Brewers So Far

Currently the Brewers are in a four way tie for first place with the Reds, Cardinals, and the crappy Cubs.  All of their records are 9-9 (.500).  Since we started out 0-4 I think that being 9-9 now is pretty damn good, especially since we do not have our most famous offseason acquisition, Zach Greinke.  I think that Zach Greinke is an idiot for his bonehead move and getting hurt playing a pick-up game of basketball.  If you are a professional athlete I think you should be a little more careful and not get hurt right when you come to a new team.  Not a good way to start in Milwaukee, Zach.  However he is pitching simulated and minor league games and he is looking great!  His stuff is so nasty.  Hopefully he is not a further disappointment in Milwaukee, and he lights it up when he's on the mound.  One other thing he needs is a HAIRCUT!

The Brewers so far this season are quite surprising.  They go into Nationals Park and get swept by the nationals, which was quite a disappointment.  Then right after that they have to go into Citizens Bank Park and face the Phillies and their amazing pitching rotation.  No one really had high expectations for that series.  The Brewers went in their and dominated them the first two games.  Everyone was a little surprised.  Then their series finale they are up 3-0 and I'm thinking they are going to sweep one of the best teams in baseball.  However they could not come through in the end, but I still feel positive about their series against the Phillies. 

My expectations for the Brewers this season are to be above .500.  If I had to make a prediction, I would say they will be 88-74, and make it to the playoffs.  I watch almost every game, so if you want to talk about the Brewers, or disagree with me about something, COME AT ME!

Introduction

I have never been apart of "blogging".  It has never really interested me before and I would rather watch SportsCenter than "blog".  Since my Advanced Composition teacher is making my fellow classmates and I blog, I guess I will make the most out of it.  The closest thing I do to blogging is basically Facebook.  I will just start out with a few things about myself.  My name is Ryan and I am a senior in High School.  Basically all I do and think about is sports. Sports sports sports!  I just can't get enough.  I never really choose to read for fun and basically the only reading I do is for homework or the sports page of the paper.  I am taking Advanced Composition because I want to become a better reader and writer.  It is definitely NOT because my father made me take it because I took a bunch of blow off classes my senior year.  That is not the reason at all!  If you want to have any intense conversations or debates about the Brewers, sports, or anything just feel free to comment some of my future blogs.  Good day!
