03/12/06: Capuano (Brewers) vs. Maddux (Cubs) 2.05 CT on FSN

[razzzorsharp]

For the first time this year many of us will be able to finally watch the Brewers as they take on the Cubs. So far the Brewers have a 7-3 record while the Cubs started out hot but are now down to 5-4. Capuano's start got moved back to today with yesterday's rainout and he is throwing against Maddux and the Cubs. After the rainout how is the weather looking down there?

I looked at the weather report alittle whle ago and it look like light showers. Hopefully they'll get this one in.

[ThePurpleStorm]

Hopefully we'll get to see our young infield play together today. I've been looking forward to this one for a while and I want the opportunity to see Prince.

For those of you attending the Long Wong's event today for a chance at free opening day tickets, please let us know how the event was. Paul Wong throws a great gig, and you can count on something pretty cool when we have our monthly gatherings there for away games.

Also- for those of you attending, please do me a favor and tell Paul that you heard of today's event at his place right here at Brewerfan.net.

I'd appreciate it very much.

Lineups anywhere yet?

[germanking]

I am so pumped, i think i need a few more tv's going though. Between the Brewers, the Winston Cup race, and college hoops, my fingers might get tired of flipping through channels.

[litesrn]

TV coverage: for those of us out of state, will this telecast be available anywhere on DirecTV?

[BrewCrewForever]

Well I cant wait very excited for the first TV game of the year on FSN. Plus two WBC games on ESPN2.

[Anders34]

You guys think we will see the debut of the retro Sunday uniforms today? I bet they break them out today!

[BrewCrewForever]

Hey Anders34 you might be right, first game of the season on TV. They might break them out, but I know usually they only wear the batting practice jerseys during spring.

[JET15]

Bring it on! Granted, I wish I was there, but this is the next best thing. Of the WBC games, I don't see the USA's game on ESPN2... too much basketball

[pitchleague]

Ugh,

 

I log into mlb.com's gameday audio and at 12:45 AZ time, it's talk about Packers on TMJ!

 

Not what I want to hear. I know they don't start broadcasting for another 5 minutes, but I'd rather hear dead air. It's baseball season! Who cares about the Packers right now? I love the Pack just as much as the next guy but . . . .

[JET15]

Ohka's pitching... no Cappy

[jtkbondo]

Who is in the pen today? Has anyone seen a roster for this game?

[BMuch]

The catcher for the Cubs today is the grandson of one of my clients. Catching a future hall of famer is something to be proud of.

[ja002h]

Another botched anthem.

Lineups and more from jsonline:

I just added this in another thread, but people with DirecTV who don't live in the Wisconsin area, can view this game on channel 642.

[JET15]

Playing the Cubs with an arm tied behind our back... they get a DH, we have Ohka swinging the stick

[And That]

Is anyone else having problems accessing MLB.TV? I can't get it to load.

[parkside21]

This just in according to Bill Schroeder:

 

"Corey Koskie is a gamer"

 

By the way...what's the over/under on how many times we are reminded that he is Canadian?

[wOOgiE22]

Ohka gets roughed up in the first inning a little bit.

[ja002h]

Playing the Cubs with an arm tied behind our back... they get a DH, we have Ohka swinging the stick

 

Why is this?

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Ohka had 3 balls hit hard against him, although Jenkins should have caught that fly ball.

I'm really irritated by Greg Maddux's socks. They aren't stirrups, they are just socks with stripes on them. And they aren't even knock offs of stirrups the way they're supposed to look, they're knock offs of crappy 80's stirrups. And he only shows a couple inches of them, what is the point of that?
