Boston sweeps Yankees 4 in a row.  Life can be incredibly unpredictable.

And if that happened, hoooo would be next? They tried CC, Trebelhorn, Sveum, Jim Lefebvre who were all on the Brewers' payroll & all at least briefly managed here.

Kenny Macha? He seems a little Madden-ish.

Rickie Weeks obviously

..........helped by a HR on Saturday by Anthony Seigler, of all people (as @markedman5 mentioned). For now at least, they're feeling a little bit better about dealing with Milwaukee.

This one beats the suitcase injury, or the dreaded Salad Knife injury that Molitor had.  Crazy stuff.

Or the feared Salad Tongs.

It was really 15-3 before the position players came in. Dansby Swanson is on some kind of heater right now.

This is my favorite thing. Can you imagine if Sanchez did this in the 1st inning? The IGT would implode.

Not sad to see him go, but wish it wasn't due to getting hurt.

Forgive me if this was posted elsewhere, but with the Holiday weekend madness I wasn't as on top of the news cycle and missed this myself...

The Cubs seem obsessed with getting any Brewers castoffs.  As if some magic pixie dust will still stick to them.

None of them had to worry about being labeled 'worst umpire in MLB' as long as Angel Hernandez was around. Now that he isn't..........time to pull the plug.
