Brewer Nation SPS 2008...Let's Ride!

By: Big Rygg

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages (though if you're too young to be on the internet without your parents' permission, then shame on you!)...

...the Brewer Nation proudly brings to you it's 2008 National League Central Season Preview Series!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been about as delayed as anything ever, but with the perfectly-timed (even if nice-looking) upgrades to MLBlogs coupled with my own procrastination (which was aided by the fact that I have a 13-week-old daughter)...well, it's been a long off-season after all.

So, without any further proscrastination, we shall hit these in reverse order of 2007 final standings (though I'll of course do the Brewers last).

For those of you unfamiliar with or forgetful about the final NL Central standings from 2007, here is the order in which you'll see these posts:

1. Pittsburgh Pirates (68-94)
2. Cincinnati Reds (72-90)
3. Houston Astros (73-89)
4. St. Louis Cardinals (78-84)
5. Chicago Cubs (85-77)
6. Milwaukee Brewers (83-79)

I'll be compiling the reports and will be posting them one at a time at somewhat irregular intervals, but hopefully with enough time in between so that people have a chance to check them out and comment or whatever.

Look for Pittsburgh tonight (well, tomorrow morning actually here in Wisconsin by the time I get it posted). After that, I was going to try to put down intervals, but when I try to hit an absolute deadline on these posts, something usually comes up. When I have a loose deadline, things tend to flow more easily. Thank you, Mr. Murphy.

Check back in a little while for...
