Brian

how long till this guy is a Yankee or Red Sox?

:lol: the announcer is interviewing these guys dressed like he just came from a jog

yeah that's craziness, 2 men on to start the 13th inning and later

Fun Fact: the Nippon Ham Fighters are my favorite sports team I've never seen do anything. yeah hopefully these announcer will say F it and start taking shots during commercial breaks, they've got to know about 58 people are watching this.

thought it would be me talking to myself!

Yeah i'm up and yeah I'm watching this (what? I've got nothing better to do). Excited to get a look at Darvish.

"Bottom line is, I'm as serious as a heart attack about baseball and winning. My last goal in life, my bucket list, is winning a World Series, and that's it. I don't care about personal accolades, fame. I don't need any of that. Money is great because my family is taken care of, but the only thing that's going to make me happy is winning."

yeah I wish we could go back and switch which LF we signed that offseason

Yeah, I agree but I think they are assuming he's going to get fatter and crappier as the contract gets fatter with it being backloaded. But yeah at the moment I think he's more than justified the dollars.

Hoff grounds out Fox line drive base hit Andres Blanco flies out to right Barney grounds out to 3rd. 6-4 end of the 6th. I'm out.

6-4 ... i think some guy whose name I'm not going to try to spell just struck out, 2 outs Fox snags a liner at first, for the 3rd out. I think i'm out after the Cubs bat here.

a walk Trot Nixon now batting, and he strikes out base hit for Mike Lamb (?)

sounded like early spring training precaution. I'm not sure when the tightness was, he was pulled for a PR and came back and took another ab so who knows.

Mike Stanton pitching home run by Rivera

Gathright scores on a shallow sac fly hit by Robnett "impressive burst of speed" Bobby Scales just made the 3rd out somehow, end of 5.

RBI base hit by Miles

The Brewers have made a lot of changes and here's Ron to get you up to speed. - Pat Thank you Pat... and I have no idea. - Ron Barney lines outs, 1 out Wellington Castillo walks Gathright with hit #3

Sac fly for Braun, 2 outs 4-3 Cameron pops out, mid of the 5th inning

base hit, possibly lost in the sun by Hoff... also possibly wind aided fly out to RF, runner to 3rd
