Fun Times in MadTown

Just got back from MadTown. I had a blast sitting around the fire with the guys on Saturday and at a birthday party with friends on Sunday. Good times...good times.

A Great Start to Miller Park Season!

The Brewers win 7-5! Not a bad way to start my 2010 season at Miller Park. Not. Bad. At. All.

2010 Milwaukee Brewers Predictions, Promises and Possibilities

Prediction:
I predict the Brewers will finish the season at 88-74. With that record, the Brewers will win the wild card and host at least one play-off game.

I would settle for any record that gets the Brewers to the play-offs and would be ecstatic with a record good enough to win the division. Then again, with the Cardinals pitching and hitting, I don't think the Brewers will overtake them. Just not enough pitching for the Brew Crew.



Possibilities:

• If Pujols gets hurt, Prince could win the MVP.
• Then again, Prince might not be a Brewer by the end of the year.
• Randy Wolf will disappoint, but not on the Jeff Suppan level. He'll be good, just not ace material.
• Yovani Gallardo, on the other hand, will be an ace and prove it each start.
• If Yo stays healthy, he will be top 3 in the Cy Young voting.
• Alcides Escobar will finish in the top 3 in NL Rookie of the Year voting. He should win it, but won't have the sexy stats like that beast in Atlanta will.
• Jeff Suppan will not end the season on the Brewers active roster. Doug Melvin will either cut his ass or stash Soup on the DL.

Promises:

• The Cubs will still suck.
• The Brewers will finish with a winning record against the Cubs.
• Prince will finish in the top 5 in MVP voting.
• Craig Counsell will once again prove he's the best bench player in the league. Yes. The League.
• Corey Hart will end the 2010 season on a different team.
• The Brewers will have at least 3 All-Stars. Prince and Braunie are locks. Maybe Hoffman or Yo.
• The Brewers will somehow piss off some team. It might be a team celebration. It might be Braunie's attitude. Either way, the bean balls will be a flying.
• Matt's going to miss yelling "J, J, J, J" at the games.
• The Brewers will finish above .500 and be in contention for a play-off spot all year.

I hope to get to at least 2 games a month. I do want to get some club seats this year and maybe a Friday's table. Actually, I don't REALLY care where I sit as long as the Brewers win!



I'm sure many people will disagree with my prognostications, but who gives a fuck. If Yo or Prince or Braunie goes down with an injury, the Brewers season is over. If everything goes according to plan, more baseball awaits Brewer fans in October.



GO BREW CREW GO!
