4/6/07 Cubs (Hill) @ Brewers (Bush): 7:05 PM CDT

[wOOgiE22]

lcbj68c, look at the start of the IGT for today's game and they are there.

[wisconsinfan47]

I'm so pumped for this game, seeing as it's the first one I get to see this year. I've been in Boston the past week and could only get score updates via ESPN or word of mouth (I was actually touring Fenway during Sheeter's 2-hitter).

 

Light 'em up Offense and Shut 'em down Dave!

I don't know why, but I felt like adding some "picture karma" for the in game thread today. I decided a nice picture of a bush would fit very nicely.

 

Go Bush! Go Brewers!

 

Edit: Is there a way I can make it smaller?

[brewcrewnation]

Lets beat these bumbs. Let's show them the Brewers are for real this year. Let them come home 1-5.

[craigharmann]

I am so psyched for the game and for the series. Have to go to church first, but I'll be praying for lots of Brewers hits and none for the chubs. GO CREW!!!!!

Is uber-geeked actually a word. I wanted to skip yesterday and jump to tonights first pitch. Go Crew! Beat the sCrUBs!

I thought my level of enthusiasm for the Brewers last year was ridiculous. This season It's really off the charts. Can't everybody just feel it. I do, but I don't get my hopes up much.

[pitchleague]

I haven't said anything yet about Woogie's graphics. They are very nice. I like the color change for the retro gear. I'm assuming pictures will be updated once you acquire photos of players on their new teams?

 

Is Woogie a newer poster or is he/she a veteran of the board using a different user name perhaps? Not that it matters, just was wondering.

 

I got a good feeling about this one. Should be fun to watch. Although, I'm pretty big on Rich Hill, too. I think he can be a fine #3 starter with a decent 10+ year career.

[iluvlamp]

Funny thing about Hill last year he finished out last season pitching very well. I Paid so little attention to the Cubs toward the end of the season I only noticed that a while ago (like today). I know they have been prizing him to be their guy after Z. I just hope he pitches dismally tonight.

[wOOgiE22]

Yeah once I get the pictures of the players on the new teams that will be updated. Actually I have been around brewerfan.net for about 2 years now, but I haven't really posted that much in the past (I get too busy).

[SeriesFinale]

I thought that was a picture of ivy for a second!

Does anyone know if this game will be blocked out on WGN in the Madison area? My buddy only has basic cable and doesn't get fsn but I'm hoping we can watch it on WGN.

[tyguy20204]

I don't think it will be blacked out. I'm pretty sure I've watched Brewers vs. Cubs on WGN before, here in Madison. Even when it was on FSN.

[hawing]

I'm still very geeked about 2007.

 

I'll join that chorus. It took me a while to get to sleep Tuesday night after returning from our first 'real' game of the season. It was just so fun to be back at the park, even though Tuesday's game was not as dominating a performance as Monday's.

Cool, thats what I was hoping.

[saget]

I like the Braun tracker.

[iluvlamp]

Woogie, I thought I have chimed in but will again. Your setup is great. The Braun Tracker is a nice touch. Plus, 1 game for Braun and no error. Which of course means he HR's will suffer.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

according to charter cable the game is on both fsn and wgn in madison

[1992casey]

I can't be sure about this, but I believe you have to be very close to Milwaukee for a superstation broadcast to be blacked out. Within 35 miles, maybe?

[JET15]

MadisonBrewerBlue: Geez, the t-shirts are great. Isn't this the second one?

[BraunROY]

I'm kinda new here, but just wanted to say that I love the graphics on these things and I hate the cubs. Should be a good game tonight.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i cant take credit for the avatars. they are from a brewer fan from myspace. they get peoples attention

Yeah I'm in Lake Mills (~50 miles west of Milwaukee) and the game isn't blacked out, so its all good! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[bucksbeat]

WGN is blacked out for me in Milwaukee.

 

Anyone with DirecTV getting a black screen on FSN?

[Mad Hatter 610]

I'm glad that Estrada is starting tonight. This game is making me really uneasy. Both Bush and Hill were getting a lot of good pub this off season, and it's fitting that they face off against each other in there first outing of the year.

 

Boy I hope we win.
