Good post Brewer Fever! I agree with most everything you said - especially about Macha and Braun. I am so excited to have a smart, competent manager with a great coaching staff around him that he will hopefully listen to. The guy has never had a losing season. And unfortunately I think the intercostal strain is going to pop up several times during the season on Braun. However, I don't think they will start quite as slowly as you do. I think their starting rotation is underrated and that Bush, Suppan, and Looper provide the consistency, inning-eating, and veteran leadership that will help Yo and especially Manny pitch to the level they are capable of. The bullpen is my main concern. I am worried about the injury Hoffman has at the age he is at. AND about Riske. Just doesn't look like he has the stuff to get hitters out. Prediction for season record: 92-70 and a postseason berth GO BREW CREW!!! EDIT: I admire your willingness to stay true to your word on the Weeks jersey, but he is more than content with the fact that they made the playoffs. Hang onto that baby - he's going to have a good year! I believe the person you speak of has posted once since his reinstatement
