Dude, Braun–LAY OFF. Prince just hit two homeruns in the game. He doesn’t need you trying to eat his head.

So, I may have missed the opening day countdown, but the Brewers are off to an 11-7 start without really playing offense, so I think that’s good enough reason to bring back this post! Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the 5th annual “Rank your Milwaukee Brewers” poll. Here’s the history to see what we’re stacking up against:

2004: Brett Favre Wins (don’t ask)
2005: Derrick Turnbow
2006: JJ Hardy
2007: JJ Hardy

Hardy has it two years in a row… will he make this year the trifecta? Will Turnbow make a comeback? Will we get someone new? Vote early, vote often!

GABE KAPLER, CF	JJ HARDY, SS	COREY HART, RF	BILL HALL, 3B	RYAN BRAUN, LF	DERRICK TURNBOW, P

It’s been nearly a 7 month hiatus, but I think I’m ready to get back on the tarapfeifer.com train! Softball season begins tonight, the Brewers are winning, there’s still crazy people to talk about in this world, and it’s almost summer in Milwaukee.

Welcome back readers… I’ve missed you!
