Card of the Day: 1982 Donruss Roy Howell
Howell has yet to play anything like the player the Brewers thought they were getting. And his refusal to be a backup isn’t helping.
Opening Day Snowed Out
MILWAUKEE — Normally, we’d be previewing the opening Brewers series at home with the Indians. Well, if you’ve looked around outside, you know that a baseball game in Milwaukee today is impossible.
Since there’s a built in day off tomorrow, the game has been tentatively delayed a day. But the odds can’t be good for any baseball in this city for a few more days.
You bought Opening Day tickets? You’re probably gonna have to wait. The next series is in Toronto. The series after that is in Cleveland. Unless a miracle shines on this city in the next 24 hours, the Brewers won’t have their home opener until April 16 against the Rangers.
If it feels like the baseball gods are picking on us and our Brewers, think again. Opening Day American League games at Detroit and Chicago scheduled for today have also been postponed. You’d think that maybe MLB schedule makers could have made an attempt to have the first series or two in domes and warm cities whenever possible. Right?
So stay tuned. Baseball will come. We will wait.

Moore Drops Trade Request
Sun City, Ariz. — Charlie Moore‘s happy, and that’s a ray of sunshine on the Brewers’ spring. Moore previously demanded a trade to a team willing to make him a starting catcher, but dropped that request according to a report from Tom Flaherty of The Milwaukee Journal.
So why did Moore change his tune? He and general manager Harry Dalton met Sunday in an effort to clear the air. Dalton assured Moore that he would be given a shot at an outfield spot, most likely right field. [Read more…] about Moore Drops Trade Request
