TURBO

2 of my favorite movies of all time. The Warriors is my favorite period! I can watch that movie anytime and still love it! I noticed that a long time ago, but didn't really think that the 48 hours character was a later version of the Warriors character, just chalked it up as coincidence. It's possible, but doubtful.

Thanks for the schedule! I see that the March 24th game is the Braun mini bobble game, maybe they will show the bobble?

If this is true, I wonder how many of them he has stashed away for a rainy day? It is obvious there are more than 100 Attanasios and Bill Hall Tracksuits out there, so it is probably a given there are more than 100 Icemen as well... I completely believe that whenever a bobble comes out that supposedly has a certain number edition, you can probably double that amount for what is really produced. Mostly for the low number ones like Attanasio, Hall and Iceman. Are there really 5000 of each of the Brewers Alternates and retros, probably since they are produced in such high numbers. Puts a real downer on the hobby in my opinion. Too much uncertainty when it comes to shelling out the big bucks for these things.

Do you know for certain he is selling them, or is it just a suspicion? Nothing would surprise me at this point.

By touting do you mean he was bragging about it? That doesn't make me mad, but had he been selling them, that would have caused a bit of anger...lol He needs to know that the subject of that bobble has nothing to do with its value. The reason people over pay for it is because there are so few of them, it is rare. Had it been a bobble of a pile of crap with a Brewers cap on, that was only given out in limited numbers, it too would have a high price.

I don't think those Nashville Sounds bible character bobbles should be included on the list because they were not given out as an SGA to the fans, but at a pre-game ceremony. (according to another board member) If they were not truly SGAs, then they probably shouldn't be on the list. Depending on how the new ones are distributed, they might fall into that same category. We'll have to wait and see what happens. In the end, it is your list and you can handle it any way you see fit, but I don't think you should be offended when other board members disagree with what you choose to include or not include. In the end, the collectors can make the final decisions on which ones to add to their collections. I didn't ridicule you about the Gehrig (I hope that wasn't directed at me), I felt it should be on the list, but I don't remember any harsh words between us. I don't know how many good players have gone through Helena over the years, but I know that Sheffield is hated by Brewers fans, and Helena is part of the Brewers organization. All I am saying is that you'd think Helena would have had a lot more options to choose from other than Sheffield.

Prince was not a Brewer when that one came out, diminishes the value, and collectability when the player is no longer on the team when it is given out. That Lucroy is going to be a HOT one with only 1000 of them, and an obvious tie to the Brewers that even the casual collector will want. You won't be getting the Lucroy for $10 plus shipping a year later. With the amount of collectors out there now, you may find a deal down the road if you are patient, but when this is released, it will be VERY popular. That stadium is going to be an absolute madhouse that night. I would bet you'll have to get there by 4:00 and stand in line if you are to have any chance of getting it. You guys could be right, and I admit I was wrong about the Nashville bobbles lat year (although the Hart is still a tough one to get) but this is completely different than a Richard Sterban or Ozzie. Lucroy is a popular player that people love! His career is on the rise, and he played in Appleton last year. People are going to want a piece of that memory, and this is the perfect way to get it. Silly argument actually, but if you snooze on this one, the chance of paying a high price later, or not having one available for a while is a real possibility. Will the price drop in a year? I guess those who wait will find out. The rehab series were not SGA bobbles. The number of collectors who stick with SGAs far outweighs retail collectors. They were loosely a promotion, but when they found not many people wanted them, they threw the extras in the team store. Try finding a Lorenzo Cain or Taylor Green right now if you think they are easy to get. Suppan is the only one that pops up on ebay occasionally. Who really wants to be reminded of Suppan anyway? lol The Bush is also a tough find for anyone collecting the set. Yup, I completely agree they handled the re-release of the opening day bobbles for their holiday promotion horribly! That should have never happened, and I think they may be aware of that since I know a lot of people complained to them. How can you say there are only 250 of something, then a year later, release the same damn thing minus the advertising to anyone who wanted one (talking about the papermakers version obviously). That angered a lot of people, especially the ones dropping $200 on a Papermakers since they were supposedly so rare. In the end, it felt like false advertising, and a lot of people felt screwed over, as they should. I hope they learned a lesson from that one, at least they aren't doing multiples on opening day with one rare one. That is a relief to collectors, all though I think some love the chase. I just hate all the under handedness that comes with a promotion like that. Same thing with the stupid alternates the Brewers do. Just offer one version of each bobble and be done with it.

Since the mystery bobble is sponsored by Dairy Queen, I think it will be a FANG.

Just like the Streban or Ozzie last year? Give it till the off season. No smart-alec, since the Lucroy is tied to the Brewers directly, and there will be only 1000 of them, it will be a tough one to come by. I think this one will remain a tough one though for the reasons I just stated. Are you saying it won't be pricey, or hard to get???? Got burned by that stupid Sterban and Ozzie last year, won't happen again.

7/27/13 - Darnell Coles (Coach) Undetermined date and player for the 2nd one.

That Lucroy is going to be a HOT one... With only 1000 of them, it could get a little pricey right out of the gate.

Yes, I know about Dickey, he played one year in our system, 22 starts... Had he not won the CY Young, you can bet this bobble would not be happening. They seem to have so many better options, and they go with Dickey? I would think they would want to go with a player currently in the Brewers system or on the BIG team. Oh well, it is what it is. Hard to understand why teams go with their choices sometimes, like last year's Helena Gary Sheffield. Has there ever been a more hated Brewer, and they think it's a good idea to commemorate him with a bobblehead?

Horrible selection. A repeat, a non brewer, and 2 bible characters. They did a paintable Ozzie last year, why do the same thing this year? I am wondering if it is the same bobble they just re-ordered, or if it is a new design? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! May 25 - Paintable Ozzie June 30 - David (Bible) August 2 - Goliath (Bible) August 3 - R.A. Dickey

April 8th - Matt Erickson holding the Championship trophy July 1st - Jonathan Lucroy August 5th - Mystery Bobblehead August 29th - Fan's Choice

We had 2 1B go down with injuries. One will be coming back after ~45 games. Why should Melvin go out and get someone to cover those few at bats? Who would want to come to play for only that short of time? Someone with no current job perhaps? 45 games? Has that been said someplace? I think there is a good chance we don't see Hart in the line-up before June.

Just curious, did everyone wear nametags with their Brewerfan.net names on them?

Is it safe leaving either stadium at night if you plan to take the subway/bus back to the hotel? We have the option of going to day games or night games, but if either stadium is in a bad area, might be better to go to a day game?

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/194697521.html HIP HIP...HOORAY! I shudder at the thought of what our offense would have looked like without Corey and Aramis.

Oh my, if he goes down for an extended period of time, we are more than in trouble... This could be bad, very bad.

...and with the above news, I continue to hope that the Brewers are not one of "those" teams... The news of Kyle Lohse in a Brewers uniform for 2013 and beyond would devastate my outlook on this team, and baseball in general.

Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that the Rangers and Kyle Lohse's agent, Scott Boras, "have remained in contact." Wilson also writes that "there are some within the Rangers’ organization who want (Lohse) on the roster," but the "biggest divide" is in having to surrender their first-round pick. Lohse's asking price has "reached the point where teams are rethinking their stance," according to Wilson. If the righty's demands have indeed dropped significantly, it seems likely that a number of clubs would revisit the idea of signing him. Related: Rangers Source: Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Not feeling this season at all... Seems like they are just limping along to the finish line. Kind of sad really. On a side not, I think that Community and Parks and Rec are also not on par with previous seasons. I started losing interest in Parks and Rec with the election last season. I still tune in, but it just doesn't feel like must see TV anymore. It has it's moments, and usually Ron and or Tom is involved. Community is another show I still watch, but some episodes are just flat out not that good. Does anyone know if this is the last season? Lastly, I had high expectations for 1600 Penn, and found it completely unwatchable after 3 episodes. It just isn't funny, so I stopped watching.

I do think Axford will be on a short leash this year with the fans... Last year was just so awful, any signs of a repeat performance will send a lot of us straight to the closet for the torches and pitchforks.

It doesn't matter who is responsible for signing Lohse, if Lohse ends up in Milwaukee, anyone involved with his signing deserves to be a whipping boy, now, and forever! If it's our GM, the owner, or both, they should be chastised until the end of time.

Any deals in 2013?
