To the people that went...
It seemed this wasnt just your typical opening day drunken crowd thats into some of the game and just yelling pointless crap the whole time? The crowd was into the whole game and really actually seemed like Brewer fans, correct?

Well, if you describe a typical Millwaukee Fan as a drunken idiot who needs to be knocked out... Well, then you close

Wasn't as bad as last season's OD, but yeah, much more drunken fools than normal games. Was really confused when Brady Clark was cheered in the introductions, but booed when he was put into the game (especially when he roped that double in the 9th). Crowd went nuts with Billy Hall's catch and homer and Sheets' last AB (never before was a Brewer strikeout cheered so loudly). I was surprised at how coherent the crowd was for Opening Day. Great time.

1. I have had MLB.tv for three years now and it's pretty good. There were a few stretches today where the video wasn't smooth (I was on a T1 at work) but at least the audio was always good. It's typically pretty reliable and the quality is good. One problem is that there's a noticeable delay, so if you like following along with a boxscore it'll be a pitch or two ahead of the video.
2. I thought Anderson was only OK...it's not worth being really harsh given it's his first major league game or whatever, but I liked Sutton and didn't get the impression he'll be as good. I didn't get the impression he is particularly knowledgeable about baseball, nor did he seem like the kind of guy who can make the game more exciting. His homer call on Hall was pretty bland. He seemed very grateful for the opportunity, thanked Attanasio a couple times when they were on together.
3. I said earlier I didn't remember any tough plays in the outfield but from the recap I see that I missed Hall's great catch. I must have been doing work or something
So just wanted to make that correction.

I havent been at an opening day at Miller Park yet, but I back up the posters question about opening day. Back at County Stadium it seemed like the game was a very very very distant second to being drunk and belligerent and finding new inappropriate places to take a whiz. I agree though that from the broadcast todays crowd seemed very into the game.
I was one of the guys who really liked Sutton but I think that Anderson did a really great job today. Really cool on the pregame show on FSN to see Uecker sitting down with Vin Scully. Two of the best in the game.

I thought he was adequate - nothing more. He's forcing Rock to carry a bigger load right now and that is not necessarily good. Can only take so much of Schroeder.
I thought Anderson was very uncomfortable when Antanasio was in the booth. Some long stretches of dead air. Too much of the conversation that did take place revolved around Anderson getting the Brewer announcing job. Who cares? You've got the boss there. Talk about baseball and what he is willing to do to continue to improve the team.Thought it was a little uncool that Anderson said that part of the interview process for the job was a cavity search. Antanasio kind of gave him a WTF look.
Oh well, it was the regular season opener for him to.

Actually Anderson was quoting Rick Schlesinger, executive vice president of business operations, who made that somewhat questionable quote in yesterdays season preview in the Journal Sentinal when talking about the exhaustive search for a replacement for Sutton. It was uncomfortable listening to that interview, though, but in all fairness, Attanasio seems like a horrible interview. He's talking, then watching the game, then waiting for you to talk again. He has the attention span of a 5 year old every time he's in the booth.

Attanasio's interviews every opening day are awful. I agree about the situation being seemingly uncomfortable, they always are. It's especially terrible when he drags his family up there. A couple years ago he demanded a mic for his son on air, and when the kid got it, he didn't say anything even when given ample opening by Sutton.
Go Bucks!

Now maybe if you get Michael Jackson and Attanasio's son together in the booth............on second thought-scratch that.
