Just kidding. Carmelo Anthony is added to the Olympic team. It's just another week in the NBA, where standards drop daily. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe062508.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/czabe062508.html?15696 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:15:00 CST Questionable calls are a big part of sports, from Little League and youth soccer to the World Series and Olympic skating.

That's OK, though, when you consider the expense of dressing an entire team. We look at the hidden cost of baseball's bare necessities. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewequip.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/brewequip.html?15638 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 05:42:00 CST Firing someone is never easy.

Hardy (pictured), but good looks can help lift the "Q rating," which can lead to lucrative endorsement deals and fervent fan clubs. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begel061008.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/begel061008.html?15504 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:22:00 CST Brewers 2B Rickie Weeks was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/weekstodl.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/weekstodl.html?15521 Mon, 9 Jun 2008 16:14:00 CST Former Bucks head coach Terry Porter was named head coach by the Phoenix Suns. http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/porterhiredinphoenix.html http://onmilwaukee.com/sports/articles/porterhiredinphoenix.html?15507 Mon, 9 Jun 2008 06:58:00 CST Ned Yost has insisted all season long that his bullpen's biggest strength is its flexibility.
