Agreed. I would think free tickets + Autographed stuff would be a starting point.

Can you do me a favor and keep us updated with what happens?

If the Cubs falter and fall several games behind us, many fair weather fans will point to this as the cause. Personally, i think it will hurt them a lot, especially if he is out the full month. Am i happy he is out? No, i would rather leave them in our wake with no excuses by cubs fans.

Wow, that's really pretty horrible. The head of Guest Services told you that? I'd go over his head. That guy should be canned.

And seeing as how there has been much talk this year about the terrible customer service from the ES staff at Miller Park this year, not to mention the fact that most of our traders/collectors read this forum, I think the thread was perfectly fine. I have no problem with the thread, however i just think it would be more productive to talk to PR about it. If if happened to me, i would. That kind of thing shouldn't happen to paying fans. And just a question, have you tried to deal with the ES staff this year? They are terrible. Obviously not all of them, but the fail rate is higher this year than ever before. Outside of the "pitbosses" not this year no. Having worked as an Usher for several years(quit before this season started), i know first hand which ones can control the situations, and which ones can't. So i feel your pain. Many times i have had to move from my section, 3 sections over because someone couldn't handle the situation occuring. My best bet for you(and anybody having a problem), walk up to an usher, and ask for thier boss. There are 2 per level(one on each baseline, you can spot em because they are the ones with the walkie-talkies) and there is one at the Hot Corner and usually 2 behind homeplate. They get things done, no questions asked. The usher? He was too busy talking to Corey Harts wife, he gave he family the "one second" finger wave, the "hold on" motion. A few minutes goes by and the family of four, sitting in $85 seats get up and walked out. As they walked by us, the mother said something to the usher, who was still in conversation with Mrs. Hart. The usher looked at her, rolled his eyes and went back to his conversation. Like I said, I'm not sure what he could have done, but at the very least, you try to convey some sympathy to the family who feels they need to leave the park, you don't brush them off because this is you first time working the players wives section and your awestruck. Report him. You ever see anything like that, go to the bosses and report em. That kind of stuff shouldn't be tolerated. What he should have done was call up to that level, talk to the usher in that area, and let him know what is happening. Not a whole lot you can do in that situation, other than prevent it from happening again.

Not every rule is written on a ticket, or on a sign. They simply said that you can't buy them on MP property(which makes sense, as i have seen people doing this with large bags full of bobbles after and during games this year). this is a reminder that you cant get any extra bobbles at the game, its some made up policy. Yes, they made up this policy on the spot. Come on, it's most likely a new policy this year(or even since the ASB), in order to deal with the people getting way too many bobbles. Have you tried contacting the Brewers about it? I am sure if this is all a mix up and the ES people screwed up big time, they will more than comp you for what happened to you. Complaining on this forum won't get anything done. I strongly encourage you to call the Brewers PR, and talk to them. (Somehow this became a triple post. I edited out the two duplicates. - hawing)

Maine is pitching today. I like our chances to double the current lead(hamels is due to get knocked around anyways).

Apparently it's just a heat related cramp.

Glad to have you back Woogie. We missed you.

When i said a 3-0 lead, i ment in the 84 series(altho i should have said a 2-0 lead in a best of 5 series). The 2003 reference was the 5 outs away.

Hopefully this will be the wakeup call weeks needs. He gets his ABs in, gets everything straightened out, and comes back to Milwaukee back on track.

It makes the Pirates better, i guess. Maybe they are reaching for that 81st win this year, and they think Morris will put them over the edge?

My Parents have a 37 inch Westinghouse LCD. They love it. It has yet to have any problems(around a year old) and i think it looks great. Cheaper than many other brands, and seems to hold up very well. I recommend it.

Welcome to the board!! First off, thanks for having a sense of humor(that's all this thread really is, a giant joke after all). The reason for the "chokers" thing, is it seems whenever the Cubs climb out of the cellar and do well, they tend to choke. It's not necessary how often they "choke", it's the magnitude of how it happens. Having a team come back after being up 3-0 in a 7 game series, being 5 outs away from the WS, losing a 9.5 game lead in Late August, ect. The years that come to mind for me are 69, 84, 03.

I have always been a huge Glavine fan(the Braves were my NL team back in the day). I would prefer him not get it here, but the lack of media attention is rather odd. Especially concidering he plays in New York.

Do the Wave and (if they are still around) Rampage still draw well? I haven't been to a wave game in many years. What would happen to those teams if Milwaukee got an MLS team? I would think they probably would fold.

Lombardi Walsh Parcells These are the three coaches that have changed the way i view football the most. Bill Walsh was great. RIP Bill, and may our prayers go out to your family.

I honestly think that is the best course of action in any situation. I thought i overreact when the brewers lose(i am usually depressed for a few hours). This guy is just straight crazy.

Wow, that sucked. Need to get this out now. Take it into extras boys.

Ugh, come on coco, let's get this one.

Anybody look over at the cubs game thread for today? www.northsidebaseball.com...hp?t=42797 Looks like they stole our gif for crushing the reds. Way to be original cub fans!

Gotta save those babies up for September man. Don't just throw em about this early in the season.

Yea, Vargas looks like the odd man out here. I hope we can get something useful for him. At the very least, a few minor leaguers to help out our now much weaker system.

I'm in. http://www.cancorn.com/uploaded_images/fred-733782.bmp

I was thinking the exact same thing. Hopefully it's not the same result though.
