The Magical Magic Number is… (part 2)
TracyThom replied to liveforoctober's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Purchased mine on the date of release, 9-9-99. Anyone else remember the "It's Thinking" marketing gimmick? http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpor7vHRkc1qz92nro1_500.jpg -
What a slanted article. Carpenter only clarified his earlier statement. Clarified? He flat out lied.

http://video.foxbusiness....triple-h-talks-business/ So far, it looks like HHH is making the correction decisions in his role as Director of Talent Development. In the clip above, he talks about WWE actively scouting for new talent, which is something I think they should have been doing a lot more of years ago. Both Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin were scouted by the WWE, and they turned out just fine. Not sure why they went away from it. It sounds like they are going to be scouting wrestlers from other promotions, instead of waiting for the wrestlers to come to them. Watch out Ring of Honor and Dragon Gate USA. Sign your top guys to contracts, or they may get snatched away.

Sadly, the WWE has lost all of the momentum it had when CM Punk first cut his "shoot" promo. Who sent the text? I don't care. Like I thought, HHH has interjected himself into the limelight and killed the angle.

Nice 8 pitch inning for Randy. Keep on rolling.

So awesome! A couple thoughts and questions... Randy Wolf, you are fined $1,000 for not wearing your cowboy hat. Where's Corey Hart? Look at Counsell rocking the yellow button-up. T-Plush, spectacular! Anyone care to label the photo? There are a handful of Brewers front office staff and coaches I don't recognize. EDIT: Doh! Found Corey rocking the leather vest standing next to Counsell.

I was 5 years old when the Brewers went to the World Series. I have vivid memories of watching Game 7 while at my grandmother's house. Since then, I've watched and cheered through all the losing seasons. When the Crew made the playoffs a few years back, most fans were simply happy just to get in the postseason. This is a special team. It may be another 29 years before we see a team like this again. I'm not going to let frustrations about the daily lineup get me down. I'm not going to let in-game strategy get me down. I'm going to watch and I'm going to cheer with all my heart. Go Brewers!

Front Row Amy has made herself a fan page. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Front-Row-Amy/244541718920363 Check out the photo section. Yowza. Edit: Don't know why Yuku won't let me use the entire URL for her fan page as a hyperlink. You'll have to cut and paste it.

What's a proof-positive way to smooth over the ugliness of last night's IGT? The semi-annual haiku In-Game Thread! (Unless it has been shelved permanently.) Perhaps for tomorrow's finale? It's pretty hard to get angry at each other when you are forced to post in the 5-7-5 format.

Impressions of Roenicke so far (part 2)
TracyThom replied to PKBadger's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I've never met Ron Roenicke, but I can pretty much guarantee that he has more baseball knowledge in his little finger than all of the Monday-morning quarterbacks combined. His critics here can't even agree if bunting in the 9th was the correct move. Some say bunting at all in that spot was a horrible choice due to the positioning of the fielders. Other say bunting in that spot would have been okay, but just not with Yuni. So which is it? RR played professional baseball for 11 years. He has been a coach for 19 years, including being named Manager of the Year twice in the minors. When he was in the running for the Brewers manager vacancy, Joe Maddon gave RR a glowing review. Isn't Joe Maddon considered to be one of the most intelligent managers in baseball history? Has he made some decisions that have backfired or not worked out this season? Absolutely. However, to say he knows nothing about baseball is ludacris. -
We have an update: http://deadspin.com/58356...o-know-deadspins-readers Wow, she really is attractive.

Not sure if anyone has heard, but the Brewers called up some 3rd baseman from the minors. /blue

There are 2 documentaries that are currently streaming on Netflix that have Brewers ties. The first is A Player to Be Named Later. It was released in 2005 and tells the story of the 2001 Indianapolis Indians. This was when the Indians were the Brewers AAA affiliate. I'm ashamed to say that I have never heard of this documentary. It was really good. The main focus of the documentary were Kyle Peterson (remember him?), Marco Scutaro, and Brad Tyler. There were a handful of other former Brewers who make appearances including Allen Levrault, Kevin Barker, Mark Sweeney, and Alex Sanchez. (Hey, Kevin Barker is still around. He hit .358 for Oaxaca in the Mexican League this season.) I thought Indians manager Wendell Kim stole the show. The feature on Brad Tyler was really good too. The other is Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story. Even though it was released in 2010, Ryan Braun was hardly mentioned. There were a couple of clips and photos of him, but the current Jewish players who received features were Sean Green and Kevin Youkillis. Bud Selig had a large feature as well.

Spent the night in downtown Indy Sunday night. Stayed on the 18th floor at the Hilton Indy for a Hotwire rate of $72. The front desk clerk gave me (and my family) a complimentary upgrade to a huge junior suite. I think he saw the weary look in my face after driving 7+ hours with two sick kids. I was pleasantly surprised with Indianapolis. On-street parking is free on Sundays. Downtown is also very walkable. There were a handful of homeless folk around, but they only shook their cups and did not harass passerbys like some cities I have been to. Unfortunately, I arrived too late to catch the Indy Indians game that afternoon. However, most of the main attractions (State Capitol, Victory Field, Lucas Oil Stadium, Conseco Fieldhouse, NCAA Corporate Headquarters) were all within a dozen blocks of each other downtown.

Impressions of Roenicke so far (part 2)
TracyThom replied to PKBadger's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Rawbecht, you don't like Ron Roenicke. I get it. You've made your opinion known countless times. You are making a pretty broad assumption based on RR saying, "I mentioned some things to them, I mentioned some things to a few guys. I don’t want it to get carried away" and “Do I like it? Not particularly." He was later quoted saying something along the lines that he has not earned the respect to make old school decisions like LaRussa or Bobby Cox. The way I understood the article was that RR did not want his players celebrating based on routine plays, kinda like a wide receiver who celebrates after a 9-yard gain. -

Anyone attend the show live? I had to work, so I DVR'ed the show. Really liked the Henderson/Miller fight. The main was pretty good too. I fast-forwarded all of the promos and commercials. Did they show any Brewers on tv?
-
The name of the website is a little crude, so that would be a dealbreaker for me.
-
You completely missed his point.
-
It's not his fault. The Brewers have been headhunting all season... There is a lot of sarcasm in the Cardinals forums, but I believe the Yahoo who made that quip during the series at Miller Park was 100% serious.

Vince Russo's worked shoots are one of the many reasons that killed WCW. (See Hogan/Jarrett/Russo Bash at the Beach 2000) We aren't to the point of the ringside commentators saying, "This wasn't in the script" but we are creeping that direction. I have no problem with Punk bringing up the firings, but they shouldn't be talking about workrates and heel personas.

I think FoxyFoxes is not who he says he is. 23? Yeah right. I have a feeling he is actually this guy. http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/imagebuzz/terminal01/2009/10/14/17/daniel-craig-mustache-photobomb-25738-1255557452-5.jpg

Expectations for the St. Louis Series
TracyThom replied to jjfanec's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's still early August, but I am greatly looking forward to this series. I have a feeling it will be a playoff-type atmosphere in St. Louis, especially considering what happened at Miller Park. -
I'm very happy with the way Yuni has been playing the last 3-4 weeks. Amid all of the criticism, I've been silently pulling for him all year. The Yuni haters have to dislike him less now compared to the beginning of the year, am I correct?
