  1. Williamson Brothers in Marietta, GA. You can order it online, too.
  2. What, you don't want this turning into another "Melvin sucks" thread?
  3. When my brother and I went to the game Friday night in Atlanta, my brother saw Heyward's numbers and said, "Wait...he made the All-Star team, right? Why?" Then, the rest of the game, he mocked the Atlanta fans (quietly - we weren't about to get our butts kicked) every time Heyward didn't do something great. "Oh, it looks like your Superman couldn't get to that base hit."
  4. I didn't see it, so it's hard to gauge, but according to Provus, Prince was livid and Sedar sprinted down the line to help talk to Prince. If Hernandez and Sedar knew they should get in Prince's ear, the manager should know that as well. It was completely unnecessary for Macha to go out there. Fielder was pissed and making a bit of a tough guy pose, but he wasn't about to run out there. The home plate ump got to Prince within seconds and put his arm around him to diffuse any potential situation. Really, that was all that was needed. That would be silly for Macha to come running out to join Sedar and the ump when nothing was happening in the first place.
  5. I know Axford is going to blow one at some point, but I'm going to enjoy his perfect record (and lovely curveball) while it lasts.
  6. I was saying that to my brother the other day. Melvin's "big" FA signings haven't been all that great on the whole, but he has been able to find guys that nobody else wanted. Loe, Coffey, McGehee, Kapler, Axford, to name a few that pop into my head.
  7. While I understand what you are saying, the problem I can see with this is that if the pitcher retaliates, he could get ejected, putting the team/bullpen in a bad position. The manager might not like this if he didn't give the pitcher the go-ahead.
  8. If anyone cares, the Atlanta TV crew couldn't figure out why Fielder deserved to get drilled, either. They replayed his double from last night and his homer from tonight to see if there was anything that he did that might have gotten under the skin of the Braves, but they rightfully couldn't see anything.
  9. Based on the pitching matchup, we should get killed, but that is not a scary Braves lineup tonight.
  10. I was at the game last night and had no idea that Cain had been called up. All of a sudden I saw a guy on the scoreboard about to pinch hit and didn't recognized him. Right before he was announced, I said, "Is that Cain?" And yeah, he hit the hell out of that ball. My brother thought his quick hands hand hips reminded him of Paul Molitor. After the game, the guys who were left in the bullpen (looked like Lucroy, Villy, Axford, and maybe the bullpen catcher?) gave him hugs before going to the dugout. Then he stopped to sign autographs for some young Brewers fans down the third base line. It was funny - he kept signing and signing, and from my vantage point in the upper deck, it looked like he was conflicted about whether he should stay or go. It seemed like he was the only Brewer left on the field and he thought he should go into the clubhouse, but he wanted to be a good guy and keep signing. It was kind of funny. In other notes, Hoffman looked great, which was really nice to see. Also, surprisingly good crowd in Atlanta. Even though we were handling the Braves, every time they scored or had a rally, the crowd was acting like they won the World Series. Don't remember the fans being that into a regular season game, especially while losing, in a while.
  11. Can someone explain what this fist pump photo is and why it is in high demand?
  12. I mentioned that to my wife, too. Looks like David Wright has one, too. Haven't noticed the other players. Check that, Ethier has one.
  13. Wow. That was a great pitch to get Braun. No way to lay off of it and no way to get good wood on it (or any wood at all).
  14. Forget all the haters who want MLB to get rid of the at least one All-Star per team requirement. I still love seeing our guys get introduced. Also, that was really, really cool to see Corey get to run out there as a starter. I'm very happy for him.
  15. As far as one example of his charitable donations is concerned, he died at a hospital with a Steinbrenner Emergency/Trauma Center for Children.
  16. Just reported on ESPN. http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/8961/58761356.jpg
  17. There's also a distinct chance for a no-hitter.
  18. This was not from the homer off of Karstens. He did nothing out of the ordinary on that one. The picture above was from when he hit the walk-off grand slam against the Pirates in the last week of the season in 2008. All that picture is is a freeze frame of him in mid-untuck. I just watched the video, and there was no hot dogging or anything. Just the classic untuck and big celebration on a huge win.
  19. Bill and Brian are fine. I haven't lived in Wisconsin in years and thus don't get to watch games all the time. I try to watch online when I can, and since I watch online, I also surf around and watch other games. Our duo is better than most, believe it or not.
  20. Wow. I can't believe guys like Molitor, Yount, and Cooper never pulled that off.
  21. How about the cynics lighten up a bit and just enjoy the fact that a solid player and a good guy feels strongly enough about the team and the city to want to have the symbolic moment of retiring as a Brewer? It's not hurting anybody and is actually pretty cool.
