Milwaukee Brewers

Ben Sheets apparently didn't get the memo last month that designated him CC Sabathia's tag-team partner in what was supposed to be an almost unbeatable starting tandem for the Milwaukee Brewers. Sabathia certainly has kept up his end of the bargain, but not Sheets. Sheets lost for the fifth time Tuesday night in his eight starts since that day in early July when the Brewers acquired Sabathia, who has won all eight of his decisions in his nine starts for the Brewers. This time Sheets (11-7) was near-perfect over six innings but made two sins that allowed the Houston Astros all of their runs ... Read Full Story

By Sports Network Jeff Suppan was able to keep the Cubs in check during the season's opening week, but he hasn't posted a win since. The Milwaukee right- hander will seek a second victory over Chicago tonight, when the Brewers play the middle portion of a three-game set with the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Tonight, New York begins a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Shea Stadium with a hurler on the mound making his first start in over three years. Because of injuries to Pedro Martinez (hamstring) and Orlando Hernandez (foot), Nelson Figueroa will draw the start for the Mets tonight, his first since he was a member of the Pirates on September 23, 2004. He hasn't won as a starter since beating the Brewers on August 15, 2003. The right-handed Figueroa has made two relief outings this ... Read Full Story

By MIKE FITZPATRICK NEW YORK (AP) — Nelson Figueroa earned his first major league win in five years, retiring 14 straight batters at the start and pitching his hometown New York Mets past the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on a foggy Friday night. Carlos Delgado hit one of New York's three RBI singles and the Mets got a strong effort from their much-maligned bullpen to win their third consecutive game. Prince Fielder and J.J. Hardy each had an RBI double for the Brewers, who dropped their third straight after opening the season 6-1. Johan Santana makes his home debut Saturday for the Mets in a ... Read Full Story

I’m writing a novel in which one of the characters comes from a middle class home outside of Milwaukee. Not upper-class, or upper-middle class, but straight middle-class.
