Well, BSC, I salute you. In Friday's IGT I remarked on the surplus of $5 Julio t-shirts and speculated that only the hardcore fan would put down even $5 for them.

Oberweis makes milk available in returnable glass bottles. I got used to glass bottle milk in Green Bay when you could get those at Hansen's.I'd consider Oberweis if we hadn't switched to soy milk on account of the S.O.'s cholesterol/diabetes. (Though technically this gets away from the "cheap" part of the original post.)

I'm only dismayed that the possibility of Ronnie Belliard being part of a second World Series exists. The baseball gods are having a laugh tonight, at my expense.

Don't forget the Jose Capellan specials! (unless someone actually bought them) On that discount rack in the terrace store, there has been a Balfour missing the F for most of the season. I haven't checked recently to see if it's still there.

Yeah, tip of the cap to SoCal. I've unofficially become pretendastronaut's backup, but we were at the game ourselves and I figured starting a thread before we left would be too early. But hey, look at the results: Sunday home win! the first since May 31. May freakin' 31. I should know; we've been at all of the Sunday games in the interim. A quality start for Suppan, on a day when there was really no particular reason to expect it. He did a fair amount of Houdini work in the process, but still. I think SoCalBrewFan has earned himself a slot in the IGT starting rotation. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif It's kind of like the Brewers' starting rotation: pretendastronaut in the 1 spot, followed by a collection of #4 and #5 threadstarters. Random game observations: - bensheeps' son got some videoboard time during the 7th inning stretch. Sadly, the cameras robbed him of more time during the Hoffman entrance. - Brian Anderson's daughter sat in front of me for an inning or two. We'd been wondering why she kept turning around and waving at the FSN booth, until Brian finally saw her and blew her a kiss. It was cute. - We didn't find a taker for our extra pair of tickets but did score two of each style Soup bobble as we redeemed all four. -
Hey, a win! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Though I wish the media would stop focusing on the "home winning streak" over the Pirates. The real test comes tomorrow - a semi-dreaded Sunday game. Still, I'm glad it won't be a 'rubber game.'

I doubt anyone here wants to know (unless Jimbo takes a look at the IGT tonight), but UW volleyball swept South Dakota tonight. I see that my absence from monitoring this game hasn't hurt the Brewers...so far. Chat's open (not that I have to be there for something to happen)...

Yeah, the most recent renovation of that store added more shelf space, but at a steep price of navigational space. It's more our 'convenience store' than anything else. Trying to stay on-topic, the Wisconsin State Journal in Madison today has a front page story on grocery shopping strategies. (Not sure how long the link will stay active; I couldn't find a permalink.)

Red Sox release Brad Penny [Latest: Will Join Giants]
hawing replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Every time I see this thread title, I think of the phrase, "turn up like a bad penny." Not saying Brad is a bad penny; it's just how I keep reading the title. -
The S.O. and I were on the videoboard during Friday's game. The Kohl's Family Section $250 gift card winning family was three rows ahead of us, so we were in the background. I doubt anyone noticed, but I spent our 15 seconds of semi-fame griping about how we never win the gift card despite possibly having spent more time in the family section than any other fans (OK, many other fans). I managed to make it look like general fan banter, though. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I think we may have to rent a kid for a future Friday or Saturday night game, to give ourselves a chance at the gift card. Still, tonight's game was pretty enjoyable.

I offer this up in case anyone wants to use it as their avatar. I'm not sure I want to break away from Corey while he's still recuperating: http://gecatalogimages.meijer.com/000/41543/0004154315019.jpg

This was the first "Sunday Plus" 20 pack game that the Brewers won since June 26. June 26! I am delighted that they hung on, and the on-field results didn't mar our beautiful Sunday Plus seats. I also sort of called the Prince home run. I said aloud during his at-bat, "Prince, are you really satisfied with just 35 home runs?" It's nice when they listen to me. They should listen more often. Terrace Level Fan Zone Discount Alert: You have to be hardcore to spring for the latest addition to the $5 player tee racks: Jorge Julio. Relive the craptitude! Other deeply discounted player tees include a few Shouses, a few Sabathias, Durham, Nelson, some XXL Hardys, royal blue Halls, and bright gold Villanuevas.

Apologies if this appears earlier in the thread and I missed it, but when does the 48-hour clock end for the Hoffman claim?
-
I'm (somehow) still looking forward to going to tonight's game and Sunday's. It would be nice if the on field results were favorable, or at least not shameworthy; but I always find something to enjoy at games. Beats the offseason by a large margin.

How long of a leash would you give Suppan?
hawing replied to DougJones43's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I doubt management is blissfully unaware of fans' opinions, whether on Suppan or anyone else. -

I wonder how common it is to have a bobblehead deal put into your contract. That's my best guess for why Jeff gets a bobble. And pitchleague, your question about Soup bobble day is the same one I've had since the moment I realized he was in line to start on Sunday. I hope it doesn't come to that, and neither encourage nor condone it, but if he gives up a leadoff dinger...let's just say not much would surprise me. -
Silver Spring sells online. Or you can buy through Amazon.com. Sure, in bulk only; but can you have enough Silver Spring Beer 'n Brat Mustard? This thread submits that you cannot.
-
Since Uecker has such a close working relationship with Silver Spring Beer 'n Brat Mustard, I wish he would broach the topic of whether Silver Spring Beer 'n Brat Mustard can pitch. The Brewers should leave no stone unturned! (There's probably a pun in there about stone ground mustard, but it's time to open up the workplace.)
-
I can't imagine Silver Spring Beer 'n' Brat Mustard without some Usinger's sausage and krisp kraut. Mmm-MMM! It's just not summer without 'em.

I'D ACCEPT ANOTHER COCO BLOWN SAVE... edit: nuts.

As Happy Days actor and native Kenoshan Al Molinaro would say..."Yep, yep-yep-yep." http://images.movieplayer.it/2007/09/14/al-molinaro-47530.jpg This is not helping my mood at all.

You missed my new acronym coined in the chat Tuesday night: SHSR (Still Hate Scott Rolen).

Still, the surviving Kennedys are kind of second-tier, in terms of having that Kennedy mystique or star power or whatever you want to call it. Caroline's the only direct link left to the "Kennedy White House" and I imagine she will get the lion's share of Kennedy media attention after Ted is laid to rest. Most of us here were either not alive or not old enough to really 'get' the sensation and the degree of hope that JFK's presidency inspired in the U.S. and the world. My mother, who is not heavily into politics in any way, shape or form, had a framed photo of JFK on the wall for decades, until she moved a few years ago. My library, which is nationally known for its research collection on North American history and culture, has an absolute ton of books on the Kennedys. I shifted them once a few years ago and tried to keep count of the number of different languages in which we have books on JFK...and I lost count. The only other Presidents to get that kind of written word representation are Lincoln and FDR. Whether the Kennedys, or any family, warrant so much media attention is a valid question. If I were forced to choose between ongoing Michael Jackson coverage and ongoing Kennedy coverage, I'd opt for the Kennedys 100 times out of 100.

Repeat: Silver Spring Beer n Brat Mustard is now available at regular price at your local Pick N Save.
