Listened to the win here at work. Gonna go home and watch it on DVR. I think they'll be 2-0 by the end of today!!!!

Adam, did you take a helicopter home from the game?

i was at a metrodome game where he broke up a johan santana no-no and shutout with a homer.

[Jimbo]

Only a 2:15 game? I wonder if the fans in attendance got their money's worth?

 

For the Brewer Killer thread: Brady Clark

 

I had to laugh at CBS's gamecast: "Temp 59 F. Pleasantly cool."

[1992casey]

Drat. DirecTV cut its feed just before what appears to be a nice program about Billy Hall.

[zachjack13]

YEAH!!!!!!! This is awesome!!! Great job Brewers!!! Let's keep this up!!!

[adamb100]

Haha no casey, didnt take a helicopter back. We arrived late so we parked in Mitchell Blvd Park. It was about a 2 mile walk from the stadium but we avoided traffic. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

haven't read everything just wanted to post my thoughts.

 

Got to listen only to the bottom of the 9th inning (saw most of the rest on gamecast) but I got chills hearing the crowd roar for the entire final AB. Can't wait to get down to Miller Park for my first game this season in mid-May.

 

Great to see Sheets interviewed on baseball tonight and for the Brewers to basically lead off an ESPN program. I wish Sheets would learn how to give an interview though http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Near perfect game today for the Brew Crew. If everyone is contributing on this offense and we get plays like we did from Hall and Hardy, this could be a special team.

 

I have to remind myself that it's just 1 out of 162. Go Brewers!

[tyguy20204]

Sheets didn't even have his curveball going all that well.

[augie46]

Sheets was an ace today. I was also impressed with the patience of our hitters today. We beat a sinkerballer! The times maybe changing.

[qrk10000]

This truly is a very, very good day. I sure missed the Brewers all winter.

[billyhallfan]

just got back from my first ever opening day, here are some thoughts:

 

1. it is 1 game out of a season

2. Bill Hall is still the man

3. Sheets may finally be healthy

4. People drink to much

5. The guy that wighed 350+ lbs. in the Terrace Level that was dancing around and blocking everyone's view of the game should have been tossed and it is a shame how "bandwagon" like fans were today. But it was opening day, so I guess I have to accept that.

[Charlie Bell Fan]

The game was awesome. Here's a couple pics I took.

Don't worry, BHF. It was opening day, you will see people like that. That's why I don't go to OD anymore.

 

Betcha that's the only game he attends this year.

[thablingster]

Apparently Jeff Suppan taught Ben Sheets how to be a winner. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif haha.

 

Great way to start the season! I am excited to get home and catch the game on my Tivo. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[PrinceFielder28]

There was a drunk guy who peed thru the rail down into section 101 and splattered a guy...needless to say the guy was irrate and got the guy and his annoying friends tossed.

[billyhallfan]

Jimbo it was sick...

 

Someone was complaining about it and then some drunk guy started yelling at the one who was complaining. The guy that was complaing was probably around 60 years old and he just wanted to enjoy the game, I wish I could have talked to him, he probably had some good stories to tell. Anyway the drunk was saying that if he was skinny no one would be complaining. Absolutly I would, if you know the Terrace resv. the little landings that people take pics on and call their freinds, ya this guy was blocking people from getting to their seats, he was blocking their views, it was awful. And the worst thing about it is that the Usher just looked at him and did nothing.

 

I was in 425, and this idiot was in probably 419-420, it was awful...

[AJAY]

HOLY SHEETS !!

 

 

Just got home from the game. . .

 

There is probably nothing I can say about the game that hasn't already been said. I'll just say that besides the awesome outcome on the field, the funniest thing was seeing a super-sized obese drunk guy take off his shirt and try to start the wave.

 

I wish a had a video camera.

[billyhallfan]

AJAY,

 

I hope you aren't serious, that was so imature it was not even funny. I went to watch the game, now I see why some board members like Hawing and Jimbo don't go to Opening Day...

[Mike2k33]

The last 5 or 6 posts are the reasons why 2003 was the first and only Opening Day I will ever go to. WAY too many drunks to enjoy the game and they all have 25 other drunk friends who think anything they do is awesome, no matter who it offends or disgusts.

[LaprilOne]

One of the best Brewers games in many a year. They just could not hit Sheets. Hardy looks like he wants to prove his worth. Jeff gets a clutch, and then their is Bill Hall (who did not pitch).

 

It was a thrilliing moment when Sheets got the standing O in his last at bat. You don't see that too often.

 

I cannot explain how, but one sensed different..."karma"...from this team. Just, well, different..

 

Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come.

Geoff's double should have been caught. He popped one that went to the track and now everyone thinks he was amazing. It was a good hit but if Gonzalez didn't lose it in the sun, that would have been caught and he would have had an 0fer.

[homer]

Opening Day is always amateur hour (like the bleachers at Wrigley). I went twice - probably will never go again unless I get really, really good seats.

[Ennder]

I read the dodgers forum and they aren't worried because after Sheets we don't have any starting pitching... I think they are in for a rather rude surprise.

[bacon06]

They should talk. Randy Wolf? How many All-Star games has he been to? The picther he's facing, Capuano, has at least gotten that.
