Hey! Tyler held the Blue Jays scoreless longer than Randy Wolf did. Sign that boy up! -
This game was in one of our 20-packs, but we traded them for tomorrow's game so we could bring the younger nephew (6) and his dad. So good luck, Tyler.
-
Nice. It will also take six hours. Just to stoke the fire a bit more, here's Adam McCalvy's latest tweet: I'd like to think Adam isn't cruel enough to say that if he knows it's McVargas or some component thereof.

Aren't you looking forward to Rock in Twitter text? I know I am.
-
Well, great googly moogly. Again.
-
Wolfottaras Monday, everybody. Plus two national anthems before the game.

The Red Sox were playing at Yankee Stadium when we took the Fenway tour in 2008. It (the rivalry) was almost all the tour guide could talk about. I'll be interested to see if you have a similar experience.
-
We have tickets to three games in that homestand, but not the 18th. Don't worry, kalle8, I'm thinking of ways you and we can connect during the games we have in common.
-
After experiencing two of the KC games in person, I'd have had my money on bases-loaded HBP. But anyway. Let us not speak of 2/3 of this road trip ever again.
-
As a bonus, Matt Capps takes the loss.
-
Yuni, Yuni, Yuniyuniyuni. We meet again. I don't know how to feel. Should FS Wisconsin happen to show anyone in a Kottaras shirt, it could be me.

Well, I've been working on this "thirty pitches of terror" nickname for K-Rod, but tonight he only needed eight to dash hopes. There was a nice turnout of Brewers fans, even one with a Branyan shirsey; and the guys behind us from Ashwaubenon didn't start insulting us when they found out we're librarians. The public address audio was out for part of the early innings, which was interesting. The Royals' knockoff mascot race is extremely lame (all hot dogs, with Ketchup, Mustard and Relish to distinguish them on the videoboard). When the audio was working, the announcer kept saying "MAR-tin" Maldonado instead of "Mar-TEEN," and he completely avoided the whole Norichika thing by just saying Nori Aoki. I miss the hot-hitting version of George Kottaras. I also would have given Martin a chance to bat in the 9th, as being effective with two runners on appears to be his specialty. I do enjoy watching Zack pitch, though, apparently enough to travel states away to see it in person. Ryan got more cheers than boos where we were sitting, though late in the game there was one guy who angrily shouted JUICER, just once. Not sure where his anger was the first few at-bats.

My guess is Estrada Marco Estrada is one of the big hair guys with zebra stripe tights. He's got the purple hair in the photo of four guys (Kottaras, Estrada, Ax, Loe) in reply #9 of this thread.

The hawing household road trip to Kansas City is underway! We are staying in a hotel near the ballpark (as are other Wisconsinites, based on a peek at the parking lot cars) and hope to catch some of the Brewers' batting practice. I have no 80s gear to join in with their dress-up theme from yesterday, but I do have a ball-glove cap (purchased in the 21st century). Had I known they were going to go 80s, I would have 100% brought my circa-1987 Brewers painter's cap, which still exists. Saw a billboard along the highway, and I wish we hadn't been at highway speed so I'd have time to snap it. It's a Royals ad which says EXPERIENCE next to a photo of Ned. Anyone got messages for me to pass on to either the ex- or current Brewers, post them here!

Geez, you guys. I hope the narrator has an English accent. Australian would be acceptable. I could get started on the threats to my natural habitat, but that probably belongs in the political scene.

We got there, sweated a lot (maybe mostly in the 9th despite being in the shade), and managed to improve the hawing 2012 record to 5-9 (which somehow sounds more manageable than 4-10). Crazy jersey/shirsey sightings included a signed Ben Hendrickson special, a retro BRATWURST 1, and about a billion variations on Morgan/Plush/@TheRealTPlush. I did temporarily make over my Villanueva shirsey into a Maldonado, which I guess turned out to be the right call. Since thablingster was kind enough to take a couple of photos of the shirt on my back, I've got images, but only on Facebook at the moment. Seems it used to be doable to copy one photo from Facebook, but I don't see the link for doing that anymore.
-
So now the Brewers are 8-3 in their last eleven games. Our last two games attended were two of the losses.
-
Gotta go with Aoki. Also, please take pictures, if you can change Villanueva unto Maldonado I would be very impressed. Well, see, for Aoki I was thinking of using the Japanese characters since I have visual samples from the calligraphy lineup cards. What I find compelling about a Villa to Maldo switch is I don't think Maldonado shirseys are being sold. I have seen Aoki shirseys in the team store. For these 'conversions' I wasn't going to be super fancy, just cover up the previous player's name and fill in new letters/characters. I wasn't going to try to make them in the Times New Roman font or anything. It'd just be nice to find a new use for two old shirts. Last Sunday, John Steinmiller of the Brewers tweeted a picture he took of me in my Stetter shirsey ($5 clubhouse sale special from last winter), and I'll still be sitting in front of the press box this Sunday. So a photo is not impossible.
-
I thought I'd swing by a hardware store Saturday for some blue tape, so I can convert my Hardy and Villanueva shirseys to Aoki and Maldonado. But which player should I rep at this Sunday's game?
-
1992casey was at my library today. He has now seen where the magic happens.

It would have been hilarious if BA and Rock had been interviewing a just-signed OF prospect that half inning. "So, Clint...how are you in CF? You've got a jersey already..."
-
I'd guess that Prince is getting a chunk of votes from Brewers fans. It is interesting that that nostalgia factor of a player's former fanbase crossing over is not working for Albert. The STL cult is certainly coming through for Lance, though. (And I say that with complete acknowledgement that Milwaukee fans are casting plenty of barely-rational if not irrational votes themselves. ) I wonder how many of the votes for Berkman are actually "take THAT, Albert!" votes.

It's a shame that the images of cheese sandwiches did not survive the site migrations that have occurred since 2004.

I tried to reach madison dot com this morning (Wisconsin State Journal / Capital Times website) and after having trouble getting to the page I wanted to begin with, got a "you have used your five free pages in 30 days/gotta register" screen. I did some googling and found a page (which I can't access without registration) that Google suggests was posted ONE DAY AGO by madison.com. Nice job on the advance notice. Even the Journal Sentinel gave a few weeks' advance. So I'm actually furious at the moment, but expect that to settle back to a more customary "bugged."
