Man I'm just pumped for this game. If we win I will feel like the season is going to be a great one. If we lose I'll feel like we are doomed and it will be the worst thing ever!. I get way too excited about the first month's games!

 

Here's to Yo pitching a gem and our bats staying hot!

[PrinceEatMeat]

Here we go! This thread being up makes it reality! Pumped up!

[Dragonbait]

P.E.M.,

Couldn't agree more....

 

Go 'Crew

[chadomac]

I think this first month of the season will be the toughest. Hopefully we can hang around .500 and only succeed from there. A win to start would be great.

[PrinceEatMeat]

These are important games. I think the Reds will end up being our main competition for the division title, so every game against them matters.

[GoudaBrew]

Weeks red hot spring + awesome success vs. Volquez = Brewers win this one!

[rluzinski]

I think this first month of the season will be the toughest. Hopefully we can hang around .500 and only succeed from there. A win to start would be great.

I am thinking the same thing. I would be very happy with .500 but I don't think they project even that well for the first month.

Just a reminder that we also have the in-game chat available:

Why the hell are we starting Nieves?

Completely agree. If we can hang at the .500 mark with the injuries we have for the first month, I will be very happy. Winning this first series would be huge since the Reds will most likely be the team we have to jump to get into the playoffs. I think Wolf and Narvey are going to have a big April or at least step up if we want to be at or around .500 though. Obviously the bats won't stay as hot as they were for ST, but it would be nice to start the season with hot bats with so many injuries to start the year.

 

[RightFieldCoder]

Wow, the Reds have lit up Yo in his career.

 

And I love a lineup of Weeks, Out, Braun, Fielder, McGehee, Out, Out, Out, Gallardo. I think Gallardo should be batting 5th or 6th in today's lineup.

[ELCABALLO45]

OPENING DAY!!!

 

I would love a Weeks bomb to start the season off, is that to much to ask? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

And Kevin Greene has a message to the Brewers for the 2011 Season.

 

[TauPentaRei]

DANG!

 

that's a potent 1 thru 5. and I mean the Reds.

 

Should be a really fun season; can't believe it's here already.

 

 

Raising my glass to Yo and Zack pitching on 6 days rest each for games 1 and 2 of the NLDS at Miller Park.

[hawing]

This thread is a sight for sore eyes. Bring on 2011! Have fun and good luck, Brewers.

[Mudville9]

Why the hell are we starting Nieves?

While my opinion doesn't mean jack, I personally, prefer Nieves to Kottaras, although Kottaras played well during ST. Does this mean Nieves will stay when Lucroy comes back?

 

[thablingster]

Hooray, baseball! I'm looking forward to (as John Axford put it) the 2011 Brewers Domination Station. Start the season right with a big win. I'm at work, but will be taking in the sounds of Uecker and Provus very soon. Doesn't get much better than that, folks.

[trwi7]

I despise the new gameday.

 

Edit: I will say I like that you can watch highlights while the game is still going on instead of having to wait until the end of the game like last year. Other than that, they tried to make it too fancy (the stadium where the game is being played in the background) a big square for the pitcher vs batter matchup.

[AJAY]

Happy Opening Day everyone !!! It's great to have baseball back. Looking forward to a fun season.

 

Let's hope 2011 brings Brewer Nation a championship.

 

 

 

GO BREWERS !!!

The greatest day of the year. Let's start off on the right foot. I'm too excited to complain about the lineup or injuries. Play ball!

[ELCABALLO45]

This is not Brewer related but I guess Heyward likes opening day. He just homered in his first at bat again.

Where can I find the "probable pitchers" on the Brewers website?

Robin19[/b]]Wow, the Reds have lit up Yo in his career.

Was thinking the same thing. You really could make a legitimate case for Gallardo batting 6th in that lineup! Anyway, here we go!! Hopefully one of many wins starting today!

 

 

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

If this team is healthy and within 3-4 games of first at the All-Star break, I'll feel really good about their chances.

 

Baseball is always a blast when there is optimism about the season...whether founded or unfounded. I'm so jacked about this year...go get 'em Crew!!!
