So Kottaras should have obviously started yesterday so Luc could catch today. A good manager would start Lucroy with Wolf just to prove to Wolf that he doesn't make lineup decisions. I tend to think that Roenicke is trying to help Wolf get comfortable in his starts to get the best outing from him as possible. Catchers need more days off than regular position players, makes a lot of sense to do it on a regular rotation. edit--and now Rock says almost the same exact thing, making me re-think my logic
-
So straight from the mouth of Lucroy--"I planned on having today off and it's a good thing. After catching the last four with a bunch of day games, I need the day off. Hopefully I can pinch hit later....I'm just happy to be healthy and in the lineup" Can we stop bashing on Roenicke for giving the day off when even Luc admits he needed the day off?
-
In what world would Roenicke getting thrown out done any good?
-
I think he will get a 5 game suspension, which will then be appealed and dropped down to 3 games. Regardless of the fact it was back to back bad calls MLB won't be able not to suspend him for that. Here's a question to discuss--what is more disrespectful for the game, Lawrie showing passion (albeit way to aggressive) over a bad call or MLB firing Shyam Das because he didn't rule in their favor on a alleged PED case for the first time since 2009? To me it's a player reacting immediately to an in-game call verses a sanctioning body supposedly with the best interests of the game acting childish over a 6 month period because they lost a drawn out appeal process that they had previously agreed with.

And Maysonett gets the start at 2b today.
-
At least the walkoff makes the war of attrition somewhat tolerable. Good night all and don't underestimate the power of the grilled cheese.
-
Can he please get a day off tomorrow now?
-
You're right. Even less time to get someone in town. Hopefully turborickey is right and they were making calls about two hours ago to get the process started.
-
If the game tomorrow is at 3:05, is there even a chance we can trade out Chulk or Dillard for a fresh bullpen arm? To lazy to look up the Sounds or Huntsville schedule to see where they are playing on my phone. Logistically, just not sure there would be enough time to get anyone to Milwaukee and ready to pitch if needed by early afternoon.
-
Chulk is it.
-
Don't forget his blazing speed and threat to run wild on the bases.
-
If Gamel is put on the 60 day DL, am I correct in thinking that opens a spot on the 40 man roster? Always have trouble remembering all of the roster rules.

Suggestions on places for buying a suit?
Blancofan1 replied to billyhallfan's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Put me in the camp that wears a suit everyday and I agree with most of the things said above. You can get decent suits at department stores for really good prices, but make sure that you try on a couple of styles to find what you like and what style fits the best. Buying a suit "off the rack" isn't necessarily a bad thing, if the style and fit works for you. Personally I would avoid Men's Warehouse at all costs. I've bought a half dozen suits from them the past two years that averaged about $400 a piece after tailoring when they have the buy one get one free sale. I have yet to be impressed with any of their suits from a quality or durability stand point. None of them have lasted more than about 6 months with wearing them about once every two weeks. If you do go this route, or get a suit tailored somewhere be sure that you know what you want as far as fit goes. The last two times I went to Men's warehouse, the men measuring me insisted on cutting the pant legs about two inches shorter than I prefer. By the end of my last visit I had to speak with a manager and be re-fitted by someone else to get the suits tailored to the cut I wanted. I've also never been happy with the quality of the actual tailoring they've done either. EDIT--Forgot one of my pet peeves when I interview someone. Wear socks that match your suit!! It really throws off the look if your suit and socks clash when you sit down. -
What I find really interesting in the Fox Sports article is that Greg Couch, journalist extraordinaire that he is, spent a good chunk of the game on Monday in the Wrigley bleachers. I know Wrigley is small, but wouldn't most journalists spend time in a press box or did Couch not even have the credentials to get in as an actual member of the press or media? Low class article written by a low class writer. edit--Fox Sports and ESPN would be better off posting links to http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=27834 that show how a sport really can affect people's lives than letting no talent hacks like Greg Couch post articles.

So my wife gets home from work tonight and I notice that she has her high beams on as she pulls into the driveway. Curious, I ask her about it when she gets in the house and both of her headlights burned out in the past couple of days. She had let me know on Saturday that one had burned out so I planned to stop and pick up a replacement today, but I forgot on my way home and didn't want to run back to FleetFarm to get it. Now that both lights won't work unless on bright, I had to run in an pick up replacements and as I go to install them I actually found the receipt in my toolbox from the last time I replaced her lights. It was on Aug. 15th of last year!! I knew that I changed them fairly recently, but realizing that it had barely been 6 months did not make me very happy. She drives some backroads between Stevens Point and Wausau everyday, so I had bought the extra bright halogen lights last time and bought the same ones again tonight. Needless to say, these will be returned and she will get the basic standard bulbs as I refuse to spend $30 on headlights every 6-7 months. I understand the brighter halogens have a shorter lifetime than standard bulbs, but 6 months is ridiculous.

Their ad space on the lower right said that the game is coming up next, but they don't seem to be going to it like scheduled.
-
I'd be interested in the '04 standing Bernie. Let me know what your looking for, I'd prefer to buy otherwise I have a Sounds auto'd Zach Jackson jersey we could work out a trade with.

My wife and I will be there in 311. Thought about bringing out the thundersticks from 2008, but those didn't work so well in that elimination game so I think they will remain on display at home. Our buddy that has gone to every playoff game so far doesn't think he is going to be able to make it. If we hadn't lost the game on Monday, there would have been no way I could have allowed that to happen. edit--I should add in that tomorrow will be our 1 year anniversary and it's great that we get to celebrate it at Miller Park for a playoff game. That was the only saving grace with the Brewer's poor season last year, if there would have been a playoff game on the wedding day I know there would have been a lot of conflicted friends and family and the theme of the reception would have been vastly different.

NLCS Pitching and Gametimes (rotation discussion here)
Blancofan1 replied to razzzorsharp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Anyone know if the Sunday game is going to be at 3:05 regardless of if there is an ALCS game 7 that night? Just wondering if that would be changed to a 7:05 start time. -

What will La Russa complain about?
Blancofan1 replied to liveforoctober's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Nyjer Morgan and Tony Plush both being on the team gives us a 26 man roster and we should be disqualified immediately. Sidenote--My favorite issue from the Cardinals so far has been the irrational fear about BA announcing the game for TBS. Obviously that will have a huge impact how the team plays on the field. -
Not sure if this is the same issue, but for the past two days I have been getting a lot of server errors when paging through threads, specifically the in-game threads it seems. Don't remember them saying 502 error, but it is possible. Using Chrome if that makes a difference or helps find a cause.

Playoff Rally at Summerfest Grounds
Blancofan1 replied to Ulice Payne's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I have to side with Greinke here for sure. A mental illness isn't something that you can just "tough out" and ignore. Yes his medication has been effective enough for him to get back out on the mound, but that is way different that standing on stage in front of 7500 people at a rally. On the mound, it's more of an actual controlled chaos. I really compare it to a person with Alzheimer's, even if they are on medication and have a few good days in a row--you can't expect them to not have setbacks for no apparent reason and forget who their family is. It is asking A TON for someone to just get over a disease, even if they are getting treatment for the disease. -
Thread was deleted until after the Brewers actually clinch.

Got my playoff ticket package this morning from Fedex. For some reason, there were no parking passes in the envelope though so I don't know if those are being shipped separate or what. Overall, the packet was kind of disappointing. Nothing but the sheets of tickets. I thought I remembered there being a lot more with the previous playoff packets. It may just have something to do with the fact that I don't really care for the Postseason '11 design of the tickets. edit: According to the email I got from my ticket rep, if you paid your invoice online--there wasn't an option to purchase parking. I could have sworn there was. Thankfully, she was able to still add on parking passes for me, so it sounds like they are still available for now.
