    Like burniebrewer (and before I saw that it was Peavey's post), I too wondered, why post about the Sounds in off-topic, and this long after the season ended?

    If the Brewers had won 11-2 tonight, many of us would be concerned that they'd used up all their runs for the series. Why couldn't that happen to the Reds?
  3. hawing
    I was just thinking, this doesn't seem as far outside the box as it did on Tuesday, does it? Well, Brewers, for all that is good and holy...tonight would be a prime night to go 1-0.

    Good one! I'm glad we can still find funny things to say about even Thursday's game.Oh, and STL did hang on, winning 12-6. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/indifferent.gif

    Your rant was inspirational though, no doubt. Good work.It was also quite lucid - not bad, given your apparent level of intoxication at the time.

    Every little bit helps.

    Avast! Friday, September 19 is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! Link 1 (ITLAPD website) Link 2 (pirate joke generator) Link 3 (what's your pirate name?) If I had a Toyota Yarrrrrrris, I'd drive it all over town today.

    Ohhh, I remember that. St. Croix Falls. Obviously, Bernie Crewer is from Columbus. I guess this is where the Brewers pick themselves up, dust themselves off and keep trying? Sorry, that's all I've got.

    WIBA sports was bugging me this morning. They often play radio highlights (or lowlights) of the previous day's Brewer game, and I had braced myself this morning for Bob's call of the Soto HR...and instead it was the Hughes/Santo call on WGN. Fortunately my reflexes were awake enough at 6:15 to lunge for the radio and turn it off. Is it too much to hope that a Brewers Radio Network affiliate could refrain from additional kicks to Brewers fans while they're already down?

    I salute your optimism, BCU, even if I find it difficult to fully share at this moment. So, do you have any insight on which game is going to be the loss? I'm just wondering if it's one of the games we have tickets to.
  11. hawing
    I'd like to think that next week's ticket holders who are so angry about the Brewers' dismal September that they are planning to boo...would just do the rest of us a favor and bypass those games. But the "home field disadvantage" conversation elsewhere on this forum has me just about giving up on that. I can't think of circumstances that would make me want to boo the Brewers. I just don't roll that way. I also can't think of anything else to add to this thread that won't restart the whole boo vs. don't boo argument.

    For me, a bad day at the ballpark (like, say, today) is still better than a good day most other places. I find I'm generally happier during baseball season than during the off-season. So, I'm still in. (I'm still not as eagerly awaiting the game on the 28th, though.)

    Maybe attention spans are that much shorter nowadays?

    Dear Dave Bush: Keep the Brewers in the game. That's all I ask today. Thanks! Hugs, hawing

    Thanks for the efforts, guys. This morning I managed to stop the video at a clearer spot - it chops off my screen name and the top of the kool-aid pitcher, but the "Never surrender" line is clear. However, I don't know what to do from that point to get a screen capture.
  16. hawing
    Hawing, your new avatar should be the screen shot of your current avatar on TV. That would be trippy. That was exactly my idea, RyDogg. I don't know how to do the screen shot, though, which is why I was hinting at tech support.

    So I was hanging out on our front porch, reading the paper, and all of a sudden it smells like cigar smoke. I looked out and didn't see anyone at first. Then I noticed a guy sitting on our retaining wall, yakking on his cell phone and puffing a stogie. Not anyone we recognized (i.e. not a neighbor). He left before we had a chance to ask him to move along. How rude is that? The ironic thing is that cell phone reception on our block is notoriously crappy, so I don't know how the guy had a signal at all.

    Then perhaps you will consider it for the best if you and I never meet in person, Buckhunts. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I think it takes a certain personality type to be as "in your face" as many of the Cub fans who typically travel to MP and bug a lot of us in the process. If you have a high tolerance for taking a lot of crap, and the ability to give the crap back, I salute you. Not everyone does, and it doesn't make them less of a fan. I don't think it's a matter of "manning up." How to contend with Cub fans at MP has been a recurring topic on Brewerfan, as well as how/whether to contend with opening day fans. I guess we will have a not-necessarily-harmonic convergence of both issues next spring, and surely more discussions of each. I am not fond of either Cub fans (at least, the type who tend to descend upon MP) or the extreme drunkfest that Opening Day tends to be. My S.O. feels the same way, we typically pass on the home opener as a result, and likely will in 2009. I understand the importance of keeping the tickets out of the hands of Cub fans. As 20-game ticket holders, if we select tickets to that game, I expect to offer them on this site, as we did in 2008, so that they stay in the hands of confirmed Brewers fans. That is my way of trying to be part of the solution without driving myself up the wall.
  19. hawing
    Well, so far I dislike the thought of having to either wait until April 13 to return to my beloved Miller Park, or put up once more with the cub nation that typically takes over MP.
  20. hawing
    Actually, the crueler joke might be receiving the tickets next week. At least the Brewers hadn't quite been eliminated when the 2007 postseason tickets were mailed.

    Being the passionate, knowledgeable and creative part of the Brewers' fanbase that we are, we should probably be the ones to name the law that decrees that whenever an ex-Brewer has the opportunity to bite the Brewers in the butt, he will do so - whether in the field, at the plate or on the mound. (And someday, maybe even from the dugout. I know - ouch - but in a world where Wes Helms can do it and Henry Blanco can do it...) We need the equivalent of a Murphy's Law name. Anyway - SF, I applaud you for realizing when you need to step away (even if it's maybe a wee bit later than you 'should' have). No one is immune to having his or her perspective get out of whack. We'll be here when you're ready to return.

    I'll echo the comments of others; at least in this game the Brewers seemed relatively awake. The opponent, venue and time of season all make the game hurt more, but I did not detect the same, team-wide malaise that seemed to be all over the Phillies series. There are plenty of ways to express frustration that don't include pointless name-calling. I don't want to see this again.
  23. hawing
    Of all the things that could pierce my bad mood this morning, and make me crack a smile...gotta tell you, I didn't think this would be it. Can anyone make a screen grab of my avatar in the video? I know some of you are more savvy at that kind of thing than I am. Maybe I'll make it my new avatar. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Oh, and nice work, Jamie. Glad to see you're running the site now!

    This is not a good night for MLB to tease me. Though - not to burst your bubble, gypcasino - the purple prose doesn't say CC would necessarily be returning to Progressive Field as a member of the Brewers.
  25. hawing
    Maybe the video is what will be on their website after the 10:00 news?
