Doyle Proclaims 'Milwaukee Brewer Day' in Wisconsin
Doyle Also Makes Wager With Pennsylvania's Governor

MADISON, Wis. -- Gov. Jim Doyle announced that Wednesday will be "Milwaukee Brewers Day" in honor of the Brewers first trip to the postseason since 1982.
The Brewers face the Phillies in a best-of-five Major League Baseball National League Division Series.
"The Brewers performance, determination and teamwork epitomize the true meaning of sportsmanship and athleticism," said Doyle. "Today honors their tremendous achievement, which has made the state of Wisconsin, and fans nationwide, extremely proud."
According to a news release, Doyle and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell made a friendly wager on the match up between the Brewers and the Phillies. Doyle offered up an assortment of Miller products, Wisconsin-made Klement’s Sausages and Secret Stadium Sauce, in the event the Phillies win the five-game series. Rendell wagered a selection of Yuengling Brewery Products and world famous Philadelphia cheesesteaks.
"Although I usually enjoy real Wisconsin cheese on my sandwich, I look forward to celebrating the Brewers victory with a tasty Philadelphia cheesesteak," said Doyle. "From dramatic walk-off home runs to dominant pitching performances, this has been the most exciting Milwaukee Brewer season in a quarter century and I am looking forward to a memorable October in Wisconsin."
"Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have much in common, from the official state symbols that we share -- the white tailed deer and milk -- to our love of baseball," said Rendell. "However, I am confident that our Phillies will be triumphant and I look forward to enjoying my Wisconsin gift basket, if only to find out what Secret Stadium Sauce tastes like."
The Brewers finished the 2008 regular season with a 90-72 record, securing the National League wild card. Philadelphia finished 92-70, winning the National League East Division.
We have the Phillies right where we want them....we were in the same position in '82, and came back to win the series 3 games to 2.
First playoff win since I've been alive, wooo!
I'm really trying to enjoy anything, since it will probably be a long time before I can enjoy it again
Still alive, baby...go Brewers!!!
I think we just stole another starting pitcher from the Cardinals.
Looks like Eric Gagne is back this year, but only in a minor league deal.....I think he will make 1.5 million if he is called up before June or July, otherwise he can be released.
Do you have enough solid starting pitchers?
Probably up in the air. Gallardo is great if he's healthy, Parra started off decent last year before getting worn down. Suppan is alright, Bush is OK, and the fifth starter is probably up in the air. Maybe Villanueva? I truthfully haven't been following the MLB much this year, I'm tired of the league and mainly miss football.
