Don't Worry, I Didn't Forget About You
Good Monday to you all, wherever you may be. I am sorry for my inconsistent blogging as of late. I have been on the road for baseball, school has been getting somewhat hectic and I also have been working a lot at Miller Park in preparation for the 2005 season.

I'm happy to say after the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament that I have all of the teams in the Sweet 16. I don't know what everybody else is talking about, I picked UWM, NC State, Texas Tech, West Virginia, and Utah to go to the Sweet 16...Ha ha yeah right.

Does any team have an easier road to the elite 8 than the Badgers? Northern Iowa (11), Bucknell (14) , now they face NC State (10).

The Brewers are reportedly close to signing Ben Sheets to a multi-year deal. It should be announced within the week. The Brewers made a few roster moves on Friday, lefty Rigo Beltran was released, infielder and Wisconsin-native Matt Erickson along with catcher Julio Mosquera were returned to minor league camp. Pitcher Sam Narron and outfielder and top 10 prospect Nelson Cruz were optioned to Triple-A Nashville and lefty Andy Pratt was outrighted to Nashville.

Things should be pretty exciting at Miller Park this year. The Brewers have bought a brand-new digital replay system, which means they will be able to show more replays and be more creative with how they show them. Also, as I write this the team is installing a new marquee along the freeway. It will be in color and play video as well. The new ownership has all ready made some big investments in the franchise, now let's hope the product on the field will be as good as everything else that surrounds it.
