I hate starting a guy on my fantasy team against the Brewers, but it has to be done in this case.

[3and2Fastball]

Good to see Braun back in the lineup, especially vs a LHP. And it'll be interesting to see what Conrad can do....

[igor67]

Allow me to grumble that my local Fox station had listed last week that they would be showing the Brewers Giants game today. I even upgraded to a new TV to enjoy one of the few times I'd get to see them and then they swapped it out with the Tigers Game instead.

MLB Extra Innings is your friend

[Glennron]

I know it's only 43 PA's, but Theriot's numbers this year are flat out laughable. I wonder how many times Schroeder will refer to him as a "tough out."

[Schlitz001]

For those interested, and I always am.

It sucks that we still have to listen to Schroeder, but lose BA for this game. Too bad BA works for TBS.

[Funketown]

Looks like it's Ueck for me today. I really hate MLB blackout rules.

Schroeder is such a homer for the Brewers, it'll be interesting to hear him attempt to be objective for this telecast.

[craigharmann]

How sad for Matty V. to be paired up with McCarver. That's bad. There ain't no overcoming that.

[Schlitz001]

If the Giants fans boo Braun, does that make them hypocrites or just baseball fans.

Too bad we couldn't get a Matty V. and Schroeder reunion.

Both

[brettac1]

Rock's taking this thing national.

[adambr2]

After hearing the Giants fans react to Braun both in spring training and now, I can't imagine that there is a bigger bunch of hypocrites in professional sports than San Francisco Giant fans. You're really going to cheer on Bonds to the very end like he was some kind of hero but then you're going to act like Braun is the devil?

[RightFieldCoder]

Maybe they see it as revenge for the amount of boos Barry received when he played in Milwaukee?

[hurricanecrush]

I don't see the issue. We wouldn't have booed Bonds either if he had played for the Brewers.

 

And how is that a hit? It was a routine grounder.

[tstads20]

Since when has it become so hard for 1B umpires to make close calls? Man alive.

[endaround]

They really think people in the Eau Claire area are just dying for that Tigers game?

[Schlitz001]

Oh crap.

[Funketown]

Oh dear...

[Funketown]

Listening on radio, how bad does it look?

[brettac1]

This season is starting to look like a slow-motion trainwreck.

[Moose]

Not Gonzales now too!
