Fox Sports Atlantic is showing Virginia Tech and Florida State right now. Barrett Browning is pitching for FSU. Just FYI if anybody's around and didn't notice. EDIT: This is actually last Friday's game, but it's new to me. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif ~Bill

Sweet picture from BA's home page: http://ftp.baseballamerica.com/images2005/agordon450300.jpg I really wish we could trade up and draft him. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif ~Bill

It is incredibly disturbing that Craig Counsell and Royce Clayton form the double-play combo and hit 1st and 2nd for the Diamondbacks. I guess it's unfortunate they couldn't acquire EY and Lenny Harris, too, or they'd have the complete set. Daron Sutton has a mancrush on every catcher in baseball. If Craig Counsell was a catcher, he'd have to file a restraining order... I don't think Daron can come within 100 yards of Jason Kendall or Paul LoDuca, actually. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif ~Bill

Some of the shirts Patrick made are awesome... definitely check them out if you're interested in some sweet Brewerfan.net swag. EDIT: I said some, but I really meant all... just sounded better with "some" than "all". So buy a couple or five. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif ~Bill

Maybe a link that gives access to the newspapers of N.L. teams so we can easily find what -they- say about playing the Crew.?? I started doing this last year as part of the DB series previews. I hope to be more diligent about it in 2005... I also include links to other teams' quality blogs and discussion boards. ~Bill

Hopefully Andy Pratt is pitching bad enough to deter other teams from claiming him off waivers. He's got a great arm so it would be wonderful to be able to send him to the minors and hopefully help him put things back together. I can't imagine a team would want to keep him on their 25-man roster at this point... I hope I'm right. ~Bill

Is this game at Coors Field? ~Bill

I personally am not a big fan of Helms either, but if he continues what he has done today (2 HRs, 5 RBI), why not give him the start on opening day. I agree. If Wes Helms hits two homers and drives in five runs every game, he should be our starting third-baseman. ~Bill
