In a bit of unusual scheduling, the Cubs are making their first visit of the season to Milwaukee. The Brewers played two series in Chicago in April - why play under the comfort of a roof that time of year - and took two of three both times.--Tom H, JS
I'm sure the Brewers would have just been giddy to play even more home games in April and lose dates in July...talk about no comprehension of baseball or business. The guy is a "casual" journalist, to be kind.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I don't
believe in paying a no hit/good field SS $7 million per year (Jack Wilson, I'm talking about you). I don't think
it's a good idea to "play for a run" early in the game. Build up your
minor league system, and watch success follow.
