How long you been living in Italy? kalle8 IS actually Italian. Not an expat. Awesome my wife's family all lives in Italy and we try to go every other year to visit.
Seems kind of crazy that it has been 14 years since they have come to Milwaukee. How does MLB determine the interleague schedule? I feel like the Brewers have come to Boston a few times. Baltimore is coming back to Milwaukee but can't remember the last time they played in Baltimore. What other cities have they not been to in a while or teams not been to Miller Park?
Lots of good points being made. We are only at May 3rd so lots of baseball left to be played. For the Brewers to be a game out and the divison all within 2 games it will keep things interesting the next few months if no one has pulled away or fallen too far out. If Milwaukee can be 3-5 games back a month from now that will go a long way in keeping the casual fan interested. I still think the Cubs win the division by about 10 games. I think the Cardinals will finish second but after that I think it's up in the air. As for the rest of the NL the Nats look pretty solid, but the rest of the East is pretty average with the Mets being pretty disappointing. The West is up for grabs as SF looks pretty bad. Do the Brewers have enough SP and bull pen help to compete for a WC spot I'm not sure but it will be fun to watch.
Living 20 minutes outside Baltimore I hear lots of Orioles news. Today they were talking about Trey Mancini and how they really don't have aspirations for him with Davis and now resigning Trumbo and how he could be trade bait. Could he be an option on our team maybe the future 1B?
Listening to a Baltimore station the other day one of their baseball guys was mentioning pretty much the same thing. The feeling is that his days of being a full time catcher are likely over. Best option for him would be a place where he can DH and part time catcher and maybe fill in at 1B a few times a year.
