412-928-9370.

Are you starting to waver a little bit on the Penguins here?

How concerned are you with the goaltending?

86 wins.

Jim Bowden ranked the lineups.

The Cubs are the faraway favorite to win the division, right?

He says the Brewers won the most games during the regular season last year and have one of the best minor league systems in the sport, led by top prospect Jesus Made.

Is that his name?

Their lineup is the most athletic in the game and includes six hitters coming off double-digit stolen base seasons and six coming off double-digit home run seasons.

Chorio's ready to be a star.

Why are we discounting the Brewers?
