I would just like to voice my frustration that tonight's game won't be on FSN North. Sellout crowd, Eveland making his first start of the year after dominating AAA for a month, and coming off a pretty cool victory last night. I would have really liked to have seen this game.

 

It'll be interesting to see what Eveland has for us tonight. He wasn't very impressive when he was called up last year. He also wasn't very good in spring training. So his spectacular start in AAA has sort of caught me off guard and I'm really interested to see how he does tonight especially in front of a huge crowd. By the way, Dana is still only 22 years old.

Frustration is not enough, I'm pissed. Why would there be no television on a Saturday night game which also coinsides with a bobblehead giveaway--a certain sellout? It's just stupid and unfair. They badly need a new deal with Fox and they need to put games back on free TV.

 

Venting over: I look forward to a seeing the ROY contest begin, Fielder vs. Eveland.

Now THAT is optimism. I tip my cap to edod.

 

C'mon Brewers, make the Turnbow bobblehead a *secondary* good memory of the night.

[jloos19]

I'm sick of laying eggs on soldout crowds (minus opening day, which we seem to win). It was a great win last night, and I surprisingly feel very confident with Eveland on the mound.

[bullox]

I wonder if the blackout rule will be lifted for MLB.tv since it won't be available on local TV?

[brewerjamie15]

Oof. Talk about a black cloud hanging over the team. A rookie pitcher making his debut against us, and a huge crowd. We're dust.

Tonight would be a great time to change the pattern though....

 

Have fun at the game Laura and all else. Apparently those of us going bobble-less for the evening gotta listen to the game on the radio which, is ot a bad thing.

[undertow67]

Carlos Lee is 1-6 with a double and Damian Miller is 1-2 with a single against Jeremi Gonzalez. No other Brewer has ever faced Gonzalez.

 

Tough assignment for Eveland making his first career start against the Mets. It's fortunate he's not going up against the Met's ace like Hendrickson had to with the Padres. Sure would be nice to see the Bats continue to heat up tonight.

Nope. They don't work that way.

[Tailgat0r76]

I think it'll be very important for our bats to score some runs in the first two innings. If eveland has a little bit of a lead, I think I have confidence in him http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif

When is it not very important to score runs?

[badgerfan.tgf]

On a good note, the Cubs blew a 3-1 lead in the ninth and lost 4-3.

[chowyo123]

Game is on MLB Extra Innings for those with the package.

Unfortunately that doesn't help those of us in the Milwaukee area. FSN is a joke.

[undertow67]

Bill Hall is in the line-up at SS tonite, again. This is the 3rd time this week Hardy's been out of the line-up. Yost must be giving him a few days off to hopefully get him going like he did early last season.

Ueck just said that general parking is full. I've never heard of that happening before. Have any of you?

[gobrew23]

I was just about to post that. He said people would have to find alternate parking. That's incredible. I wonder if this will be the largest crowd in Miller Park history.

[cirillo26]

I'd really like to be watching this game on TV since (obviously) I'm not there.

 

I don't think general parking has ever been full even on an opening day. And there are plenty of people that just go to the home openers just to tailgate.

[gobrew23]

Yeah, I really wish I was there. My brother got very lucky. His boss had tickets for Suite 10 right behind home plate, but was not able to go so he gave them to my brother on Wednesday.

[jloos19]

Ok, if anyone is watching MLB.TV, how freaking anyone are those kids in the background?

[undertow67]

Nice 1st inning for Eveland. Good to see him get ahead of hitters with strike one. Now get him some runs.

Very. They won't last the whole game though. On a side note, where are their parents? They seem to be sitting alone.

 

Good first inning for Eveland. He looks in much better physical shape.

[KyBrewer]

What nobody wants to go in chat with me? I dont' stink, I just showered!

[Sheets4theHOF]

Second time the brewer hitters face gonzalez he's gonna get rocked. Not impressed with his stuff at all.
