Please note Brian's post above.

I think the JS Online membership has absolutely figured out why Hoffy was banned from this site. The only thing that was missing in the responses was that Brewerfan's membership donates money for him to be able to read these forums. On a side note, I'm absolutely pleased that Brewerfan's membership doesn't abuse the forum quote feature like people do over there. Because there are good posters over there, I can read past the cussing and condescension. Reading through long nested quotes to find a one-line response drives me crazy, though. b19 is right on about mlb.com. I called to complain this spring because their main page wouldn't load, thus preventing me from getting to the Gameday Audio link. All the techie could say was that mlb.com was a 'media rich' site and that slow loads were to be expected. He didn't get it when I suggested that the media was fine, but that some of it could be put behind links rather than all loading on one page. All he could say (again) was that mlb.com was a 'media-rich' site. The topper, however, was when he told me that I ought to be able to get 90K speed off of a dial-up connection. Yeah, right.

Just to note that for anyone with questions about actually procuring tickets, there are a ton of answers in this thread: Playoff Tickets

Yeah, standard rates apply. To goof around, you'd ideally have a text message package. But text message package or not, this service sure beats most cell companies' rates for directory assistance. Another good one is 4INFO (44636). By the way, you can use these services for Brewer scores, standings, weather, movie listings, and all kinds of stuff. Google Mobile (this page has a nice practice thinger) 4INFO Mobile

I'm not sure of the best way either; I do it differently every time. And I haven't been successful at making the double-spacing go away. When either I or someone else lands on the best method, I'll let everyone know. Anyway, I've prettified your chart. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

If you want to talk about Ned's "need" for 13 pitchers, please choose the appropriate Yost thread. If you want to get into the topic of 13 pitchers without getting into 'all things Yost', it's likely a good thread-starter.

Here's the thread: Umpiring in Astros series (and Prince Fielder confrontation) Feel free to copy/paste. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Right about the time I got to the part about the vet saying it was closing time and the dog had to go home, I started thinking, "My god, the dog should have been hospitalized." No dog in that condition is OK.

Welcome Nashville Badger. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Tiny, tiny sample, of course, but these are Gabe's 2007 Nashville numbers vs. lefties: <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">AB</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">BA</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">OBP</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SLG</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">OPS</span></span> 30 .267 .389 .500 .889 Gabe's 2005 AAA numbers vs.lefties (another small sample): <span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">AB</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">BA</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">OBP</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">SLG</span> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">OPS</span></span> 94 .277 .364 .436 .800 As I keep mentioning, I'd love to see his career minor league numbers vs. lefties.

One measure that you can opt for yourself is a Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement. Every vet I've spoken to has heartily recommended this. In addition, many supplements also contain MSM; the vets I've spoken to have also been just fine with that. This is something that can be given to a dog as a preemptive measure starting at a young age. One of Casey's vets started giving it to her three-year-old lab--just in case. She also noted that the human versions of these supplements were just fine and that the price goes up considerably as soon as there's a picture of the a dog on the package. In Casey's final months, he did receive a Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement meant for dogs (Dasuquin). There was something additional in the concoction that the vet wanted him to have. These are the daily minimums the vet recommended for a 60 pound dog (Casey's size at the time of the recommendation; he had lost weight over his final year): Glucosamine: 560 mg Chondroitin: 420 mg MSM: 224 mg It doesn't hurt to exceed those doses. Because the formulas available won't 'match up' exactly to what you need, you'll likely exceed the minimum in one or two of the ingredients. Just don't waste money on what you don't need. One shark product out there is Dog Gone Pain. While I've read rave reviews, vets at two clinics recommended against it. Reasons: Small sample size 'tests' consisting of random anecdotal evidence (baseball statheads will appreciate this one http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif). Proprietary ingredients that the company won't reveal. It's hard to predict interaction with other drugs. The harvest process being inhumane to sharks. As I alluded to, one thing I (thankfully) didn't have to deal with were significant personality changes that impacted Casey in a negative way. He was alert and enjoyed the things he was still able to enjoy until the end. Somewhere along the line he started fearing storms and stopped fearing guns and fireworks. That was definitely better the other way around. EDIT: I forgot this: if you start up a Glucosamine supplement, it'll take a few weeks to kick in.

RoCo, I can relate to everything in your post except for the ornery temperament. I went through all the rest of it, however, before having my dog put down a couple of weeks ago. Casey was five weeks short of fifteen; your dog seems to be going through this at a somewhat more typical age for a dog that size. I recall a chart at one of the vets saying that these particular dogs are geriatric at age ten. As far as the urination, chances might be that it's due to decreased kidney function. That isn't necessarily as horrific as it sounds. Test don't detect a deficiency until the animal is at about 35% of normal function. 10% function is what's necessary to survive. Still, when tests detect a decrease, adjustments are likely in order. When my dog started having indoor urine accidents about two years ago, the vet put him on a prescription kidney diet, and things shaped up very nicely. His body just wasn't processing protein very well. In addition to a kidney diet, you should avoid giving her much in the way of extra meat and potassium--and definitely avoid salt. Just to be safe, I'd make sure Casey went outside every time I thought urination was even crossing his mind--especially when someone came to the door. Other than that, we were back to a basically normal routine. You might see some improvement with prescription pain medication. My dog was taking three drugs over his final four months. Metacam was expensive; the other two were in the ten cent a pill range and could be filled by the local pharmacist. It's possible that your vet might also recommend Rimadyl; that's also a fairly pricey med. When I say pricey, I mean in the one to two dollar a day range for a dog of a lab's weight. (You won't get both Metacam and Rimadyl; they don't 'play well' together. I had to take Casey off Rimadyl for a week before starting Metacam. He was given something else to hold him over.) Medication helped, and usually, if Casey had a bad day, he'd show improvement the next day. While this isn't applicable to you, the warm weather helped a ton. Ice was a real hazard. Casey 'retired' from stairs about a year ago. Around Christmas, he could still do a couple of steps and could jump in the car with a bit of a boost. I'd say it was around March when I started seeing what you appear to be seeing. One thing that really helped his quality of life was that it was very practical to adapt my house for him. He lived in the living room and bedroom. Rooms with hard (slippery) floors were blocked off. And luckily, the step from my driveway to the front door is about two inches high. In short, any adaptations you can make can only help. You're going to definitely have to talk to the vet. Phone advice is free. S/he'll probably want you to take the dog in, and that makes sense. I'd guess that it's possible that temperament could improve if the animal is able to feel more comfortable. Good luck with all this. I know exactly what you're experiencing. In addition to the dog being frustrated and you being frustrated, you're going to have to listen to people telling you what you should be doing. General advice is fine. Hearing 'you should be putting the dog to sleep' isn't. Others don't see the dog day in and day out; only people living in the household with the animal will know when the time comes for that.

Thanks ransom. Other good news relayed by ransom in the chat: Yuku will be activating six new servers to help out with slowness.

I've noticed intermittent forum slowness today, too. If you're not sure whether it's Yuku or your connection, simply check and see how other sites load.

That's enough evidence for me. I'll try paging ransom.

I see nobody's in the chat room; maybe it's the nice day. But I'm having trouble logging in, so I figured I'd better ask. If anyone else is having an issue, I can try to page ransom.

Honestly, DHonks, I think your privacy is well covered on this forum, even with the profile information you're currently making public. If you've ever posted your last name, I don't remember it. And if you actually decide you want your kids to know you post here, it's not like you're in here trolling or anything. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif You'd be teaching them some netiquette. If you'd like to be more anonymous than you already are, you could simply edit your mini-profile block to hide more stuff. You'll see an edit button up by your username. You can choose who can view your personal information: no one (not even you), only me, my friends, or anybody. I've heard that Yuku is considering adding 'best friends' to the list to offer yet another level. My favorite item on the privacy preferences (edit miniprofile) page is the real name field. The explanation says, "This can be your real name." In essence, Yuku is saying it's fine with them if you make one up. At any rate, the only information that search engines will find in your profile is the stuff you choose to make completely public, or in other words, viewable for everybody. EDIT: If you do opt for a new username, you can create another one under the same e-mail. Click on the navigation button at the top right. On the right hand side of what pops up, under create, hit the profile link. You can switch between your profiles very easily without logging out.

Shouldn't b19 be allowed to post photos of his shrine? I bet that'd need several pictures.

By the way, Don Sutton wore both #20 and #21 for the Brewers. He went to his preferred #20 when Gorman Thomas was traded to the Indians.

Welcome, Legends. Information like this is always appreciated. You shouldn't feel like you need the warning, though. It's Mrs. FTJ that should be concerned. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

That just dawned on me, FTJ, and I was editing it out as you posted. You're quick! :-)

If you want to get really technical, you'd be adding hitless plate appearances. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif In addition to the situations splitter listed above, plate appearances also include sac bunts and catcher interferences.
