Brewers vs. Cubs April 9

                I’ve been to several Brewers and Cubs in previous years.  One of those games was at Wrigley in Chicago.  After last night, I can honestly say that Brewers fans are much more respectful than Cubs fans.  We had a whole group of twenty-something Cubs loving kids sitting in front of us.  They apparently made the trip from Chicago, which baffles me as to why they wouldn’t just sit down and enjoy the game.  Why drive 2 hours to stand up and take pictures the whole time?   Honestly, they should not serve alcohol to out of staters.

                On the bright side, the Crew got a shutout of 6-0.  Narveson continued to look impressive.   Seven scoreless innings!  He is looking rather awesome compared to the rest of the team.  This could be a good sign of things to come.  If Narveson is pitching like an ace now, how great will this team be when the top of the rotation gets their act together?

                Fielder had a monster game.  Anytime a guy gets more than three RBIs, he is having a good game.  Nyjer Morgan also got an RBI as well as scored a run.  Not a lot of people were expecting much from him.  I want to give the guy a chance.   If he can contribute to runs like that, he could be very valuable, especially with Hart injured.

Opening Day

I went to my first Opening Day at Miller Park.  It is something that I always wanted to do along with going to a Packers Monday night game.  It was a good time, but let me tell you, it sure was a side show.   People seemed to have been lined up for hours before the lots opened.  After the game, it seemed like it was going to take hours for the lot to clear out.   Also, as a man, I can’t recall ever needing to waiting in line to use the bathroom.  On Opening Day, you will find yourself waiting.

                Several members of the Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers were there to throw out the first pitch.  They seemed to do a good job, except Frank Zombo, who couldn’t quite get the ball to go 60 feet.

                The Crew came into the game at 0-3 and was looking to get that elusive first win.  It appeared to be a pitching duel early on as Chris Narveson pitched a fantastic game.  Brandon Beachy pitched over 7 innings and only allowed a run.   Narveson went 6 scoreless.   He is really coming into his own.

                The Crew was poised to get that win until Saito came in and allowed two home runs.  Yeeeeeah, that was not cool.  That was a little too much to handle as the Crew could now get another run.   They go to 0-4 and I am starting to worry.    We need to win games at home.
