Of course, Gallardo starts the season on the DL, and Mike Cameron has to serve a 25 game suspension. What do you think? How much have the Brewers improved in the last year? And is this the best 25 Ned and Doug could have put together?

In other Brewer related news, Sports Illustrated says the Brewers aren't making the playoffs. And they're not even going to take 3rd in their division! It's pretty hard to take this magazine seriously, however, when they pick the Cubs to go to the World Series.
