    woo-hoo... My Khalid signed rookie card isn't just a peice of cardboard yet!

    Daron all but announced that Cirillo would get the start at 3B tomorrow. I would be very surprised to see Wes in the lineup. I imagine that Jeff will get a rather sizable ovation from the buckethead crowd tomorrow as well, although it would be interesting to see how they treat Branyan. In my opinion, the production we've gotten from the 3B position is by far the most pleasant surprise of the first week.

    what a game thread! go brewerfan.net!

    Seeing Branyan's name in the line-up is a bit of a surprise, given Helms' success off Wood in the past. I guess it proves that Yost is going with a straight lefty-righty platoon (or how far Helms has fallen) edit: I love when lineups come out this early...I was able to run to my fantasy team and insert Branyan in the line-up for Pedro Feliz. Don't fail me now, Russ!

    Nice little Fab-4 of pitching going tonight, too. Wow, is it nice to have pitching depth. I would say three of those four (Hendrickson, Sarfate and Pena) are legit middle-of-the-rotation prospects. Here's hoping Little Ben has ironed out his mechanical issues, and makes his stay in the land of the Grand Ole' Opry a short one.

    I'm assuming Barnwell is referring cheifly to Fielder and Weeks, who are known to not have a lot of interaction with anybody, much less a bunch of Alabaman baseball fans they don't know. The core of the team this year is probably more outgoing, as is their new manager. I've never met Frank Kremblas, but it's hard to imagine anyone being more approachable and outgoing than Don Money.

    Here I thought Pittsburgh was just finding yet another way to screw the Brewers, this time a game getting over at 2 a.m. on getaway day.

    Boo daylight savings time! Boo! Thanks square...I'm not living in a time warp anymore.
  9. Ralph Wiggum
    Well, I don't want to make any outlandish predictions. Also, I promise not to rub anyone's nose in it if I'm right. I'll just pat myself on the back a couple times, crack a much-deserved Miller, and move on.

    Bump......it's still pretty annoying 4 days later. What gives EZ-board?
  11. Ralph Wiggum
    Better yet, what is everybody's pick for the first pitcher to get a hit this year? I'm going to go with Capuano on Friday.
  12. Ralph Wiggum
    Is it just me, or isn't EZ-board updating for daylight savings? I just made a post, and it says it was posted at 10:24 (it's currently 11:24). I know this isn't a huge problem, and I'm pretty sure it's happened here before. It's just kind of annoying.

    Chad Paronto willl likely be at Huntsville or maybe Nashville. He's a career minor league reliever, but does have a good arm. He isn't in the mix whatsoever to make the team out of spring training.
  14. Ralph Wiggum
    Amen Hardy, it's spring training! I think some people read too much into what happens in these games. The enthusiasm is good, but it can go overboard.
  15. Ralph Wiggum
    I was thinking more along the lines of "trade showcase", although I don't want to see DLR given up on this quickly. I know Ned doesn't like to put lefties next to each other in the rotation, so could we possibly see a rotation of: 1. Davis 2. Sheets 3. Capuano 4. Glover 5. de la Rosa Davis is #1 in name only...everyone knows Sheets is the ace. This rotation would theoretically work, except DLR and Davis pitching back-to-back occasionally.
  16. Ralph Wiggum
    I hope you aren't serious. If you base your hatred of the team on one play in a meaningless spring training game, then you need to adjust your priorities a little. There are much better reasons to hate the Cubs: 1. Dusty Baker 2. A huge payroll 3. Their fans (as stated above) 4. That stupid "Wrigley North" crap. 5. Crying about being cursed. 6. Hating poor Steve Bartman, who was just doing what ANY other fan would have done in the same situation.
  17. Ralph Wiggum
    Well, I do believe you can start counting the days until that phrase will be a distant memory in the Brewerfan world, along with classics like "Trent Durrington is useless" and "Chris Magruder deserves a spot."
  18. Ralph Wiggum
    These WGN announcers are morons. I'm gonna guess it was Steve Moss. Helms hit the double.
  19. Ralph Wiggum
    I believe the Brewer's Manny Ramirez was cut during or soon after the season.
  20. Ralph Wiggum
    I doubt they lay out the rotation with 2 lefties next to each other in the top 3. At the beginning of spring training, I thought the rotation was basically a lock R-L-R-L-R combo with Sheets, Davis, Santos, Capuano and Hendrickson, but just looking at small-sample results from this spring, it looks like it might shape out something like Sheets, Davis, Obermueller, Capuano, De la Rosa/Glover. Personally, I think Santos is a lock to make the team no matter how bad he pitches. Doug really seems like over-value veteran pitchers (hence the mention of Rick Helling yesterday), so I don't see Santos getting cut. He's probably trade bait, but Doug would require something substantial in return.

    If I were you, I'd check my credit card statement. Online subscription services have a habit of automatically renewing your subscription when it runs out. It probably charged your credit card the first time you went to log in this season.
  22. Ralph Wiggum
    Cool beans! Hopefully it works at 2 p.m. I have to say, though...the Brewers website could have done a much better job of promoting the "freeness" of the webcast.
  23. Ralph Wiggum
    Where did you see that, because I can't find that information anywhere?
  24. Ralph Wiggum
    It does appear, as of right now, that to listen to the game, you need to purchase the audio package from MLB. That doesn't make me very happy. We have a local sports station up here that broadcasts all the Brewer games, so I wasn't planning on buying the service this year, but it appears that these games called by Sutton will ONLY be webcasts, so if you want to listen to the game, you have to buy the service. It says that spring training games are free with the subscription, when in the past, you could listen to the spring games without buying the subscription. That pretty much sucks.

    I'm still trying to figure out why Durrington got more PT than Matt Erikson last year at both Milwaukee and Indy? What can Trent do that Matt can't, besides speak in that Aussie accent that makes the ladies swoon? I suppose that Trent can play the OF and serve as the emergency catcher, but who cares? I guess I'm on the Matt Erikson bandwagon now.
