Something to read when finding all my grammar errors . Kyle is off for the next couple of days (Where is he? I'm not saying ) and I'm the first of numerous fill-ins. I'll be setting the bar fairly low. Who am I? I'm Dan Walsh from SportsBubbler and among other things for the site, I write The Daily Drink blog . I like to refer to myself as a lowly blogger working for a dying newspaper company. The...

Whether it's just a fad or a new mainstay in social media, Twitter is probably one of the more polarizing services on the Internet. For some, it's an everyday must-check. For others, it's a joke, and its consistent users something to ridicule. For the uninitiated, Twitter is a social networking service that allows you to send 140 character-or-less "tweets," and subscribe to and follow the...

The "Bring Back Seth McClung" contest continues! So, on Monday I drew a winner for the first round of the Bring Back Seth McClung contest. Congratuations to Jason Stromberger, who won an autographed ball from McClung. That ball will be in the mail later this week. Here's the thing, though: On Tuesday, I got a UPS package from McClung, and there's a bunch more stuff in it. On top of Jason's...

We here at BCB have been entertained and informed by Seth McClung’s Twitter account, but his sometimes blunt complaints and lack of faith in his return to Milwaukee next season make me wonder if he’s digging his own grave. Though most of his tweets have been the sort of mundane things you’d read about your friends, and his occasional glimpses into the clubhouse are cool – it’s...

A new reason to join the Bring Back Seth McClung Facebook group So, as mentioned last week, there's now a Facebook group devoted to convincing the Brewers to retain the services of Seth McClung. Over 100 people have already joined, and that's great, but if you've been holding out, we have a new reason for you to join. As I'm sure you know, McClung loves Milwaukee and hopes to return next season, and...

Seth McClung is a man of principle. Whether sending a message to a showboating Albert Pujols with a high 90s fastball to the spine or Web blasting his local cable television provider’s less-than-savoury customer service - “Big Red” isn’t afraid to let those who cross him know where he stands. Apparently lacks in service. Bright House Networks, a Time Warner subsidiary which...

Trevor Hoffman agreed to a deal to stay with the Milwaukee Brewers today, receiving a $2 million salary bump to $8 million. Doug Melvin credited Trevor Hoffman with being the Cal Ripken of pitchers, so it's no surprise an accord was reached so quickly. I've heard some criticism for the deal, given that it's $8 million less for Milwaukee to spend on its starting pitching. I disagree. Hoffman certainly...

Well, that's all she wrote. The 2009 season is over for the Brewers. Time to kick back and watch the other teams in the playoffs... unless, of course, Ghost Hunters is on. Follow the jumps for pictures and McAwesome! Carlos Villanueva got his only win of the season after starting Saturday. Fortunately (or unfortunately), sometime before Sunday's game, he shaved off the 'stache. Alcides Escobar tried...
