April 2008 - Milwaukee Brewers
Manager and GM Fritsche

6th April 2008 - Opening Day

Game #1 – Milwaukee [0-0] (B. Sheets 0-0, 0.00 ERA) at Los Angeles Dodgers [0-0] (C. Kershaw 0-0, 0.00 ERA)

As the Dodgers chose lefty 19-game loser Kershaw as their opening starter, our lineup wasn't exactly what I supposed being out every day line-up:

SS Cesar Izturis
RF Lorenzo Cain
2B Rickie Weeks
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
CF Bill Hall
3B Mat Gamel
C Henry Blanco
P Ben Sheets

The Dodgers countered with:

CF Juan Pierre
2B Tony Abreu
LF Matt Kemp
3B Andy LaRoche
RF Andre Ethier
1B Olmedo Saenz
SS Rafael Furcal
C Russell Martin
P Clayton Kershaw

Kershaw (6.75 ERA) and Sheets (12.10 ERA) were both horrible in spring training, so the audience was very curious how they would pitch on opening day.

The game itself was not a very spectacular one. The Dodgers took the lead through a rare Tony Abreu homer in the first. They added another one in the fourth, which was virtually enough to beat us. We wasted three baserunners in the ninth to lose the first game of the season.

Milwaukee at Dodgers: 2-3

W: C. Kershaw (1-0), L: B. Sheets (0-1)
H: H. Kuo (1), T. Saito (1)
S. J. Broxton (1)
HR - / T. Abreu (1), A. LaRoche (1)
MoM: C. Kershaw - 7.0 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K

Elsewhere:

The Buffalo Blizzards 4th Round Expansion Draft Pick 2B Eric Campbell tore his back muscle and is expected to be out for 1 year and 1 month. The Blizzards lost their mayor league debut 5-1 at the Phillies, while their expansion comrades the Vancouver Marmots blew a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the 8th, to fall 9-5 to the visiting Kansas City Royals.
