hawing

How many tools has Zack displayed tonight? Pitching, hitting for power, defense.

Just as an FYI, the Tenant Resource Center lost a chunk of its funding last year and had to reduce service hours. So you might not hear back as promptly as you'd like: http://www.forwardlookout.com/2011/11/tenant-resource-center-further-reduces-services/13396 (Sorry for the left-ish link. The other link I found describing the reductions was from madison.com and I didn't want you to get stuck registering/paying to see that.)

I don't know, but it's certainly reminiscent of how often Luc got a full game off in 2011.

Would you rather see them stop trying? I prefer to see competitive games even during seasons that don't yield big-time promise.

I'll admit to knowing nothing outside this thread about Delgado, but ever since the Jose Capellan experiment, I've been wary of any pitching prospect the Braves are willing to give up.

It doesn't look like Kameron made things worse.

Nice. Rosanna's going to love that.

Sorry about the delay, folks. I was trying to finish laundry before the game and obviously didn't succeed.

You are entitled to your opinion; but when you state it ad infinitum on the forum, game after game, it gets beyond old for much of this audience. I think you can feel confident that Brewerfan readers will remember your general take on Ron Roenicke even if you express it less frequently. I say that as both a member and an administrator.

50/50 was Graf's, and Sour Pow'r was Jolly Good. Bummer that they both seem to be unavailable anymore.

The Cardinals manage with Rzepczynski, but that's not quite as long. On the down side (for me), Francisco Cordero's going to be in my grill again. But maybe he'll continue to stink like he did with the Reds vs. Milwaukee last year, she said hopefully.

I would get a shirsey for that guy just for the surname.

I woke up to the radio broadcasting the news about the theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado. The only people I know who live in that area are a couple I went to college with for one year, back in the day, before I transferred to UW-Madison. I knew they lived in one of the A suburbs of Denver, but couldn't remember if it was Aurora. So I googled the wife's name, found nothing; googled the husband's name, and found out that they moved to Vermont earlier this year and are now living in a yurt, on property they purchased using funds from the sale of their Colorado home and the separation $ from the husband's recent layoff. They're going to farm the land and live as much off the grid as they can. I just finished reading the blog they are maintaining. Thus, they definitely weren't in Aurora, Colorado overnight, which is possibly a good thing for multiple reasons. Besides, I was wrong; they'd lived in Arvada.

I'm torn -- do we honor the sausage race & go with Klement's? Or do we go with Ueck & Usinger's? I guess you could get Klement's inside the park... so maybe Usinger's is the way to go... Kalle and Rosanna are going to seven games in seven days. It's not like they won't have other chances at Klement's in that span. Does that make it easier to go Usinger's? Incidentally, if any of you has club level access on Thursday, August 16, Kalle and Rosanna will be sitting in section 323 with me and my S.O. Tom. Stop by and behold Kalle's first live Brewers game!

With Front Row Amy included in this thread, even I can refer to it as "girls on Brewerfan my age."

Central and south Madison hit the rain lottery this morning. The airport on the north side of town got almost nothing.

"Recharging batteries" isn't always strictly a physical phenomenon. If he is as reliant on routine as some past reports have indicated, the recent disruption might have messed him up some. This is 100 percent speculation on my part, backed up a bit by my experiences with my own anxiety disorder (which I suspect is less severe than Zack's).

Ah, should have looked here first. I've posted the tweet in the Shopping Greinke thread as well. Time will tell, I guess. Though dangit, today is not a day when I have a lot of time to monitor the internets. (first world problem)

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere on the forum, but Mike Vassallo of the Brewers just tweeted this: link to tweet:

I'm going with "they were too shocked to celebrate." I predicted the IBB to Rickie to get to Cody, and frankly if I were Clint Hurdle I would have taken that route too. That was nice, though.

That was a fun game to take in yesterday. Lake breeze (or some breeze) kept the weather reasonable. Yovani (Sr.) was on his game - the Brewers had to resort to the K signs Bernie used to manually hang on his dugout railing since the pitchers combined for more than 15. It was also Family Day, which meant some pregame play time for the kids of players and staff. Seeing Yovani Jr. on the mound was so sweet I feared for my diabetic S.O.

I was looking through the Gameday program from the Pirates' series and found a photo that includes me and the S.O. It's from May 8, when our ticket rep offered us a free upgrade from 417 to the second row of 110. It happened to be the night Travis Ishikawa leaned into row 1 of section 110 to catch a foul ball. We weren't visible on the video clips that aired after the game, and I look kind of dorky in the photo, but it's still a good reminder of how near we were to that play. It was exciting and interesting to see up close.

Yea, if he's going to be on tv a couple hundred times a year, he may want to look into a dentist appt. Two things about that most recent tailgate tip: 1. Wow, for once Jerry prepared something not involving brats. 2. Have his teeth always been like that? Obviously I don't pay that much attention. Man oh man.

I hope you guys will forgive me for posting what I first thought of when I saw this thread title. Hope you can make the project work! http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EYZNoRi2qpE/T6VWR9-PTgI/AAAAAAAALc4/Wlmw0-jssJE/s1600/the-carpenters.jpg
