Will the Brewers finish over .500?

Will the Brewers finish over .500? Will they make the playoffs? Will they stay healthy? Will Corey Hart and Mat Gamel make an impact once back? I will answer all of those and more. I think they will finish barely under .500, their worst possible record being 65-97, and at best probably around 88-74. With that said, I think we will probably miss the playoffs, but we might just sneak into the final wildcard spot. Will they stay healthy? I can't really answer this question but I think we will probably suffer 1 major injury to someone like Braun or Gallardo, and 1 more not as big, like a Rickie Weeks or Willy Peralta. I think Corey Hart will impact some but not a ton. He will probably bat about .275 with 18 home runs over the last 100 games. Mat  Gamel won't impact us and lose his starting job after 10 games.  Will John Axford pick it up? I don't think so. I have no reason to believe he will, and because he didn't do well at the last season either. Lastly, even though this is way down the road, I think the Brewers will sign someone like Matt Garza or maybe Josh Johnson(both free agents) at the end of the season.

MLB Leaders

With MLB Baseball One Month into the season I think it's time to decide whether or not the people that are leading the league in the stats below are Legit  Meaning they keep up the work and have a successful season even if they don't league in the category- or a Fluke- Meaning that this is only a coincedence and they won't even keep a good start going and just bomb the rest of the season.
NL Batting Average Leader: Carlos Gomez MIL .364. Legit- The Only reason that I am saying this is not a fluke is because he showed signs of doing this last year. He won't be hitting as high as he is now but at the end of the year I think he will be hitting around .315 BA.
AL Batting Average Leader: Miguel Cabrera .385 Legit- This guy is on fire, he is showing people that he was meant to have that triple crown last year and he might have a chance at it this year the way he has been hitting. And at the end of the year I think he will end up hitting around .335

Roy Halladay the once Ace pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies will under go surgery to "clean out" his pitching shoulder. He said that if he needed surgery that he would retire  but I don't believe it. He should be back sometime this year hopefully and be able to play out the season. Roy Halladay has an 8.94 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP which is among the worst in the league. Maybe after this surgery he come back to be the Ace we all know.

Golden State Vs. San Antonio

Usatsi_7251931_crop_north
Last night the spurs faced off against the hot Warriors in game one of the series. Stephen Curry, has been unstoppable in the 3rd quarter and in this game he was again. In the 3rd quarter alone he dropped 22 points. At the end of the third quarter the Warriors were up 92-80. But not for long. The spurs roared back in the 4th quarter to force OT. Both teams scored nine points and it was on to 2OT. The Warriors were down by one with less than 10 seconds left when Golden state got a late bucket to take the lead by 1. With only seconds left the Spurs called a timeout. They left Manu Ginobili wide open behind the arc and the ball was directed straight at him. Right when he touched the ball he shot it. Drained! He hit the 3 to go up by 2. The Warriors called a timeout to give themselves a chance but when it was all said and done the Warriors fell in game 1.

NBA Playoffs Round 1 over Conference Semi's underway


     All 4 game sixes were won by the team that was up 3-2. The Celtics made a frantic comeback but the Knicks handled them in the final minute and got the W. The Thunder, Grizzlies and Warriors each won their series. The Bulls won game 7 against Brooklyn although they were very shorthanded. Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich were out.
     I think that the Heat will beat Chicago in 5, Indiana will beat the Knicks in 7. In the west OKC will win in 6 and SA will win in 6 games.
