  1. It was actually a "Bob Betts" google search that led me to the article. We were talking about him after bf.net softball last night. Drive! Home! Safely! Thankyou!
  2. This is more of a diversion than strictly "major leagues", in my opinion. Besides, it mentions the Seligs. (rimshot) While poking around today I stumbled across an onmilwaukee.com list from 2002: 100 things the Brewers must do to turn it around Have a look and enjoy. Some of the items seem to have actually been accomplished since 2002! Here are a few of my favorites: 1. Replace or complement the Selig family with seasoned sports business people. 2. Develop a farm team. 16. Trade anyone for Jeff Cirillo. 54. Bobble heads, bobble heads, bobble heads. 83. Stop platooning so damn much. 91. Part ways with "Senior Smoke" Valerio De Los Santos. (Yeah, it's spelled Senior in the article.)
  3. Yeah it was. I can't understand why they moved it so late. It used to be a two inning affair. They'd give you the choices and then a half inning to count everyone in the park. Perhaps the Wisconsin Lottery asked for (what they thought was) a more prime-time viewing spot when they began sponsoring 'guess today's attendance.' I'm not saying I like it, but it's a possibility.
  4. Al, GRE = Graduate Record Examination. Here is the wikipedia entry.
  5. I certainly hope they get #57 tonight. Take that, 2002 demons!
  6. Wow, that Mr. Red was smiling all the way to being crushed by that giant rock. Nice touch.

  8. That's the spirit, pitchleague!
  9. Weeks Counsell Braun Fielder Mench Jenkins Miller Gwynn Gallardo Is this lineup missing enough "starters" to qualify as a forfeit lineup?
  10. Looks nice, JumpinMacFlash. But we're ready for your return anytime, wOOgiE. C'mon, Brewers. Don't make us break out the fuchsia text again!
  11. My library has both of the books JimH refers to. Send me a PM if you need information on how to borrow.
  12. That had to have been Balfour's last opportunity to do anything on this team this year - at least I hope so. Yeah. Offensive issues notwithstanding, Balfour takes me back to the "Wheel of Relievers" of 2006. That is a bad thing.
  13. I'm trying to not have expectations of any sort. We'll see how long I can keep that up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  14. Sorry, I should have used blue font to better express my point. (Does a thread about the Cubs belong in "Major" Leagues? /rimshot/)
  15. We could move the thread. Does it really belong in Major Leagues?
  16. he is on a 50 pitch-count for the rest of his career. I know what you're saying, but that kind of sounds like he'll have to retire after 50 more in-game throws. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  17. In addition to the sympathies expressed on this thread already, I feel for the player who hit the liner. What a tragic accident.
  18. http://www2.jsonline.com/sports/brew/image/2000/may/wick510.jpg
  19. We've been spotted again! Hmm. Of the three posts currently on the page to which you linked, one appears to be displaying pride for a Piniella meltdown, one has the screen name Jim Sorgi, and one is hoping that Ryan Braun pulls a muscle "clean off the bone." I'm not impressed.
  20. Brian, that's the exact image I was about to post. Clearly, great minds think alike. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  21. Thanks for stepping up, Sgt. Nice Zito photo, too. AVOID! THE! SWEEP!
  22. who's the guy who's got the Brant Brown avatar? every time i see it i laugh. That'd be tomwopat. Here's the link to the full clip.
  23. Ugh, thanks for the reminder - of both Rally Rabbit 2.0 and Sandy Maxx. The first Rally Rabbit was OK but the second one didn't do much besides flip his shades up and down.
  24. Ryan Braun's in the Wisconsin State Journal, too. They talk to his mom (who's also a brewer!), but sadly include no endearing baby photos.
  25. I know, we'd rather see a 27 tonight; but it took me a while to find this: http://www.jimyackel.com/28DeLosSantos.JPG
