A Brewers-Cubs series won’t quite be the same without the folks at Wrigley raining boos on Ryan Braun before he homers and rounds the bases while yelling “LET’S (funning) GO,” but it’s still Opening Day, and it’s still a Brewers-Cubs series.
Ten of the Brewers’ 60 games will be against Chicago’s NL team this year, adding extra importance to each meeting (although maybe not as much importance as before the league announced every first and second place team would make the playoffs, along with two wildcards).
The Cubs largely stayed quiet against this past offseason, adding only spare pieces (and Brewers castoffs) like Jeremy Jeffress and Hernan Perez on minor league deals.
