Elvis Andrus can't decide on the most exciting moment of his offseason. 

Rickie Weeks has heard time and time again about how he's slowed down in the field. 

During theMilwaukeeBrewers' season-opening series in San Francisco, first-year manager Ken Macha was little more than an interested spectator. 

Now comes the test for Carlos Villanueva. 

You didn't have to look at the lineup card to know Saturday night was going to be special for Mike Rivera. 

The Chicago Cubs may be without catcher Geovany Soto for their three-game series against theMilwaukeeBrewers. 

Manager Ken Macha said it's going to take some time to sort out roles in the bullpen, especially with closer Trevor Hoffman on the disabled list. 

--CF Mike Cameron was relieved to hear that San Francisco RHP Joe Martinez is expected to make a full recovery. 

Carlos Villanueva knew he wasn't going to be perfect as the interim closer in place of injured Trevor Hoffman (oblique strain). 

It was a weekend filled with worries for Lou Piniella, but things didn't seem so bad to the Chicago Cubs manager after Sunday night's 8-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. 

The Cincinnati Reds didn't have much success within the division or on the road in 2008, but the one exception to that was their play at Miller Park. 

If struggling Milwaukee Brewers starter Jeff Suppan was wondering how much worse things could possibly get after Alfonso Soriano smacked the first pitch of the game off the facade in center field, he got his answer all too soon: Much worse.
