Right now your cause for optimism is rooted in the front office, and in the minors. Not on the playing field. The Brewers still have a lot of holes in the major league lineup. However, and this is just my opinion, but your GM and your new owner seem to be heading in a new direction and finally doing more of the right things. Sometimes little things, like changing the way they handle minor league pitchers so they don't blow their arms out. Sometimes bigger, more obvious things like bringing in Carlos Lee and signing Ben Sheets. Hang in there. The sun will shine upon Miller Park again.
