Written by Lou Olsen | September 30, 2011 | | Reviewing the Brew (Brewers)
First, lets start with real news. The Brewers set their playoff roster earlier this afternoon. There are no real surprises, Roenicke chose rookie Taylor Green over veteran Josh Wilson off the bench and took Marco Estrada over Tim Dillard. If you ask me, these were no brainers. Josh Wilson hadn’t hat a hit since August and Tim Dillard is nothing special. Taylor Green provides the team with a little pop off the bench and a nice defensive option. Marco Estrada earned his spot on this roster months ago, when he came out of no where in Spring Training to make [...]

The second set against Arkansas started off with Arkansas dominating, but errors made by the Razorbacks allowed the Wildcats to come roaring back to tie the game at 13 all. Pavan was playing some great defense and she’s another major reason Kentucky was able to make a mid-game comeback. The lead didn’t last long as Arkansas made some quick scores. Great plays by Frazier help the Wildcat tie the game at 16 all before the Wildcats were facing a three point deficit. A great play by Arkansas’ Stipanovich widened the Razorback lead to four points. A great kill by Pavan [...]

For the St. Louis Cardinals to put together an improbable September run and come away as the National League Wild Card champs, several things needed to fall into place. This is the case with almost any historic race to the postseason, but when you really step back and take a look at what the Cardinals accomplished just to earn the right to play in October, you realize that you have been witnessing something extremely special over the last month or so. So with this in mind, I feel obligated to show my appreciation on behalf of all St. Louis fans. [...]

Now that the season is over for the Twins, it’s time to do what baseball fans do best: complain about why the season went wrong and blame everyone we can. I got started down that path earlier this week, when I posted an article complaining about the epidemic of injuries and another one that points the finger at Bill Smith. A few weeks ago, I wrote about the sneakiest culprit of all: those cursed pine trees. But plenty of other things went wrong for the Twins this year, and for the sake of completeness, I’d like to list as many as I can. [...]

Coach Joker Phillips told his players this week he wants them to just relax and play ball against LSU. If they follow that advice, Kentucky can win the game. The talent is there. While LSU brings a lot of talent as well, it’s nothing that Kentucky’s players can’t handle. However, there’s some mental hurdles Kentucky must jump. They must forget about everything else but playing football – media reports, stats, even skeptical fans. If you look at all the numbers and statistics, it seems all but hopeless. Kentucky has only won three times against a #1 ranked opponent. In Kentucky’s [...]

So here we are again teetering on starting slow, playing down to our opponents level and barely winning the game. Anyone else sick of this rollercoaster ride? I love a good football game, but why does my heart come so close to stopping every week!! Lets get it together San Diego!! Norv has never started the season with a record better then 2-3, he aims to try and fix that this week as The Fins come into town. After almost blowing it, playing one of the worst teams in the NFL, we see ourselves walking into another game against yet [...]

Ladies and gentlemen of the D’Backs nation, on Saturday you do battle with a worthy foe. A team that is fueled by mythical non-sense known as “Beast Mode” (possibly an energy drink, we are still checking on that). My name is Lou Olsen and I am the Head Writer of Reviewing the Brew, a FanSided Brewers joint. My specialties are John Axford Mustache Facts, making fun of Mark Kotsay, and well to be honest, more mustache chatter. I have watched and/or listened to 159 Brewers games this season and I am here to prepare you for battle. Once you [...]

Wednesday night, despite a strong performance by not-quite-a-Red-Sox Bruce Chen, the Royals lost their 91st game of 2011, ending the season with a 71-91 record, their 13th worst record in team history. And yet, I’ve had more fun following this year’s group of players than, perhaps, any other (with 1989 and 2003 in the discussion). Maybe I’m a sucker. Maybe I’m just hopeful, but I felt like tides were shifting in the second half of the year and the developments of this season could carry into next year and beyond. As usual, the Royals played well in September (and I [...]

1. Going into this game the Texans and the Steelers are 2-1. What gives the Steelers the edge in this game? As long as Ben Roethlisberger can stay mobile and not make mistakes of holding onto the ball to long or forcing a pass, the Steelers always have a chance to pull out a win, even when the two other phases of the game are struggling. 2. What is going on with the Steelers offensive line? It’s the same thing that’s always been going on – they are not that great. Aside from Pouncey, the rest of the line is [...]

Jets' Logos: New-School and Old-School from ckdp.ca FanSided’s Around the NHL in 30 Days concludes today in Winnipeg at the Hockey At The Forks blog. Even as I am writing this, it seems surreal that the Winnipeg Jets are back in the NHL. Being a Canadian I remember all of the sadness surrounding the Jets’ departure from Winnipeg in 1996. The move to Phoenix certainly wasn’t due to a lack of fan support, but rather an economic issue. In honor of all the great fan support in Winnipeg I have to share this clip from MikosWpg of YouTube. The clip [...]

It's the first time in more than 10 years that Tampa will be facing the Colts with someone other than No. 18 under center TAMPA — When was the last time anything special on a national scale happened in Tampa that involved something Tampa? Not even the Bucs 2002 Super Bowl win was in Tampa, it was on the other side of the country in San Diego. Check this for a peek at reality: the last time anything on a truly national scale involving Tampa teams was in 2008. In October, the Tampa Bay Rays played games one and two of the [...]

(si.com) A week after the biggest game of the season comes the biggest game of the season. The win over Miami helped to crystallize the picture of who K-State is going to be this year as Bill Snyder continues his second go at it. Had the Wildcats left Coral Gables with a loss, tomorrow wouldn’t be quite as big a deal as it is being 3-0. Having Baylor come into Manhattan to open conference play also now becomes yet another test of this team to see how they are going to be able to handle the style of play that [...]
