one week from today.

<a href="http://www.jsonline.com/sports/brewers/145024545.html">Manny Parra has looked good in spring training</a>, no word on Hart yet, and Cezar Izturis will be on the Opening Day roster.

Zelous Wheeler was placed on waivers and claimed by Baltimore.

Hate to break up your streak here...but I just can't get into spring training baseball. I start paying attention on opening day and then really get into it when summer hits.

4 days.

I don't think Roenicke has actually announced anyone besides Yo, but I guess we can assume the matchups for the Opening Series would be like this:

Friday: Yo vs. Jaime Garcia
Sat: Greinke vs. Adam Wainwright
Sun: Wolf vs. Lance Lynn (replacing Chris Carpenter)

Corey Hart will be <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/145789195.html">available for Opening Day</a>, which probably means Brooks Conrad grabs the final spot instead of Travis Ishikawa.

Also, Shaun Marcum is not expected to miss any starts.

Haudricourt tweeted something similar with the same conclusion drawn.

I'm excited for Clutch Conrad to be on the team. I enjoyed his stint with the Braves.


(Oh, and Jim Powell and Don Sutton gave him the nickname "Clutch" because of his nature of coming through in BIG pinch hit situations late in games for the Braves)

ESPN polled apparently every baseball analyst they have and got the following results:

Out of 48 pickers, 11 had the Brewers winning the Central, 6 had them winning the Wild Card, and 2 had them as NL champs (losing the WS to the Tigers/Rangers).

John Kruk and David Schoenfield being the 2 to pick the Brewers as NL Champs...

Pretty cool ginormous infographic about Opening Day

http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...-history-our-ultimate-opening-day-infographic

Interesting to note:

-Brewers have 10th highest Opening Day winning % (.534)
-Sixto Lezcano is tied for 2nd with 6 Opening Day RBI (in 1980) (1st is Corey freakin' Patterson with 7 in '03)
-Brewers are tied for 2nd with 15 Opening Day runs (1982 vs TOR; 1996 vs CAL)

I feel really good about this year's roster. Overall, we are deeper.

I believe we will be BETTER than last season. There, I said it.

Can't wait for tomorrow!


PS - Don't miss Prince either. We'll see if that changes as we get started tomorrow, but I've (we've) known that he was gonna be gone for a long time now and I guess I had prepared and distanced myself from him as a Brewer.

Also - excited for Gamel to get his shot. Hope A-Ram is solid. Always thought he'd look better in a Brewer uni.

T-minus 5 hours! :D

Working from home today. Gotta get to the store for a brat run.

Brewers-Cardinals today! Here's an article from the St. Louis side on the team's view of the rivalry this year. Won't be long now before we see how it plays out!

Hopefully Yo got the walks and hr's out of his system. Those 2 issues have been his nemisis over the years.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

oh dear. Not Zack's best outing. I guess after 3 wins, they were due for a clunker vs. the Cubs.

Although with the Cubs bullpen, this is not over. ;)

I must take responsibility. After silence through the first 3 games, I posted on Facebook today about getting out the broom along with a picture of Greinks.

My bad... :o
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

I have not been able to watch the Brewers yet, so I am looking forward to tonight.... although that means I have to DVR hockey. ;)

Matchups for this series:
Tonight: Jurrjens vs Wolf
Tomorrow: Minor vs Marcum
Sunday: Beachy vs Narveson

Headed to Miller Park a couple times next week with LA in town (TGFC!!). I tried to find info on new concessions this season, but all I could find was some sort of fried food bar without any details. Has anyone seen anything?
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

effing Braves

It's a little weird not to see the Big Fella at first.

Matchups for the LA series:
Tue: Billingsley vs Yo
Wed: Capuano vs Greinke
Thu: Harang vs Wolf

I was going on Tuesday and Thursday... but with Wednesday's matchup being Capuano and Greinke, I may need to go to that one too. Half price tickets for residents in the 5 county area.

Make sure you get your tickets early...
http://brewers.mlblogs.com/2012/04/...s-sold-on-earliest-date-in-franchise-history/

Fastest to two million tickets sold per season in franchise history. Beating Miller Park's opening in 2001 by three days.
