well it's the start of spring folks. yes i know it was actually the start weeks ago but i'm slow and way too lazy to put in my thoughts about this time of year. why may you ask? because i live in wisconsin where spring doesn't start till August and you get three days of nice weather and then blistering humidity for a month then it's fall and then winter for 10 months. global warming it's not but more like WTF Weather. spring always tends to look like this in Sconnie. in the month of April and the end of March we get at least 1-2 days and anywhere's up to a week of good weather. this can be spread across the board or all at one time. the remaining days are either 1. snowing 2. raining 3. a combination or both 4. or the dreaded warm/cold/warm/humid/cold type of shitastic weather. i.e. why i don't like spring that much because it nevers stays consistant over time.
but one of my favorite (new) pastimes started yesterday. Brewers baseball. yes i'm a Crew fan big surprise. but any baseball team named after an alcoholic beverage is fine by me. plus the Crew have the most annoyingly interesting franchises in the league. why? because we are owned by Bud (No This isn't a Toupee) Selig's family, we were originally the Milwaukee Braves and had Hank Aaron for a little while, and our original logo is a mitt shaped like and M and a B. awesomeness. i will pretty much shit my pants if the Brew Crew make it into the playoffs this year. but the goal is simple....don't choke. they always choke and usually right after the all star break. this year all i hope is that our pitching rotation stays healthy for at least most of the season. if we can keep a rotation together, take some pressure off of the bullpen the Crew have enough talent to make some impact in the league. i am not trying to be openly optimistic but hopeful enough to watch the team.
in other spring baseball news. the Cubbies are being sold at the end of the season. i wonder if they offended another goat during the off season. rough for the Cubs but here is my suggestion. publicly sell the team like the Packers. there are enough crazy Cubs fans that would buy stock in the team. hell even Bartman would probably buy some shares....if they let him.
also in more Midwest Baseball here is The Hold Steady's Twinsified "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" mp3. entertaining and another reminder of spring.
keep hitting homeruns.
