    Where the heck can you find a Pilots Shirt nowadays? I would love to have one of those. We got it at the Mariners' team store when we were in Seattle last summer. This was during the series with the "turn back the clock" (to 1969) game. It has a Cooperstown Collection tag, which makes me wonder if you couldn't order one from mlb.com. Yeah, for a while today I was wondering if we could get our share of the Suppan contract money back. I thought Dana looked OK, though. Maybe he is one of those players who needs a change of scenery. The crowd was much bigger today than on Friday (8000+ vs. 3100 the day before), so we didn't get close to much - except I did peer into the Brewers' bullpen while T-bow was warming up. Being close enough to hear the whoooosh of the ball as he threw it by is pretty sweet. Derrick got a really nice reception from the fans. If only fan support could bring a player back. (For that matter, Craig Counsell got a standing ovation from all sides of the ballpark his first time at bat, and even a warm round of applause for his second at bat.) "Brewers fan in shades wearing neck brace," "Fat man with no expression wearing UW T-shirt." I saw the neck brace guy, and there were visiting groups both from Marquette and UW (at least, the latter group was all tricked out in red and motion Ws and such). No one at the park commented on my shirt. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif However, a Subway worker saw it after the game and asked if I followed the Brewers. So maybe I reached out a little.

    You know what peeves me? In a few hours, this site is finally going to reflect "real Central time" (for lack of a better phrase)...and at the moment I'm not only in the mountain time zone, but in the one state where DST is not observed. I've all but accepted that I'm going to lose track of time at least once over the next few days.

    Coming straight to you from Phoenix, today's IGT. Were the Brewers silly to trade Dana? Get a small sample soon. I'll be there with a Brewerfan shirt on. My S.O. is wearing a Pilots T.

    Aye, Nestor is the man. In addition to his game ending hit today, he seemed to approach his several throw-out-the-runner attempts with spring training gusto. Perhaps you could say he's a battler. I had complete confidence in the Brewers' ability to come back as soon as I saw Wayne Franklin take the mound for the opposition. Mark Attanasio sat at the front of the section we were in. He left in the middle innings (with a handler, so I didn't feel comfortable trying to hail him or anything) and walked within a foot of me. Woot. Also, for those of you scoring at home, the Chorizo won the sausage race.

    The same reunion update from the Journal Sentinel says Bro owns a painting business in California.

    I don't care if the broadcast ended 90 minutes ago. The game shown tonight was Mark Brouhard's moment in the sun. Or it would have been, had it not been raining off and on the whole time. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif http://www.baseballcardproject.com/Fleer/R/1983/28.jpg Love ya, Bro! (by the way, he's going to be 51 in May)

    I still think Disney Angels is more succinct and accurate. Brian, where are you getting these pitcher pictures?

    7. Braun homers to deeeeeep left-center. Hart, Hardy, Rivera, and Braun Score. 11-7 Brewers Nicely conveyed, Brian. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I am classified as being a "storehouse of useless information" Woo-hoo, FTJ, you could be a librarian. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    It was the '82 ALCS vs. the Angels - which is contrary to the originally stated schedule. But they also swapped the pink bat game with another game on the schedule, so I guess it's all subject to change.

    Wow - if Claudio Vargas is always that out of focus when he pitches, he should be wildly successful. Or perhaps successfully wild. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Pitchleague, I'll split the residuals with you (for suggesting that you put that line in your sig file). You can even have 66%. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Edit: So many good choices, I don't know which to pick. Knowledge = Power or the 25s slogan? Baseball jersey, T-shirt, throw pillow or dog shirt? I'm going to have to sleep on this critical decision.

    It did not. However, the MVP award was presented to two players (Bill Madlock and Jon Matlack). Bowie Kuhn was saying that this had never happened before, and I turned to the S.O. and commented on how all-star games in Milwaukee apparently keep breaking new ground.

    I just didn't want to see this left out (though you could argue that it's more of a baseball classic than specifically a Brewers Classic). The first half hour featured player introductions (by Bob Betts - awfully nice to hear his voice again), Glen Campbell singing the national anthem and graphics that I'm sure were state of the art 31 1/2 years ago. Oh, and tons and tons of yellow from all those all-star A's. And Jerry Reuss' hair. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Also, all the fans are dressed up (suits/ties and dresses). I know that was de reguieur back in the day - my mother has told me about how everyone dressed to the hilt for the '55 ASG - but by the 1970s I would have expected the dress code for outdoor activities to have relaxed a bit. Henry Kissinger is in the Stadium. I haven't seen Bud. This is an interesting peek back in time. Edit: Irritatingly, I didn't notice it was set to run 3 hours until the timer on the DVR was already underway. Better get another ready...

    Maybe you're not supposed to be able to log out! Mwa ha haaaa!

    Yeah, I found this thread again. But that's not what's bugging me. During radio broadcasts of Badger sporting events, there's this commercial for the UW for which the focus is the line "I see UW people" (spoken kind of like the "I see dead people" movie line). Kid looks in his cereal bowl and tells Mom "I see UW people" (who discovered how to produce vitamin D). Mom pooh-poohs kid, then peeks in his bowl and stage whispers, "I see UW people." Who came up with that? It fails to do anything but bug me.

    Ask at the bar for the Brewerfan group. See y'all tonight!

    If you go to your EZboard inbox, you can still create a message and manually address it to Brian the Automator (or whatever other poster). Once everyone is in Yuku, this particular weirdness ought to subside. (Right?) At least, the weirdness caused by some posters having migrated to Yuku and others remaining in ezboard.

    Sheets Futures Bobble? Peavey, that was a giveaway at the 2002 Futures game, early in the All-Star festivities. Bobbledude and billyhallfan, please consider taking your discussion to your inboxes.

    You don't hear Wisconsinites doing this anymore. Surely not in April. I think I watched this game at Union South. (Whippersnapper alert: Not every dorm room had a TV Back Then, and since I lived in what was then an all-female dorm, there wasn't as much interest in watching sports on the lounge TV. Not when you could watch VH-1 or girly fare.)

    It's a meet & greet... I thought newbies were given the stat tests. No, really, it's just a nice hangout opportunity. Plus you can see for yourself how closely Brian the Automator resembles his avatar picture. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Wow, A little over 3 hours elapsed before someone made the inevitable "devastated" statement. I'm surprised it took so long, but am grateful to AJAY for stepping up. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    This must be why they included this game in the "classics": we're more likely to appreciate the present if we get occasional reminders of the dark years. (That scraping noise you hear is me at the bottom of the barrel, looking for an answer that makes more sense.)
  24. hawing
    Plus Bill laid out all the highlights right from the start. Down 9-2 in the ninth, comeback to force extra innings, and a Jose K walkoff in the 10th. OK...so why watch before 8:30 or so? if that early?

    I never got a Uecker nesting doll set, Peavey, so let's talk (maybe via PM, since this really isn't a site "issue").
