The only thing that sucks more than my damn taxes is Jeff Suppan. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

I'm just getting my tubed meats par-boiled and Bloody Mary fixings together. Gotta get the grill in the truck (charcoal this year, and I will remember all the parts). Three layers of Brewer shirts laundered and ready to accept whatever I can dish out.. All portable tables and chairs were dusted off yesterday as I cracked a bottle of Lite in anticipation of this great day. Plates, forks, knives, napkins, beer, onions, mustard, ketchup, beer, utensils, scooter, beer, helmet, garbage bags, and band-aids. All check. Oh yeah and Kraut, can't forget the Kraut. It's going to be a bit chilly, but a few years back I went to an opening day when it was snowing sideways, so this should feel like Miami. Sunglasses, check. Tunes, check. Bad Truck stereo, check. Oh, and we get to see a baseball game too.........cool.

No Cubs fans were harmed in the making of this entry.

Brewers new ace Gallardo got the win last night, including a 3 run home run in the 5th to put the Brewers up for good.

Don't expect it to last, but Gallardo currently leads the Brewers in RBI and is tied with Cameron in home runs.

Jeff Suppan sucks. He really sucks. He sucks really a lot. He sucks hard. His pitching is like a vacuum constantly sucking. He sucks in ways I can't explain. He sucks. Suck.

Cubs suck.

Tom Haudricourt said today on 540 that Ricky Weeks had a great spring training and Haudricourt expects him to have a much better year.

Haudricourt said Weeks had only 1 error in spring training and looked very good in the field. He also mentioned he was swinging the bat better, literally. He said his "waggle" is much less pronounced and he is on the ball better.

Edit: In his first game Weeks scored a run, drove one in, had 2 hits and a walk. Pretty good start. If he can bat .280 for the year, that would be a Godsend.
