This ball was gone: http://www.brewerfan.net/images/other/homer.jpg As seem to be Ben's chance of breaking with the big league club in April.

That was cute..... the graphic said "Richie Weeks".

Whoa.... this national anthem is brutal.

NO 3TO in the lineup??

[ hardy, you should try actually READING the thread before posting. You're about 5 hours too late... ] I think he was simply quoting me. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

I pretty much have all of the merchandise types available that they offer. As far as those weird images go, i'm not sure... i'll have to email and ask what's up. If you click on the actual for sale items, the other pictures don't show up.

There's a Waffle House in Illinois.

Go Brewers! is on at 10:30 AM (at least in Milwaukee), and baseball on TV at 2:00. I'm in heaven.

Game available today on WGN! It's do or die time for Lil' Ben, as another bad start could send him to the Nashville rotation to start the year. From MassBrew: Those without WGN (me) or local radio can turn to MLB.com audio with a subsciption: mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/ml...d=20050319

Sutton's been _the man_ when it comes to plugs recently. I'm betting he's just buttering us up to get a free bumper sticker for his '93 colt.

Somebody must have killed the head vampire, Santos went through the first without a hitch.

[ Sorry for being nitpicky, but is there any reason not to have the subject be "Guide to Spring Training"? ] Yeah, this is supposed to be a thread to generate generic categories for ALL Brewers' cities (including Maryvale). After which, we'll put the actual data on a non-forum page for reference.

SenatorShriv has brought up the idea to create a "guide to spring training", which I think will be really useful. I'd like to see this expanded to Milwaukee and all of the minor league cities as well. First of all, i'd like to come up with categories of useful information that would could define for each city. I'll get the ball rolling, and then i'll edit this post to include the suggestions I'd like to go forward with. Getting the ball rolling: Best Burger Best local-type food Best ethnic food Bar/Tavern you must visit Most team-oriented Bar/Tavern Best places to stay near the park Best seats in the park Must-See attractions?

What did he say?

3TO = 3 true outcomes www.baseballprospectus.co...icleid=724

Well, at least he's got options remaining.

[ Heresy to the church of 3TO? ] Technically yes, but hopefully it's one more nail into the coffin of Wes Helms. Sometimes the ends justify the means. Russell knows that. He's very wise.

We actually WERE brewerfan.com for much of our existance.

(actually, it was JP... Bob really doesn't "do" the internet)

Was going through the archives today and found our first plug ever (08/20/01): www.brewerfan.net/media/powell.mp3

I fully admit that the thread I locked was very much in a grey area, and I was definately leaning towards caution. I'd be open to hear other people's thoughts on the matter as well.

[ actually, what do you want? What I mean is that some time in the last year I made a contribution to the brewerfan.net warchest. But the convenient link which told me where the site was with regard to its budget is nowhere to be found. Perhaps I'm lazy, but I think I made that contribution because I saw we were behind budget and I felt I needed to show some gratitude. Without that link, I may not have felt compelled to contribute. ] I only put the community chest link out when the message boards are up for renewal, as that's the time it's really necessary to raise funds. The thing that's kind of bunk about the community chest is that you can only use it to pay for ezBoard, so I don't want to have it out the rest of the year so people are under the illusion that it's helping pay for the monthly costs of the site. [ I appreciate that we aren't fed a constant stream of requests for money, but I also realize I tend to forget about contributing unless it's very obvious. ] We may do fundraising at some point to raise capital for promotions and things, but Shannon's still formulating what he wants to do with the site, from a PR perspective. The store's always open, if people want to buy Brewerfan.net gear. I have it set so each item makes $1 profit (which usually funnels back until the $5.95 per month cost for running the store. I'm trying _very_ hard to make zero dollars profit from the site. Everyone's so generous here when things have been asked for them, that i'm actually afraid I would MAKE money off the site, and I don't want that to be the point of the site. Basically, the site costs $50 a month to run (excluding the store and the message boards), so it'd be awesome if I were just able to re-coop that amount. Once we get official fundraising in place, i'd like to do some "public accounting" so everyone knows where every dollar goes. [ And one thing I'd like to see is some creative catchy titles for some contributors...Geno, Xis, Scoop, clancy, SoCal, RoCo, endaround, pogo, igor, and the other regulars. Of course, as of now they are reserved for brewerfan.net employees, and it could infringe on their status. ] Can they be picked by the staff, or will people pick their own? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I'd actually like to keep the titles standardized, but I can admit that there are some people who need to be recognized for their contributions to the site.
