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 his 2009 totals. His 17 long balls lead the National League by three over Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen, Mark Reynolds, and Dan Uggla. Hart's breakout season has not only resulted in runs, but has silenced his many critics. As recent as this offseason, fans and media alike were calling for his head and outraged when he won a $4.8 million salary in an arbitration case. Hart was not producing at all at the plate and was caught stealing six out of ...

The Milwaukee Brewers have been a young team throughout the decade. Young players such as Rickie Weeks, Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Yovani Gallardo, and Corey Hart have been the core of the team during the franchise turnaround. But with some of the key players getting older, Milwaukee will need a set of prospects to produce at the Big League level. The following are the top twenty-five prospects, according to www.milbprospects.blogspot.com. 1 Alcides Escobar , SS , MIL2 Brett Lawrie , 2B , MIL3 Kentrail Davis , OF , MIL4 Mat Gamel , 3B , MIL5 Evan Anundsen , P , MIL6 Jake Odorizzi , P , MIL7 Caleb Gindl , OF , MIL8 Eric Arnett , P , MIL9 Jose Pena , OF , MIL10 Mark Rogers , P , MIL11 Jon Lucroy , C , MIL12 Kyle Heckathorn , P , MIL13 Angel Salome , C , MIL14 Amaury Rivas , P ...

"Hating the New York Yankees is as American as apple pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax." —Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko Face it. If you aren't a Yankees fan, then there will always be a sense, some sort of cognizance of hate towards them. Whether you are an extremist, hoping at all costs that the Yanks lose, or simply not a fan of them, everybody has had the feeling that they are sick of the Yankees. For me, I have never hated  the Bombers. But, being a baseball fan, it's hard to root for them in spite of all their success. The Yankees and Boston Red Sox would make a good movie, "Neighbors Gone Bad." That because fans of one loathe, hate, abhor, and are appalled by their sworn enemy. In Beantown and the Big Apple, there is no fence-sitting—you either root for one, or don't care at all. We all ...

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 himself a spot in Sunday's game. "It's going to be tough not to put him in the lineup," said Brewers manager, Ken Macha. Gerut is possibly the most unlikely Milwaukee candidate to hit for the cycle. Macha wasn't even sure who to start coming into Saturday afternoon, saying he "flipped a coin" to determine whether to pencil in Gerut or Corey Hart. This was a rare joke from the skipper, who studies match-ups as much as any other manager. But the 32-year-old Gerut's ...
