Sheets finally goes today after an extra day of rest and that should affect him positively. Brewers go up against Braden Looper who isn't really that good so our offense should click again. Let's see if Billy Hall gets out of his slump. GO BREWERS!

Jackie Robinson Day. All players on both teams will be wearing uniform number 42. Lets see how confused this makes Uecker.

[WEFFPIM]

Wasn't Looper a reliever like, last season?

[Thunder Muscle]

Wasn't Looper a reliever like, last season?

Yes. He was actually the Mets closer a few years back.

[Andrew34r]

I dont know why but Ned looks funny in the number 42 jersey.

[MickeyDavis]

Great start.

[Andrew34r]

Why were the Cardinals playing Prince so shallow?? Oh well we will take it!

[John6988]

Ok I dont know if all of you have the same announcers as MLB TV but this guy was talking about Estrada after he hit and said he has the potential to be a 300 hitter but hasnt done it in awhile...

If memory serves me correctly he hit 302 last year. I hate it when announcers talk, but dont know what they are talking about. Drives me nuts. If your not sure. Dont say anything about it.

[John6988]

OMG. You got to be kidding. What is going on here. Ben needs to really buckle down.

[MickeyDavis]

Oops, Graffy screws up, Albert goes deep, down 3-2.

[John6988]

Nice catch. Hart has got both LONG outs this inning.

[John6988]

oh my.. So close for Ben. That would have been so sweet.

[John6988]

wow.. if we lose it is simply because they keep robbing us of hits. this is crazy.

[livestrong4ever]

Come on Defense

[trwi7]

wow.. if we lose it is simply because they keep robbing us of hits. this is crazy.

And crappy defense from Graffanino.

Good thing Braun is in Nashville because of his defense.
