Miller Park is my 2nd favorite park (behind the Cell, obv.) and it'll be awesome to see my 2 favorite teams playing in it. Can’t believe I missed this when planning 2009 road games.

For reasons unknown, MLB stupidly keeps scheduling the Sox to play the Pirates during interleague; I never for the life of me have understood why they did this with the Bucs and not the Brewers. At any rate, I'm glad they're meeting this year. Any excuse to go to Milwaukee is a good one in my book.

Like the Cubs, White Sox nation will make the trek here to Milwaukee in mass numbers. The Brewers are taking advantage of the large numbers of Sox fans that will open the wallets to make the trip north. I expect to see as many fans clad in black and white as I see adorn in red and blue for the Cub series. The same even happens albeit to a lesser extent when the Twins come to town.
