I couldn't find this anywhere else, but I am still a novice at this site. What are your favorite places to go to get fantasy updates, i.e. up and coming studs in the minors that would be good pickups for my new keeper league, closer news, etc? Does anyone go to places like baseball hq and the like and pay to be a member? It seems like that is a waste of $. I used to just scour the web for hours, but with a new kid, and a real job with overtime, I don't have the time to do the research myself. -
I kept my wedding under $5k. I used to work in the wedding industry for a few years, so I could tell pretty quick if a place was good or not. I don't know where you are, but we had our reception at muskego lakes country club. http://muskegolakes.com/golf/proto/muskegolakes/ and loved it. Chris, the boss, is amazing. Food, drinks were reasonable, and delicious. I got my flowers from a friend's wife, who started her own flower business a year or so ago. Super cheap, yet great quality. Her name is Laurel. http://www.bloom-laurelflan.com/ Check it out.

first of all, the broncos thing is silly. Like someone just said, they are 6-1. They got rid of a brat. They got a ton of draft picks. Either way, remember a few days ago, Buster Olney said JJ had one of the best chances to be non-tendered? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/11/olney-on-nontenders.html I didn't agree with it, but I usually trust his opinion. If you think that way, Gomez is better than non-tender. Do I think that JJ should have played better last year? Yes. Do I think that we should have gotten more? Yes. Think about the Twinkies though. Like others have pointed out, he was a top prospect. They probably think that he has a lot of value. If Sveum can teach the kid to be more patient, he will be an asset.

i like that you can put your friends as your players. there are enough formats where we oggle over braun and yo. either way, fun indeed.

For any of you fellow Facebookers, there's a pretty fun application that has been taking too much of my time while at home and work; Baseball Tycoon. You train your players, and make fake money and play your team against your friends. It's a nice break from reading about the stupid economy. http://apps.facebook.com/...all_tycoon/?ref=69201459

I am glad to see his name like this. He was one of my favorites when he was here.

i cant figure out how to put the pic in, but i have a great one of him jumping after the homer. he probably jumped a herculean 12 feet in the air, and you can see the fans going crazy in the background. its one of my favorite pics i have. i'll send it in an email or something if someone wants to give me their email. i tried to use the "add pic" icon when i wanted to reply, but seeing that i am illiterate to quality blogging, i couldn't figure out how to choose which pic i want. it kept automatically choosing a pic of dennys reyes i like showing people when they say you have to be a great athlete to play ball. i'll email it, or if with some help, i'll attempt again to get it on here.

Hey Jason, was that anti-lechner group mine? It was either mine or Judah's. We both made one. Either way, good job on going back. I spent more time there than you and have less credits. I'll easily be 30 before I graduate from wherever I transfer, because I have my job now, and soon to be house, so don't worry about it. Make sure you try out the Sushi place across from Double Dip if you haven't yet. That is the cheapest in price, highest quality sushi you'll ever find. Salmon Katsu is my favorite. Then there's always the Boar......

all you have to do to be charged with burglary (which is a felony) is go into or on a premises without consent of owner while committing a (any) crime. -
I have the following bobbleheads that i want to get rid of. They are as follows. The following are in perfect condition w/ box: Chris Capuano (2007 full-size) Prince Fielder (4-6-08 50 HR king full-size) Ted Simmons (2007 small sized) Ted Simmons (again) Mike Caldwell (2007 small sized) Hardy, Weeks, Fielder, Hall (in that order big to small) nesting doll set no box The following are kinda broken: Harvey Kuenn special blue color (2007 small sized with a cleanly busted lineup card that will look new w/ some glue) Paul Moliter (2007 small sized with a missing bat, I know, I am terrible) I am looking for, in trade, the following; Barrelman Bobble Corey Hart Bobble later in the year. I work second, and third shift, and weekends, so its tough to get to the games now. I think a one for one trade of either of the upcoming bobbles for the Fielder, or Nesting Doll set is fair. If you'll have extras for both the Barrelman and Hart, I'll give you any or all of my extras. I'd love to get that done. I'll even do the driving around the area to do the drop.

24-10, to me, is spoken in the same breath as 4th & 26. both situations, i feel my team SHOULD have won out, most teams WOULD have won out, but that's not how the cards fell. if this doesn't ring a bell, take a gander at this; 2 huge collapses by my 2 favorite teams. in the eagles game, it was instant. with my beloved brew crew, it was a drawn out punch in my face. last year, i worked at the park, so i saw every botched call by nedly, every error at 3rd (albeit coming from one of my favorite players who now roams LF), every hanging curve, and billy K'ing while trying to pull a pitch down and away. the attitude of the fans slowly became more sour over the course of the season. it was my first glimpse of a serious chance for a playoff push. blah. this year? in my opinion, this stretch has gone unnoticed due to the relatively slow start by the team in general, and by a few of our stars. the two biggest reasons that i think we have a good chance to keep it up throughout the season; 1. Sheeter is in a contract year and absolutely dominating. 2. Nedly seems to be making better calls this year. It is a lot easier to manage when you don't have Turnblow 1 walk away from a 4 run inning though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

ill give you a polish for your barrel man. let me know.

I have 8 extra bobbleheads that i want to get rid of. They are as follows. The following are in perfect condition w/ box: Ryan Braun (6-1-08 full-size) Chris Capuano (2007 full-size) Prince Fielder (4-6-08 50 HR king full-size) Ted Simmons (2007 small sized) Ted Simmons (again) Mike Caldwell (2007 small sized) Hardy, Weeks, Fielder, Hall (in that order big to small nesting doll no box) The following are kinda broken: Harvey Kuenn special blue color (2007 small sized with a cleanly busted lineup card that will look new w/ some glue) Paul Moliter (2007 small sized with a missing bat, I know, I am terrible) I am looking for, in trade, any of the following; Bob Uecker Ben Sheets Bernie Brewer I'd love a rookie-style large Robin Yount from 9-2-06 small Ben Oglive anything else that is interesting Thanks

i would NOT have jenks on that list. lots of Ks. cant hit leftys. goes for the fences. looks like a fool.
-
the boss does this every year. get over the article. its from NY. im sure if you look hard enough you can find some idiot that writes that jeter is going to get traded too.
-
i say stop whining. i do not (DO NOT!!!) agree with keeping Nedly, and I am shocked that they did, but i still feel the organization is out there to win. i want a winning team. i want my heart ripped out when they dont make the playoffs. its so much better than being the spoiler for "real" ball clubs for the last 5 months of the season. this was my first pennant race i can remember. (24 yrs of age) i loved it. i also know that if i want this to become a tradition of a winning ball club, I have to do my part. Its like voting. You dont have to. The government will still be there if you dont. but you feel better. you know you did as much as you could have done to influence the outcome. Miller Park is still one of the cheapest parks around. I looked at the Marketing Report's Fan Cost Index briefly, and were very close to the bottom for average price. Who else is down there? Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Pitt, Texas, Florida, Washington. We are a winning team with cheap seats in a small market. I couldnt ask anything else from an owner here in milwaukee. I want to resign COCO now. Prince, Braun, JJ, Rickie YO! later. To do that, the Brewers need money. I will go to as many games as I can and wear as much Brewers paraphernalia as I can to help them do that. Why? I feel this ownership group will do what they can to win.

Devil Rays new uniforms (unofficial)
crackley replied to SeriesFinale's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
that model isn't just any "player." thats Geoff. outside of work, instead of a nice polo or what have you, he dons a jersey with this self-given nickname. (a la George's t-bone from Seinfeld) He has also been talking to the soon to be Rays about a long term contract starting next year. He decided hes been with one team through so many losses, and has single-handedly resurrected them to a winning team, hes going to do it all again!! They are not very close though my reports say. The Rays are offering 7 yrs $126 thinking that he can throw a nasty curve and has won a CY young over on the west coast somewhere. After explaining what an outfielder actually does for a baseball team, Geoff came back to the perplexed Rays organization with a 9 yr $141.5 stating "Hey, look at that old guy with a gotee in Colorado, I'm that good! I want to get paid as much as he does!" -
im not worried about the padres. we have them at home and we have played very well there. being my first serious playoff race, i love it all. strikes and gutters, ups and downs. how did the cards get in last year? they limped in, they weren't juggernauts the whole year. were improving our play at the right time. lets keep up this solid play!!

i dont know where this should be in the forum, but why is it that the mlb cant trade draft picks? i was reading a Yahoo! sports article on their frontpage. here it is, i hope i did it right "Some kind of a compromise with a slotting system and higher bonuses would probably fly, but the union doesn't want to set any kind of salary-ceiling precedents, and owners won't consider the possibility of trading draft picks, allowing smaller-market teams to cash in on players' value." i read that and thought to myself, why in the world would the owners be so afraid of us being able to trade for picks? if you want your team to have the pick, dont trade it to us for bill hall. (just an example) does anyone have any thoughts or insight regarding this? i thought all the rules recently were to HELP the small market teams. if they were afraid of us and our vast knowledge of drafting wisely, thinking about the future and not wasting $436 million on jd drew, why would there be such things as revenue sharing? thanks in advance for the thoughts.
