Personally, I think the wild card this year for this team is unlikely,
but I won't rule it out as impossible. I have to admit that I was
shocked when a friend handed me his copy of SI and I saw that the
writers of that magazine picked MKE to finish second in the NL Central
behind Saint Louis and ahead of Houston. The rest of the prediction
was Cubs in 4th, Pirates 5th, and Reds last. This differs from the
way I had picked the division to finish. I picked Houston to win the
central, followed by SL, then MKE then the Pirates in 4th, Cubs 5th
and Reds last.

I was at todays game and had a great time, the team looked pretty good
but there is still lots of room for improvement....especially at first
base. Thankfully Cory Hart and Bill Hall can both play that position
and I believe that in the near future one of them will have that spot
and Fielder will be another benchwarmer.

So Chris, I see you are going on Saturday. So am I, I took that game
as the freebie in my 9 pack and I am spending the weekiend in MKE and
seeing Sundays game as well. It would be great to put a face to the
name so if you want to meet and chat for a little bit let me know.
