    One of the hard things about failing to make the playoffs (if the collapse continues, obviously) is that the season is so long. Other leagues have similarly long seasons when it comes to time, but when you're clinging to hope each and every game out of the 162, it is mentally exhausting as a fan. Every game, day after day. The hopes get built up so much, the light is at the end of the tunnel, and then nothing. It would be hard to think about having to then go back to square one and watch the team win games, lose games, maybe build a lead, lose the lead, build the lead, etc., all over again. I feel different with football (I don't care about the NBA as much, and in the NCAA, you can still make the tourney with a "good" season) because, while each individual game means more, there are only 16 games to worry about. Plus, you don't have prolonged slumps by good teams in football, which is something that can make a baseball season that much more frustrating. Hopefully, we'll outplay the Phillies by 2 games the rest of the way and see what happens in the playoffs.

    I have a feeling plenty of people have DVR's, it's just that most are interpreting the initial question as "Which game will you watch live?"

    Already done, baby. Already done.

    Considering we have a "Bullpen, Melvin's Biggest Failure" thread, many people do know Riske has not been good. I'm wondering if he's still having some lingering arm issues. His numbers, while not earth shattering by any means, were serviceable before his stint on the DL, but have been terrible since. He was a good pitcher in the AL.

    Plus, the drop-off in game enjoyment from watching on TV to following the game on the radio/internet, is smaller for baseball, in my opinion.

    The nice thing about where we are in the standings is the pretty symmetry. 4 games back, 4 games ahead.

    I live in Atlanta and don't pay for baseball games on cable or the internet, so obviously I'm watching the Packers. BUT, if I was in Milwaukee and had the chance to watch both, I'd still be watching the Packers. Why? 1) First game of the season. 2) Vikings. 3) Aaron Rodgers. 4) The Brewers have played 143+ games. I can take a Brewers watching break for one night. 5) While these last three weeks are important, this game will not make or break the season for the Brewers. 6) I can still follow the Brewers on the interwebs or radio. 7) The Brewers have not been playing well lately, so to expand on point (4), I may NEED a one night break from baseball. If this was the final series of the season and the Brewers were still fighting for the playoffs, I'd watch the Brewers and record/listen to the Packers. Summary: there's nothing wrong with opting for the excitement of Packers opening night against an arch rival at the dawn of a new QB era over the 144th Brewers game against a bad team when a win or loss won't change the Brewers' playoff standing. I've been a Brewers fan longer than I've been a Packers fan, for what it's worth. It's pretty amazing to see a few "holier than thou" Brewers fans in this thread.

    Really? After less than one year of pro ball you're willing to say that? I'm not saying he's guaranteed to be anything in the majors, or even has a good shot of making the majors and I didn't like the pick when we made it but to give up on the guy without even a full year of pro ball under his belt is ridiculous.No kidding. I think we should give him more than 32 innings in the minors before tossing him to the curb.

    Hey! Escobar has an MLB.com picture! Congrats!

    The noobs will give us the lead this inning, then Gamel will get the save.

    I think Gamel should at least pitch today.
  13. dlk9s
    No, it won't.

    His fingers went numb when he hit it off the end of the bat. He's fine. Man, I hate it when that happens.
  15. dlk9s
    24 more outs to go.

    Unless we're actually behind Philly going into it, it's not a must win. It's a "must at least split."
  17. dlk9s
    I don't see us getting more than 20 hits tonight.

    Let's start with making sure he's healthy.

    Frankly, I blame this month on the minor leaguers that were called up. Hmm...doing great without them and slumping with them? Hmmm....

    I love the randomness and wrong-threadedness of this post. Breaks up the loathing here.

    The name "Falkenborg" sounds like it should belong to the captain of some spaceship.

    I went to the computer in the 8th to get work done and I haven't been able to do anything because of this game. I blame the Red Sox. If they would have re-signed Gagne, I'd be making money right now.
