    Now the watch has shifted to all of southern Wisconsin until 1:00 AM. The dew point in Madison at 7:00 was 76 degrees. That's just wrong. It's even more wrong in Boscobel (Grant County), where the dewpoint is 79 and the air temp 91. That's a heat index of 107.

    I too realized last night that the last NL win was when the Brewers were in the AL. 1996 was also what the Brewers call our "rookie season" for having season tickets (we did in 1993 and '94 as well, but skipped 1995 due to the strike - so seniority-wise, we date back to '96) - that's what makes it feel like a long time ago to me.

    Yeah, and 9 of the remaining 10 counties are under either a heat advisory or an air quality alert. Dane County is the only county with nothing going on. I'm sure a tranquil and uneventful evening is afoot.

    I've got to agree with you. Even the celebrity national anthem was decent this year.

    He was traded just before the break. I don't remember what happened in the ASG.

    Thanks for the tip! My usual post offices (Wingra Drive if I'm driving, otherwise Lake Street because it's a block from my workplace) don't have automated centers, but I'll keep Struck in mind the next time I have a parcel to mail on a day off. What I didn't realize until I was in line yesterday was that July 12 was the last day to apply for a passport before the cost went up. However, only one person ahead of me was getting a passport. The others all had mailing issues.

    You might want to avoid switching to ESPN Classic, then. Today I don't mind not getting ESPNEWS. Happy belated birthday, davego.

    Well, here's a link. I think I can guess what will dominate the remaining all-star game coverage. I've long considered myself an "every man's death diminishes me" type of person, but I also find myself nodding with Invader's post above. It's not like the MLB playing field evened out much (or as much as it could have) when Steinbrenner was active. Still, a loss is a loss.
  10. hawing
    Yeah - despite the connection to baseball and the Brewers, the issue is better left to places such as Brewerfan Political Scene.

    Well, dang. Yet I'm glad Corey had a good first round.
  12. hawing
    Yeah, "That guy from Milwaukee" has me cooler on his ever managing the Brewers.
  13. hawing
    Corey blasted through that low bar. Dang!
  14. hawing
    Sandy Guerrero, same as Prince. Come on, Corey - the bar's set low so far!

    If you want the inside track on an inside joke/observation, you'd have finished that sentence with "all around good guy and that." http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Welcome aboard, and I hope you find what you're looking for with the Brewers.

    Am I the only U.S. Postal Service customer who brings parcels to the post office already packaged, taped and labeled? This afternoon it seemed like most everyone in front of me needed to be talked through the whole envelope (or box) selection, packaging and label process.

    I don't think that's it. I've been trying to figure out that song for a while now myself. I hadn't noticed lyrics in what they play at the ballpark, but given my lyric deciphering skillz, that means nothing.
  18. hawing
    Yeah, sorry, TBWS. Though it doesn't represent the total fanbase for either team, there's a subset of visiting Twins fans that give Cubs fans a run for their money, obnoxious-wise. Our friends in guest relations declared a Twins series of a few years ago the worst of the year for fan problems - worse than the Cubs.
  19. hawing
    Not going to lie...I could go for that. Yes, I'm thinking like a fan, but I think I should be able to do that at times. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif The loudest I've ever screamed for a home run in Miller Park was when Russell Branyan took Joe Nathan deep to tie the game in the 9th in 2008. The second loudest was today for Corey. That was satisfying, despite my knowing (and thinking during his home run trot) that many of you were glad more for his confounded trade value than for the results of the game. I thought Randy had his mechanics tweaked for the better these last two starts - but today's results certainly don't bear that out. Even our normally upbeat usher was gesturing at his season BB total on the ribbon board and sounding frustrated. Today's game doesn't really change the course, but I like winning better than losing; and in May would scarcely have thought the Brewers would even approach a .500 record when we attend, much less 10-9. Finally, for those of you scoring at home, we drove through not one, not two, but three torrential downpours on the way home - one of them windy to boot. Edit: One observation I forgot about: too bad, so sad for those fans who were hoping for the Polish in today's sausage race. The Polish "little wienie" tore off in the opposite direction (toward the Pirates' dugout) while the other kids ran in the right direction. A moment for sausage race infamy.

    I have to admit, I had a similar thought. The participating Brewers will be long gone by the time the mid-summer classic hits the 13th inning...and the NL will wish they were still available!

    Once again OWBC and I think alike. I'm really ready to move on from the home-and-home thing with the Twins. Every other year at MP is fine with me. For me it's partly that Twins fans have become irritating (sometimes on a par with the Cubs fans who tend to visit), but even more than that I'd rather see a wider variety of interleague opponents. And that Opening Day 2002 game...I didn't attend, but I remember the Rusch home run. It gave me a temporary case of "chicks dig the long ball" fever and resulted in my rooting for Glendon much longer than his performance warranted. (I got over it eventually.)

    The hawing party will be trying for a 10-9 record on the season. Randy Woof could go a long way toward making that possible. Then I'm sure we'll be driving home through thunderstorms. Such is our fate!
  23. hawing
    Yeah. I remember going to game three of that series. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

    Sadly, it also appeared to be Devil Eye Doumit time. Well, shake it off, Ax.
  25. hawing
    thablingster is going to be so bummed, having seen both his favorite MLB beards caught in a single double play. Honestly, from the time I first saw that photo of Ryan, I thought the abs part had to be photoshopped. They don't look real.
