Dagnabbit, I had no idea this was an afternoon game. Now it's 0-2. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Does anyone know if this game is airing in Wisconsin on DISH Network? My mom emailed me to ask where her Brewer game is and I do not know what to tell her.

[jwill535]

Dish dropped FSNW and others like it due to fee disputes

Nice job by Tim Welke calling a 3-2 ball a strike.

[logan82]

Two things I would require of all new stadiums. A roof of some sort and an outfield where the fans cannot reach into play and interfere with balls in play.

[trwi7]

These umpires are absolutely horrendous.

[BrewCrewForever]

How the hell do they say that was a HR? Fire all these jokers.

[stalton]

Wow, that lack of an overturned call is ridiculous....IMO, an out isnt guaranteed, but theres no way thats a HR

[crewcrazy]

Yeah, I learned the hard way last night that Dish is in the middle of a dispute with Fox Sports, and dropped them as of midnight on September 30. Stinks that I have to miss the last few games of the season, but hopefully it gets ironed out in the offseason. Apparently, if nothing gets done by November 1, Dish may also drop FOX altogether, which would mean no Packer games for Dish subscribers.

 

There's a website out there (obviously sponsored by Fox) that allows Dish customers to voice their displeasure, if anyone's interested: http://getwhatipaidfor.com/

Thanks for the DISH info. Not being a subscriber myself, I was unaware of the change.

 

Anyone else speculating/hoping that Todd Coffey has made his last appearance for the Brewers? Under many circumstances, I'd think that was the question of an impatient fan - but since it's my question and I'm still paying attention on October 2, I think my point is valid.

 

Also, I'm grimly satisfied that the Reds are advancing since they are neither STL nor CHC, but I will definitely savor some Schadenfreude if Franci$co blows a save opportunity in the playoffs.

Shoot...I just assumed a 5:05pm start...dang it. Now I'll have to find a zombie movie to rent tonight.

Isn't there plenty of football on? Yeah, I said that out loud...then I typed it. Not even in blue.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Terrible. Just terrible. That HR call was the story.....so mad at that call.....

[hawing]

Wafer-thin silver lining: with the Cubs' 8-3 win over Houston Saturday night, the Brewers clinch 3rd place in the NL Central...and the stage is set for Sunday's epic "battle for 4th" at Minute Maid Park.

 

/setting watch to see how long it takes the media to spin this into an "upper half of the division" finish/

[logan82]

Not necessarily a good thing. It dropped our pick in next year's draft several places.

[brewmann04]

i totally agree Logan a higher draft pick now is more important than any win right now
