    I'm thinking that the bat might have a "40" on it, but don't know for sure.

    I was hoping Rickie would have cut that nest off his head for the 2013 season...

    Just found this: http://bleacherreport.com/tb/d9H1z?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=milwaukee-brewers Which probably means Lohse will be signed within a week.

    Has he ever played 2B in his career? I wouldn't view a guy who has never played the position as a nice option. I'm just not a fan of taking a 14 year vet, who has only played one position his entire career, and switching him into 2 or 3 other positions. If we are that bad off that we can't field back-up players at those positions with previous experience, we might be in trouble. I am not a fan of giving regular players a lot of days off, I fear our manager might do just that. Gamel sitting 1 or 2 days a week so Gonzalez can play 1B and get on the field is a bad idea in my opinion. Giving Weeks a day off a week so Gonzalez can play 2B just to get him into the line up doesn't make sense. I also don't want Segura to get a day off a week either. It could end up that Gonzalez is playing 3 different positions a week just to get him at bats, at the expense of the regulars. I'm just not keen on that idea. Just to be clear, I don't care where they have him play in Spring training, give him a mask and catcher's gear for all I care, but once the regular season starts, I don't want him all over the infield just to get him game action.

    I'm not against him playing 1B all together, and don't view that happening as a negative as long as it isn't very often... I am against him playing 1B at the expense of Gamel not getting his ABs in before Hart returns. Our manager just worries me everytime he has to make a decision like the one he will have when filling out the daily line-up card. Gamel needs to play 6 days a week if not every game until Hart gets back, with an off day every once in a while. I'm afraid that our manager might try and get creative and play Gonzalez at 1B more often than he should, which is most of the time he will be playing 1B.

    Wasn't the Ward bobble being sold by a private seller? I wonder if the same thing can be said about the Hall? Probably a private seller with a table? I took it that the Hall was gotten directly from the Brewers, so the chance it was a private seller made more sense. I wish he had said what he paid for it.
  8. TURBO
    Understood, but I find it hard to believe that they stuck a Tracksuit bobble out with the other stuff. If he was inside the facility BEFORE the doors open, why didn't he have time to grab the Hall and the Sheets jersey? I just find it hard to believe there would be a Tracksuit bobble out for anyone to grab at any point during the on deck, but then again, when it comes to the bobble hobby, nothing really surprises me anymore. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I am jealous.

    Found this tidbit today: Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Saturday that he wants Alex Gonzalez to get some work in at first base, potentially serving as the backup to Mat Gamel there until Corey Hart is ready to return from the DL. In his 14-year career, Gonzalez has played exclusively at shortstop, but could be able to make the transition defensively. It would also be a way to get his powerful bat in the lineup more often, especially against tough left-handers. Source: Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel I'm not a fan of trying to find ways to get his "powerful" bat into the line-up more often. Is it wise to take a guy who has played only SS his entire 14 year career, and try to have him learn a new position? It is one thing if his "powerful" bat really provided a lot of pop on a consistent basis, but I'm not sure getting him work at 1B is going to help our offense much. I sure hope Gamel starts out hot, or we could see a lot of Gonzalez at 1B as our gritty veteran presence...

    Found this article, and find it hard to believe that a BH Tracksuit bobble was found on table at the 2011 Brewers On Deck event... If so, kudos to the lucky Timber rattlers employee... I am wondering if he got it because he works for the T-Rats/Brewers, or he just stumbled upon it along with the rest of the bobbles... http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110126&content_id=16511920&vkey=pr_t572&fext=.jsp&sid=t572

    I just called Time Warner Cable to see if I can get a better deal... I am currently paying $125 per month for cable (99 channels, no dvr, no digital cable box), unlimited free long distance calling in Wisconsin only (landline), and 15 MB speed internet (roadrunner). I have been happy with all services, other than an occasional outage of phone, I have been pretty happy with TWC. Anyway, they dropped my price to $119, upped my cable to 250 channels, gave me free unlimited nationwide calling to anywhere in the US, and free DVR service (which included a DVR for the $10 it cost for them to ship it to me.) All in all I was pretty happy with the deal, however, would have rather been able to knock $25 off my monthly bill. Was told several times that the deal they gave me today was THE best they could do. I'm sure they would rather add services (which costs them almost nothing) than to drop my bill, which costs them cash money.

    I would view it as a hometown discount if he would have gotten more money on the open market. In this case, it appears he would have gotten another 25 million had he gone for 200 mil. I can totally see how this would be considered a hometown discount On a sidenote, isn't it great that 3 of the top 12 players on the list above bolted Milwaukee for the cash... Yes, I know Greinke was traded, but could have come back and signed at a "discount"...

    Still waiting on the Braun bobble photo. I wonder if the recent nonsense is delaying the release of the photo, or worse yet, are the Brewers reconsidering even doing the Braun bobble this season?

    Actually, this will be the 3rd sausage in the stitch series... (Polish, Chorizo, and Hot Dog)
  15. TURBO
    ^wow^ Now THAT is a bargain!

    Anyone have other digital phone service companies they have used? Is this form of phone service reliable? I too have TWC, and am sick of paying their prices for phone service.

    Was it commonly known a year ago that this guy was a steroid dealer? Edit: Nevermind...went back and read the ESPN story that was in post #1 on this thread. Didn't know that Bosch had ties to Manny Ramirez back in 2009. So, yeah, gotta agree, why would you go anywhere near this guy if you were clean? Ok, so on the flip side, why would you go anywhere near this guy if he is dirty, when he is notorious for his involvement with PEDs. Just doesn't make any sense one way or the other. This is maddening. I truly thought this was behind him. Kind of sucks being a fan right now. I'm torn between just ignoring everything and hating the guy for putting us all through the ringer again...

    I will probably go to the game too, but will only get one extra... Not for sure yet since it is a week night before school gets out though...

    lol Wouldn't be that surprising...
  21. TURBO
    Yeah, I like it. Very different than any other bobble the Brewers have put out.

    Added Corey Hart photo above in the first post. I'm hoping they add his tattoos though...
  23. TURBO
    Hard to believe those blue minis were going for $10. I would have probably bought another set just to have an extra. Were they being sold by the Brewers, or a private dealer?

    According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Brewers are discussing a minor league deal with Lyle Overbay. Rosenthal says Overbay is also drawing interest from other major league teams and is expected to decide on one soon. He would serve as insurance at first base in Milwaukee behind Mat Gamel, who will be the starter until Corey Hart recovers from knee surgery. Overbay, 36, hit .259/.331/.397 in 131 plate appearances last season between the Diamondbacks and Braves.
