What to watch, what to watch.... Wisconsin sports fans have a few options for our viewing pleasure tonight.
First. the Packers take on the Vikings in their first game of the season. Will the Aaron Rodgers era begin on a high note or will be left wishing we could have a QB that could lead us to a victory over the might Dolphins from Miami? Will the defense be able to stop Adrian Peterson? Which of these two teams will end the night at the team to beat in the NFC North? Only time will tell.
Secondly, the Brewers take on the Reds in the first game of a three game series at Miller Park. The pitching match-up is Dave Bush (9-10, 4.33 ERA, 38 BB/96 SO) against Edinson Volquez (16-5, 3.12 ERA, 77 BB/174 SO). Here's the line-up so far:
2B Ray Durham
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
CF ?????????
3B Craig Counsell
C Jason Kendall
RHP Dave Bush
I never thought I'd be happy to see Craig Counsell starting, but Bill Hall is that bad. I'm not sure about the whole mystery center fielder concept either, but as long as it's Kapler or Cameron, we'll get some production. If only Kapler, or Braun, could play third.
Go Brewers! And Packers!
clearly I should have checked here first
ReplyDeleteYes, you should have. Although I didn't list the game times so you would still be stuck watching football while you waited for the start of baseball.
ReplyDeleteI do think that it's always a good rule of thumb that you check here first though.
Not sure I liked the Sarah Palin comparison. That was a little weird.
ReplyDeleteOkay, a few miscues are to be expected, no?
ReplyDeleteGood god, what's with all the holding?
ReplyDeleteAdrian Peterson is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGod I hope that "Packers guy" McDonalds commercial isn't aired nationally.
ReplyDeleteIt's Cameron in center. Phillies tied at 2.
ReplyDeleteHELL YEAH! Nice catch Jennings!
ReplyDeleteTouchdown Rodgers. It was almost Favre-like.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how watching football makes it instantly feel like Fall.
ReplyDeleteDonald Driver is a warrior.
ReplyDeleteIs the line of scrimmage a different color this year?
ReplyDeleteNice. Brauny with a stolen base. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out.
ReplyDeleteBrewers up 1-0
ReplyDeleteInteresting. We haven't had a rushing QB in a while.
ReplyDeleteOne of these announcers really wants to fight me.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a good way to end the half.
ReplyDeleteReds tie it up. Hart's arm kind of sucks. I wonder if he can play third base?
ReplyDeleteJason F-ing Kendel clouts a 2-run dinger. WTF?
ReplyDeleteHey E, where did you go? You just leave one comment and never come back?
ReplyDeleteTD Packers! The leap needs a little work though.
ReplyDeleteYEAH BOY~~~~
ReplyDeleteI have company over bro, sorry
ReplyDeletesticking with Jackson is going to ruin all the potential of the Vikings line and excellent defensive front.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
Agreed. I have Jackson on one of my FF teams. I hope I never have to use him.
ReplyDeleteThe $50,000 to the MACC fund really is nice, and Gagne may well have done a lot for the community, but we gave him $10 Million and he sucks. He should give, like, almost all of it to worthy causes.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he could buy us a relief pitcher?
ReplyDeleteJJ HARDY!
ReplyDeletepretty sure CHildress was praying JSuck would run that ball
ReplyDeleteHELL YEAH!!!
ReplyDeletetoo many fucking flags to make this game enjoyable
ReplyDeleteC'mon Grant, get in the endzone for FF's sake.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the flags have been ridiculous. But 12 men on the field seems like one you gotta call.
ReplyDeleteTD A-Rodg!
ReplyDeletenice of the packers offensive line to call that time out. Jesus Christ
ReplyDeleteRoger's completion percentage is 81% right now.
ReplyDeleteAtari with the pick! But yeah, he should have just went down. Game over. Nice game Pack, despite the flags. Nice game Rodgers!
ReplyDeleteNot a goood start for Torres.
ReplyDeletecome on dude
ReplyDeleteGAHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteheyyy! It's football season!
ReplyDeleteAw Christ. We're going to let these scrubs beat us now?
ReplyDeleteAw Christ. We're going to let these scrubs beat us now?
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late. Compy trouble. The Packer game was awesome. Except for penalties, but that will get better when the line gets healthy. Too bad the Brewers just fucked up.
ReplyDeleteLet's rock this traitor.
ReplyDeleteI wish Torres had gotten shittier earlier so Melvin could have done something about it
ReplyDeletecraig counsell just hit. That shit just happened.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mike Lamb was on deck. Fuck the heck?
ReplyDeleteYost again laughing at the Milwaukee faithful
ReplyDeleteanyone watching this Raiders game? What the hell is with Golic? He sounds like the Raiders Ron Santo.
ReplyDeleteMike Golic = FOXNews+MSNBC...teh biaz!!
