No IGTs Tonight! (7.31.07)

[Brewcrewin07]

This team doesn't deserve our attention right now, and for their god awful play this last week, I propose no game thread on Tuesday. They don't deserve one, and frankly, we all could use two days off. We can start it back up on Wednesday or we can just keep "boycotting" the Brewers until they want to show us they are serious about winning baseball games again.

 

It might change their luck some. Heck at this point we have to try something.

 

Mods move this to whatever forum you feel is necessary.

[BrewCrewForever]

If others are for it I am. Gotta switch something up at this point.

[Bruce Ciskie]

I agree.

 

Everyone should do what I did and just take a day off. I feel so much better about this loss having not seen one pitch of it. Can't even begin to describe it.

As much of a diehard as I am, it's hard to do that, but I'm ready to avoid all road games the rest of the way and just check the score online later in the day.

 

It's not that I'm abandoning ship either, it's just killing me to watch these road efforts.

Didn't say it was easy. It wasn't.

 

It was necessary, and that trumped the difficulty of it.

We should get a concensus (sp?) vote on this. How does everyone feel? No IGT on Tuesday. Brian?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i like " outside of the box " thinking...i am all for it...though i disagree with the statement that the brewers dont deserve our attention. we as fans just need to change something up.

[BrewCrewForever]

It just seems right. Baseball is a superstitious game and when things are going right you change something. Here at this board I agree that not posting anything in the IGT on Tuesday is us doing our part.

[brewers19]

Sounds like a fine idea. Hell, I'm all for anything that will make my life easier, especially considering that Suppan is gonna be pitching.

[Oldcity]

I think this is a good call. I was just saying how I need a day off from the Brewers anyway (aside from tomorrow).

[BrewCrewForever]

especially considering that Suppan is gonna be pitching.

 

That makes me want to not post on Tuesday even more.

[jlau20]

Maybe instead we should do no one shaves until we having a winning road trip...but I don't want to be buried with a 10 foot long beard.

[TerraceReserved]

I'm all for it. I'm a big superstitious guy when it comes to baseball, and this is perfect.

[jlau20]

What happens if there is no in-game thread and they win?

 

No in-game threads until they lose or what?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

maybe the chat should be off limits tuesday also ?

[MoneyballMan]

I'm off to Houston for a few days anyhow, so I could go along with "no in-game thread". Instead of sitting in the hotel room online, maybe I'll do a filet and a few drinks at Vic & Anthony's (HIGHLY recommended, by the way, if you're ever in Houston).

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

in-game thread can start the second we win on tuesday night....positive thinker here...

 

after watching steam come out of princes ears in the ninth today, i feel pretty confident with a win on tuesday.

[brewers19]

Sure, I can disable the chat as well.

[theavrock]

I am getting pretty scared here. I was hoping to have a Brewer beard all the way into October. I was going to keep my beard until the Brewers were no longer in first place. Anything that will help me keep my beard I am totally down for.

[BrewCrewForever]

I think Prince will get at least 3 hits Tuesday. Maybe 4. I really think the no IGT is the best thing we can do.

[thablingster]

Of course this would happen to be the week I have tickets for two Brewers games including Tuesday http://www.redszone.com/forums/images/smilies/banghead.gif.

 

Since we're going to be at home we'll probably put up a decent homestand, but the first road game after we should consider doing this again if it works well Tuesday. Or maybe we should just go with the "think pink" theme for every road game.

[Brewcrewin07]

Has anyone else realized that this current Brewers slide has directly coincided with Woogie's adbsence??http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

I have tickets to 3 including Tuesday...at least I won one of the games. I tried to take the day off but pulled up on gametracker to see 5-0 in the 7th--sweet.

 

Do whatever it takes. I'm in for locking it. I'm in for a beard. I'll go pee my pants right now if you promise 5/6.

[shelmark]

I'm not voting either way on this idea, but I certainly do need a break at this point. It's been so long that we've had this chance that the emotions of losing these games is taxing. I'm going to boycott for my own health, nothing against the crew.

[whizkid]

How about those who need a break stay away and those who don't, don't. It would something akin to free choice, a novel concept.
