So much for it being on the MLBN for me. Checked earlier today and there it was on the guide. Now it says Padres at Angels. This takes the cake. No blackout this time. Apparently they just decided to show a different game after advertising the Brewer game earlier. I'm so sick of the crap!

[patrickgpe]

i agree, i didn't make plans tonight so i could sit and watch the game and now its not on. Guess i am going out after all

Do you live in Milwaujee? I thought maybe somehow I was getting the Angels game because I live in EC

[brewdreams]

First DirectTV now MLB Network....what's with the lack of respect for the Brew Crew...I rearranged my day around being able to watch this game.

[DHonks]

I'm really frustated. I love Vlads, but this sucks!

[EnglishCream]

It's not just Milwaukee, I'm getting the Angels game in South Carolina on DirecTV. Even after the guide this morning said Brewers-Dodgers.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I caught a little of the first inning and the Dodgers tv announcer doesn't know his facts. He said Braun had 82 RBI's last year along with 28 HR's (must have used the stats 2 years ago), but the worst was that he said Braun played a terrible 3rd base last year. Seriously? Come on.

How are you seeing the game on tv?

[ewizabeff]

maybe MLB Extra Innings?

 

On another note, why doesn't anyone use the chat room anymore?

[Electric Elf]

Yeah, they're showing the Angels in Minnesota too.

 

Who's broadcasting for the Dodgers? Vin Scully? He's getting a bit Ueckerish, unfortunately, but I think he's seen Braun play LF before....

[Schlitz001]

The game is on MLB.TV if you're out of the blackout area. I'm sure the chat room will be packed come the regular season, I'm only half paying attention to this game.

[GormanHarvey]

maybe MLB Extra Innings?

As far as I know this game is not on MLB E.I. Doesn't even show up on the guide. All the channels say upcoming for the respective teams regular season opener. Unless I'm missing something

Yeah, that anonymous Vin Scully guy...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

How are you seeing the game on tv?

 

I was watching via MLB.TV on the PC with my subscription. But they're not activating the new feature where you can synch up either radio feed with the TV broadcast until the regular season, so I bailed out on watching and now have Ueck and Corey on only.

 

On another note, why doesn't anyone use the chat room anymore?

 

It should be a rocking place starting Tuesday.

In the Major League forum there was a mention of the game being on mlb.tv for free tonight. I just went to mlb.tv and just get subscription information. Is there a way to see the game for free?

Thats what I was looking for too, but I haven't had any luck. I guess Gameday will have to do. I can't express how disappointing it is to be expecting to watch it on MLBN and then get stuck with the ol' Gamdeday. No offense to Gameday...

[ewizabeff]

finally realized that all brewers games are blacked out on mlb.tv if you're in the milwaukee area. I guess I'll have to resort to drinking tonight.

[DHonks]

I'm with everyone else. I went to check on the free demo of the game online, and saw it doesn't exist. Then I checked Extra Innings (I subscribe) and it's not there. Just an overall frustrating way to spend a Saturday night. Not that I had big plans or anything

[GormanHarvey]

LA is really making Coffey work this inning

That's a producer's screw up. The announcer almost certainly doesn't prepare his own research

[Schlitz001]

Sometimes I wonder who does compile Vin Scully's information......."And here's Bill Hall. Born in Mississippi, he now lives in Phoenix. His favorite food is Peanut Butter and he builds model trains in the off-season."

Seth McClung's gameday photo for 2009 is not very flattering.

[And That]

Seth McClung's gameday performance for 2009 is not very flattering.

[hawing]

Oh, now, he got a zero in the end (even if it took 15 balls and 15 strikes).

 

Edit: Prince looks uncommonly happy in his gameday photo, maybe like a guy who has a contract might look:

[Electric Elf]

McClung doesn't do official photographs well. Always looks like "bad day at the DMV."

 

Anyway, when did he start throwing a slider?
