Stepping back from the ledge after Day 1 of Brewers season

There were a lot of things to digest from the first Brewers game of the season Thursday. It's safe to say though, the one that sticks around the most was the sick-to-your-stomach feeling left after closer John Axford allowed four runs in the bottom of the ninth to let what looked like a sure win, slip away.
Initially, yes, I was upset and disappointed. Yes, Axford has had a rough spring and this outing only adds to the chaos that has been his month of March. I am a little concerned, but following how he handles himself, I'm confident he can work out of it and get back on track.
What I don't understand are the people who automatically jumped off the proverbial bridge calling Axford washed up and putting him in the same sentence as Derek Turnbow. It's one game people. Yes, he got some pitches up and gave up a big home run (how odd does a shot to right field look to a right-handed hitter?), but this is 1/162 of the season. It's hardly the end of the world.
Now, it sounds like I'm being a tad hypocritical, but think about it for a second. Yes, I was encouraged by what Yovani Gallardo was able to do on the mound in his six solid innings. The top five spots in the order all got hits for the Brewers (while only Wil Nieves got a hit for the rest of the order). Rickie Weeks had a home run (as the first Brewer to lead off the season with a homer) and a double. Ryan Braun was on base four times and was absolutely crushing the baseball. All of that is great. But I'm also not thinking they are all amazing.
Axford will tell you he has room to improve. Heck, so will Kameron Loe, who gave up a homer himself, and so would Casey McGehee, who was part of a wild play that kept the game alive for the Reds in the ninth. But, those guys have earned a few chances and I'm confident their overall body of work for this season will be very solid and this will have just been a bump in the road.
Don't get me wrong, getting this win would have been great for the Brewers psyche. After going 3-11 against the Reds last season, the Brewers desperately need to turn things around against the team that won the NL Central last season and has plans of doing it again this season. Going into their stadium on Opening Day and playing as convincingly as they did for 8 and a half innings would have had to send a bit of a message to the Reds.
Baseball isn't like football where you can live and die with every game. This one will have to be nearly forgotten and put in the rearview mirror for the Brewers. The best part of it all is, there's a game Saturday and Sunday, giving them a chance to put it behind them and move on. That's what makes this game great.
Please, put your jump to conclusion mats away people!!!


With Opening Day upon, that has to mean Wrestlemania is very close, too. In fact, it's Sunday. It's one of those things you have to take in every year and appreaciate the entertainment that is WWE. It's so good. This year, Shawn Michaels is getting inducted into the Hall of Fame. I have to think he is going to have a hand in keeping the Undertaker undefeated at Wrestlemania. Here's more of the brainchild of Vince McMahon in photos from the good folks at Sports Illustrated.

Time to jump right into the Nussie Hunter portion of today's post. I was checking out Coed Magainze today and came across a Nussie I probably should have known sooner. Her name is Rali Ivanova. She's a Twitter star, judging by the amazing TwitPics she posts. So much so, the good folks at Coed posted a TwitPic gallery of hers. Damn! Here's a sample and you can check out the rest, here. Oh, and don't forget to check her out on Twitter. I just followed her!

Fan dos and don'ts with Opening Day around the corner

Opening Day in Major League Baseball is now mere hours away and fans all across the country are amped up for the day. The whole experience of Opening Day is an event in itself and brings out fans to the ballpark who may not normally attend the game, or do so on this day in a different fashion than what they are used to.
On the heels of the Wilber's Way Brewers and MLB season preview yesterday, that has led me to put together some dos and don'ts for Opening Day. It's a day that seems like Amateur Hour with random fools passed out in their seats or in the parking lot before the game starts.

DO
1. Do attend a tailgate and do partake in grilling sausages and drinking adult beverages (only if you are of age, of course).
2. Do get in before first pitch if time permits. It's your first time back at the stadium in at least six months. Miller Park has a new scoreboard and is worth the time to take it in and get used to it. Take in your surroundings and get settled. Plus, both teams are fully introduced on Opening Day. It's a great time to give an extra hand and make noise for your team.
3. Do say hi to your Beerman. If you have season tickets, you likely see the same people around you all season and they will most likely be back this season. Say hi, make a purchase and don't forget to tip.
4. Do buy a media guide. It's a nerd bible, and the Opening Day edition is something that chronicles who was on the team to start the season.
5. Do stay for all nine innings. You haven't seen the team play in close to six months so why not hang around with your friends and take in all of the action. Who knows, you could witness something special.

DON'T
1.Don't drink yourself stupid before game time. Baseball is what brought you out, don't forget to enjoy that, too!
2. Don't "lose your cookies" inside the stadium. It is a sacred place and you ruin the party for not just you, but those around you. This goes with No. 1.
3. Not use your ticket. Every year I hear of fans who spend the entire game in the parking lot, drinking. You paid for that ticket into the great place that is Miller Park, don't waste your money!
4. Don't leave your seat to return to the tailgate if the game is closer than four runs before the eighth inning. I know Opening Day is a party, but don't make it seem like the tailgate is the real place to be and the Cathedral is not.
5. Start or take part in the wave. It seems like the drunkest guy is the one always starting the wave. This isn't a Badger football game, it is no place for the wave. This rule applies for ALL games after Opening Day, too.

The Brewers are in Cinncy and should play Thursday if the weather man is right. I'm hoping to get home and have a recap of Game 1 of 162.

Not sure if you saw this yet, but it's the latest YouTube sensation. Pretty sure these twins are having a conversation only they can understand. Gotta love it. So good.


Now for the Nussie Hunter portion of the program. Had to pour over a few things to find this one, as to not keep harping like Ron on the same few Nussies. Coed Magainze was good enough to bring us Katelynn Ansari. I'm pretty sure she's not related to Aziz, but she might be a tad more memorable. Take a look for yourself below and check out more of her, here.

The unofficial official 2011 Brewers season preview

The bags are packed and the the trucks and players are headed north. Yes boys and girls, Spring Training is finally over. Doesn't it seem to drag on at times? Yes, and I'm not even a player. Maybe it was all the injuries that plagued the Brewers through the spring,but they could not get out of Maryvale fast enough and get things started and working towards Thursday's opener with the Reds.
Good news has started to come from Brewers camp just as they were preparing to leave for Cinncy. Pitcher Shaun Marcum was sharp in his final tune-up of the spring and will start Saturday. Catcher Jonathan Lucroy has been cleared to play and will spend a few more days in Arizona to get some time in before making stops at Single-A and Double-A before joining the big-league team after a week to 10 days. Both Corey Hart and Zack Greinke are also on the positive path and shouldn't miss more than a couple weeks of the regular season.
With that, the Brewers should be able to put the injuries behind them and focus on the task at hand that is the NL Central Division race.
Outside of the injuries, the key offensively will likely be to get production out of the bottom four batters in the order. It might end up being a sad state of affairs when the pitchers hit better than Yuniesky Betancourt and Carlos Gomez. Gomez has shown signs of turning things around and had a very solid spring. With his speed, he just needs to get his on-base percentage over .300 and between .310 and .330. It's not asking a lot. Of course, GM Doug Melvin went out and got himself an insurance policy when he traded for Nyjer Morgan on Saturday. If things go south for Gomez, expect a platoon in center field. But don't look for that to come right away. Gomez's play in the spring has earned him another chance to fail. They want him to show why he was included in the Johann Santana deal with the Mets and Twins and take that step and I don't blame them. The Morgan deal also gives the team a left-handed hitter, too. Which, if the change is made in center, could set the table for the batting order to get shuffled. But we'll cross that bridge when it gets here, because at the moment, that spot belongs to Rickie Weeks and rightfully so.
With the starting rotation needs addressed and seemingly one of the strengths as one of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's top-three rotations in the NL, the focus now turns to the bullpen. Yes, John Axford was great last year. As was Kameron Loe and Zach Braddock. But do it again, please. Those guys are all young and it seems Braddock has taken a step back in the spring and was not effective. Takashi Saito is a solid back-up plan to Ax, but he's 41 years old. With the starting rotation addressed, these guys can't let leads go by the wayside or there will be a drastic overhaul like there was last year two months into the season.
The main question mark on this team has to be defense. Seemingly every baseball publication has had nothing but terrible things to say about them. It may be the Achilles heel to the Brewers during the season, but the hope is the better pitching gives them fewer chances than last year's staff did, allowing the most balls to go into play in the NL. It's an easy conclusion to make if that is what you're arguing. If you have 10,000 chances to blow something, as opposed to 5,000 (just an example) there is a bigger chance for error. Quite possibly the biggest question mark of them all is Betancourt, who has had ups and downs all spring and is a downright liability in the field at times when he gets lazy with his throws. Like I wrote early in the spring, no one is asking him to be great and lead the team. They just want him to minimize the errors in the field and be patient at the plate and just be a solid player.


So what does all this mean for the Brewers? In reading around different publications, many have the Brewers winning near 85 games. That may seem low, but if you think about it, the NL Central could be one of the best divisions in baseball, which means they might take on a few more losses than if they would in another division.
With the Wainright injury, I don't see the Cardinals being at the top and the Cubs have too many questions to be right there. That makes this really a race between the Brewers and Reds. The Reds seem to have almost every question answered to start the season. Last season, the Brewers could not find a way to beat them, obviously something they need to do if they want to back up the expectations with a run at the top of the standings.
Here are my postseason picks:
NL Central: Reds
NL East: Phillies
NL West: Rockies (Write it down!)
Wild Card: Brewers with a record of 88-74
NLCS: Phillies over Brewers

AL Central: White Sox
AL East: Red Sox
AL West: Angels
Wild Card: Yankees
ALCS: Red Sox over Yankees

World Series: Phillies over Red Sox

I'll let you digest those picks and get right into the Nussie Hunter portion of today's show. This Sucker Punch movie looks like a great action movie and it stars from pretty hot chicks. One of them that might surprise you is Vanessa Hudgens. Yes, she's out of the High School Musical. As the photo below shows... Be sure to check out more at Complex Magainze.

Brewers with more questions than answers as season nears

What many fans are taking away from Milwaukee Brewers Spring Training in Maryvale Baseball Park can be summed up in one word. Injuries.
Time will tell if they will foil the 2011 regular season, but it will certainly leave a cloud over the beginning of the season and it will be up to the players still healthy to keep it from derailing the entire season.
The NL Central crown the Brewers were expected to compete for at the start of spring cannot be won in April, but it sure could be lost if injuries put the team in a hole like the nine-game losing streak did early last season. It was a skid that could not be overcome the rest of the campaign.
After seeing Manager Ron Roenicke's comments in today's Journal-Sentinel Brewers Blog, it appears Shaun Marcum should be OK and will make his start on March 26, lining him up to be the No. 2 starter and pitch April 1 in Cinncy. As for Zack Greinke, he is still slated to miss at least two starts. The race to fill his spot is still up in the air, but it's looking like the team will be without him for the first three weeks or so.
Before Spring Training, it was believed the Brewers had one of the top pitching staffs in the NL. While you don't need perfection in spring Chris Narveson and Randy Wolf have given few signs of encouragement in their appearances. And with Greinke and Marcum battling injuires, that leaves just Yovani Gallardo as the lone starter who does not have questions circling him. He has been impressive and shown what has been expected of him to this point. The question isn't if the other four will turn it around and bring it together during the season, but how long it will take to come together and pitch well. And do all of that at the same time to piece win streaks together. It could take through April before all five get their bearings and the hope is they don't dig the team a hole they can't get out of.
On the offensive side, things seem to be coming together with the position players that have been injured. Jonathan Lucroy had the pin taken out of his right pinky today. I don't feel as worried about him behind the plate, but rather in the batter's box with that right hand. The more at-bats he can get and get that pinky around a bat, the better he will be. That same philosophy goes for Corey Hart, who is still not playing in games after his side injury. In the same Brewers Blog post mentioned above, Roenicke said he is just being cautious in the spring. He's doing the same with Ryan Braun and I'm OK with that. I'm not as worried about hitters as I am about pitchers who need the time to stretch out their arm  so they can go deep into games. Things sound more positive on their return and early-season contribution than the pitchers, which is good to hear.
As for the bullpen, Manny Parra is battling injuries of his own. As is LaTroy Hawkins, who has been less than stellar thus far in spring. John Axford is down to his final four songs in his entrance song poll, but hasn't performed that well, either. it is almost to the point where the bullpen is the biggest concern with the team, even with the injuries to the starting rotation. All the way down the list, Zack Braddock, Kameron Loe and Takashi Saito have all had their moments this spring, but have been few and far between. It's hard to get too up or down in spring, but you'd like to see something to get excited about.
All of that sounds rather negative, but it shouldn't be anything that buries the team too severely. I actually see them hanging around .500 through April. The schedule is brutal to start the year and without their two biggest offseason acquisitions, it could be tough sledding to start the season. With injuries at the start of the season, the margin for error the rest of the season is likely slim if they want to be in contention in the NL Central. 

I saw this on TV the other day and hadn't heard much on it. Ryan Braun is in the new Muscle Milk commercial. It's kind of funny. But worth a look since he's the only Brewers player out in ads at this point.


It's time to get into the Nussie Hunter portion of the broadcast. The Hometown Hotties contest is in full swing over on Maxim.com and there is one lone semifinalist from the fine state of Wisconsin. Meet Christina from Green Bay. You need to go vote for her, here. And check her out below.

Can Carlos Gomez keep this up into season for Brewers?

Just a couple of weeks ago in this space I talked about areas that were weaknesses for this Brewers team and one of the glaring ones was Carlos Gomez. The center fielder lost his starting job last year because of his performance in the batter's box, but with the trade of Lorenzo Cain to Kansas City, Gomez has earned another chance. As I said last night in this space, I don't get too worked up over spring training, but can get encouraged by what I see.
History will show that Casey McGehee was a long shot to make the 2009 roster as a non-roster invitee to camp, but hit his way onto the team that spring and became the starter at third base within a couple months. The rest is history.
Go-Go has an equal task of proving he is the right man to start in center field for the Brewers. Neither myself or the team have much concern about his ability to play in the field. He came into camp knowing he had to work on his approach at the plate and to this point, he has.
In playing in 10 games, in which he has 33 ABs, he has 12 hits, good enough for a .364 average. (Full spring stats are here) Again, I'm not getting too excited over this, but it shows his work with hitting coach Dale Svuem have helped him considerably. It is a small sample, but he has yet to take a walk and the one area he has to improve most is in his on-base percentage.  He has a career .296 OBP so it's an area he has to work on. Roenicke has said not to expect big changes from him, but if there is a move in a positive direction, it could be sign of things to come if he continues to work on it.
He told Tom Haudricourt of the Journal-Sentinel he has been working on keeping his head straight when he swings. What you watch for is how that will continue if he hits a cold spell during the season and has to hit himself out of it. That's when he would have to push the most to get out of it. If he can stay true to what he has been working on and work himself out of those ups and downs during the season, he would be better for it and would become the player the team wants him to be.
If he doesn't, well the search would be on and he'd be one of the guys to get moved into a platoon in center field. At this point, it's worth another shot for Gomez and if he can hit .270 and have a .330 OBP the Brewers and fans would be thrilled. It's not an unreasonable leap to doubt that he can do it, but in four seasons in the Majors, he hasn't shown that he can just yet.

Switching gears to a little pop culture now. The Fighter was one of the best movies I've seen in a couple years. I was just happy it was a sports movie too. There is talk today Mark Wahlberg is working the idea around Hollywood about "The Fighter 2" continuing the story of Micky Ward onto his three epic battles with Artoro Gatti. He wouldn't break them up into separate movies, but do just one more movie with all three fights in there. After watching the video below, I'd say it has the makings to be something special, at least in the fight scenes.


Onto the Nussie Hunter portion of today's broadcast. I'm sure if you've paid any attention to the rags you've heard of Justene Jaro. Well, here sister Dawn is equally as amazing. Take a look at the sample below, then follow it up with a few better looks at DJ Mick.

Race to fill Brewers fifth starter post is clear as mud

Sorry for being away over the last week or so. I don't get too worked up over Spring Training over positive things or negative showings, especially with guys that have been in the league for a bit. I suggest you do the same.
With the word last week that Zack Greinke was going to miss his first three starts of the regular season with that cracked rib, speculation then turned to who will man the No. 5 starter role with everyone else sliding up in the rotation for the first two weeks of the season? Today, that question got answered... Sort of.
We know the first of those three starts will not go to Mark Rogers. The reason? His injury set him behind most of the other pitchers who are starters and he is only able to go one inning while everyone else in the running is up to a full five innings at this point.
So who's left? Glad you asked. There are a couple familiar names and one we'll all have to learn. The man that now seems to be the front runner to be picked by Ron Roenicke is Wily Peralta, as Brewers.com's Adam McCalvy reports. Peralta's Spring stats are nothing to get real excited about, but he's a right-hander and has pitched the most innings and could be the most ready when the season starts in 15 days.
The candidate known by the team and fans is Marco Rivera. Of course, it's hard to forget his "questionable" injury he suffered last season before the Brewers tried sending him back down to Nashville. His stats last year weren't much to desire, but he was serviceable and did deliver some solid innings. In relief, he wasn't that great there.
Fellow rookie Eulogio De La Cruz is the third arm in the mix and he is probably on the outside right now because, as his stats show, he is not Major League material just yet.
These guys will not be asked to go nine innings. The bullpen will be on call after the third inning when the winner of this battle starts a game, so no need to put too much into how good these guys will do going deep into a game. Plus, guys like Manny Parra and Kameron Loe add long-relief options in the pen that could bridge the gap to the back end of the pen to close those games.
That said, to me, it seems it's between Peralta and Rivera at the moment to earn the job. Of course one may get the first one and the other may be the second and will be sent back down to Nashville following their game. That will bring a fresh arm back to the bullpen. I'm not decided on either guy and will have to take another week to let this thing sort itself out.


It's tourney time and while I have only completed one bracket, but have a few more I need to finish. Yes, it's a fun time of year when the girl who knows nothing about sports, but likes the Bullfrogs to beat the Blue Demons because she likes frogs and wins $300 in your pool.
Heard about the Wall Street Journal's blind NCAA tourney pick 'em. It's pretty cool. Be sure to check it out, here.

Roenicke makes Brewers starting rotation official

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke made the least shocking of official news today, naming Yovani Gallardo as the Opening Day starter on March 31 against the Reds. It was a move that made the most sense after Zack Greinke went down with cracked ribs and will miss 2-4 more weeks of the spring and also what would have been his first three starts of the regular season.
As Adam McCalvy quoted Roenicke on Brewers.com, the team didn't lose ITS ace, it lost one of its aces and Gallardo is worthy and willing to step in. Things could also work out where Gallardo also starts Opening Day at Miller Park on April 4. But, at the moment that is looking like that start will go to Chris Narveson, who was tabbed to be the No. 5 starter before the injury.
As I wrote back in January on Examiner.com, splitting up the lefties would help keep the opposition off balance and would also split up Greinke and Gallardo. The move to have Gallardo start Opening Day at Miller Park would set that up down the road when Greinke returns and also break up Randy Wolf and Narveson.
As Roenicke told Tom Haudricourt this morning, the Brewers are not too concerned about splitting Wolf and Narveson up as many would think because "they are not the same prototype pitcher." That makes sense. Either way, the team will have to decide on who fills in as the No. 5 starter then on April 5 or 6 against the Braves with a rotation of Gallardo, Shaun Marcum, Wolf, Narveson.
There is a chance Gallardo will start April 4 at Miller Park on regular rest, but judging by what Roenicke told reporters he thinks Narveson is up for the home opener, it would seem unlikely he would budge from that stance unless something changes and Narveson isn't ready. The guy won 12 games last year and this would be a be shot of confidence for him to pitch on a big stage.
Right now that is looking like it is a battle between Mark Rogers, Willy Peralta and Amaury Rivas. All have question marks, but would just be spot starters.
There are some already hoping Rogers pitches well and then forces the Brewers hand to keep him in the rotation. The truth on that matter is, as was noted this morning by fellow Brewers blogger Big Rygg at Brewers Nation, Rogers has Minor League options and would no doubt be sent down in favor of releasing Manny Parra or Narveson regardless of how well he pitches.
SHADOW OF DOUBT
Of course, with all of this shuffling going on and things not setting up exactly how Brewers fans and everyone around MLB pictured the start of the season, comparisons are already being drawn to the 2010 Seattle Mariners, who traded for Cliff Lee before last season began.
Lee suffered an injury in March and missed time at the start of the regular season, too. That makes Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal put some of the pieces together and say the Brewers could be set up for a failure. Rosenthal touches all the bases in his story though and says there is a big difference in the Brewers in that they kept their offense in tact while making big pitching acquisitions. The Mariners certainly did not and could not hit at all last year. Obviously the Brewers are not perfect, but I'm feeling pretty good about the starting rotation once Greinke returns, and the offense. If the bottom of the order can pull their weight and the bullpen can hold up their end of the donkey, that would just leave the defense as an are that needs to perform. All three are concerns from Rosenthal and rightly so. It's one of those things we'll have to watch develop over the course of the season.

Moving on to some viral goodness today. Not sure if you've seen Blake Griffin in a video as Mars Blackmon. Yes, this Mars. (Yes, I love these and just wanted a reason to post it.)

This video for Griffin is him toting USC tight end Jordan Cameron who is in the NFL Draft. It's actually pretty funny and was put together by the people at SI.com. It must not make anyone worried like a non hoops player playing ball like it does for us Brewers fans as Cameron dunks ball after ball. I guess he's not playing against anyone, so it's OK.



Ash Wednesday was yesterday. It is the start of Lent and a very big religious time of year. That in itself isn't very funny. But when my man Pee Wee Herman comes by the Conan Show, hilarity ensues. His entrance is great on its own. Haha.


Now to the Nussie Hunter portion of today's broadcast. I was looking for another newcomer and came across Australian Siobhan Perekh on Gunaxin. She was a 2005 FHM model search and even became a playable character in a video game. Let it be known, though, she wasn't wearing this in the game. Check out more photos here.

Greinke injury adds salt on Brewers injury news

I was actually planning on writing something today on how injuries have been the only news coming out of Brewers Spring Training in Maryvale when I was in my car and heard Zack Greinke would miss 2-4 more weeks with a fractured rib.
That news, first broke by the Journal-Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt, adds a bit of insult to injury, literally. I know it's still early and the odds all five starters would make it through the entire season without a minor DL stint from any of them would not happen, but to start the season with all this drama, puts the team behind the eight ball so to speak.
Maybe it's the fact Greinke was hurt playing in a pickup basketball game and it has me a bit miffed about the whole ordeal. There's nothing wrong with a guy playing other sports and basketball is a good one to work on endurance. But how he described his games and someone telling him he was going to get hurt, is not a good sign.
As Jaymes Langrehr wrote over on his The Brewers Bar blog, this isn't something to get too worked up over. I see what he's saying. He's not missing the season or an extended period of time. That could be true if this doesn't linger around. The team and the training staff knew of the injury and let him play with it. His control in his two spring starts were far from Greinke's norm. We at least have that in hindsight. But he cannot rush back and has to heed the advice from the doctors at all turns to tread lightly. For the first time in his career he is playing on a team with extremely high expectations. He has made it clear he is a firey competitor and wants to be a part of things. But those expectations are nothing without him. At least, they're not as high without him. He is the Ace of Spades so to speak and will lead the staff when he gets healthy.
As I said, I was planning on writing an injury post today before this news came out and the biggest news after Greinke is Corey Hart. He can't even turn when fielding balls in the outfield, so it's time to keep him shut down for a while. I'm not worried about him so much as Greinke. Yes, he needs at bats, but he doesn't need extended time to build himself up to get his timing down at the plate. He can get 10 at-bats in a day on the Minor League side of the Spring Training complex in Maryvale and be fine. He is still on track to start Opening Day in Cincy.
With Mark Rogers, one of the likely candidates to make fill-in appearances in Greinke's absence at the start of the season also shut down with an injury, the pieces are already falling out of place for the Brewers. At this point they are nothing too serious and can be overcome before the season starts, it's just hard to build back up and get ready once the season starts. Games are every day and this team will be in a race throughout the season, unable to afford throwing a few games by the wayside while multiple stars are healing. That's how seasons get lost.
Am I worried yet? No. I am concerned. News other than that of injuries is welcome. There is some I'm seeing, but the biggest has been the injuries. Hopefully things will start to work themselves out over the next three and a half weeks.

Going to shift some gears here. Remember a couple weeks back when The Rock made his return to a WWE ring? Well, it was Stone Cold's turn this week. The Rattlesnake makes his entrance around 8:30 if you don't want to watch this whole thing.


Now onto our Nussie Hunter portion of tonight's broadcast. Aubrey O'Day premiered her new reality show on the WE Network Monday night. She wasn't the main attraction, however. That honor went to the Krupa sisters. I'm sure you've heard of Joanna. She was a Juggy dancer on the Man Show back in the day and has made a couple appearances in Playboy. Her sister is equally as exquisite. As you can see below, they stole the show. There's more where that came from, here.
