I wonder how the Pirates are going to find a way to get Craig Wilson in the lineup this year. I just think he has too much talent to be riding pine for Pittsburgh. If I were Tracy, I'd be trying to get him back in the catcher's position.

12 Angry Men There's an old version and a new(er) version with Jack Lemon, James Gandolfini, Edward James Olmos, etc. Never saw the old one. The whole movie takes place in a jury room as the 12 men bicker over a case that we never saw. GREAT film. Boondock Saints Must see. Two Irish brothers get a message from God to kill all the scum in Boston (a la Magnum Force). Willem Dafoe is great, and there is more originality in one scene than most films have in two hours. Storytelling This one is OUT THERE. If you've seen the movie "Happiness", you know what I mean. It's my style of weird, but probably not most other peoples'. Crash Great film in the style of "Magnolia" and "Shortcuts". Some criticized it for being too coincidental or an overkill of racial talk. The former, you're going to just have to accept. As for the latter, I lived in L.A. It's not far off. A History of Violence Almost a complete waste of my time. I say "almost" because William Hurt's character was pretty good. Therefore, I only want $7.50 of my $8.50 back. The Life Aquatic Give me the Tennenbaums. THAT movie was great. I saw this one twice and it just didn't hit me. It was missing some REAL quality that Wes Andersen's movies normally possess. Ocean's 12 Worst movie I've seen this year. And I LIKED the first one (though not as much as the rat pack). This movie completely nullifies the first one. They have to pay Andy Garcia back?! What??!! The Machinist Great in the way that movies like "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream" were great. Christian Bale really went all out in dropping down to 112lbs.

Opening day this year vs. Perez. I'm looking for a repeat performance. Looking back at what happened opening day, do you think the Crew will start Cirillo tonight?

Overbay's last AB as a Brewer at MP?

Backwards K. Turnbow time (barring a big inning by the Crew)

Is this Glover trying to earn a roster spot next year? Showcase himself for another team? Act of God? Other? Whatever it is, I'm impressed.

I had a friend at the beginning of the year who said "1982 belongs to the Brewers, so I am going to predict 19 wins for Sheets and 82 wins for the Brewers." He may have been right, only with the wrong pitcher's name.

Maybe people have written about this, but does anyone know/think that if Cappy gets the W, the Crew will pitch him on 3 days rest to try and get 20? In my ideal situation, the Crew would get up 12-0 and they would pull Cappy after 5 IP and have him ready for Sunday.

Great article, but I can't comment on HOF. I already promised Pete Rose and Chili Davis that I wouldn't concentrate on others until they were both in. This could take a while.

My lineup Weeks Hardy Jenkins Lee Overbay Hart Miller Branyan Sheets 2TO-88 I don't get it. Everybody seems to be saying Miller is going to catch. Is Moeller hurt? Since when does Moeller not catch Sheets?

No matter what happens tonight, I'm holding on to my ticket stub. I also have the one from Zack Duke's first start. One never knows.

If the Brewers won 2 of 4 at St. Louis, I don't think 2 out of 3 at home is an unreasonable goal to have.

"Although we were already out of it, I did like squishing the Astros' post-season dreams at the end of the 2003 season. [ignore me if that didn't actually happen]" It happened, but it allowed the Cubs to get in the playoffs. Bad. However, that opened the door for Bartman.

I'm hearing Dream On in my head...my favorite Brew Crew post-victory song since I'm A Believer in the late 80s 1992.

Sheets is pitching. Good. Lidle is pitching. GREAT! As a fantasy owner who has had Lidle, this is good news.

Piazza was pulled for a defensive substitution.

Ueker made it sound like an amazing throw.

Pitch 5 - In play, run-scoring play Sweet

Walk in a run please... karma.

Great sacrifice.

Well, at least we got one. Down 1 run in this series with the top of the order next inning sounds OK to me.

Is Durrington going to be in the field? Yikes!

Don't mess with success. Jenkins has been hitting much better in the 5 hole.

I hate Bill's grill.

And I think that should be implied. No need to point it out all the time.
