  1. wolves...
  2. Why didn't you just strap it to the roof? Sounds like the perfect solution to me...
  3. I'm usually not a big prediction guy, mainly because whenever we start predicting stuff it usually never happens. But I will say that AZ and Pitt both win tonight, or at least go the the 7th inning with leads. The only problem is, I think all 3 of the teams battling for the nl central will lose tonight... Man I hope one of those I am wrong on... go crew!
  4. Ned said the other day that he was managing like every game is his last game. This line up shows he is for real... at least for now. This should be the line-up every day against righties unless one of them not named Fielder or Braun suddenly goes in a 2 for 25 slump or something. Substitute Hall for Gross, switch a few guys in the order, and there is your every day line up against lefties. Question is: Do you start Mench of Jenkins against Lefties??? If it's a really nasty lefty, I may lean towards Mench, but otherwise I may stick with Geoff
  5. Me too, but everytime I have been giddy this year, the Crew has let me down big time! So I am no longer giddy... lol
  6. all of those are good shows. i try to record them when i can. best dam 50 shots is good too. i find myself not agreeing with some of their rankings though... oh well
  7. subway: 6" turkey on wheat provo cheese lettuce little light mayo or: 6" sweet onion chicken teriaki on wheat lettuce sweet onion sauce cousins: turkey cheese lettuce mayo
  8. I want a Cardinals sweep or maybe losing 1 game. We still have 3 games against St. Louis to make up later...
  9. I see what you are saying Pitch, but if it is a matter of Sheets getting us into the Playoffs and risk dropping the first 2 games of a series on the road, as opposed to trying to get Sheets ready for game 1 while putting the playoffs at risk all together... I will take down 0-2 in the playoffs every time. Speaking of playoffs... I think Miller Park would be the loudest stadium EVER if the Brewers make it there. I heard that Mets series was a big time playoff atmosphere, and that was nowhere near as big of a game...
  10. I also caddied at Westmoor, from 1996 until 2003 (I think). The rates went from $13/ a round up to $21. So after a few years, I was making $35-$50 a round, which is great money (especially cash, under the table). I was lucky to move up to an A caddy in a few months and to an Honor Caddy later in the year. I also started working in the bagroom when I turned 16, and since I was there so much the "draw" was something I never had to deal with. I pretty much just picked whoever I wanted or was requested most of the time. lol. It was always fun watching the A and B caddies who got there an hour early hoping to get a good draw. haha. Plus, when working in the bagroom, the free golf on Mondays turned into Free Golf any day of the week after a certain time of day. In the last few years I was there, I probably played 5-7 rounds there a week! One cool story: I caddied for a lawyer (a well-known lawyer in Milwaukee), and I started helping him with his game throughout the round. I had him a few more times after that, and when he found out that I didn't have a good putter, gave me $20 after the round and told me to pick out any putter I wanted in the Pro-Shop. So that $20 round turned into almost a $300 round!!! I still feel bad about picking such an expensive putter, but I still have that putter to this day. (And it happens to be the putter Tiger Woods started using later that summer)... Burnie, when did you caddy there? Different family members of mine caddied there in the 70's and 90's. I actually had the all time points record for a caddy until I was forced to quit...
  11. I began caddying at the old age of 12. I did that through high school, along with a job in the winter starting when I was 14. Also have done food service, catering, vending, bartending and reffing. Now work as an Engineer...
  12. I dont understand why we need a new catcher now. I think that all may stem from people thinking Estrada was going to come in and produce McCann or Martin type numbers. Look, I understand that he swings at 95% of the first picthes he sees. And many of the times its a groundout or a pop-up. But most other catchers in the league dont produce as well as Johnny does, they just strike out, ground out or pop up in 5 pitches instead of one or two. And on some of those first pitches, he is hitting sharp singles and some doubles. Dont get me wrong, Estrada's plate discipline can be very frustrating as well as his inability to throw out runners. But if you look at catchers who would come in and hands down produce significantly better than Johnny, there is no chance we are getting any of them. My point is that Estrada is still in the better half of the catchers in the NL. He is a switch hitter, isnt terrible with the bat, and he is very durable. Look at how many times a game that dude gets jacked in the mask, arms, feet, legs, dingleberries, etc by foul balls every day, and he is never injured. Bottom line: If he improves his plate discipline for next year and throw out a few more runners, I am happy with Estrada as our catcher in '08. good God it could be much worse...
  13. Casino- Ive been to that site a dozen times, but I havent found the place that says when a particular area will get it. I live in the Tosa Village, where can I see when I can get it? Also, I entered in a few addresses that I know can get ATT U-verse, but every time it comes back with the same message saying service isn't available yet. So maybe I can get it now after all...
  14. Thanks for your help. What city do you live in?
  15. WOW. Thanks.Not to keep bothering you, but do you have any idea how much and HD box is? And what about DVR? If I can somehow get the 200 package, HD, DVR, and either Pro or Elite internet speed for less than or around $100, I will be checking in on ATT every week until they service my area!!!
  16. trwi7, how much do u pay a month? do you have HD? which package did you get (the 200, 400 etc)? Which internet speed did you choose? (express, pro, etc) im paying $140+ per month for Time Warner Cable and RRunner and am looking for a better deal...
  17. I have heard that if you can get it up and running, it is a better value than TWC. I used to live in a 4-family house with a roomate. we were in apartment 1 and my landlord was right across from us in appt 2. He kept TWC but had ATT come install their digital cable (it was a u-verse package or whatever) to check it out. Well they came over and installed it, and it worked great. He said the picture was great, better DVR, etc. Then he left to go to a Brewer game, came home, and no cable. After calling and playing phone tag several times, this is what happened: They said he could no longer get cable because only apartments 1 and 3 could get their cable. appts 2 and 4 could not. he told them they already installed it in his apartment, but they told him initially they thought he was apartment 1. basically it was a typo. i know that makes no sense, but bottom line is they would not let him have ATT cable because he was not in the right unit, even though they did literally install it in his unit, and even though we all share 1 basement and the cables are like 15 feet from each other. the worst part is they cut the TWC lines when they installed new cables for the ATT. So when my landlord couldnt get cable, he called them 10 times to get them to re-hook up TWC. But they told him they are not allowed to touch TWC's cables. even though they already did! lol they eventually came and fixed the cables, but he was without cable for like 5 days. ok the point of this was not to scare anyone off. this was months and months ago, and he was probably one of milwaukees first customers. i looked into u-verse last night actually (i live in a new place now), and my old landlord told me that ATT probably have their stuff straightened out since then, so if you can actually get the service, its a better deal than TWC. I live 2 minutes from that 4-family house currently, but I now live in Wauwatosa. ATT u-verse is not available to me right now. bummer (my TWC and RRunner bill is over $140/month)
  18. I don't know much about Crime TV, but if you like reading about crimes, just check out the UWM police reports each month... http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/police/crimealerts.htm That can keep you busy for hours!
  19. I know this is probably too late, but let me know by 4:30 today if you want 2 tickets to the Packer Game tonight vs Jacksonville. 50 Yard line. $150 value. I would like to get $50 for the 2 tickets, but would take other offers. if you are interested, email me at ajminotte3@gmail.com by 4:30pm today -A.J. (clarified subject -TC)
  20. Yeah I have no idea where this is coming from, but if I was to guess at what his thought process is I could attribute it to one of 2 things: Jenkins has been somewhat quiet in the Arizona series and these are 2 of the very few games he has watched in the last month. Or Jenkins previous hot streaks stood out so much more because everyone else on our team sucked. He had to carry the team because he was the only one producing. Now that we have Fielder, Braun, Hardy, etc to hit HRs and carry the offensive load, Jenkins solid/great numbers dont stand out as much this year.
  21. Well I expect a full report when you return Pedro! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif
  22. I think it's pretty solid when it comes to places for rent. I say give it a shot for sure
  23. Not to offend any long-time Linkin Park fans, but I have been playing their new CD minutes to midnight lately, and it is really growing on me. It is completely different than their first CDs, featuring more of a mixture of classic rock, a r&b/hip hop mix, softer rock, and hard metal that strays away from the screaming and grunge-y type of stuff. About 75% of the songs are slower, and I think it's a GREAT change of pace. Other musicians in my 6-disk changer: Snow Patrol, AFI, Jack's Mannequin, and Plain White T's... all worth listening to IMO
  24. I have used it several times. I go there before going to ebay. I thihnk it's very reliable. I just copy the address and paste it into my email at home or work. Then you can get responses to wherever you'd like. So what are you looking for on there? just curious...
  25. Hey guys I missed the late innings of the game yesterday, and I heard on the radio this morning that Prince may have bumped the umpire after getting ejected. Can anyone confirm this, and has anyone heard anything about a possible fine/suspension coming his way? I really hope for the Brewers sake he isnt suspended; that could KILL us Thanks in advance
