The Reason To Enjoy The Season
Adam McCalvey and BCB have been busy this week, so I've done some light reading of all the reasons and hemming and hawing about the upcoming season. I haven't been able to focus completely on the articles (save for the irrational exuberance of the Shepherd Express cover page), but the general impression I have is that A) fans are high expectations of the team and B) critics don't think the team has enough.
I don't think they have what it takes to make the playoffs ... they'd have to win the NL Central and overcome both the Cardinals and Cubs (no small feat). I hold firm at 83 wins, but hope that it's more and the cards fall their way (Cards and Cubs falter, the pitching/defense combo pans out). However, I will be blinded by visions of grandeur because of this quote from Larry Granillo at Baseball Analysts earlier today:
That's the reason I'll watch and enjoy this season and next.

How good is Yovani Gallardo? Let's just say that the Brewers aren't too far away from having two homegrown, legitimate MVP contenders and one homegrown, legitimate Cy Young contender playing together every year. I can't wait.
That's the reason I'll watch and enjoy this season and next.
