Great, its Niese's ML debut. AWESOME.

 

Please win.

[wisconsinfan47]

It's a special day when a guy makes his major league debut...I almost feel bad for hoping he gets lit up.

[berniebrewer4life]

ML debut? Dang, looks like a loss tonight.

[JumpinMacFlash]

I'm going out on a limb and saying the Crew will actually light up Niese, despite the whole major league debut thing. He is a lefty after all.

[bullox]

The Mets have read the scouting report - feed the Brewers fresh meat and they will choke. Or maybe it just seems that way...

if we can win on the road, we can pound some kid making his debut, right??

[datrain711]

Tonight is my first time sitting in a luxury box at Miller Park. Can anyone tell me what i should expect for food/drink options?

 

I'm fine losing to Santana because he was pretty nasty yesterday with the changeup, but this is a game we should win. Hopefully our dominance against lefties shows up tonight!

[sheethead]

If history holds, the Crew should win 5-3 tonight, and 9-7 tomorrow.

It is up to whoever is putting in the food and drink order. There are a lot of yummy options, but my favorite is the chilled tenderloin dish. Hopefully they are also popping for the desert cart.

[sgtcluels]

datrain, which box are you in? Bunch of work people are going, I already have tickets though. But tomorrow I get to go to the QWest box.

i'm in box 33 tonight. I passed on going my other opportunity for the box this year because I had 4th row seats behind the dugout:) Hopefully we will both have fun and see a win

[RobDeer 45]

My heart sank when I saw this was the pitcher debut. Oh well, lets get him!

[bucks2281]

I've been thinking about this game all day. I fear that the Mets are going to destroy Manny. I just have a feeling http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Apparently you should not expect to drink any Miller High Life.

Have fun in Section La-Dee-Da, datrain. The only way I'm ever getting into one of those suites is if I stowaway on a food cart or something.

 

Should be a good game tonight. Isn't Niese a pretty highly-regarded prospect? Hopefully the Brewers can take advantage of the first-start jitters, or at least make him throw a lot of pitches early so they can get into that Mets bullpen.

[hawing]

Ah, Brewers, I'm just finishing up a very long and hectic workday. Please give me something happy to hang my hat on by day's end.

 

(They're probably done looking at the internets for the evening, but it can't hurt to ask, right?)

[jeffh]

It looks like are streak of sellouts ends tonight.

[tomwopat]

It looks like are streak of sellouts ends tonight.

 

there are people in the far reaches of the stadium, but none of the sections look that filled.

[jeffh]

The 4th deck is sold out because it is a amaco come on back night, but there are plenty of tickets down the first and third baseline in the first deck

[razzzorsharp]

The pregame conversation between Dillion and Maddux was gold Jerry, gold.

RICKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gobias Industries]

That a boy Rickie!

 

 

I'm listening to Ueck and Jim with Gameday up and running and somehow that's ahead of the radio. Weird.

[trwi7]

There's no way that second strike called to Hart was a strike.
