Ain't baseball an interesting game sometimes?
-
Yuni hit a line shot that the pitcher stopped with his gluteus maximus.
-
It's Milwaukee game 1 so it will either be the 1st or 3rd game of the series.
-
Are those times eastern or central? I would think the biggest TV markets will get the best times ratings wise. With the Brewers being the smallest market, their times will depend entirely on who they play. Games last 3 hours generally, they are going to allow 3 1/2 hours between games. You are assuming the Brewers will hold off AZ for home field.

Dodgers - maybe Cy & MVP, but no playoffs
whizkid replied to 44Fishy's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Wondering how Robin and Vuke in '82 were missed. But another yes. -

I think most people equate the farther a team gets in the playoffs, the more successful the season. There is also more national media exposure from advancing. Yes, all but one team loses in the end. But with 30 teams in MLB, if all things were equal, a fan can only expect their team to win the WS once every 30 years. Given that all things aren't equal, fans of teams that can't spend $180-200M a year can reasonably expect a WS victory less often than that. If a WS victory is the only success, fans are setting themselves up for a lot of disappointment. Despite losing the WS, the 1982 post-season was a very exciting time in Milwaukee. It would have been a lot less exciting had the Brewers not come back to beat the Angels.

The Magical Magic Number is… (part 2)

Is 31 Cory Provus? http://onmilwaukee.com/images/articles/pr/provustalks09/provustalks09_story2.jpg
-
2 is Estrada 17 looks too heavy to be Schafer, I'm thinking 31 though he looks a little old.

3 IP, 68 pitches isn't cruising.

Maybe he was saying don't let me fall down, don't let me fall down.
-
First round bye? I think it's clearer to give the Phillies' magic number to clinch best record since they're in front: 26
-
Staying ahead of AZ will keep my interest up and hopefully the Brewers too even after the division is clinched. Only 5.5 up on AZ now. Unlikey SF could catch the Brewers even if they catch AZ. Really don't want to face Philly in the first round.

Here's McCalvy's blurb from a few days ago that I referred to: Last call • Manager Ron Roenicke and general manager Doug Melvin will meet Friday at Miller Park to discuss whether to return to a 13-position player, 12-pitcher alignment for the final week before rosters expand Sept. 1. The Brewers are currently carrying an extra pitcher. Roenicke and Melvin will also discuss September callups, though the list will probably be limited. Triple-A catcher Martin Maldonado will probably be on the list, and rehabbing center fielder Carlos Gomez (fractured collarbone) could be ready to return from the DL by that date. All teams add a pitcher or two to protect the bullpen. "Doug doesn't want a big group, either," Roenicke said. "But we don't want to be short on areas. We want to be pretty specific with what we want, maybe a defensive guy, maybe a basestealer." Link

According to McCalvy a few days ago, RR and Doug were scheduled to meet today to decide on roster moves regarding the pitching and also to discuss who will be called up when rosters expand. That doesn't mean there will be any announcements today.
-
I think your typical local moving company will charge by the hour and have a minimum number of hours even if it only takes them 30 minutes to move it. Have you called around?
-
I have a feeling Ryan will sit the 2nd game, maybe even Prince. Yuni too but no loss. Might depend on how the first game goes.
-
And those are moving NE. The stuff to the SW is very scattered right now.

No, I think they need to work on their clutchiness. http://michaelbein.com/Baseball/MLR.JPG Still at a relatively high level of scoring historically speaking. These things have always been cyclical. I was in my teen years in the mid-60s. Scoring was too low but I like what it's settling in to now better than the '90s, early 2000s. Aaron, Mays, Robinson etc. all played through that 60s era. That's why there are stats that attempt to adjust for the general level of hitting. Obviously, OPS follows pretty closely: http://michaelbein.com/Baseball/MLOPS.JPG

Yeah, you could just leave it as it is and likely give the government a big no interest loan but if you're like me, I think it's worth a couple hours work to get the refund to be more reasonable and have the peace of mind that there isn't something weird going on and not enough is being withheld and you'll have a penalty. Subsequent years will be easier to understand and figure out.
-
Do you do your own taxes? Do you have a tax program from last year? The best way to figure this out is to do a tax return with your estimated combined income from all sources this year, figure out withholding so far and add in what the withholding would be if you kept it like it is now through the end of the year. Using last years tax tables, standard deductions etc. should be good enough to give you a good idea. Everyone's situation is different so the payroll department may not be able to help you much. Just make sure not to include the making work pay credit.

2011 Season long ticket offer for Brewerfan.net!
whizkid replied to Buckhunts's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I've used this offer 3 times this year for a total of 11 tickets. It's a great deal. $20 for section 126 last night was great. Just wondering if the Brewers keep track of the use of this offer by the password used and let Brewerfan know how often people from this site are using it.
