This last week marks one of my favorite times of the year: the start of the baseball season! I am a Arizona Diamondbacks fan as I use to live there when the franchise started ten years ago. I even got to go to game six of the Diamondbacks v. Yankees 2001 world series (which we won by the way). After watching the diamondbacks franchise start their first season, to watching them win a world series, it is hard to ever like any other team. Now, after saying that, I must admit that the only other team that holds any spot in my heart is the Brew crew. I have spent my life either living in Wisconsin or Arizona, and my choice in favorite teams shows just that. I like the diamondbacks for baseball, and the packers for football. I mean come on, how could I even support the Arizona Cardinals when more than half of the people that go to the games go to watch the other team.
Despite that, I firmly believe that people should find "their" team and support them win or lose. That is the one thing that Wisconsin fans do best. It disgusts me seeing so many red sox hats and shirts popping up all over the place ever since they have won the world series. Baseball is a game built around the loyalty of fans, and each team needs that support. Don't go jumping on any bandwagons just because your team is losing and another team is winning. In my perfect world, all baseball games would be sold out regardless of how the team is playing, as fans just love to watch their team play. I would also probably take all of Alex Rodriguez millions of dollars and donate it and eliminate the Yankees from baseball (but that is beside the point). So for you brew crew fans reading this, I hope you supported your team even when you didn't have fielder popping fourty plus homers. Support your team not for the love of winning, but for the love of the game.

Like you I am definately excited for this upcoming baseball season. I know that everyone always says this, but I think this is the Brew Crew's year. I thought they were going to get off to a rough start though with both capi and gallardo on the DL, but it seems like they are doing fine without him except for the fact that I am disapointed with Bush and will be glad when he is out of the lineup again. My one criticism though is Gagne. Right now this move looks bad for the Brewers and I really just wish they would have given Turnb(l)ow another chance. Other than that, I'm ready to take some road trips and hit up some bobble head days.
Yeah, Gagne wasn't such a great idea. Sure he was great back in his day, but we should have looked at what happened at Boston before signing him.
