12 runs Saturday with 2/3 of the lineup using RockBats (made in Antigo). Coincidence? http://www.wausaudailyher...rewers-bust-out-RockBats

This is a nice look back on Ben Sheets' career as a Brewer. View gallery.

Closer to picking a name in Rapids. River Rats? Woodpeckers? http://centralwisconsinhub.wausaudailyherald.com/article/20100115/WDH0501/301150117

Looks like the new team in Rapids will get a name soon: http://centralwisconsinhub.wausaudailyherald.com/article/20100113/WDH0501/301130041

And on a personal note, I returned my County Stadium seats. I don't remember how much I paid for the pair, but it was enough to make it worth returning them from Wausau to Milwaukee (the two seats were sandwiched between sawed-off half-seats). Not enough of a carpenter/engineer to figure out how to do much with them other than let them collect dust in my basement.

About 400 seats from County Stadium will find a home in Wisconsin Rapids. A new Northwoods League team is coming to town. Read more.

We also received the new channel lineup in the mail today. FSN-HD will be available here in Wausau, as well as Animal Planet HD, TBS HD, and Smithsonian HD beginning on Aug. 26. They've missed previous deadlines for adding new channels though.

Can anyone say definitively how many placemats were released by McDonald's following the 1982 season? I have five matted and framed and always believed there was a sixth. I have: Don Sutton/Ted Simmons, Cecil Cooper/Pete Vukovich, Jim Gantner/Robin Yount, Paul Molitor/Rollie Fingers, Gorman Thomas/Mike Caldwell. I've always thought there must be an Oglivie/Moore placemat that I am missing, but I'm unsure. Thanks for your help.
