What was nice about County Stadium was the was the air blew through it, helped keep you cool , if you had a shady seat.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20483025.post-60282940196833402152007-06-02T10:15:00.000-05:002007-06-02T10:15:00.000-05:00I think that Brewers are starting to pull out of t...I think that Brewers are starting to pull out of their slump (in fact, they’ve just won two games from the Marlins). I also predict that they will take the NL Central, although I’m more confident in the weakness of the competition than in the strength of the Brewers. Looking at the standings this morning, the Brewers have a 6 ½ game lead - the second largest in baseball - over the second-place Cardinals, who are six games under .500. But I’m not sure whether the Brewers can hold up against premier NL teams like the Mets and Dodgers. <BR/><BR/>Hardy is playing very well, but it’s tough to say if he’s in over his head. He’s only in his third season and was limited to 35 games last year due to injury. So we really don’t know what he’s capable of doing over a complete season. What’s been most surprising to me is his new-found power. I hope he can keep it up. <BR/><BR/>I liked your comment about Ron Santo. When we lived in Madison, I could often pull-in Cubs games on the radio and at first I couldn't believe that they let this guy on the air. But after a while he began to grow on me. The Brewers, of course, have Bob Uecker who is the perfect mix of humor and competence. I still listen to him thanks to MLB.com radio, which is a godsend for expatriates like me.Thomas Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168017369500841150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20483025.post-17588392416258011562007-06-01T16:27:00.000-05:002007-06-01T16:27:00.000-05:00I was going to dispute your claim that the Cubs ar...I was going to dispute your claim that the Cubs are not the ultimate losers. Did you see the show a while back asking who had the worse curse, Red Sox or Cubs? Red Sox fans rejected the Cubs claim on the basis that the Cubs never even given you the illusion that they're going to win.<BR/><BR/>But you're right, the Cubs losing ways give them a strange charm. The fact that they continue to let Ron Santo work their radio coverage can only mean that they are intentionally cultivating this. The Brewers on the other hand have got nothing.<BR/><BR/>Still I really thought they were going to be this year's Tigers. I think they can hold on in the central.<BR/><BR/>How far over his head is J.J. Hardy playing right now? Is he really this good?Andy Kaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863052203418450397noreply@blogger.com
