Zip It: Schedule Crazy

March 25th, 2010 . By: Jay Brownlee

Pre-season always drives me crazy, but this one has been even tougher than usual for me. This team showed enough the last two months of last season to set up high expectations for 2010.

This isn’t your usual MMG game breakdown, instead I want to talk about the upcoming season, some of the Good and Bad as I see it. It’s been tough to get a handle on this team, with the inconsistent results it’s hard to know how this team will look. Yet results aren’t always the key to spring games. Frequently it’s about something else. So let’s look a bit deeper at some of the positives and negatives.
