    Since the Off Topic forum gets a little more traffic (and I think that's where past clubhouse sale threads reside), I've started a 2012 clubhouse sale thread there: http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=29150

    Let's use this thread for information and questions about the Brewers' 2012 clubhouse sale, since the Off Topic forum gets a little more traffic than the Trading Post. Bernie Brewer has tweeted to several fans this year's dates: Friday, November 30 and Saturday, December 1. More details will probably be available by this time next week. It's pretty much my Black Friday (Blue Friday?), just without the getting up at dawn (or staying up super late) and throwing elbows.

    The 2012 sale is November 30 and December 1 (Friday-Saturday).

    Isn't that what Dempster calls his pre-pitch glove waggle? That glove waggle/flippy dippy alone makes me cringe at the thought of the Brewers signing him. I can see the perfect storm forming right now: Dempster signs with the Brewers Stars cruelly align so the hawing party sees a disproportionate number of Dempster starts hawing tries to find a way to avoid looking at the flippy dippy but on every single pitch it's hard Flippy Dippy becomes Dempster's new nickname . . . profit?? or else I lose my mind.

    If this forum is worth its salt in any way, we'll find a use for flippy-dippy beyond this thread. (Boob lube might result in site blockage for some users.) Don't let me down, fellas.

    Don't forget the "motion font" style uniform number. My apologies if Michael from Kaukauna is one of you guys, but I've yet to see a use of the motion font (outside of UW) that doesn't make me cringe.

    I'm bumping this on November 16 to remind 2012 season ticket customers that today is your last day to renew early enough to choose an early renewal perk. Besides the plethora of perkness that ewizabeff mentioned a few posts back for full season customers, partial season customers (20-pack and up) can choose one of: NYCE club passes Ticket upgrade vouchers Meeting with and signed baseball from one of Gallardo, Gomez, Hart or Lucroy at an event to be scheduled in 2013. Based on my geekout level over meeting Corey Hart at a similar event in 2008, we decided to opt for the meeting this time. I ranked the players in '08, so the SO took a turn this time and is hoping for Carlos Gomez.

    The November 30/December 1 dates are confirmed via Bernie Brewer tweet this morning:

    http://mlblogsbrewers.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/spring-training-schedule-20131.pdf Fun fact that only arises in World Baseball Classic years: The Brewers will play on my (late February) birthday in 2013!

    I've long speculated that if Dan Uggla were ever a Brewer, I'd probably get on his bandwagon, if only for that home run call. It's not compelling enough for me to flat out advocate for his signing, but if it ever happened, I would accept it and might get a shirsey. This blog partly addresses why I don't hate Dan Uggla: http://blownsavewin.com/?p=2788

    I asked our rep when we renewed for 2013. He thinks it's November 30/December 1 (with an early sale opportunity for season seat holders on November 29) but wasn't 100% certain. Those dates would match the pattern of recent years, at least. I've penciled in November 30 as a day off but haven't put it in ink yet.

    I'm not against thinking big, but I can't help but think the timing of the Final Four would not mesh well with the baseball season.

    OK, all ten bobbles have been publicly identified by the Brewers, and the lead post of this thread includes the list. Those of you who waited to comment, go for it now (while observing forum etiquette, of course).

    For me, that's linking to a tweet from Mitch Stetter stating that he has signed a deal with the Angels. /baseball heart breaking I think you meant this.

    I just did a Google search to make sure that Geritol still exists. (It does.) I don't think I've seen a Geritol commercial in decades.

    So they would call us for the debt of an unrelated third party? The third party has the same first name as my SO, but their surnames are extremely different. It's not like we knew this guy so well that we'd have co-signed a loan with him or something. My concern was that somewhere along the line he might have listed our phone number (without our knowledge or consent) as a way to reach him. That would seriously piss me off, not to mention further justify why we ended the friendship in '05.

    http://brewers.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20121108&content_id=40204408&vkey=news_mil&c_id=mil Kenny Chesney's 2013 tour includes a stop at Miller Park. Not my cup of musical tea, but it's nice for country fans. The concert is on a Saturday night and the Brewers' next home game is the following Monday night.

    I was thinking last night that if we called back, it would just signal to the collection agency that ours was a valid (as in, someone answers there, though not that we have any idea how to contact their target) number and matters would just be made worse. Plus, I'd forgotten about it all day until I had a chance to peek at this thread just now.

    Wow! I was at that game and probably not more than 20 yards from you and this story. I remember telling the friend I was with "not to worry about ever seeing a perfect game--you'll be able to tell your grand kids you were there when Craig Counsell hit a grand slam!" That was a fun game. Aw, I wish I'd known you were there. I remember the Nats fans around us being all down in the dumps in the top of the first, when Jason Marquis didn't record an out until Doug Davis batted. I was thinking to myself, don't worry, folks - Sharpie is equally capable of giving up a ten-spot. And he almost did! just not all in one inning.

    So tonight when we got home the voice mail thing was flashing, again, on the phone. This time it wasn't a political call, but a mysterious call from what appears to be a student loan collection agency for a former (like 20 years ago) coworker. It's supposedly urgent that we call back. The individual for whom they're calling used to be a friend, but we had a fairly major falling out in 2005 and he moved out of state soon after. My question (since I don't have a history of delinquent debts and thus no experience with loan collectors): Is it common for collection agencies to dig deep enough so they try to reach individuals through past acquaintances, or does this contact mean this guy actually supplied our home phone number to someone as a way to get hold of him? I'm not thrilled about either option, but if it proves to be the latter, then this guy might want to count his blessings that he's out of state, because if I could reach him I'd give him a piece of my mind. I mean, what the hell?

    My lasting memory of Travis Ishikawa will be a game in May when he leaned into row 1 of section 110 to catch a foul ball. We were seated in row 2, not 10 feet away. A photo of this appeared in a mid-season Gameday program, and I look like I'm hoping not to get creamed. The fan into whose seat Travis leaned was getting concession food, otherwise he might have been creamed.

    We've been relying on the Weather Channel when political ads come up...which of course is often.

    Oh, wow. My SO's sister-in-law is going to LOVE this.

    We were at the Brewers-Nationals series in WSH in April 2010. For the third game (featuring the Counsell Crush), we sat just left of the batter's eye in what was kind of a club level (padded seats & in-seat menu). A guy in front of us had his season tickets there and sported a signed Nyjer Morgan jersey. He was a nice guy, too - talked down a couple of WSH fans who were questioning Carlos Gomez's manhood, and took a couple of photos of me and the SO after the game. I'd love to find that fan again and swap Nyjer Morgan stories (maybe even also STL hatred stories). Another glimpse into Nyjer as good guy: this past May we got a surprise upgrade (417 to 110) from the season ticket window. This guy behind us was holding up his young son while players warmed up on the field. Nyjer saw them, jogged over, said "How you doin', Chief?" to the kid and gave him a signed ball. I don't think the kid quite got the significance of it, but the dad sure did.

    From that link (emphasis added by me): They couldn't find a HOSPITAL that was open. Riiiight. Now I feel a little bit dirty for rooting for the guy. Do not want.
