Vote for Axford's 2011 Intro Song!
pretendastronaut replied to sbrylski's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
That Refused song was discussed on his twitter feed a couple of months ago. The bit would be somewhere from after the 3:40 mark in that video. I had noted at the time that he would likely need to bring Coffey's sprint back if he used it. -
Yes actually, he needs to not be on the disabled list to end the season. Not much to add, that doesn't already echo the general feeling of the thread. A real shame for Wainwright and baseball in general, but good news for our chances in the division. I don't think this removes the Cardinals from contention by any means, they're still one of the 3 best teams in this division this year. All the best to Wainwright in his recovery.
-
But you didn't read what he said. He didn't say he puts up with it so he can play baseball, he said he puts up with it so he can compete against the best baseball players out there.

Brewers and any other MLB players on Twitter?

I would believe the spring training deadline means little. Thursday's arbitration hearing seems to be the true deadline.
-
Yes it would. That's what bothers me about this. Why would they want to take that chance of losing Weeks at this point, after putting that effort/time into waiting for Weeks to realize his potential, which may finally be peaking, and now possibly let him walk away because the money is a risk? Which isn't to say, give Weeks whatever money he wants, but from how it appears to me, the Brewers didn't make an aggressive offer either.

I think I need a new furnace
pretendastronaut replied to pretendastronaut's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Thanks for the info from everyone. Finally needed to replace the furnace this week, and it is being installed right now. I ended up going with Gross, who had installed the original furnace in this property 20 years ago. Met with several companies and they still came out on top and treated me well from the get go. Fortunately I met with enough companies to recognize the one who was trying to take advantage of me. It turned out my furnace qualified for a $975 trade in allowance, which is reimbursed to the dealer, not to me, so it just comes off my bill. All but one dealer I talked to told me about this yesterday. Oddly enough, that dealer's cost were about $400 less than all the other quotes I had. Seems to me he was hoping to quietly pocket $575. And that's just the most egregious thing that company did, to say nothing of how they tried to tell me a higher-end model was a mid-range model, and that their quote for an AC unit, while the same as everyone else's for a mid-range cost wise, was a lower-end model if you looked at the specs. -
McCalvy's article mentions Witrado went to The Sporting News, and his twitter handle is @WitradoSN too. So, he's gone, but he's not gone. Sadly he has an article up on The Sporting News with an actual interesting quote from Prince too.

McCalvy reports that Melvin said this to Witrado; Link

Vlad's post All-Star numbers dropped pretty dramatically last season though.
-
Guess it depends on whose mouth it comes from, because they ranked him as the 7th best second baseman in the league, and referred to him as our "catalyst", during the Top 10 Right Now show. (Though I believe Reynolds was on that panel.) I will be very disappointed if Weeks' doesn't have an extension signed. We can talk all we want about saving money to extend Grienke and Marcum, but I don't see losing Fielder and Weeks in the same offseason as helpful in accomplishing those tasks.

FT: Italian Sausage bobble (2010)
pretendastronaut replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Oh man, I would have traded my extra bratwurst, but my kids just broke it two days ago. -
Trying to help someone find some places to play in the Madison and Milwaukee areas and she's looking for suggestions of all ages places to play. So far I've come up with the Miramar and that's it. Any other suggestions?

2011 Bobble Dates? (Bobble schedule announced February 9)
pretendastronaut replied to TURBO's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yes, it was an all-fan giveaway for the last home game of the 2007 season and Jenkins' last game. -
It's good to know it's an MLB directive, because I can't count how many times I've been in the stands, hearing myself or others complain about the lack of replays at Miller Park. However, while better in recent seasons, they haven't been all that great at replaying great plays either. The absurd thing is, whenever I attend a game, I always record it because there are typically a few plays I want to be able to go back and see the replay that I don't see at the stadium.
