My advise for Brewer fans!

Normally a record of 15-20 just 35 games into the season does not mean you are out of it. There are still 127 games remaining, that is 78% of the season! The problem is that Milwaukee has already lost 3 of the key players for the season due to injury and our new 3B Aramis Ramirez was a huge waste of money. It looks like 2B Rickie Weeks will never live up to his potential and worse yet, his best days might already be behind him. What do we have, really, as far as stars? Ryan Braun and Zack Grienke, and that's it! Maybe Jonathan LuCroy is on his way but does anyone else on this team excite you? Argue for Yo if you want, or Corey Hart but I don't see them at the same level.

Manager Ron Roenicke does not appear to be the right guy to lead this team. Not only did he totally get out-managed in the NLCS last season but he has failed to react quick enough to what has been happening. He has started to tweek the lineup a little but my god, he still has Aramis Ramirez hitting cleanup. This makes no sense. Don't keep guys who are not producing in production spots in the lineup, no matter how much they make. That is my opinion anyway.

Any expectations of playoffs this season need to be put to rest right now. They simply don't have what it takes. Doug Melvin will not be adding any more expensive players to this team. They need to have some cash to go into the off-season with a chance to re-load again while there is still some talent here. Even if later this season they do jell into a team with good chemistry and get hot a few times, it's a .500 season at best. If this team is not going to get better then what should we do?
Here is my advise:

I say watch just to watch and enjoy baseball and root for your team. Enjoy watching Ryan Braun continue his remarkable career. Support the team, enjoy the Miller Park experience when you are at the game but don't take the losses hard and celebrate the wins, every wins, even wins over bad teams like the Twins or the Cubs because we are not much better.
Take the pressure off of the players and yourself. Drink a few and have fun!

World Series or Bust!

As a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers for 31 years now, I go into every spring training with an excitement of maybe this is the year that the Brewers will surprise and contend for a world title. But every year, they some how find a way to let me down. As the years wore on, I began to lose faith and started to wonder if I would ever see my favorite baseball team play in October. Major League Baseball is set-up like no other sport. Only the teams with money can contend because there is no salary cap. It's an unfair system and I can't believe they haven't fixed it yet! Bud Selig has been given so much credit for creating the wild-card berth but I think his legacy will be remembered for the steroid era and not getting a salary cap for baseball.
With that being said, I'm putting all my chips into the middle on the Milwaukee Brewers playing in the fall classic and winning it! In my opinion, they have a one year window to make a run in the postseason because they added some critical pieces through trades. They added a 2009 Cy Young award winner in Zach Grienke and Toronto's ace Shawn Marcum, who was thier opening day starter last year. They strengthened thier bull-pen with the signing of Takashi Saito, who had a great year with the Braves last year after posting a 2.83 ERA! The Brewers took a lot of heat from the media because they thought adding Yuniesky Betancourt was a down grade from Escobar. But, if you compare thier numbers, Betancourt exceeded Escobar in almost every category. And lets not forget, Escobar was shaky at times on defense last year! The last piece to the puzzle that the Brewers added was Manager Ron Roenicke. It's hard to say wheather or not this guy will be a good Manager because there is no history to go by.
ESPN experts Buster Olney and Tim Kirchen have picked the Brewers to finish second and third in thier division and I think thats an outrage! I'm not sure what else the Brewers have to do to get some national respect because I give the Crew an A+, in terms of offseason additions. I truely believe that if the Brewers don't win it all this year, I will die an old man without ever seeing the Milwaukee Brewers win a World Series!
