Forty years ago today Southern Wisconsin received 15-20 inches of snow with 50 mph winds. The interstate was closed for two days.
Sadly(1) this did not happen this year so the Brewers were able to lost five straight games. On March 26th I predicted the Brewers would not win 80 games this year. I did not know that after six games they now have to be on pace to win 83 games just to win 80 . . . . . did that make any sense?
Sadly(2) my fantasy draft was held a few weeks ago and not that I was TRYING I feel like a homer with so many Brewers on my team. It;s not like I was trying to Brew up but every time my pick came the next position I wanted .. WAS A BREWER.
I had the 2nd pick of the draft and picked Ryan Braun. My 3rd pick was Ramirez. My 8th pick and 3rd starting pitcher was Gallardo (Gio González and Mat Latos went before Gallardo). Then I needed a 2B and look who I can get Rickie Weeks, BUT WAIT!! pick 15 is up and I need a shortstop, JJ HARDY (not actually a brewer but . . .) BUT WAIT . . . my catcher is on the DL so with pick #20 I pick up Lucroy (who was only championship team last year) AND, it's not over yet!!
Pick 22 of 23 is Cory Hart as I can use him as 1B and OF when he comes off the DL.
In case you are wondering John Axford was the 11th pick in round 13.
BUT, Braun has not played for a few days and Ramirez is now on the DL.
After one week I'm 7-1-2 in 2nd place.

I had a tree house when I was a kid . . . well more like a tree deck behind the garage but it was fine. Nothing like THIS tree house though. I feel cheated!
Once our Autumn Blaze Maple gets a little bigger I have a project for Caydance and Sydney.
Speaking of trees. Lost of plans this year, the two biggest are a Colorado Spruce which will be only 3 feet high but with 50 feet to go and 15 feet wide and another Heritage River Birch.
That's it for today - gotta work on my business taxes!
See ya!
