Sadly, I had to leave Milwaukee for a job. Now I'm in Texas, in the middle of Ranger and Cowboy country. . . (serious yuck mouth) full of piss and vinegar for anyone who calls themselves a democrat... (whatever). I even went to a rodeo recently... dipping in the recneck bbq sauce there. hehehe. My point is, I don't get to hear a lot of what's going on, because I gave up ESPN forever --> becuase they're dicks who say outrageous things becuase they feel like they create sports headlines, and becuase whenever I watch that channel, I get a serious urge to throw something into my expensive flat screen television that I bought while stationed in Korea for the Army.

A lifelong Wisconsin whatever fan, born and raised about 3 miles from County Stadium - Miller Park is really nice, but I miss good old County - it sucks not being able to read the paper's sports section and have anything relevant to my fandom.

So this is my question. . .

With Braun's suspension gone, and Fielder gone, how does our starting lineup look?

1. RF - Hart

2. CF - Gomez and Morgan

3. LF - Braun

4. 3B - Ramierez

5. 2B - Weeks

6. 1B - Gamel

7. SS - Gonzalez

8. C - Lucroy

SP1 - Gallardo

SP2 - Greinke

SP3 - Marcum

SP4 - Wolfe

SP5 - Narveson

Am I correct in this? How effective is this lineup going to be without the big guy in the 4th slot. Is the new SS a hitter or a fielder? Are they going to gell together as a unit? I'm finally excited about the season, despite knowing I'll get to watch maybe 5-10 games here in Texas unless they make it into the playoffs and make a good run.
