    Every day is one day closer to the season, Corey. Just don't stop. (Triple) (Should this just be the game thread?)

    I can't help but feel like the term "anxiety disorder" is being used very loosely or maybe even improperly. Happy to hear that they're saying so bluntly that it's easily treatable. Maybe hypertension? Anemia?

    From the article, it sounds like he would be day-to-day during the season but they're (rightfully) being extra cautious right now. Here's hoping he's 100% for opening day.

    Lucky break for Team USA, the 8th inning continues . . . It looked like Delgado was still on the bag, but I'll take it.

    The game is on 1070 AM in Madison for those who can pick it up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    So, the other day when I went into my local Copps I was asked to switch from my trusty Copps card over to a new Roundy's card. No big deal, as long as it worked. It had this other thing advertised along with it - apparently you could get discounts on gas by using the card. I'm typically hugely skeptical of this sort of thing, but it was surprisingly easy to use. Basically, everytime you spend $50 at a Roundy's store (Copps, Pick n' Save, Rainbow, Metro Market) you get $.10 off a gas purchase at a BP station, as much as $.40 off of each gallon up to 20 gallons. They added a mag strip to the new grocery card, so when you get to the pump you just swipe it through before your credit card (or however you want to pay). I sound like a walking advertisment for this, but I just filled my tank and about 5 seconds of extra effort got me $.20 off per gallon, and I just shop at Copps normally anyway.

    Well, this game has taken a turn for the interesting. Corey Hart needs to save some for the regular season.

    Not trying to be facetious, but it's . . . probably a green screen. Many parks use them to rotate ads on TV screens.

    I like Rickie's new look. That said, it does have quite a bit of Royce Clayton to it.

    Jeter out for Rollins. Suticliffe wonders if there's something wrong with him. Other than being an inferior player?

    Jake Peavy is a complete madman. You can hear him cursing himself out when he misses.

    Today, I am awash with relief and feel cleansed of a harsh, oppressive winter. Snow may be visible outside my window, but the presence of competitive baseball is more powerful than the lasting cold. Welcome to Spring Training.

    A suction device for your nose does sound a little dangerous . . . But if you're looking for something drug-free that actively cleans your nasal passages/sinuses, there are nasal irrigation products that are basically the exact opposite of suction - pouring/spraying liquid. I have a sinucleanse kit (http://www.sinucleanse.com/) and it works great when I'm seriously congested. The feeling of the irrigation is really quite strange at first (especially if you use a neti pot), but it can work wonders.

    I've never used much butter when I make it, generally I find that the skin and surrounding fat plus the interior steam created by the beer keep things from drying out. The skin itself will get fairly dry, but it'll lock in a lot of moisture. I usually use some sort of poultry or meat rub, you can use almost anything to suit preference, and I make sure to get the rub under the skin. It takes some care to not tear the skin but with some patience it can be done and it really makes the meat more flavorful. If you're just basting or otherwise seasoning the exterior, you will help prevent moisture loss but you won't really add much flavor unless you care to eat the skin with the chicken (I generally don't). On top of that, if you're basting mid-cook, you could end up doing more harm than good to the final product by opening the oven door/grill cover too often and creating heat fluctuations. Specific to seasonings, chicken can be a palette for so many flavors. If I was to make one right now, I'd probably use (off the top of my head) . . . some garlic, ancho chili powder, black pepper, thyme, maybe ginger.

    I'm discovering that I have a caffeine/sleep cycle that is a holdover from college. Basically, over a stretch, I work a lot and pack stuff into my schedule, sacrifice sleep and use caffeine (mostly coffee) to keep me going on a daily basis. It builds and builds until I'm basically a house of sleep deprived and caffeine-addicted cards, and then it all comes crashing down and I totally bottom out mood/fatigue wise. In college, this would often be leading into a break of some sort, so I could sleep a bunch and get back to normal. But now that I'm out of school and working full time, the only breaks I have are weekends and a given weekend isn't enough time to recover from that sort of mess. So this week I'm gradually weening myself off of the caffeine and living through some ROUGH afternoons. Ooooof. Hopefully this gets better.

    Is your blog hosted by a major blog hosting service (blogger, wordpress)? There may be some sort of administrative support contact where they could check activity on your account.

    I was just thinking the same thing. Jim alone makes it worth it (not to mention getting to hear Vin Scully call late games.)

    Done and done. I'd like a Rodenbach Grand Cru, preferably the corked 750, but I'll take a 330 if that's all you can find. Er, Spotted Cow will be just fine.

    Glad there's basically no chance of us getting only a 4th and a sandwich.

    I ended up making chocolate-covered bacon around the holidays, topped with Kosher Salt. It was incredibly awesome, though hard to make it look nice.

    I'm somewhat concerned over this as well, but it may be the high expectations more than anything. One thing that will probably mitigate some of that risk is that whomever the Brewers/WTMJ brings on actually has to be able to do play-by-play at a high level. There aren't too many bloviating former player types who can do that. As the sting of this news wears off, it is being converted somewhat into interest about who the new person will be.

    A little anecdotal experiment. I have been told and read non-scientifically before that seasonal preference may be based on initial childhood familiarity. Said basically, the theory is that you'll prefer the season in which you came into the world, because it was your first frame of reference. There are a lot of confounding factors, of course, not the least of which being the limited amount of time babies spend outdoors at all soon after birth. Just curiosity, here. So, I want to know whether you have a preference in season and how it compares to the time of year in which you were born. I strongly prefer the summer, to the point that the winter affects me both physically and mentally. Both the cold and lack of sunlight seem to play a role. I was born in June. I work during the summer as a sailing instructor here in Madison. Of my fellow instructors at my club, we have what seems to be an disproportionately high number of summer birthdays. Unsure if it is statistically significant.

    Jim, thank you for everything. You were my favorite announcer of any team in the Wisconsin market.

    This doesn't surprise me at all - a low cost move on two different fronts (pick compensation and salary). Sheets does outrank Cruz on the Elias Rankings (though, not by very much), for those worried about missing out on that 4th round pick.

    Very possible. Hopefully, even the certainty of the worst case scenario will be helpful to Melvin and Ash.
