Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I was disappointed, that's for sure. I have a Wes Helms autographed picture on the top of my TV for trubite, though. I also have an autographed ball with his and Butch's autos on it - possibly my prized possession.

Very Excited to watch the Crew this Year

Let get off to a fast start

 

Go Crew

[Pointer1VB]

Wait, there's a baseball game today?

[PrestigeWorldwide]

As I left work last Friday I looked at my Brewers calendar and realized that when I got in Monday morning I would be flipping it from March to April, on Opening Day no less. So I get in this morning, take one last look at the photo of J.J. Hardy for March, flip the page to April, and discover that the player pictured for this month is ....... Chris Magruder?!?!?! Nice choice.

 

Even that can't temper my enthusiasm for Opening Day. Go Brewers!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

Good Luck Brewer's. I will be listening via MLB.com and sipping some Miller products out here in sunny Arizona.

[bthurley19]

anyone know what time the pre-game radio stuff starts?

[kalle8]

the italian one man brew crew is ready.

[bthurley19]

Listening to Brewers Fever, Turning up the heat, and The Brewers 2005 Highlight reel is reallying is a great way to prepare for the game.

[bthurley19]

Just found this article on JSOnline. Talk about inspiring. This is why I love baseball.

I just noticed that the Pirates are starting 3 of the most notorious "Brewer killers": Jack Wilson, Sean Casey, and Joe Randa. Maybe it just seems worst than it is with these guys, but they always seem to kill us.

[RyDogg66]

Those guys killed us when we had crappy teams. I dont think jack Wilson is gonna kill us this year. Despite what Pirate fans and Pirate management think of him, he's just a bad hitting SS.

 

I dont believe that Casey and Randa are going to continue to feast on Brewer pitchers simply because they are wearing Brewer uniforms.

 

Im getting pumped for the game.

[markwitx]

Happy opening day everyone. For those who have xm radio the game is on channel 186.

Yeah, hopefully no one gets BOOED this year.

I was not at the game...but would have booed if I was. The summer before I bought a Helms autographed game used bat for $150 at a charity auction. Now, mind you, I'm not the snobby type to usually go to those but was there for my brother-in-law...to me that was a lot of money. Needless to say, that bat is sitting in my basement gathering dust.

 

That's my first and last Wes Helms blast...

 

Go Crew...lets make 06 a memorable one.

[Oldcity]

Well let's see. Our ace is out. We can't lose too much ground with him gone. We finally open at home, so we need to set a tone for the season and for the fans. We face a formiddable opponent in Oliver Perez. I'd say this is the first must-win of the season.

I'd say this is the first must-win of the season.

 

Well played. Someone's in midseason form already.

[brewerjamie15]

I say that the Brat is the first sausage race winner.

 

JJ Hardy gets the first hit of the season

 

Jenks is the first to go yard

 

Clark with the first steal

 

Go Brewers! happy baseball 2006 everybody!

 

Turn on FSN right now. Brewers stuff galore!

[ELCABALLO45]

Is it just me, or did the off-season FLY BY? It seems like just last month we watched Zach Duke spoil the Brewers plans to be above .500. But anyways, i dunno what else to say...., im just EXCITED!! GO BREWERS!

[markwitx]

No, its you, it seems to me, like this day would never get here.

[hawing]

I'll be back at the computer as soon as the dryer guy brings our part. Till then I have to keep the phone line open.

 

And don't get on my back for not having DSL!

[brewerjamie15]

Normally I wouldn't do this, but with all the excitement around opening day, if you'd like to help out BF.Net and get some great seats in the process, click HERE

Thanks guys.

[Brian the Automator]

Whelp, I declared myself "working from home" this afternoon, so i'll be able to watch the game. GO BREWERS.

[DHonks]

okay brewerjamie, I'll join with some predictions. Brewers win 8-3 (Dbacks, my other team, win 11-4).

 

Clark reaches base on a solid single in the first, scoring on a JJ Hardy hit-and-run.

 

In the game, Lee, Weeks, and Hardy all homer. Jenks with a double.

 

Polish wins the race.

[homer]

You guys have inspired me. While I can't be at the game (working from home in Chicago), I went to the store and bought brats and kraut. I can at least pretend.
