  1. My hunch is that Jim's faith in his source is pretty solid, otherwise he wouldn't have posted what he did when he did. I don't think we have a badgerblogger situation here.
  2. The photos on Adam McCalvy's Brew Beat blog make Prince look fitter than before. For example: http://brewersbeat.mlblogs.com/fielder1.jpg The photos are from Prince's recent visit to Japan.
  3. I hate to marginalize Dave Bush by posting something about him in the "random MLB news" thread, but it certainly looks like someone has taken liberties with his Wikipedia page. In case it's edited soon:
  4. I'd assign about the same level of "no-offense" to Telly "Thanks So Much!" Hughes. Come back, Trenni! Your only year directly covering the Brewers was their playoff-eligible year. Like Teatoe993, I believe this is no coincidence; although I wouldn't go so far as to bring back the likes of Guillermo Mota. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  5. And the football games are virtually all on Saturdays, which all but eliminates academic conflicts and gives students Sundays to recover/catch up on work/whatever.
  6. Maybe May 24 was the first airing of the game as a Brewers Classic, instead of a live broadcast?
  7. The Rangers did have the audacity to knock NYY out of the 2010 playoffs.
  8. Work was too busy for me to catch any of it, but the John and Cait blog reports that the video will be posted later today. They also got Shaun a birthday cake.
  9. I haven't seen a completely full student section yet this season - though I only have access to weeknight games, not weekend. However, last night did look especially meager in the 114-117ish sections. Some of my student employees who have tickets have had to miss some due to class commitments. The "ugly Christmas sweater" contest kind of helped make up for the lower attendance, I thought.
  10. They both have postseason success?
  11. If you count the Expos and Nats as one franchise, Matt has played for 12. That doesn't mean he isn't legend, though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Go Matt!
  12. That was the only thing I didn't like about the 2010 World Series - it provided too good an argument for the status quo, because see? Texas made it! The Giants made it! Anything can happen! Like others, I find it refreshing that a player considered something other than the top dollar. Still, although success is never guaranteed, I wouldn't want to be a fan of another NL East team right now.
  13. I'm kind of surprised that the UW-MU game came and went with no game-day commentary. Meanwhile, at the UW-UWGB game tonight, I saw someone in the student section rocking a Brewers downflap cap, and would love to know if it was one of you guys.
  14. It was nice to get up not long ago and hear the whirr of the neighbor's snowblower as he plows his sidewalk and ours. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif The volume of snow in Madison still doesn't look massive, though - maybe six inches. Edit: It was also fairly hilarious to see the Weather Channel report on the Metrodome roof; they said it was potentially due to the snow. You think?
  15. That would be fine. Once it's zero or whatever, our low-priority residential intersection might then have slightly less deep frozen ruts. Also, pitchleague, here you go, from about ten minutes ago: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1337.snc4/162916_1712550259299_1404434242_1778599_5293232_n.jpg There's a moderate coating of snow on all the tree and shrub branches, which at least contributes to a holiday feeling. So far in Madison it's not the volume of snow that's concerning, but the extent to which it's being blown around. After several hours of rain this afternoon, I kind of hate to think of the layer of ice that is probably forming at the base of every surface. For what it's worth, Peavey, the channel 27 weekend weather guy said there was more coming after this dry slot. He still stuck to his 8-12" prediction for the general area, but I wouldn't bet against OWBC, of course.
  16. It's raining in Madison at the moment, so nothing photo worthy from me so far. OWBC, you sound pretty confident that there won't be another round of bad weather in ten days.
  17. Except for the counties in the blizzard warning. Edit: Which now includes the whole southern third of Wisconsin, as of 1:56 PM CST. Also, casey, given the winds expected Sunday, I hope you have a backup plan in case you have to stay in Milwaukee. Edit: The University of Minnesota closed its Twin Cities campus at 1:00 today due to the storm.
  18. When I first checked out Stevo's photo, I thought that under the red marker under Available Pitchers, Shouse might have been spelled with an SCH instead of SH. Because of the red marker, though, it's hard to tell for sure.
  19. Cabbie?Neither Cabby nor Cabbie is labored enough to be a true Yostian nickname. Maybe Cabrery.
  20. They haven't peaked...yet they're "very capable of having a bounceback year."
  21. How's Ned going to nickname Melky? Melky-y?
  22. Actually, this fall the NWS solicited input on the possibility of changing its statements from all caps to mixed case. The NWS Sullivan map is weird tonight. The two southernmost tiers of Wisconsin counties (except Grant) are under a Winter Storm Watch. To the immediate north of Dane County is the hot pink Winter Storm Warning. Grant and Crawford counties are in a Winter Weather Advisory. To the southwest (NW Illinois and NE Iowa) is a Blizzard Watch. Something's going to happen in south central Wisconsin; it's just not obvious exactly what yet.
  23. So the lineup cards for both of those games are now in the hands of Brewerfan members. This is just so right.
  24. OMG! It's snowing in Madison right now! Snowmageddon is upon us!!!11
