Mat Gamel's vicious meeting with Houston Astros catcher Jason Castro Tuesday night has been one of the most watched highlights of this young baseball season already, and that won't stop any time soon.

The people of Milwaukee have proven to be very engaged through social media, sharing their thoughts on everything from dining to concerts. Sports fans are no different, and the teams and athletes they root for have logged on, too, creating a connected sports environment.

The best way is to follow them on Twitter, but instead of searching all of them out - you can follow the Buck Wild blog @Bwild2010 - and in turn get all of the tweets from Corey Maggette, Brandon Jennings, Andrew Bogut, John Salmons, Larry Sanders, Luc Mbah a Moute, Darington Hobson, Tiny Gallon,...
