Section 229 can't remember the row, skipping school and heading down with 7 buddies, debating about painting our chests

Puddy? AHHHHHHH were the Brewers! AHHHHH! I suggest, you DO paint your chest.

Hey, lets get a big win tomorrow! I like it when we can go in to the final game not worrying about getting 2 of 3 and looking for a sweep. Especially when its the opening series and it's against the cubs. Go TGJ, keep making things happen!

[brewcrewkid14]

After dealing with Cubs fans yesterday, I would love to see us seal the series tomorrow with a W just to see the look on their faces.

[Team Canada]

As always, Braun kills lefties so bad that I would be more surprised if he doesn't hit a HR tomorrow than if he does.

[ELCABALLO45]

Im getting pumped. So Kapler is playing right?

[trwi7]

I would very much approve of another Brewers win.

[Mike2k33]

12 hours til gametime. Is it weird that I'm more pumped for this game than Opening Day?

 

 

Kill the Cubs.

[ELCABALLO45]

Not really, I was really sleepy on opening day. But no its ok because I am PUMPED for this game.

[JohnBriggs12]

After securing a box seat ticket on ebay yesterday at roughly 1/3 of face, I'll be heading down to the dump they call Wrigley around noon.

 

Weather right now sunny and cool. No chance of rain it appears.

[RobDeer 45]

I just cant even wait for this game. How great does it feel to have baseball back? Can't even describe the joy I get from just seeing baseball highlights.

[fondybrewfan]

Only approximately 5 hours until game time. I am freakin out, I don't think the Brewers are good for my job performance. I get nothing done when I have gameday on in the adternoon and I get nothing done in the morning because I have to check all the latest news.

[brewersbucks2323]

Lets take the series today and deflate the Cubs fans as much as we can. Gameday is a beautiful thing!

[BrewCrewForever]

I second Braun going deep today. First lefty he faces this year and I smell crush.

[endaround]

I'm really hoping Kapler isn't betting 2nd. I really don't see the need to platoon Gwynn to begin with and I really don't see the need to take away more PAs from Hall, Hart and Hardy against lefties and give them to Kapler.

[JoeH33]

I'd really like see the Crew take this series today. Nothing like sending a bit of a message to start the season.

[GormanHarvey]

I'm probably wrong, but I'm not convinced that TGJ won't be in the lineup today. Anyone hungry for some good SOUP today?

[BrewerBrent]

Spoke just a few minutes too soon. According to JSOnline Kapler is getting the start and batting #2.

See - I said I was probably wrong. I just like watching Tony play CF. Can't wait to watch Cam out there!

What a difference a year can make. He wasn't even playing last year and now he's starting the second game of the season. Best of luck to Kapler!

Looks like we are bigger underdogs today then on monday....... Do you guys think the total score will be higher or lower the 9.5?

[Menotti80]

i think the field on mlb.coms gameday shows the direction of the field/stadium.

 

i dont bet, but if i would, i would take the over

[LUKE232323]

I would take over on the 9.5 without question.

[brewersbucks2323]

Hopefully Kapler has a really good showing. It would be great if both TGJ and Kapler can play a solid center field until Mr. Cameron takes the field against the Cubs for his first game.
