Milwaukee Brewers: Week One In Review

Weekly Record: 2-4

Current Record: 2-4

Likes:

• Winning the home opener
• Rickie Weeks scoring runs
• The Brewers ability to get the starters out quickly
• Not too many Cubs fans at the home opener

Dislikes:

• Tons of the loud and annoying variety of Cubs' fans on Saturday.
• Losing opening day and the opening series and home opener series.
• Hardy hitting behind Fielder and this is one reason why: If there’s one out and first is open, teams have walked Prince. Then JJ comes up instead of the speedy Corey Hart. Let’s say the pitcher does his job and gets a ground ball. With Prince and JJ running, two of the slowest members of the team, it’s basically an easy double play.
• Suppan…sigh…picking up where you left off, I see.
• Prince and Braun getting the chance to win or tie the game Saturday and Sunday and not doing it.
