Day 1 Discussion Thread. The Milwaukee Brewers. Why will they win the 2013 World Series? Why won't they?
Editing my Edit: If this sounds good to everyone else, I think that, from now on, in the posts, there will be a sort of prospective roster for next year compiled by the subreddit of the team in question. Hopefully this idea can catch on and the subs are active enough to give everyone who isn't a fan of their team a good background. I'm headed over to post on r/TexasRangers right now. If this doesn't work for the first few teams, I'll just start linking the posts to baseball-reference.com for team statistics from last season. Thanks to u/Bgro for the ideas. Link to the original post. http://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/12oj0m/a_little_offseason_fun_every_baseball_fan_loves/[1]
*Yes, I did post this once earlier this morning. By request of the mods, I changed the title slightly and resubmitted. Sorry if this confused anyone!
Hey all! Welcome to the first day of our experiment. The team today is the Milwaukee Brewers. Please give AT LEAST one reason why they will win the World Series in 2013 and AT LEAST one reason why they will not. The more reasons, they better. Text walls are encouraged. Please upvote the thread for exposure. I get no karma, as it is a self post. Thanks!
Please stay respectful and contribute intelligent conversation. Or just be Reddit. Either one is cool.
DO NOT DOWNVOTE ON BASIS OF OPINION OR TEAM FLAIR. UPVOTE ANSWERS, PASS BY OPINIONS YOU DISAGREE WITH (or at least don't downvote them), AND DOWNVOTE IRRELEVANT OR DEROGATORY COMMENTS. <--- Please follow this rule as best you can. I can't stress it enough.
As a bonus, I'll tell you guys my favorite player on the featured team of the day. When else will I have 200+ people listen to me with no choice? That being said, my favorite player on the Milwaukee Brewers is John Axford. You just can't best that stache in today's game.
I'll chime in with answers to my own questions depending on how familiar I am with the team. Again, I tell you this because I have the capability and the pulpit to let my otherwise irrelevant voice be heard right now. This is being posted so early in the morning, because I'm working on my Humanities final paper. What say you we throw David Hume to the Astros? No one will ever hear from him again.... I'm going to try to catch some sleep now, though. Hopefully I don't screw the Brewers fans over by posting too early in the morning. So, if you see this, please, please, please upvote. I'm hoping this can be near the top all day today. The last thing we want is for this to get buried because of not enough early morning Redditors. After this one, I should get to a consistent schedule of posting these around 9am CST.
Thanks for your time, interest, cooperation, and for putting up with my incessant stress-and-coffee-induced tangents and thoughts. Without further ado, here is the first of 30 installations. The Milwaukee Brewers.
