He’s Baaaaack!!!
This guy comes back more often than Jason! A mid-season game between two regional rivals suddenly takes on national interest of epic proportions.

Missed Connections (55-56)
From Prince Fielder and Guillermo Mota's bizarre non-meeting to over-the-top calls for firing reporters, lately there's been an awful lot of missed connections involving the Brewers.

County Stadium
Memories of County Stadium: Paul Molitor seat cushions, the Don Mattingly Official Toilet and Cecil Fielder's out-of-the-park home run.

Restless Trade Syndrome (47-45)
There's more trading-deadline hysteria as the Brewers finally make a move. Plus, Prince Fielder shows his true colors and Frank Catalanotto's battle for the rights to an ironically bad 80's song.

Respect Your Elder
Writers and sports radio hosts spend so much time speculating on who the Brewers should trade for, who should be benched and who isn't performing right. Yet when their opinions are confirmed in a moment of extreme candor it's such a shock to their sensibilities that it suddenly becomes more than a statement of truth -- it becomes a flagrant act of disrespecting your elders. The media-created outcry over the comments even prompted your boss, Doug Melvin, into the fray, which only fueled the fire. Yet, surprisingly, his comments, which actually could be taken as disrespectful and patronizing (“I’ll be glad to have Ryan help if he wants to. I’ll give him a badge and he can be my deputy.") were accepted without sparking another round of the bogus flamewar.

Bummerfest! (40-35)
The slightly greasy aroma of fried foods; the muffled rumble of motorcycles and fireworks echoing in the night; the same interchangeable headliners year after year. Do you know what all this means? It's Summerfest, Ken -- can you feel the excitement? You may not realize it, Ken, but the musical acts at Summerfest have a lot in common with your players. Let's examine a few of those happy and not-so-happy similarities...
