And for the record, there's already a thread on stltoday.com to hark about it; Newest Brewers' Walkoff Routine (eyeroll)

So glad we made it home from the Dells in time to see the Prince Splash. Too funny.

Late start today due to a meeting running long, so no time for pics. Here's the lineup; 2B Craig Counsell RF Frank Catalanotto LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder 3B Casey McGehee CF Mike Cameron C Mike Rivera SS Alcides Escobar LHP Manny Parra

Per TH: Back in the big leagues and back in the lineup. That's the deal for J.J. Hardy as he starts for the Brewers tonight at short in the series opener against St. Louis. We don't get to talk to manager Ken Macha until later so I'm not sure what the plan is at short for Hardy and rookie Alcides Escobar. But, in his first game back from a 20-day stay with Class AAA Nashville, Hardy gets the start. The Brewers' lineup: 2B Felipe Lopez RF Jody Gerut LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder 3B Casey McGehee CF Mike Cameron C Jason Kendall SS J.J. Hardy RHP Braden Looper

I might not be the best one to answer this, because I didn't really bother reading the eating plan for P90X, and I know that I don't follow it. However, in my opinion, I learned how to eat more properly already, by eating more frequently, in smaller portions, and I have some of my own opinions as well. So take this for whatever you think it's worth. If you learn to graze, you will feel that difference in your energy just from that alone. Learn to eat better foods, in proper portions, and at the right times. It sounds daunting, but it's not that hard if you plan for it right and it helps you from overeating. My typical eating looks like this; Breakfast: I like to get protein and fats in the morning, so I either go with a couple of eggs, or cashew butter on toast. I'd like to trim more of the carbs out of the cashew butter option, but haven't found a good substitute. I might have some blueberries as well. Mid-morning: My snacks typically range to any of these options: protein shake, string cheese, good handful of almonds, granola bar, cottage cheese (sometimes with fruit). Lunch: Right now I'm big on wraps. They're low on carbs and still give me a "sandwich" type meal that I can easily add veggies into and not feel like I'm eating a salad that I'm going to load up on sugary dressing to enjoy. Some meat (go for variety, I vary tuna, or roast beef, or chicken), small piece of cheese, mustard, mayo and some veggies (whatever I have, lettuce, onions, carrot slivers, cucumbers, etc). I don't throw a ton of meat or cheese on, I try to use only a couple of pieces of meat and eat less of a lunch than I would without the snacking. Mid-day snack, choosing from the list above, trying to limit carbs and sugars. Dinner: I'm trying to weed out pastas and focus more on meats and veggies. I still end up often with a potato, a meat protein, and something veggie. Last night we had fajitas and some beans. Tonight is going to be goulash with ground turkey, limited egg noodles, filled up with some veggies (peppers, zucchini, onion, tomatoes). Dessert: Almost exclusively a protein shake, though I have messed with making healthier dessert things. My keys; I don't really bother counting calories, I focus on staying mindful of how much fuel I'm putting in, and making sure it fits with how much my body will be burning, so I'm not storing it. I'm not anti-carb, but I do try to limit grain based carbs and get more carbs from veggies. I focus on having some protein in any meal. My weakness is sugar, but I work to trim that out as well. I'm not afraid of most fats, I think as a culture we've totally been raised to mis-understand fats. Mostly watch out for trans and some saturate fats. Fat in general is just stored energy. Hope that helps and makes any sense!

Does every team need to be human run for the online franchise? For instance, could me and 3 of my friends do one online franchise, and let the CPU manage the other teams like it does offline?

My wife and I have done a bit of it over the past month, but have been traveling so we haven't followed it perfectly. As a work out program I like it, there's a lot of variety. I didn't bother with the meal planning stuff personally because I believe I understand what I'm doing there already. We checked it out because of my sister, who has been doing it for a bit now and she really likes it. SHE was turned on to it by someone we both went to high school with, who followed it exactly and got pretty toned. Also, it's really not aimed so heavily at losing weight, as much as getting "buff" so you have to evaluate who you are and what you're looking for. I'd say I'm personally pretty borderline of the target audience of this program, because I need to drop quite a few pounds to start being considered in-shape. This isn't one of those programs where they show you someone who was 100 pounds overweight and they got in-shape, they more show you people who are slightly overweight and got in-shape. There are some days that are about stretching and such which can be pretty hard to accomplish with a nice gut on ya! Overall, I think it's a good program, one of the better ones that I've seen gain popularity. The guy on the videos is doofus, and you'll roll your eyes at him pretty much every video, but he gives you a good workout.

That's it exactly burniebrewer. I just bought some this evening myself, but haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for making the thread SoCal. I took the twins to the game today and totally forgot to make the thread until I was parking.

Much to my own surprise, I saw grass-fed milk in half-gallons at Sendik's in Whitefish Bay yesterday. It was though oddly by the soy milk, but it was there, and from a Wisconsin based farm.

We can build it better...

There was an article on espn.com the other day predicting this season's awards. I had assumed that Pujols would walk away with NL MVP, and they didn't even debate that, but what shocked me was they didn't even list Prince when they listed "apologies to" players. How Prince doesn't come in second in NL MVP is beyond me.

Even Amazon.com can't beat Pick N' Save's amazingly low prices on Silver Spring Beer N' Brat Mustard! Amazon.com only offers a buy 9, save $1.26 deal!

I'm bordering on personally offended that Pick 'N Save chose to follow up "Buy One, Get One - Bob Uecker's Favorite Mustard, Silver Spring Beer and Brat Mustard Week 2009" with 3 for $4.98 offer on Budweiser BBQ Sauce in selected 18 oz. varieties. As a fan of condiments, the Milwaukee Brewers, Bob Uecker and Bob Uecker's favorite mustard, I don't appreciate this pandering to the folks of St. Louis!

Nah, the Indians traded Victor Martinez the day before his bobblehead day just a couple of weeks ago. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

At least St. Louis lost today.

I wish COCO wasn't in our division. I hate seeing him close us down this many times a year.
