It's interesting to note, as Vin Scully would say, that the Cubs are using the DH and the Brewers are not.

[Jon]

Guzman will follow Maddux, I believe. The game is also on FSN/MLB.tv.

 

Thanks, Bruce. They must want Ohka to work on his hitting. And after looking at his stats, I don't blame them.

[otis89]

Yay! Ramirez is back in the lineup!

[JWCUB]

Yay! Ramirez is back in the lineup!

 

Thats awesome to see him back.

[TrueBlueCubFan]

Directv users who have the sports pack & have purchased MLB extra innings may be able to watch the game on channel 642.

[Vinestal]

If you have DishNetwork (and you may have to have the extra sports package) the game is on channel 445.

Anyone know if tommorow's game is televised?

[Vinestal]

Looks like tommorows game is suppose to be on CSN but for some reason Im blacked out and cant record it. Despite the fact I live in FL. You cant even get the MLB extra innings package yet, so I wonder why they blacked it out.

[Soul]

Channel 642 on DirecTV is the Wisconsin "alternate" Fox Sports channel where most of the Milwaukee-area sports are aired (main channel usually gets the Minnesota stuff). My guess is, if you have the sports package from DirecTV or if you live in the Wisconsin region you will get that game.

[Vinestal]

Well apparently I cannot watch the game today, Im blacked out of that one to. Makes no sense at all I live in Florida *sigh*. They wont even let me buy the MLB extra innings package until the last week of March and thier stupid computer system is down right now so they cant check to see if they can make it availible for me or not. Why would you black out programing that you can get no other way? man Im ticked. I guess Im not going to be able to get any of the spring training games till the last week of March.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pierre grounds out to third.

 

Hairston singles.

 

one on, one out.

[Vinestal]

at least the game is on XM so I can listen to it. Im still disgruntled about the blackout crap.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Walker K's. Two out.

That's strange. It might have something to do with ESPN2 picking up the USA/Japan WBC game this afternoon.

 

Welcome back, Rammy!

Mine renews automatically because I've had it for a long time. I could order the sports package to watch the game, but it doesn't get you the games once the season starts.
