Milwaukee Sports Headlines

It’s hard enough to compete in one triathlon, but two in one weekend? What was Karen McKeachie thinking?

Fifteen years after he first contended for a major, Madison’s Steve Stricker has another chance in semi-retirement. This will require quite a bit more work.

When Ryan Braun overturned a positive drug test from October 2011 on what commonly was perceived as a technicality, Major League Baseball officials were not alone in being upset.

The Lakeshore Chinooks needed a win or a loss by the La Crosse Loggers to clinch a playoff spot Saturday, but the Chinooks lost to Madison and didn’t get help from La Crosse.

Brad Keselowski passed Joey Logano for the lead with 16 laps to go, then held off Sam Hornish Jr. to win the Nationwide Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen, N.Y., on Saturday in a dominant performance for Penske Racing.

Inspiration came in many forms on a sun-splashed morning, with nearly 2,700 triathletes competing for 28 age-group titles in the Olympic-Distance Championships, which consisted of a 1,500-meter swim, 40-kilometer bike and 10-kilometer run course.

Former NFL general manager Bill Polian dismissed the notion that the Packers are soft, which some NFL observers suggested last season.

The Lakeshore Chinooks scored 14 runs in the first two innings to pound the Rochester Honkers, 16-3.

It was with great sadness that everyone associated with the Milwaukee Braves and Brewers learned Friday night that Logan passed away at Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He was 86.
