TURBO

Any watchers? Love the show, so far this season, I was pretty disappointed that Dee Snider got canned, that Omarosa did not get taken back to the boardroom last night by LaToya, and that Arsenio has anything to do with this show. That guy really irritates me. Omarosa has to be the nastiest person I have ever hated on reality TV. Just a nasty disgusting human being. Other than that, great show!

Yup, I fully agree with this. As a backup infielder other than 1B, I'm fine with him on the bench, but as an offense producing need at 1B, this makes me sick to my stomach. Hopefully RR doesn't hit him 5th in the order, because of course, that is where Hart will hit upon his return... (assuming Hart hits in the 5 hole, you get the picture) I'm not sure what is on the waiver wire currently, but we have had a long time to find a fill in at 1B and we are still rolling with Gonzalez? Seriously, this just irritates me to no end. Veteran grittiness and respect can only take you so far.

I'm sure that 99% of the time, things go right, I just happen to fall in the 1% that goes wrong very frequently. It is frustrating. After all that, I should get some kind of little perk since none of the hassle I went through was my fault. I won't hold my breath.

I've said it before, and I will continue saying it now. If Narveson is one of our top 5 starters going into this season, we are in trouble. Coming off major surgery, starting him out in the bullpen makes a lot more sense to me than thrusting him into the rotation to see how he does. I would rather see Rogers in there to see what we have in him than to see Narveson in there to be nothing more than average at best. Boring. Every game counts, and having him in the rotation, and at #4, screams honoring veteran grittiness. I have no faith in the guy, he was no better than average before his injury, why would we think he can even match that after injury? Just didn't want to see him anywhere near our starting 5 this season.

Here is my messed up story regarding SnP tickets. I called in February, when regular tickets went on sale. Called to get my SnP tickets. I talked to a lady, who set me up with tickets. I asked her 2 or 3 times, to be sure I was in the right section, and that I was getting the SnP tickets WITH the bobble vouchers. She even put me on hold one time to check with a supervisor because of my concern. She came back and said everything was set, vouchers would come with the tickets, blah blah blah. 2 weeks went by, got the tickets in the mail, but no bobble vouchers, I got nervous, called again to be sure everything was set, talked to a different person, and found out that I was not set. The girl sold me tickets in the correct section, but they could not do the SnP part until March 15th... So, she told me they would call ME on March 15th and get everything right, as they still could not issue the vouchers until that date. March 15th came and went, no phone call. Not that I thought they would call me, but she said they would, so I waited and gave them a chance. No call. So, I called them late that afternoon. Of course I had to explain my situation to a ticket person, who then transferred me to someone in promotions, and I had to explain the entire situation once again. At this point, I'm feeling a bit stupid, and that maybe they think I am just trying to get extra vouchers. Then I realized that can't be true because I got my tickets before they could issue the vouchers, so there is no chance I was trying to rip them off... After being put on hold again while the last guy I talked to tried to figure out what the heck went wrong, he came back and informed me he would take care of the situation. I would have to send back my tickets, and then he would send me new tickets with the vouchers. The original tickets were in the correct section, but they had to start from scratch, which still makes no sense to me at all. So, I sent the tickets back, and am awaiting my new tickets and vouchers... What a pain in the butt.

This just in: (underwhelming, I'm just sick of the sausage bobbles... http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/733792_10151373345245003_1353037882_n.jpg

If we move Davis, I'm going to be severely disappointed. He was an absolute joy to watch in 2010, and I have been rooting for him since. Somehow, some way, we need to find a place for his bat.

I saw Khris Davis for a summer in Appleton, he is nowhere near the horrible outfielder that some on here claim. His arm was not a rocket, but it was no noodle either. I would think he would be no worse than Braun out there if the need came for him to play LF. I never once saw him make a play where I questioned his outfield ability. Probably saw him play 25 times in person, and not once did I think he was a hack.

That ICEMAN was a schill bidder. (not sure how you spell schill...) The winner has zero feedback, it was just too fishy for it to suddenly go up from the normal selling price of around $300 - $350, then to have 2 bidders going up to $600??? No way was that a legit sale. If so, and that is what has happened to the market, I'll never own one. This exact sale was discussed in this forum before, when it happened. viewtopic.php?f=68&t=28838&hilit=ICEMAN Would love to know how many of the ICEMAN bobbles truly exist. The Hall tracksuit and Attanasio has come into question as well. I don't think we can say there are 100 or fewer of these anymore. Sometimes, this hobby really sucks!

I got mine on the phone.

Did the pilot air on network TV?

Maybe we signed him to a team friendly contract to trade him?

100% and totally agree with this statement. It is amazing how many cars you see where the driver is talking on the phone too. There are times, at intersections while waiting for a light, there are more people talking on the phone while driving than not. I don't get it, are people that much more important than me that there is a constant need to be on the phone while driving? I can count on one hand how many times I have talked on the phone while driving. I just don't see the need. I have never texted while driving, but I admit, I send about 5 texts a month total, but never, NEVER while driving. You can always tell when the car in front of you is texting or even talking on the phone while driving. It is highly irritating, and the fact that people are so selfish they don't mind putting everyone around them at risk is frustrating.

No new photos of the remaining 5 bobbles from this year... Wonder what the hold up is?

Rock Fest (Cadott) and Rock USA (Oshkosh) fall on the same weekend.

the link is in the 2nd post in this thread...

I respect that opinion, however, have you heard their last album? GREAT stuff. I was fighting with myself to even give it a try, I was turned off that Michael Anthony was no longer in the band, but they still have it, and the last cd is the proof!

I was thinking the same exact thing about Van Halen bailing, however, there are enough other bands that are worth seeing for the $49 four day festival price... Brett Michaels was originally on the bill too, but he bailed. (Didn't want to see him anyway, not my cup of tea) I think there is a lot of risk if you only want to see Van Halen, and as volatile as they can be, I think I am fully expecting them to NOT be there.

Man, there are some great concerts/festivals on schedule for this summer if you like 80's Metal!!!! Rock USA in Oshkosh has Van Halen, Ratt, Dokken, Great White, Queensryche, and Jackyl. Rock Fest in Cadott has KISS, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, and Megadeth. Summerfest has RUSH. Only bummer is that Rockfest and Rock USA happen the exact same weekend. What is the point of that? I would think that someone dropped the ball there as people who would attend a rock concert weekend like those would probably do both if they fell on different weekends. Forcing people to make a choice is not the best plan when it comes to making money. Anyway, looks like a great summer shaping up for metal heads like myself!

Thanks for that article... I remember this clearly, and still have the newspaper clipping with the photo of the bullet hole in the car window. I was 12 years old, and this was just horrifying to me, as an innocent pre-teen and a baseball fan. Very sad, even to this day.

Seems very possible, and I'm really looking forward to seeing these guys on a daily basis...
