Spring Training

The first exhibition game is tomorrow, while this isn't a game that will matter towards anything. It is good enough to know that the regular season is just over a month away. I cannot wait for it to start. Here is the starting pitching lineup so far, at least for spring training. This came from the JSONLINE.COM website. Jeff Suppan, Yovani Gallardo, Manny Parra, Braden Looper and Dave Bush. I would have made it Dave Bush, Yovani Gallardo, Manny Parra, Braden Looper and Jeff Suppan. Maybe putting Suppan first will light a fire under his ass and he will do something great for once. I hope Suppan can get his shit straight because I'm getting sick of complaining about him. Bush gets less respect than former President Bush and I don't get it. He is streaky, I'll give the nay sayers that, but he was great the second half of last year. I can understand not putting all the pressure on Yo right away, and I think he will be the best pitcher we have this year. I think we will have at least 3 or 4 allstars this year. I am betting on Braun, Fielder, Hardy and Gallardo. Not sure if I commented on the Gagne signing, but I like it. I recommended it weeks ago and it has happened. Our bullpen looks just as good last year in my opinion. We lost a couple of decent pitchers but picked up some that were just as good.

We are in the midst of planning another trip down to Milwaukee to check out a series, not sure who we will go and see though. The May 1st series against the D-Backs is the leading candidate. I am also thinking that going late in the year would be a good option, maybe a series against San Fran or possibly Philly at the end of the year. My wife and I are also going to see the Crew take on the scrubs on July 4th weekend in Chitown.

Gotta cook some food, peace.
