A short distance, but PB and 69 are only considered major thoroughfares if you live in Green or southern Dane County. Don't spin out into the mighty Richland!
-
This sounds familiar, except I don't have a wife (http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif) and we're expected in Kenosha - so at least in the opposite direction from the heavier stuff, but how relatively clear it is there wouldn't matter so much if we spin out while leaving Dane County. But we are split between trying to leave Wednesday evening or waiting until Thursday. I'll be watching local weather sources and, of course, will eagerly absorb whatever our newly degreed resident weatherman has to say here. And I hate to rain/snow/sleet on adamb's winter parade, but the NWS said the solstice was at 11:47 AM central time. Still, happy winter. (blue for the iciness, not sarcasm)

And may I just add that OWBC now has the UW-Madison equivalent of a meteorology degree, which I believe gives his weather posts here that little extra oomph, or zazz, or notch of authenticity. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif (UW-Madison doesn't call it "meteorology.")

Wow. That image in Schlitz001's post made me think immediately of Matt Stairs. http://www.traffick.com/uploaded_images/matt-stairs-721917.gif -
Well, congratulations to Whitewater.
-
My one, small regret about this particular matchup is that the two teams' colors are so similar. Until I see a helmet design I find myself wondering which purple/white/black team is which.
-
OWBC is finishing up his undergraduate education this weekend...so let's cut him some slack if he doesn't reply right away.
-
Excellent! My ophidiophobia need not interfere with my Brewers fandom. So does he have to go yard as a Brewer for us to declare Kam Boogie? because that's not so likely for a pitcher.
-
Kameron is a snake owner. Or at least he was in 2008.
-
Neil Diamond has made three Christmas/holiday albums. I would call this at least two too many.
-
This year I'm scheduled for my first total "Christmas vacation" (no work days from Christmas Eve until after New Year's) for the first time since 1991. 1991. However, I'm still due to work through the 23rd and I appear to be out of ambition today.

36 Minutes with Melvin -- Latest: Gord Ash Audio

Look on the bright side: they're highly unlikely to re-sign Suppan on Christmas Eve. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif -
Returning some levity to the 'what's bugging you' thread, while I was getting a haircut tonight at West Towne Mall, the S.O. visited the Eddie Bauer store and saw Jon Leuer (my current Badger basketball fave) and Brett Valentyn trying on sweaters. I was overdue for a haircut, but I'd have liked to see that.
-
Wow, Invader, I'm sorry to hear it. Regular readers of this thread might recall that a visitor to my workplace committed suicide here two weeks ago, leaving plenty of upset in his wake. It's an experience I wouldn't wish on anyone.
-
Tim Maymon talked to madison.com. Link Jeronne is being used out of position and the offense isn't being run for him. I guess nine games is enough of a sample to determine that the whole four seasons would be that way? We don't know what if anything he was promised, but this makes me think that the Maymons are at best impatient. They'll say more publicly on Thursday, after the release is granted.
-
You're not the only one, JenkinsBomb. I'm admittedly glad the Brewers have found as many other options as they have at the catcher spot, but I wasn't a hater while Kendall was here. Maybe more of a well wisher, in that I wish Jason no specific harm.
-
I'm happy about this, especially while we don't know how speedily Rickie will bounce back. Craig is the only CC I need. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Got to admit, this is the reason I'd miss Cat the most as well. Just surprised that Hawing hasn't chimed in on this thread yet http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gifAh ha haaaa.It's weird. When "Your Love" was first released, I didn't like it at all, and promptly spent the next 25 years devoting no thought to it - until Frank joined the Brewers and used it as his at-bat music. Now I sing along with every other female fan. I think it's Pavlovian. Anyway, it's nice of bensheeps to wonder, but I've got Your Love on my iPod now, and bought the Brewers Wives Pet Calendar for 2010 (in which Cat is Mr. April) - so if he's not back I'll be fine. I probably should start saving for the Catalanotto jersey that will eventually be for sale at the 2010 (or later) clubhouse sale, though.

So, that blizzard hit Madison during our next door neighbors' Hawaii vacation. They left us their snowblower (all tuned and fueled up) in case there was snowfall. Today they stopped by with some cookies from Hawaii and a $50 gift card for a local mall, for all the snow removal we did in their absence. Wow.
-
"There was a decision" - sounds like it was not necessarily Mr. Schumacher's preference. I appreciate that the city plowed our residential street on Wednesday so that we could get out (if we'd had to) and that city services could reach us. One of my coworkers had chest pains while shoveling on Wednesday (he's OK), and I'm glad the ambulance was able to reach his residential street. Everyone seems to agree now that a "hybrid" response (I think that was the mayor's phrase) is warranted in the future. Let's hope they keep this week in mind after future snows (not to mention, let's hope that 16-17" storms are few and far between).

McClung, DiFelice and Rivera non-tendered
hawing replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Through the 9th inning of that Friday game with the Cubs in September 2008, I was standing in the living room clapping, and when Seth finally got the third out I jumped and screamed and sent our cats running. That, and the game in May or June 2008 that featured McClung vs. Randy Johnson - and not only did the Brewers win, but Seth got his first two MLB hits off Randy Johnson (albeit the 2008 Randy Johnson) - are my favorite McClung memories. Thanks, Seth. -
We decided to walk home tonight rather than wait for a bus (traffic on campus was at a crawl in all directions anyway). After 35 minutes on the nicely plowed ped/bike path, I found ice in my water bottle.
-
Every time I see the thread title "Macha ready to run," I think for a split second that he's resigning his position.

Some random observations in the aftermath of our 17+ inches of snow (14+ at the airport, but I measured our un-drifted driveway before we started snow removal): Thank the lord for snowblowers. Our neighbor, who is vacationing in Hawaii this week, left us his snowblower. Of course, we did his sidewalk and driveway apron (we share the apron) too. Our side streets were plowed around 4:00. Given the traffic we get (one of the streets at our intersection is a dead end), this was a reasonable response time. We were just starting on the driveway apron, so we didn't have to redo very much. One of the curb cuts, however, was filled up to my waist after the plow left. About 10 minutes later, while I was trying to attack the three foot pile of hard snowpack, this woman walked up and was clearly annoyed that the curb cut wasn't open for her yet. God almighty. It tapped my patience a good bit to explain to her that the space was open until 10 minutes ago. Mayor Dave, who lives in our neighborhood, walked by me going from Monroe Street to his house. I said thanks for extending the sidewalk snow removal deadline. Seemed like a nice enough guy. I seriously can't believe how much snow I personally moved today. Even in that crazy 07-08 winter, I don't think I moved as much in one day as I did today.
