Brewers/NLDS Notes

-The Brewers announced their playoff roster today. No Ben Sheets, Gabe Kapler, or Russell Branyan. One surprise was the choice of Brad Nelson. Nelson made 8 plate appearances at the end of the regular season, getting 2 hits (both doubles) and drawing 1 walk. He played only 2 innings in the field (at 1B).

-Not too many people are predicting the Brewers beating the Phillies in this series. In fact, over at ESPN.com's series overview, not a single analyst predicts Milwaukee advancing.

-Tim Kurkjian looks at 5 questions surrounding the series.

-Want to know who will be umpiring the Brewers/Phillies series?

-Philly fans are daring to dream.
