    Bump to say the 2011 schedule has been released, you can see it here. The Brewers actually open on Thursday, March 31 in Cincinnati then have an off day on Friday. The home opener is on April 4 against the Braves. As speculated, the interleague schedule is home against Tampa, at Boston and the Yankees, and the usual home-and-home with the Twins. With the opener being on a Thursday, I'll just have to make it a five day weekend so I can watch it on TV and then go to the home opener the following Monday. Only five games are scheduled for the 31st, everyone else opens on the 1st.

    Is anyone else really disappointed with the giveaways lately? For the past couple of seasons, it seems like the Brewers have gone away from traditional giveaways, and more towards coupon giveaways. The past couple of seasons, it was usually just the occasional oil change or Sports Authority coupon. This season they seem to have taken it to another level. Other than the six bobblehead days, traditional giveaways have been few and far between. I have tickets to tomorrow night's game, and we get a coupon for a free jewerly or gemstone tune up. Yay? This season I've also gotten a coupon for a mattress or appliances. Friday night's game has a coupon giveaway for a home generator. Whatever happened to cap day or blanket day? When I go to a game, I want stuff with a Brewer logo on it, not a coupon I'm never going to use.

    Cain and Dickerson doing all they can to push Gomez further down the food chain. I really like our OF situation for next year with those two along with Braun and Hart.

    What is up with the picture? This looks like a WMLW game. FSN's production values have been horrible this season.

    Yankees reportedly trying to get Kerry Wood, why not see if they'll take Hoffman?

    This is the '90s weekend, so the Brewers will be in their German unis tonight. For the '70s and '80s games, the Phillies and Mariners wore their throwbacks too, so will the Nationals bust out the Expos unis tonight?
  7. Vgmastr
    Man, Braun is lucky he didn't break his wrist.

    I think it's funny that Molitor is playing in the Legends and Celebrities game wearing a Brewer cap, thus he's on the National League team, even though he never played in the National League during his career.

    OK, so my hatred of Pujols goes down to 99% percent after he just gave props to Corey in his interview.

    I think it rotates by division every season. So, 2008 we got the east, 2009 the Central, 2010 the West. Now, as for which of the 3 teams we play, I'm not sure how that is decided. I'm surprised Milwaukee gets the Red Sox and the Yankees and the Rays, though. Really sucks to play 9 games vs the best 3 teams in baseball, when our division rivals will play the Orioles and the Jays. Those are the breaks though. Last time we played the East we got the Jays and Orioles at home and went 5-1 in those games. What hurts our variety of opponents is the fact that the NL has two more teams, so while each AL team gets six interleague series, most NL teams only get five. Also, our home and home with the Twins, not all teams have an interleague rivalry. In fact, I think the Brewers/Twins is the only one where the two teams aren't in the same state. That said, how they pick the teams and locations in strange. Like Invader said, we haven't played the A's since '02, and with Tampa visiting next year, Oakland is the only team left that has never played at Miller Park. We've gotten the Angels three times in interleague, but the last time they've been to Milwaukee was '02. The Mariners came to Milwaukee in '04 and '10, but the Brewers have never played a game at Safeco. In fact, with the Brewers going to the new Yankee Stadium next year, Safeco will be the only current stadium the Brewers have never played in.

    Reports are starting to leak on the 2011 schedule, and since 2010 doesn't look promising, might as well look to next year, right? This report from ESPN Boston says that instead of having a Sunday night opener followed by Opening Day on Monday, MLB is going to have a Thursday night opener followed by Opening Day on Friday. The only problem I see with this is not being able to have the built in off day the following day in case of a postponement. I wonder if this'll mean only warm weather teams and teams with roofs will open at home. That said, it'll be nicer taking a vacation day on a Friday instead of a Monday. Also, at the bottom of this report from Adam McCalvy, he mentions that Melvin has seen the schedule and the Brewers travel to New York and Boston for interleague series, while Tampa will make their first ever trip to Milwaukee. We have the home and home with the Twins as always. A bit strange that we go back to Fenway, as we just visited Boston in '08, while Boston hasn't been to Milwaukee since '02. This'll be the Brewers first time playing the Yankees at New York since the AL days, while the Yankees were in Milwaukee in '05. The Brewers also went to Tampa in '05, and the Rays have never played in Milwaukee. The Boston article says the Brewers will be in Boston June 17-19, which is a weekend series.

    One thing I haven't seen mentioned, I saw Brian Shouse pitch three perfect innings to get a save in a blowout in Minnesota. A LOOGY getting a three inning save has to be pretty rare. Also in that game, Johnny Estrada actually threw out a baserunner trying to steal, which was rare in itself.
  13. Vgmastr
    Let's see, back-to-back errors that cost us a boatload of runs yesterday. Today, pops up with the bases loaded and no one out, then a walk to lead off the inning and gets picked off before Bush can bunt him over. Escobar is really irritating me.
  14. Vgmastr
    Wasn't Escobar's defense supposed to be his strong suit? Just pathetic.

    Reds/Phillies already over on MLB Network. MLB Tonight is on, so there will probably be a lot of updates and cut-ins, just an FYI.

    Man, the look on Figgins's face on the strike 3 call was hilarious. I do think he had a beef, though, that looked high.
  17. Vgmastr
    So since Weeks was thrown out at second, that's technically a single, which means he's a triple away from the cycle, correct?
  18. Vgmastr
    This is Fister's first start off of the DL. He's going to be on a pitch count of around 85. Hopefully the Brewers can get his pitch count up early, get him out of the game, and get into that thin Mariners bullpen.

    Jack Z is sitting right next to the Doorman.
  20. Vgmastr
    So Brian and Bill both completely misunderstood that text question.
  21. Vgmastr
    Pujols has swing over the top of every single slider Manny has thrown in the dirt. Why not keep throwing it?
  22. Vgmastr
    So I'm noticing that ESPN is keeping the pitch count for each pitcher by flashing "PITCH #" in the score box on each pitch. It's actually a really nice feature, how long have they been doing it? I don't remember them doing it on either of the Brewers' first two Sunday night games, but I could have just been not paying attention.
  23. Vgmastr
    Why am I getting some stupid Best Damn Sports Show special on FSN? I hate these WMLW games.
  24. Vgmastr
    0-3 at home this season, but 1-0 on the road. I have tickets to seven more games, not even really looking forward to them.
  25. Vgmastr
    Manny for the Gold Glove!
