Can the Milwaukee Brewers win in October without hitting many home runs?

Can the Milwaukee Brewers win in October without hitting many home runs?

The Brewers don’t hit many home runs. They still own baseball’s second-highest scoring offense. Can that formula carry them to a World Series?

Fun story about 2 sets of UW-Madison triplets, tho the college dad in me couldn't help but estimate the cost. Let's see: 6 out-of-state students times UW's estimated $65K annual cost of attendance comes out to $390/yr. Maybe they deserve a volume discount? madison.com/news/local/educa…

I found my old Bob Uecker autograph from the 1970s, and the Brewers win 22-0. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

On the same day Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway announced her reelection bid, I spotted this unconvincing yard sign today at an East Side garage sale. Dyke was mayor from 1969-73. If this was Dyke's slogan in 73, no wonder a young guy named Paul Soglin beat him. #wipolitics
