Let's get ourselves stretched out here. You can't just start with a game thread on opening day and expect to be in baseball shape.

2B Rickie Weeks
CF Mike Cameron
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
3B Bill Hall
1B Brad Nelson

Lordz Of Vengeance....Sometimes I drink...Okay...I drink most of the time.

Of Course

This game is a must win.

mlbtv

The radio broadcast has a high pitch sound in the background... making it difficult to listen at work!

After the announcement of Favre, I think a Brewers win today is the only hope for me, I agree a must win!!!

Cameron

Steals third!

by drezdn on Mar 4, 2008 2:11 PM CST reply actions

Bases juiced...

And Nelson with two outs and takes four balls! Great eye!

by Kyguy922 on Mar 4, 2008 2:20 PM CST reply actions

careful

I'd suggest steering clear of the term "juiced" following the acquisition of Cameron, Gagne, Mota....

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 2:22 PM CST up reply actions

foo-koo-doh-may

In case anyone else was wondering how it's pronounced (according to BA, anyway)

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 2:23 PM CST reply actions

when the cubs fans realize they

payed too much for him, I can't wait to hear the chants in the outfield.

by brewfan2 on Mar 4, 2008 2:28 PM CST up reply actions

I like the pronunciation of the first name

with the intense emphasis on the last syllable

koooooooosKAY

by ol Pete on Mar 4, 2008 2:28 PM CST up reply actions

Oh no,

he's 'Fuk-u-dome!' Gotta keep it 'clean'.

by kgaul on Mar 4, 2008 10:35 PM CST up reply actions

HR- Fuk

No swearing no brew crew fans! Come on Vargas- it's 0-2...

by Kyguy922 on Mar 4, 2008 2:57 PM CST reply actions

yikes

foo-koo-doh-may homers to right, after a single in his first AB. Claudio's luck seems to be running out.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 2:58 PM CST reply actions

I like it

I think we should use the foo-koo-doh-may spelling all year. I bet the Cubs fans will get their panties wound up tight over it.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 2:58 PM CST reply actions

Well...

Claudio is in mid-season form...the third inning is about when he usually falls apart.

by Kyle Lobner on Mar 4, 2008 3:08 PM CST reply actions

Tony Gwynn Home Run

Not a typo.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 3:15 PM CST reply actions

Apparently

Yost's plan for Gwynn is working.

by drezdn on Mar 4, 2008 3:17 PM CST up reply actions

Pie lays down a bunt

Weeks barehands it, throws it over the cubs dugout.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 3:24 PM CST reply actions

or maybe not

Pie was at first. Took second on a wild pitch, though.

Oh, and Vargas gave up 5 hits and 3 runs in 3 innings.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 3:26 PM CST up reply actions

Ugly

Braun misses his first cutoff man, lets a man reach 2nd.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 3:28 PM CST reply actions

Cameron having a good day

Just hit a home run. Had a double in the first.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 3:32 PM CST reply actions

Cameron

Apparently hates the Cubs as much as anyone.

by drezdn on Mar 4, 2008 3:32 PM CST reply actions

Maybe its just me

but I find the fact that he hit 4 HRs against Hill in 4 consecutive at bats rather amazing - two games though. And they were 4 different pitches.

by ol Pete on Mar 4, 2008 3:38 PM CST up reply actions

Ahhhh....

I finally broke down and splurged for the mlb audio package. Man does it feel good to listen to live baseball again.

by MadJimiBrewha on Mar 4, 2008 3:45 PM CST reply actions

Schroeder is very impressed

by the use of words over four letters long.

And now he is impressed by the word "lore". Yeesh.

by DaleCoop14 on Mar 4, 2008 4:19 PM CST reply actions

Excitement

Which is more important to Bill Scroeder?

That JJ hits an RBI
That JJ does a nice job taking it the other way

I think you know. But when they both happen on the same play, that's even better than some Klement's brats from Piggly Wiggly on the grill.

McClung enters the game

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 4:26 PM CST reply actions

1-2-3 inning for McClung

Make him the closer.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 4:34 PM CST up reply actions

McClung

1-2-3 for McClung. Nice.

by drezdn on Mar 4, 2008 4:35 PM CST up reply actions

sweet!

i LOVE spring training.

by Jamie in LA on Mar 4, 2008 6:04 PM CST up reply actions

wow

According to Schroeder, Bob Brenly came up with Theriot's nickname, "The Riot." The Rock is already in regular season form.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 4:29 PM CST reply actions

Ha

There is no offseason for The Rock.

It's true

He points to random people on the street and says "He'll be off with the pitch."

lmao!

Uh oh

Joe Dillon with a throw into the dugout. That's going to do some damage to his legend.

by Marty McSuperFly on Mar 4, 2008 5:13 PM CST reply actions

I am loving Scroeder right now

He only wears on us because we are Brewer junkies, and because we have two of the best ever in Powell and Uek. Listen to other guys, Brian and Bill rock, silly catch phrases aside.

MLB extra innings

Does anyone know if MLB extra innings is offered for time warner cable this year? I know that it definitely is offered for direct tv, but wasn't sure if it would be on cable again this year?

If anyone knows about MLB extra innings for cable, do they also know the price?

by brewfan2 on Mar 4, 2008 9:34 PM CST reply actions

Time to dust it off

Forget Braun an Fielder, the real muscle on this team belongs to Gross and TG Jr.!

by The Prospector on Mar 4, 2008 10:46 PM CST up reply actions

love it

wave that flag

by ol Pete on Mar 4, 2008 11:21 PM CST up reply actions

question

Does anyone understand what happened in the TGjr at bat that went off the 2b and was fielded by the SS?
