                              Darkeagle Reporting - 03/31/08


                              A very dark and gloomy beginning to the 2008 season for the Milwaukee Brewers began today with a dreadful 12-0 shutout loss to the Chicago Cubs. The Brewers had no offense and the pitching was borderline horrible. Newly hired GM John Shell was often seen yelling, and holding his head in between his lap as the trouncing continued. To add to the pain, the Cubs had 20 hits and 4 homeruns, 2 of them by Jim Edmonds.
