    The goal remains the same, Brewers: 1-0 for Thursday. That's all I ask.
  2. hawing
    Don't say that, that only means he is due for one of those game shortly. Now would not be a good time Well, brewcrewin2004 has already jinxed Todd Coffey with his post above. What's one more?

    Wow, photoshop some green skin onto Prince in that photo and you have Hulk Angry! Good heavens...he's sporting Brewers-logo'ed underwear, isn't he? The gut is one thing; the underwear detail is one I did not need to know.

    The brat I was served at MP last night was the skinniest brat I have ever had - about the circumference of an Oscar Mayer wiener. It was tasty, but not even slightly plump. C'mon, for $4.25? (I know, you were all thinking, ooh, hawing posted in the vent thread. Now you can vent about how disappointing my vent post was.)

    I believe this is the first time wOOgiE22 has made graphics for a Sabathia start. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif 1-0 record for tonight. That's all I ask.

    Oh, Jebus. Bless you, Prince. I now have a "happy place" I can go to in my mind if things really head south the rest of this week (or any day in the off-season). They can be heroes...

    I've seen 20 Brewer wins in person this season! (vs. 10 losses, with 2 or 3 games to go) The ninth inning of Tuesday's game is going to be the happy place I go to in my mind on Sunday, I think. Unless the Brewers are willing to top the memory. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Russ, you didn't hear booing during Bush's stellar 2nd inning? or when Mota gave up the homerun? I think I've heard worse booing at MP, but it was definitely audible from the terrace box. Our specific section seemed pretty free of booing, though. I'd say the crowd for Tuesday's game was alternately subdued and whipped up. It was a tense evening as soon as Dave started walking guys in the second, and the tension never really let up. It felt like a crowd who badly wanted a win, and who by the latter innings were living and dying on every pitch. It was kind of sad that the Brewers felt a need to periodically notify fans via the ribbon board, "Make Some Noise!" and "Wave Your Towel!" Oh, is that what the towels were for?

    Given Suppan's recent performances, I was wondering about this myself.

    I thought the same thing, tts. Looking at that clip reminds me of an ad for mlb.tv that the Brewers have been playing on the videoboard before games. A few baseball fans geek out in front of a tiny clip from the 1990s, and all say "AWESOME!"; then they show the same geeks, looking a bit older, geeking out in front of a "modern-day" mlb.tv clip, still saying "AWESOME!" For some reason, that ad still makes me chuckle.

    A similar bug is when multiple people decide to stand and have a conversation directly in front of the seat you're in. Like the example patrick425 cites, they aren't truly out-of-place since the game hasn't begun, but your choices are to either move temporarily or be forced to observe the conversation. Since this has happened to us a few times this season, I wonder if section 217 is the key. This reminds me of an odd bus ride I took in Madison once. Rider A had a window seat. I, Rider B, took the seat adjacent to hers. Rider C boarded later and sat across the aisle from me. Riders A and C are friends and apparently hadn't seen each other in some time, as they launched into an animated conversation that I was physically in the middle of, but otherwise not part of. The high point for me was when Rider A asked to see Rider C's new wedding ring, which she had to kind of thrust in my face to get it close enough for Rider A to see - with not even so much as an "excuse me." So I'm going to posit that many people have little to no awareness of their surroundings at all.

    Let's post a 1-0 record for tonight, Brewers. That is your goal.
  13. hawing
    ...since that bizarre Brewers-Cubs game on September 23, 1998 which featured two Sammy Sosa home runs and (in later innings) a Brewers' comeback from a 7-0 deficit. The final play of the game can be seen here. (I've put this in off-topic on purpose. I don't mean this post as any kind of karmic statement. I just am in half-disbelief that a decade has passed since that game.)

    Monroe Optimist cheese curds are the bomb. End of debate.

    That sounds correct to me. We usually go to the last home game of the season, so we were among the 13,000 who'd paid for the game to begin with. We got a voucher for a "best available" seat for an April game the following season. We landed in section 112 for that freebie and had a great time. I believe Chris Capuano was looking into my soul that night - the angle was just right. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif The following season's last game came with a voucher for a "comparable value" seat at an April game the next year. Not quite as cool, but we still accepted the freebie. Of course, a bigger crowd will only reduce our odds of winning a fabulous prize Thursday night.

    Not embeddable, but clickable. Never surrender!

    Yeah, can we root "against the Mets" (which is how I prefer to look at it) without the song? It would be easier to stomach that way.
  18. hawing
    I just want to see what Rickie can do outside of the lead off spot. That pretty much sums up my interest in having Corey lead off. Ideally, some day, the Brewers would have someone better suited for the leadoff spot. (/pipedream)

    Ewizabeff's and others' comments in this thread make me wonder how much of a hit season ticket renewals will take for 2009. I wonder if sending out the renewals in mid-October is as advisable this year as last.

    Lineup should be: 1. Hart 2. Someone 3. Braun 4. Fielder 5. Hardy 6. Weeks 7. Cameron 8. Kendall 9. Pitcher I've been waiting for the Brewers to sign Someone. Finally! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif But really, I'm ready to be done with the Cameron-at-leadoff experiment, and I'd like to see what Rickie does outside the 1-spot. So I can get behind this lineup.

    I'm not saying anyone has to post here today - just recording what's underway. CF Mike Cameron 3B Craig Counsell LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder SS J.J. Hardy RF Corey Hart 2B Rickie Weeks C Jason Kendall RHP Seth McClung The top of the first took about seven minutes and yielded nothing for the visitors.

    I'll keep following the games (including attending those for which we have tickets). For me it beats the off-season. It'd be nice if they could at least play for pride, though.

    If you're within traveling distance of Monroe, Wisconsin, you still have about half a day left to check out Cheese Days. Your next chance is in September 2010. If you follow the link above, be sure to listen to the Cheese Days Song.

    I've wondered the same thing, if for no other reason because media mention of the injury seemed to go from "frequent" to "zero."
  25. hawing
    If it was Brian Posick's recorded/replayed report, then it was probably ESPN1070 you heard, not WIBA. We happened to have the day off when the Sabathia signing was announced, so I had 1070 on, and they started playing what was obviously the previous Friday's report ("The Brewers start a three-game series hosting Pittsburgh tonight at Miller Park..."). That gave me a start, until "live" Posick cut in and said, sorry, that was last Friday's report. I know the stations are related; just nit picking, plus reliving a memory of another repeated sports report that bugged me.
