What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Feb. 28, 2008 at 12:21 p.m.

It's cold. We've got more snow is in the forecast. Winter will hang around for several more weeks.

Here is a warming thought: the Brewers play today.

Oakland will visit Maryvale Baseball Park this afternoon in the Cactus League opener in Phoenix, where the temperature is 75 degrees.

The first pitch is at 2 p.m. and Brewers TV announcers Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder will call the action in a Webcast available at brewers.com.

The Brewers' media relations department was nice enough to send us the starting lineups:

Oakland Athletics (0-0)
RF Travis Buck
2B Mark Ellis
1B Daric Barton
LF Emil Brown
DH Dan Johnson
SS Bobby Crosby
3B Jack Hannahan
CF Chris Denorfia
C Justin Knoedler
SP Joe Blanton (not batting)

Milwaukee Brewers (0-0)
2B Rickie Weeks
CF Mike Cameron
1B Prince Fielder
LF Ryan Braun
RF Corey Hart
3B Bill Hall
SS J.J. Hardy
DH Gabe Gross
C Jason Kendall
SP Claudio Vargas (not batting)
