**The Official Milwaukee Brewers (Season To Season) Thread**

[boarderx5423]

Alright all you Brewer fans out there, with less than a week until Spring Training starts, I think its time to start getting pumped for the 2006 season! We have Capuano, Sheets, Turnbow, Lee, Weeks, Clark, Jenkins, and others returning for more action.

Pre-season action begins on March 2 against the Giants and the season kicks off at home Monday, April 3 against the Pirates. Also mark July 6-9 down on your calender when we take on the sCrUBS at Miller Park!

And in case you forgot, Dayn Perry of FoxSports picks the Crew as the '06 NL Wildcard.

NL wild card — Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers haven't had a winning season since 1992 and haven't made the postseason in almost a quarter century. That's about to end. They'll need a healthy Ben Sheets to make this prediction come true, but they can already bank on full seasons from uber-prospects Rickie Weeks and Prince Fielder, and shortstop J.J. Hardy, who seemed to find his stroke in the second half, could emerge as one of the best shortstops in the NL. GM Doug Melvin, one of the most underrated execs in the game, can trade Lyle Overbay for pitching if need be, and the bullpen figures to be quite strong. Also, the Brewers last season ranked sixth in the 16-team NL in starters' ERA, and that's with only 156.2 innings from Sheets. Believe it: Milwaukee will be in the playoffs in 2006.

This is our year!

I'll believe it when me shit smells like rainbow sherbert

[SatelliteEyes]

Awwwww Yeeeaahhhhhhhh!!! 2006 is the year of the BeerMaker!!!

Let all of those outside Wisconsin underestimate us, but we will surprise. I don't even want you people to believe, because it will be that much sweeter when we spank your asses this year!!!

Last year 89 wins took the Wild Card. This year let's shoot for 90 and take it home!!!!

Jump on the Bandwagon now folks so you dont like like fool come September!

[boarderx5423]

Let everyone know you support the greatest team in baseball by becoming an offical fan club member!

[Clay Mustapha]

Here's member #2 checking in for what looks to be a great season.

[Clay Mustapha]

Prediction:

Ben Sheets will get 20 wins this season

[SatelliteEyes]

Last season I think I was member #7. I guess I'll lay claim to that number again and reinstall it into the sig...

[SatelliteEyes]

I still remember last year when we rolled up the Stinkees and took two out of three against their almighty dollar team. More to come this year, the Yankees are lucky they dont play us again this year.

The Devil Rays did that on more than one occasion last year and they are horrible

ok Nick, you're right, we'll probably be the NL version of the Devil Rays this year..so I guess that means you'll have no reason to come into the thread and rain on our parade anymore, since we'll obviously suck and are only a threat to Cincinatti to take last place this year, so see ya in June when the Twins come to Milwaukee and kick our asses like they did(n't) last year.

Unless that says something more about the Yankees than it does about the D'Rays and Brewers.

By the way, I obviously know that you can't really tell anything about one 3 game series in July, Im just trying to fire up the troops.

Brewers/Twins play 6 times again this year, 3 home, 3 away. We will see after July 2nd...

[SatelliteEyes]

Oh, and Nick, perhaps I dont know the situation behind the sig, but if you are quoting Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction (like I said, I dont know, maybe you arent) then it's "I'm a mushroom cloud layin mutherfucker, mutherfucker" not "droppin"

The scene goes:

You're gettin' ready to blow? I'm a mushroom-cloud-layin' motherfucker! Every time myfingers touch brain I'm "SUPERFLY T.N.T," I'm the "GUNS OF NAVARONE."

and speaking of mushroom clouds, the BrewCrew are gonna lay some on the NL Central this year.

[boarderx5423]

It will be interesting to see how the Cards adjust to there new stadium. If they have a tough time, could we perhaps see the Brewers take the NL Central...

[boarderx5423]

We just signed another 5 players...

Yeah, got it fixed, thanks, my mistake

[boarderx5423]

Sorry I didn't clarify, this thread was made with the intention of Brewers fans having a place where we can get excited about the team we love, not for others to come in and bash us.

#8

[boarderx5423]

We will get that all worked out in the next few weeks...

Spring training has started, as long as Sheets stays healthy, Capuano has a repeat of last year, Ohka can improve at Miller Park, and we can get a solid 5th started (Bush or Helling, more likely to be Bush), we have a decent chance to still be playing in October.

Good performances from our young infield, along with Lee and Jenkins being hot together this year wouldn't help either...

[boarderx5423]
