If you are looking for Corey Hart's name on the 2010 All-Star ballot, have fun trying, because you won't find it.
That's right, because the Milwaukee outfielder with 17 home runs, 41 RBI, and a .610 slugging pct. was not in the Opening Day starting lineup, he is not on the fan ballot for the All-Star game.
In just 53 games, Hart already has five more home runs and seven fewer RBI than ...

Posted: 11th May 2010 by Curt Hogg in NBA
The Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic both tore right through their Conference semifinal opponents as if they were paper banners held up by cheerleaders.
Both teams won their respective series in more than a convincing matter, winning all four games en route to a sweep. Among the two teams, the closest margin of victory in their eight games was a six point Game Four victory for Phoenix—though the game was not ...

Posted: 9th May 2010 by Curt Hogg in MLB
Coming into Saturday night's contest between Milwaukee and Arizona, outfielder Jody Gerut had only four hits on the year.
Gerut matched his season with four hits in the Brewers' 17-3 rout of Arizona.
And they weren't just any four hits.
With a single, double, triple, and home run, Gerut became just the sixth player in Brewers history to hit for the cycle.
The outfielder, who had made only four starts all season, definitely earned ...
Boom! A sudden bolt of lightning struck the Quicken Loans Arena last Tuesday, as the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Chicago Bulls in the Quarterfinals of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. The crowd however, was not shocked by this sudden, abrupt occurrence, because the immediate energy came in the form of the eccentric-haired center Anderson Varejao. The same thing occurred miles away and a mile higher in Denver as Chris (Birdman) Andersen ...

Posted: 3rd April 2010 by Curt Hogg in MLB
As Milwaukee Brewers manager Ken Macha fills out a lineup card that he hopes will remain consistent for six months this spring, summer, and fall, the task proves to be rather simple—not painstaking work. But upon second glance, one would realize that the two hole has been left empty by the Brewers' skipper. And the two names missing are Alcides Escobar and Carlos Gomez.

The neon baseball-themed clock at Miller Park reads 2:30 on a warm July day in Milwaukee. At this time, most of the players are either reporting to the stadium or in the clubhouse or batting cages, taking a few swings.
But the oldest of them all is out on the field, shirt off, and iPod on full blast, undergoing intense abdominal and strength workouts that most of us could not do ...
Kevin Durant will score on you, and nothing you can do will be able to stop it. He might dribble right past you for a lay-up, drive in for a dunk, pull up for a tray, catch and shoot for a three, or hit a sweet step-back jumper in your face. Durant is classified as a scorer, and does so withá a dominance of a prowling lion, running down his ...
Jack makes the pre-snap read. Outside æbackers are blitzing. He signals for a hard count. Hut one. He calls for slide protection and motions for the tight end to pick up the blitz in the backfield. Hut two. Defense still hasnÆt jumped. Hut three . Jack checks his first option. Covered.
One Mississippi.
Jack looks hard at the quick slant, but the MIKE drops back into coverage.
