Miller Park….here we come!

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im going to Miller Park this season! April 10th against St. Louis. Coinsidentally, that game is at 2:00 central time on FOX. Also, I recently found out where Im going to be sitting. Go to the link given below and go to section 338 of Miller Park, thats approximately where we will be sitting.

Its a nice view too! Also, its a good spot for catching foul balls. So, ought to be fun!

One bad thing is that there is a “slim” chance I might not see Albert Pujols at that game. He strained his back a few days ago and had an MRI on it Tuesday. When I say slim, I mean almost “the thickness of one hair chance”. Im gonna love it at Miller Park. Also, there is a chance I might go to one of the games in the Brewers-Mariners series. That would be great because I get to see Ichiro and Ken Griffey Jr. Griffey is probably my favorite non-Brewer player in the MLB. Also, any of you on Skype? Just wondering.

A great season has come to an end

our season has come to an end.

Our Durand girls team lost to Altoona 40-37. It was a great run. At one point, we were down 32-24, and we went on a RAMPAGE! We went on an 11-0 run, but Altoona came back to score in the late seconds. It was a great season, and I feel thankful to be a fan. So, thanks girls! You gave a true team effort, and that is greatly appreciated here in Durand, Wisconsin. Also, a farewell to seniors Sam Schoeder and Courtney Brusoe. Sam will be geatly missed, but life must move on. Also, at least we have Teisha Wegner, who is a geat friend of mine. We have always been friends, and we always have fun. Though Im taller than her. :)

Durand girls basketball team

Just like last year, we are close on going to state this year. I went to the game in Barron (against Barron) and it was amazing. That place was loud, along with myself. I rarely talk in school, so Im suprised I even opened my mouth at the game. We beat the Barron Golden Bears 59-47. Next, we play the Altoona Rails in Chetek, Wisconsin. The game starts at 1:00, and the fan bus leaves at 10:45 a.m. So, it ought to be very interesting how this game turns out. Also, I just thought I would show you guys this:

Unsung heroes in the field

You all know that there are some players who break out but are not expected to.  Us Brewers know all about that. Prince wasnt expected to hit his first home run against the Twins in 2005 while pinch-hitting. Casey McGehee wasnt expected to be the full=time starting third baseman. Everyone knows that some guys on each and every MLB team will play better than expected for that upcoming season. So, as I sit here, relaxing in a recliner, watching Spring Training baseball with the White Sox and Cubs, I realize that some of the guys for each team werent even expected to make that squad. Sure, they may be cut, but that experience gives them motivation for a future date. Here are some guys to watch for the upcoming season.

 

Joe Inglett  MIL

Jim Edmonds  MIL

Bill Hall  BOS (Still my favorite player, even though he was traded away from the Brewers)

Marco Scutaro  BOS

Bobby Scales  CHC

Mike Rivera NYY

Brandon Allen ARZ

Joaquin Arias TEX
