See, Some Teams Suck More...

The great thing about this article is that it affirms that yes, there truly are teams who historically suck harder than the Brewers.

Go Rockies!!

Just in case the fact that they are playing the utterly despicable Red Sox (blech!!) was not enough of a reason for you, here is a another good reason to cheer for the Rockies. It is nice to see an organization that values a person's character, and that judges that character based on a true and solid foundation.

I also give kudos to the NY Times. In this article, they give the Rockies a fair shake. All to often, the MSM tries to spin these sort of articles to make it appear as if any organization espousing Christian principles is somehow attempting to ram religion down people's throats, when the reality is, more often then not, quite the opposite.

It is May, and the Brewers are at the Top

It is May 2nd, and with last nights victory over the despised Cardinals (if you wonder why the Cardinals are despised in these here parts, think 1982 World Series), the Brewers now have the best record in the major leagues. Enjoy it while it last, folks...

While we are on the subject of the Cardinals, while it is true that we hate your team almost as much as we hate the Cubs, we are also saddened by your loss, and pray for your healing.

Now, with that out of the way, let's sweep these stupid red birds out of town, boys!!

Opening Day: Brewers 7, Dodgers 1

The Brewers had a great opening day game. The "free" game for our ticket package was opening day, so Lisa and I were there to see it. I won't recap the game itself. You can read that online elsewhere if you are interested.

Our day started around 10:30 in about a 20 minute line on Bluemound Road, trying to get into the parking lot. Once we were parked, Lisa and I headed into the ball park and went to Friday's Front Row Grill. Since most people were out tailgating, we were able to get good seats out on the patio section which is basically built into the left field wall. The Brewers had BP while we were eating. Geoff Jenkins, Matt Wise, and a couple of others were shagging fly balls out there and we managed to get a practice ball from one of them.

After lunch, we headed over to our seats. This year, we are in the first section of the field level outfield (section 109). Very nice seats, but you really have to pay attention to foul balls down there (which can be a problem for me if I am busy fixing my score card when the next guy comes up).

All in all, it was a very pleasant day, topped off by a strong performance by the whole team, especially Sheets. Hopefully the rest of the games in our package will be equally as enjoyable, and not frustrating like last year.
