  1. Why I Hate Provel (and You Should, too) http://s3.amazonaws.com/atimg/1243995/031510-provel2_rect540.jpg
  2. I'm with Myday2001. This isn't a "complaint." It's an opinion offered in response to a direct question. Quade and Roenicke have differing opinions on the matter at hand, but both takes are legitimate. I don't have a hard time seeing the point being made by either one of the two gentlemen.
  3. I can never get MiLB archived audio files to play It seems to me that the mp3 files are downloading at about half the speed that's necessary for them to play smoothly. I hit the link, hit the pause button on the media player, and let the file fully load. At that point, it played fine without any burps.
  4. You are a lot more patient that me. I can be impatient, too. The trick is to know what tests your patience the most and avoid that situation. For me, an alternate route that goes a bit out of the way is better than sitting still and not knowing when traffic might move. I think going eastbound onto I-94 and then somehow turning around would have been easier than heading up to Bluemound. Bluemound east (actually Story Parkway east) has worked for me. (A lot of people think of the main road as Bluemound while it's actually Story Parkway. Bluemound is the little street that heads into Piggsville.) You'd take Bluemound/Story Parkway to Wisconsin Avenue, then go west on Wisconsin. You can pick up US 45 from Wisconsin, or you and pick up either Bluemound or the I-94 from Hwy 100. I'd try this if I were heading toward Wauwatosa, Waukesha, or Madison. A second option for Wauwatosa — or to go to the northern half of Brookfield, Menomonee Falls, or to head out of town toward Fond du Lac — would be to take 35th to State Street. State will definitely be a nice peaceful ride. If you need to pick up 45 northbound, you can do it at Watertown Plank Road.
  5. I'm glad you mentioned that we should be paying attention. Too often, TV interrupts programming for stuff that isn't serious. The unfortuante effect is that people tend to blow off the important stuff. The other night, a Milwaukee channel interrupted programming to talk about weather that wasn't imminent and wasn't all that severe. All this interruption amounted to was a three minute pimp for the 10:00 news.
  6. Milwaukee had an NFL team, too (the Badgers). I can't recall offhand, but Racine may have had a team.
  7. Could you please reread the membership application and provide a more comprehensive and inclusive message via that page? It looks like you attempted to respond to a post rather than to the membership application itself. With more information from you, we'd be glad to consider membership. Thanks for your interest.
  8. They stretch the SD picture to look like a fake HD picture which I hate. That must have a really lovely effect if viewers are already stretching their pictures via their equipment settings.
  9. Mozilla is looking at June 21 for the release of Firefox 5. Firefox 6 would come two months later. Mozilla shoots for June 21 release of Firefox 5
  10. I know FSN has the bucks game on over the brewers tonight. (why i do not know) but does anyone know if they are still going to have the game on an alternative station. In the Milwaukee local market, WMLW would be the alternative station since the satellite and cable companies carry it. Outside of the Milwaukee area, DirecTV will carry the game on an alternate sports channel. This year, for the first time, members have reported that outstate cable providers were also carrying the game on alternate channels. DISH seems to be a crap shoot. It's hard to tell what they're going to do.
  11. When I exit Miller Park to the north, I tend not to worry about how I'm spit out of the lots. It's easy enough to correct course once I'm out of the mess. I'm much happier to see that the car is moving rather than sitting in traffic. I suppose you should consider Blue Mound Road. It's easy enough to enter the freeway farther west.
  12. Nobody really picked up on your post last summer, so what the heck… lets leave this topic open. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I've closed the other one.
  13. I have to resort to the worst case 'saw off your leg' scenario of the IE Tab extension, which mimics Internet Explorer but inside Chrome. It doesn't just mimic Internet Exploder. It runs it, security bugs and all.
  14. I thought the picture was OK on an SD set but pretty hideous on an HD set.
  15. Games will be blacked out if you live anywhere in Wisconsin or Iowa or in parts of Minnesota, Illinois, or Michigan. This information should help, too.
  16. jeffyscott, have you followed up on the e-mail you received that stated that this year's games would be in HD? WMLW really has to get with the program here. What's frustrating is that FS-Wisconsin produces the games and has the HD equipment. I suppose the issue is that even if HD games were offered over satellite and cable, Channel 41 itself isn't HD capable. If the games were offered on an alternate channel in the Milwaukee area, there wouldn't be people continuing to watch WMLW after the game ends. This isn't similar to the WYTU (Telemundo) games. Those are produced by the station on a limited budget. Even though WYTU has HD broadcasting ability, I can see why SD is chosen for the games. I called Time Warner today about absolutely none of the Extra Innings games being in HD. The customer service person was pretty much clueless. Needless to say, I left a recorded message at the end of their satisfaction survey saying that they're presenting a pretty good argument for switching to DirectTV. Adding to the Extra Innings standard definition issue is that it appears that most of the games are now letterboxed. Letterboxing is fine on 4:3. But when watching on a 16:9 screen, letterboxing either means that your picture is "super-stretched," or if you don't stretch, you have a little "postage stamp" picture in the middle of the screen.
  17. Here's a story: Carlos Zambrano exits with hand cramp I haven't seen any follow-up since yesterday, so I assume at this point that he'll be OK.
  18. 651 651 - 1 652 I'll bet on 652 as GormanHarvey says. I'll also bet on 651/651-1 being the Cincinnati feed. 651-1 would be HD, and WMLW doesn't offer HD. If you're otherwise entitled to the broadcast, it should also be available in the Extra Innings area even if you're technically blacked out. EDIT: Once we have a definitive answer to this question, maybe someone can make sure the information is posted in today's in-game thread.
  19. I'd consider posting on Brewerfan while attending a game to be much nerdier than keeping score. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  20. Scoring is far from the ultimate in dorkiness. It's just that it's dorkier than not scoring.
  21. Yeah, that's dorkier than buying the scorecard sold at the park. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Has anyone ever noticed if Barbara Bush brings in a scorebook or if she simply uses individual cards?
  22. I have tickets to all three games now. The Terrace Box seats don't appear to be "advertised." I got them by hitting the "best seats available" button. They're good seats, though, in the vicinity of home plate.
  23. It's working for me too. I have tickets to two games: loge outfield and terrace box.
  24. Firefox says "Service Temporarily Unavailable." Safari has me in the virtual waiting room.
  25. Thanks for the heads up on this deal. I'll be checking it out tomorrow (Friday) the morning.
