisconsin, where she served as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for Badger Women's Basketball for the 2011-2012 season. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/newbasketballcoach.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/newbasketballcoach.html?30137 Tue, 8 May 2012 12:10:00 CDT The Milwaukee Bucks traded for Monta Ellis with about 25 games left in the regular season, and the guard showed flashes of what he can do. But, he and point guard Brandon Jennings struggled together at times. The pair looks forward to meshing even more this offseason. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/jenningsellis.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/jenningsellis.html?30126 Tue, 8 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT In 2009, former Brewers pitcher Seth McClung was coming off a season in which he helped Milwaukee advance to its first post-season appearance in 26 years. In 2010, he was out of baseball, coaching girls' high school basketball in Florida. With a surgically repaired knee and eager for more more shot, this winter McClung e-mailed Brewers General Manager Doug Melvin, asking for a minor league contract with the team he m http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/sethmcclungnashville.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/sethmcclungnashville.html?30113 Tue, 8 May 2012 09:08:00 CDT It doesn't look good, but it's still too early in the season to call it a day on the Milwaukee Brewers. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelbrewershealth.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begelbrewershealth.html?30122 Tue, 8 May 2012 05:30:00 CDT The Milwaukee Brewers and the Milwaukee Braves Historical Association inducted Del Crandall and Hank Aaron into the Braves Honor Roll on Thursday. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewershonorbraves.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewershonorbraves.html?30130 Mon, 7 May 2012 22:03:00 CDT Nobody should panic, but the Brewers had better start playing some good baseball, because the rest of the division might not wait around for them to improve. However, I'm not sure the three season-ending (or almost season-ending injuries) are as big of a deal as paranoid fans - myself occasionally included - think they are. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andytarnoff/brewersnotsunk.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/andytarnoff/brewersnotsunk.html?30124 Mon, 7 May 2012 14:08:00 CDT The 2012 Major League Baseball season is less than 30 games old, yet there is concern about the defending National League Central Division champs. Starters are dropping like flies, making one wonder when it'll become too much. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersifhealthy.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewersifhealthy.html?30120 Mon, 7 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT The Milwaukee Mustangs made a big defensive stop at the buzzer to upset the Philadelphia Soul 64-63 in Philadelphia. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mustangsbeatsoul.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/mustangsbeatsoul.html?30118 Sat, 5 May 2012 21:56:00 CDT Fearing they've lost pace in a national running boom, organizers of the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon are proposing to add a half marathon to the event and create a paid position for the race director. Both ideas are expected to hit a wall of resistance within the Badgerland Striders. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/lakefrontmarathonchanges.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/lakefrontmarathonchanges.html?30114 Fri, 4 May 2012 16:27:00 CDT It's simply beautiful that the Commissioner of Baseball spends many of his lunch hours at his restaurant, Jake's Deli, 1634 W. North Ave. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/budseligjakes.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/budseligjakes.html?30106 Fri, 4 May 2012 11:02:00 CDT About an hour after the NFL Draft concluded last Saturday, the Green Bay Packers made a call that fulfilled a dream for Green Bay native Drew Vanderlin. But the defensive end out of Michigan Tech isn't satisfied with just a chance. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/drewvanderlin.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/drewvanderlin.html?30086 Fri, 4 May 2012 11:00:00 CDT Milwaukee Mustangs wide receiver/linebacker Marcus Everett has been selected as the National Guard MVP of the Week for Week 8 of the 2012 season http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/everettplayerofweek.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/everettplayerofweek.html?30103 Thu, 3 May 2012 15:40:00 CDT
