Buck and Smoltz on the call. Rosenthal and Verducci field reporters.

Those Dodger bats and starting pitchers are scary. Hope the Brewers can at least take pitches and get the starters out early.

Anything beats what we dealt with in MLB Network. After a week of pre-game. I am ready to go! Lets go win this thing.

I comment on this all the time but it's great to have a sport where each playoff team has a legit shot at the title, unlike the NBA. We're the underdogs in this series and would be a bigger underdog in the WS but it's certainly possible to win it all.

I definitely have a different feel going into this series than 2011. That year you knew it was the last year of Prince and they were the favorite going into that series so there was way more desperation to get that one WS birth from that core. That team was supposed to be good.

This time it feels more like playing with house money and no one thought they would be here. I'm not implying that they will get back here soon because thats never a given but this run feels way more like the start of an era than the end. (Now get Stearns locked up for a long time).

Just wait until you hear Buck and Smoltz complain about how awful baseball is.

I hope we bullpen the **** out this game just to hear Smoltz lose his mind.

I actually think from a national perspective most nuetral baseball fans are rooting for the Brewers of the 4 teams left. Boston and LA obviously have huge followings but if you're not a fan of those teams then rooting for them is like rooting for the empire in star wars. Houston won last year so the fans without a horse in the race probably want a new storyline.

No real shockers on the roster. I personally would have gone broxton over grandy but not too big of a deal.

They chose the slightly more reliable bat over speed and defense. Hope it pays off.

This anticipation today is unbearable.

I'm already terrified of Gio burying our chances in game 1 right off the bat.
