I'm interested to hear the boos for Braun tonight. I expect Arizona to be the worst in the league for that.

I'm interested to hear the boos for Braun tonight. I expect Arizona to be the worst in the league for that.

 

They were pretty bad during Spring Training. Will be interesting to see how it is tonight especially if he plays well

[young guns]

I was expecting ransom to be in the lineup. A little disappointed he isnt

[tdeggie]

the sports talk radio guys in Phoenix were talking about booing Braun tonight. Its going to be loud and often. AZ feels that Braun practically beat them batting .500 over the course of 5 games and he tested positive before game 1 of the NLDS. I'll be there tomorrow night to see for myself.

[crewcrazy]

Diamondbacks fans will boo Braun because they think he cheated in the NLDS, but deify Luis Gonzalez and his totally not suspicious 57 HR for that 2001 World Series team. And it's not like they love admitted PED user Matt Williams there, either, or anything.

[MVP2110]

is this game not on tv tongiht?

[pretendastronaut]

is this game not on tv tongiht?

 

Yes, it is.

 

This road trip will be brutal for Braun. Diamondbacks and Dodgers back to back? I can't see him getting it as heavy for any other road trip this season.

[MVP2110]

what channel cause its not fsn here in green bay

[yfinn6]

I'm interested to hear the boos for Braun tonight. I expect Arizona to be the worst in the league for that.

 

I figure LA will be the worst since Braun beat out Kemp for MVP.

[Yeti73]

I have been out of the country since mid-May, so haven't watched in a long time. Not that I've missed much.

 

This is the game 5 rematch--the single best baseball game I've ever been to. Hopefully the boos don't get to braun. He's been our only good hitter vs Kennedy--1.449 OPS in 13 ABs.

 

FWIW this is tonight's free mlbtv game.

[MVP2110]

nevermind i found it. for some reason i thought the game started at 740 lol. And i agree wish Ransom and Aoki were in the lineup

[dlk9s]

True, but I'm putting my money (figuratively) on Arizona.

 

a) Star of the visiting team.

b) The PED thing.

c) Brewers beat them in the playoffs.

d) Braun demolished them in the playoffs.

e) The drug test in question was administered during that series.

f) Ongoing Homerun Derby rage.

[sdcheezhd]

I'm betting on LA too. I'll be there on Monday and am watching tonight so will try to judge.

 

No reaction for Morgan.

[yfinn6]

Not much reaction - from what I can tell.

[dlk9s]

Well, the booing was pretty weak, but when I saw the size of the crowd, I started to expect that.

[AZBrewCrew]

Lots of boos from the crowd...even though its a small crowd

[sdcheezhd]

AZ are you at the game?

[dlk9s]

Now that looked like the good, old Rickie!

[Gobias Industries]

Whiffy!

[burnzy24]

Ishikawa looked completely over-matched in that AB.

[Thhhza]

I just had a game against the Diamondbacks in MLB The Show. Rickie hit 3 home runs, incluiding a 2 run shot to tie it in the 9th and the go ahead in the 12th. Ended up winning in 20 inning! Hopefully a good omen :P

[Raw Biz]

Now the boos are gonna get a little bit louder.
