Crazy Brewers Predictions...

[clancyphile]

* Weeks has monster year - 30 homers, 60 steals, 30 errors at second.

* Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder become the first teammates to hit 60 homers in the same season. Prince finishes with 70, Braun hits 64, and steals 34 bases.

 

* Gabe Gross starts in left field - leads team in outfield assists and he has the most home runs by a Brewers outfielder with 38.

 

* Bill Hall rebounds - has double figures in doubles (45), triples (10), homers (37), and steals (30). He also finishes with 13 assists from the outfield.

 

* JJ Hardy hits only 15 homers, but breaks the team record in doubles, ending the season with 55.

 

* Corey Hart has the worst year of the Brewers' OF starters - he only hits .284 with 32 homers and 28 steals.

 

* Chris Capuano leads the team in wins with 19. Sheets finishes second with 18.

 

* The Brewers bullpen is the best in the majors. Only three saves are blown all year - all by Gagne.

 

* Sheets signs a six-year, $65 million extension in June. Prince Fielder signs a ten-year, $125 million contract extension with a no-trade clause on July 30. On the last day of the regular season, Rickie Weeks signs his ten-year extension for $110 million.

 

* Brewers defeat the Red Sox in the World Series, 4 games to 2. After Boston wins Games 1 and 3, the tide turns when Jason Kendall hits a game-winning 3-run homer of Papelbon in the bottom of the 9th - his only homer of the 2008 season. After Ben Sheets tosses a no-hitter in Game 5, the Brewers win Game 6 in a blowout paced by two home runs and two triples from JJ Hardy.

 

* Ned Yost is given a five-year contract as manager.

Undefeated from pole to pole, April to October. 173-0, baby. (You asked for crazy, you'll get crazy.)

Mike Maddux ends up on the 60-day DL in early June due to an allergic reaction to Just For Men for Mustache, Beard and Sideburns that leaves him without a mustache, thus making his mound-visit conversations transparent to the opposition and rendering him useless as a pitching coach. Feeling guilty, Just For Men offers the services of Keith Hernandez, but the Brewers decide to add pitching coach to Dale Sveum's duties instead.

Ryan Braun brings lasting peace to the middle east with a diving grab sometime in May

[sgtcluels]

Hmmm..

 

Sheets wins Cy Young, signs 6 year contract extension with home team discount after feeling guilty about all the time he missed.

Hall rebounds from slump year, and the CF Question is answered once and for all

Uecker out for 2 months after taking a foul ball to the head ending up with a concussion and a bit of post concussion syndrome. Cirillo joins the announcer team.

Brewers start off sweept by the Cubs after giving up 3 9th ining leads. End up going 0 - 10 due bullpen mishandling...this leads to the eventual dismissal of Yost, Brewers rally after.

I get interviewed by Erin Andrews sparking our love affair.

Mench gets picked up by the Giants. Follows a ball to me knocking over my Nachos... jerk.

Nobody thinks Sheet will be healthy even as a dream...

[mrwisconsin]

Brewers will win 120 games.

Brewers have six players hit 20+ home runs (Hardy and Hall), and four over 30 (Weeks, Fielder, Hart and Braun). Along with that, Weeks, Hart and Braun all have 30+ steals as well.

Other than the 30 steals for Weeks, Hart, and Braun that one sounds pretty realistic.

[TooLiveBrew]

Yovani Gallardo hits 3 HR.

 

Guillermo Mota chews 6477 sticks of gum.

 

Rickie Weeks hits 30+ HR.

 

Eric Gagne admits that Milwaukee is actually more like a AAAA player who finally gives in to PEDs than the Las Vegas 51s. Mil. is totally like a 20 HR - 20 SB player after that.

 

Ryan Braun hits 40 HR, just because he's pissed that you talked so much about his defense!

Guillermo Mota chews 6477 sticks of gum.

 

i wonder how much cirillo chews?

[JET15]

Prince Fielder clothelines Carlos Zambrano while stretching across to catch an errant Braun throw. The dugouts clear and I die from the heart attack I get while screaming at my TV.

 

Go Crew

 

RIP JET15

DM starts talking completely in "and that's."

Ben Sheets misses 4 months due to malfunctioning saliva glands.

Lou Pinella eats Counsell.

Wise intentionally beans Yost in the head, Wise gets his control back, and Yost becomes clear-headed and wins NL manager of the year.

[TooLiveBrew]

Bill Hall 2008: .275/.350/.500/.850, 25 HR, 50 BB, 130 K

 

Had some setbacks in 2007, but don't forget that '08 is Hall's age 28 season. (I really want to say 30 for the HR category)

^this is so genius^

here are mine:

 

- ryan braun is an unlikely success in left field and he maintains a .320/.365/.950 line with 41 jacks and 24 swipes, becomes one half of the first ever teammates to share regular season MVP honors (Fielder .310/380/.1.000; 55hr/135rbi)

 

- guillermo mota goes rick ankiel and starts throwing the ball everywhere but over the plate. on july 31, on the cusp of a brewers sweep, he plunks derek lee and aramis ramirez consecutively, inciting a brawl in which turnbow and fielder regulate on zambrano and wood

 

- melvin requests that they bring back the original rally rabbit (the one that makes you sure you're on a bad trip when you see it) and the brewers lead the league with 15 comeback wins in the eighth inning or later

 

- sandy maxx is gunned down in a hail of gunfire on a balmy august night on the friday's party deck after going postal and offing a few sportserv employees with a sawmill slat bat factory bat. while on her tirade she is heard to yell something to the effect of, "i'm the real star of this show, fielder!!!"

Prince Fielder gets traded before the deadline. The Brewers promote LaPorta to play 1B. He plays gold glove caliber defense and makes all the infielders better propelling us into the playoffs and our first World Series win.

* Weeks has monster year - 30 homers

* Prince finishes with 70, Braun hits 64

* Gabe Gross has the most home runs by a Brewers outfielder with 38.

* Bill Hall rebounds - has homers (37)

* JJ Hardy hits 15 homers

* Corey Hart has 32 homers

I love this post, so far it's the one I would most want to see happen...it adds up to 286 homers and that's only from 7 players. That would be sweet.
