Cheesy topics (like the Cheese Curds thread) go here. Topics that aren't Packer related will be moved here as well.

Mmmm.... cheese.

Watching the BrewCrew and Cubs on TV tonight. Nice looking 50 year patch on the Brewers jersey this season. I vaguely remember Tommy Harper as the Brewers best player in 1970. The Bucks were the team to watch back then.

Then there were Harvey's Wallbangers. Glad the Brewers were able to stay in MKE this time.

Also glad that the Packers only play their home games in Green Bay now (for the past 25 years already).

GO PACKERS!!

Great comeback victory. That was fun.

Try living in Iowa, literally the blackhole of MLB games.

Brewers are always set to play on ESPN or MLB Network (YouTube TV), but they're always blacked out. I don't get it, if they're ON ESPN, and I pay for a service... and they're considered local... WHY can't I watch it.

Can't do MLB TV either, as they're blacked out there too.

So, how's a guy supposed to watch any baseball in Iowa? There's not a stadium in near 150-200miles. Cubs, Brewers, Cards, Royals, Twins, Sox.. all blackout. It's asinine.

The only way I know for certain I can watch, is go back to Direct TV and or Dish and pay $100ish package that gets those local games.

I just feel like I shouldn't need too if they're on ESPN.

MLB TV is so far behind the times. I'm ready to throw money at them every year and... yeah. :x

You sure about that? I always thought it was only $2-3 a month. And like, $15-20 for the whole year.

Could be wrong though, or they could have switched that since I stopped scribing.

Yes sir. $3 a month for radio.

That could be because of the shortened season though.

Hmm, thanks for the info - I was briefly looking into it for my dad this weekend and all I found was off the MLB page for $9.99

So now the Brewers home opener was postponed due to a COVID outbreak in the Cardinals locker room.

Honestly, I just don’t see how these pro-leagues are gonna continue with any sort of meaningful season if they keep starting/stopping/restarting the schedule. Hell, I’m already losing interest.

Wait until the NFL doesn't move forward with the season.

I know people like to keep an open mind, but there's going to be some individuals on here very, very disappointed.

It was nice to see baseball. I've completely checked out of the NBA this year. And, I don't find myself wanting to discuss Packers football as much lately due to what I believe is inevitable.

Hockey playoffs start today - and the bubble is seemingly working so I’m cautiously optimistic.

Blackhawks on in an hour!

What a &%$@ ending to that game last night. 4 unanswered runs.

The only highlight last night was how much control Burnes actually had on his pitches. It was nice to see after him struggling so much.

Sox are stacked.

Brewers starting to look like the Milwaukee Mariners.

White Sox lineup will only get better in the next 1-3 years.... their pitching depth has a lot to be desired though. Free agency will be huge and Kopech deciding to play next year. They will be fun to watch as a hitting team for awhile though!

They're going to be quite good it looks. Outside of two players, that batting order is all hitting above .300, while the Brewers cant buy a decent hit.
