Scoreboard messages

[patrickgpe]

This is alll over this AM. 

if this is true, its very disappointing that the Brewers would allow it. I thought its just for groups, birthday and anniversaries, not telling a guy something you don't want to say to his face. Imagine the Pandora's box that is now open.  

[StearnsFTW]

Well at least the Brewers won one for Mark.

I thought it was pretty damn funny personally.

Well, yeah.

I should have been more clear though.  I thought the Yelich part was hilarious (the tweet I posted).

Maybe it is legit, but this feels like either someone trying to go viral or a guy’s buddies playing a practical joke on him.

[brooks_quichenick]

Yea this feels very fake. Who would pay what I'm sure is an exorbitant fee to put something like that on the scoreboard?

$100

Yea, I don't think anyone would pay $100 to really put something like that on the scoreboard for their "friend" to read. This is a fake viral ploy (that is clearly working).

my point is that the brewers should have not allowed it, not if its a viral fake play or not. You just can't put whatever you want on a license plate so you can go viral. Now get off my lawn.

Never forget...money talks...always.

That image alone has $500 worth of messages which probably took some seasonal worker making $15 an hour, 5 minutes to type in. Righteous bucks. 

[AKCheesehead]

If $100 is all it takes, I think it would be well worth that to get some kind of a Whoa Solvdd reference up on the scoreboard. 

[LouisEly]

Maybe it was a message to Mark A. about taking on more payroll.

Respectfully, I think you're overreacting. Unless you have intimate knowledge of the persons involved there's no way to know for certain the true context of the message. I can think of a handful of benign reasons someone would take the opportunity to put that up. I feel like it's much more likely to be a joke and the reactions to it are what was intended.

Even if it can be taken at face value nobody would know which guy there was the Mark it was aimed at.

I don’t have any knowledge at all. Maybe its just a joke, and thats fine. Still I thought this was to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, group outing, etc, not tell someone they don’t want to date them. If its open season on the scoreboard, the the Brewers opened up Pandora’s Box, and its anything goes.

I should have said, "Unless one has intimate knowledge..." I wasn't trying to imply you knew anything deeper than the rest of us.

Your point has merit but I think the reason birthday or anniversary messages are common is because not many people would even think to plan (much less pay for) a gotcha message that will appear for a few seconds at a live sports event. Birthdays and anniversaries are pretty much the default.

[patrickgpe]

I assume they went to the game together. That would be awkward and horrible for Mark. Probably why it’s rare that this would pop up. I’m sure the Brewers are loving the publicity. Also note that she never signed it. 
 

I put on Drew and KB at 3 on 97.3 to hear about the Packers cuts since that was the deadline and instead of discussing them, they interviewed the Twitter user that turned this viral to start the show.

Lighten up, Francis.

[SeaBass]

Yeah, this is one of those "9 out of 10 (insert demographic) agree" moments. Someone has to be the one outlier.

Someone should put up a message at the next game saying,:

"Looking for new friend that enjoys Brewers games, long walks on the beach and possible true love. - Mark"

Well played:

 

[jerichoholicninja]

Genius move by the Brewer's marketing and PR people to change the narrative from the disaster this season is turning into.

[Samurai Bucky]

When I was all but a young Samurai, we could use a five-digit number to call people in town.  The first number:  8.  So, the person who had 8-6753 was always getting calls when that song came out... and getting mad.  ?

[wallus]

Would have been funnier to have the number be the rejection hotline instead of Jenny

[pitchleague]

For me, this would be wasted money on me (not for the charity, obviously.)  I rarely, if ever, are looking at those messages on any scoreboard in any stadium because I'm almost always watching something going on down on the field.  Even between innings, those "contest" and other entertainment . . .  I just don't care about it.  It's really just one, big advertisement.  And I get enough of those at home.
