    Sorry, which of my friends are you? I don't recognize your screenname. I only suggested turning the radio to those at work... I didn't actually use the words. My apologies to Dave Bush.

    Thanks for thinking of us stuck away from the TV. But I can't even get Gameday to load today, and the ESPN Gamecast is stuck trying to run an advertisement I can't figure out how to bypass... at least CBSsports Gamecast is running. Is it just my computer, or is anyone else experiencing similar issues today?

    More dramatic than necessary, but now in position to claim first series win of the year.

    With Howard due to lead off the Philly 9th, I suspect Stetter may start the last inning and see how things go from there (but have the Coffey warm) Edit: Nevermind, it's Coffey to start with

    I'm no obsessedwithbrewcrew when it comes to following weather predications, so the best I can give you is from the hour-by-hour weather.com breakdown for Citizen Bank Ballpark area at ranges from 15%-20% chance of precipitation. And I'm not ready to boycott this team. So maybe if wanting to jump on the jet black bandwagon, how about everything in bold black print tonight?

    Shouldn't be too hard to find a call to argue with the way the strikezone has been called so far this season. I know it's not cool to blame it on the umps, but when announcers for both the Brewers and their opponents (and the "neutral" Sunday night game) are questioning where a pitched missed when it was a strike for the other team earlier in the game it seems to be cause for frustration. Frustration that I've seen manifest itself on the relatively reserved faces of Suppan and Gallardo, not to mention the guys that wear their emotions on the sleeve. When they aren't getting the calls on the corners, they have to bring it into the middle of the plate if they don't want to give up another walk (how many times have a string of BBs been followed by an extra base hit this year?). How many times have posters in the IGT watching on online ask those watching on WMLW where that pitch missed, cuz Gameday has it well within the strikezone? I don't really want to see pitchers throw pitches for the sake of throwing BP strikes. I'm hoping that the strike zones become more consistent, and if not, then let Macha erupt!

    I wonder if Elias can find another player who went 5-5 with 2 HR and 3 infield singles (probably don't keep infield variety separated... but kinda obscure)
  8. TSack27
    On that infield hit between him & JJ, JJ's shoulder clipped Rickie in the jaw... the same jaw hit while batting last week.

    There are multiple newspaper accounts from that area indicating they are unsold. Earlier this month, even Hank was admitting he may have overpriced some of those seats. I forget the exact figure I heard on Mike & Mike this morning, but it was something over $800K for a 4-pack of season tickets for the prime seats = $2500 per ticket http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif

    And neither NY stadium was able to sell all their tickets for this past weekend's stadium opening series at those prices - from this story: "One week into their new eras, and neither team seems able to fill the ones they have, despite reams of free publicity in newspapers and endless gratuitous hype on their own broadcasts. Last year, when both teams finally owned up to the fact that there would be a total of 20,000 fewer seats between the two parks, it appeared New York would be grossly underserved. Now it appears the opposite is true, and the teams have no one to blame but themselves. Ninety miles down the turnpike, they are turning fans away at Citizens Bank Park, and in New York, at least 10,000 seats go unoccupied every game. There can be only one explanation: The tickets are too damned expensive. And something must be done about it soon."

    And Todd Coffey got down his first sacrifice bunt, leading to a very important insurance run yesterday! Helping their own cause is going to be important this season, as I see more 6-5 games than 2-1 games this year. And a little part of me has always wondered if pitchers running the bases has a negative carryover effect to their next inning on the mound. If any group could round up that kind of statistical analysis, it would have to be the Brewerfan.net crowd [insert gauntlet throw down logo herehttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif]

    How about making it like the "cuss cup"? Each time you post in the Vent Thread, you add a dollar to the 'Keep Brewerfan.net Alive Fund' Just not sure if it would cut down on the number of repetitive entries, or if it would result in posters giving Brian their credit card number to start an open tab. Edit: I didn't mind it from the fact that it may have helped keep the negativity out of multiple other threads, thus making it easier to avoid by just staying away from that thread (but I do understand if the moderators have concerns of it being the largest thread and giving off a generalized negative perception of bf.net posters to the casual observers).
  13. TSack27
    My first reaction... a stormtrooper on a crotch rocket.
  14. TSack27
    I'm not having any luck resurrecting the espn link from yesterday's story (as today's update appears to have overrode it). Does anyone else remember reading it yesterday where they further explained that after the initial posturing teams started returning to the dugouts and then Beckett started something up with Scioscia again, with the implication that it was the behavior after the pitch that earned the suspension (like Scioscia, Hatcher & Hunter) and not the pitch itself?
  15. TSack27
    Slight correction for the Gameday link for those unable to watch on TV tonight - http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_04_13_cinmlb_milmlb_1&mode=gameday Had a similar tweak to make in yesterday's link, the team id should only be three letter (the "n" usually only comes into play with two teams from the same city like chicago), delete the "n" after mil and all should be good tonight - http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2009_04_13_cinmlb_milnmlb_1&mode=gameday Go get'm Yo!

    Don't forget dragging out the crampon story last night. To me, Joe Morgan is like the John Madden of baseball announcers... somehow he is still on a number one announce team, but can't find a majority of diehard fans that like what he adds to the broadcast. Add that to a week of free previews of the White Sox, Yankees & Cubs announcers, and I must apologize for my gripes on the Schroederisms. So, what a can a large group of dedicated baseball fans do to get the message across to the "powers that be" that their TV (and internet) contracts need improvement?
  17. TSack27
    Assume the worst.... even the free first week extra inning preview got blacked out on Saturday in the same situation. Might as well plan on firing up the grill and listening to Bob & Corey on the radio. I can't decide which I hate more - the outdated blackout rules, the wrong assignments of "local" markets, the greed driven exclusive rights deals, or that pathetic canned answers given by all the different customer service(ish) operators. /vent
  18. TSack27
    He did have a sac fly to center driving in Milwaukee's only run Thursday. But yes, there needs to be less fear in pinching hitting for catchers because of that minute chance that the game may go into extra innings AND your back-up catcher gets hurt. Seems the odds of losing because of leaving an .000 hitting guy in to bat is greater that the odds of getting to extra innings and having the injury occur (plus there's always the chance to see McGehee strap on the gear).
  19. TSack27
    Holding Corey at 3rd on Prince's double in the bottom of the first
  20. TSack27
    And the Cubs announcers agree again, with Soriano being doubled up there.
  21. TSack27
    Yup, I'm stuck watching the Cubs feed, and even their announcers admitted Rivera's throw beat Theriot to the bag.
  22. TSack27
    Yup - http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/42415397.html DirecTV has it on the channel guide for 721 tonight... hoping there's not a bogus blackout Even after the free preview week, there might be a chance for WMLW games to continue being shown on Extra Innings channels. Last season, we'd find non-FSN broadcast showing up on those channels with the block lifted at those time. Not sure it was suppose to happen that way, but glad it did and hope it's an option this year.
  23. TSack27
    Day off of work + first softball practice of the year + Brewers beating Cubs in the bottom of 9 = AWESOME!
  24. TSack27
    Is possibly family related as his grandfather is A.T. Coffey Jr and his father is A.T. Coffey III (but not sure which or why) Edit: It appears as his grandfather (a minor league baseball player himself) passed away last fall - link

    Was being discussed last fall - Miller Park food policy change
