Earlier this week, it was announced that the Milwaukee Brewers signed second baseman Rickie Weeks to a 4-year, $38M contract extension (that could go 5 years/$50M if he stays healthy).

Brewers 8 Mets 7 For a while, it appeared that the Mets would pull out another exciting, come-from-behind win. But it was not to be. The Brewers jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the third against starter Jonathon Niese, and the Mets clawed back with two in the bottom of the frame and then … Read more
Mets 5 Brewers 4 Sorry for the late post … there will be no recap. My computer crashed during the top of the 8th and since I was watching the game on MLB.com, I missed the most interesting part of the game. But from what I understand, it was quite a comeback. Feel free to … Read more

The Brewers and Mets swapped leads early in the contest, until the Mets pulled ahead 4-2 in the sixth, then extended it to 6-2 in the seventh against Jeff Suppan, then trounced Zach Braddock for another four runs in … Read more
