    And it is now safe to blame the fans. We lost every coin flip we called.

    Sadly, most banks are like this now (a 2nd strike for Wells Fargo). You should read the awesome bank stories on consumerist.com. They will also never decline your card to "save you public embarassment", whilst charging rediculous overdraft fees. Note to self: open a bank, ???, profit!

    Insurance is required by law, so that should have zero impact. The state minimums are the state minimums, and do not vary by make/model/year. And if you are implying that a new car depreciates slower than a used car, why do you lose 15-20% of a new car's value the second it is driven off the lot?

    I'll go on the record as saying avoid Wells Fargo like the plague (I've been with them since I was 10, but am shortly going to make the switch to something local). I went in for an auto loan yesterday and, while they are happy to give me a $20,000 loan for a new car, they will not give me $5,000 for a used (with a nada value of $6600). With underwriters like these, I am not shocked that many home and auto loans are failing. They're begging for them to fail.

    Minute maid park is ~20 miles inland from Galveston Bay. If the storm heads west across the bay, it could be somewhat ugly. Best wishes to everyone down there, stay safe!

    I don't see the problem. One for breakfast, one for lunch, and a sensible dinner is the ticket to weight loss! Oh wait, that's Slim-Fast...

    This was just the topic at the office today. The Cubs are running through the gauntlet, while we have a much softer schedule: Cubs ------- 3@ STL 3 @ HOU 3 V. MIL 3 V. STL 4 @ NYM 3 @ MIL Brewers ----------- 2 V. CIN 4 @ PHI 3 @ CHI 3 @ CIN 3 V. PIT 3 V. CHI Hopefully the 8 games v. Cincy and Pittsburgh will help.

    If you are Cleveland, why not wait? You get the benefit of everyone playing and gaining experience at the Brewers expense. If someone suffers a catastrophic injury, the Brewers lose out, not you. It just seems like it would be a good idea to wait as long as allowable.

    Fail. I'll lock myself now. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    584 or 589? The debate lives on. Makes me thankful for the 26,000 yesterday, even though it seemed empty.

    The Killer B's are back, you best be worried! Somehow, Backe, Blum, and Bourn are not as intimidating, but they still exist.
  14. bball123h
    The no-hitter would have been awesome, but the moment is lost now, and I'd be shocked if they reverse it. That said, perhaps we could focus on the fact that we swept Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, and are now 5.5 games up in the wild card, and are closing in on the Cubs. Good day to be a Brewer fan.

    Given my impending move, I think it would be in my best interest to spend as much time as possible with my fiancé before I head to Houston without her (for a few months). I may make a guest appearance at a few games, but I can't commit that much time, and it wouldn't be fair to the team to go ManRam. It's been fun, and I'm sure you guys will have an excellent season!

    We can correct bad calls. We do not have the technology to correct bad swings/throws/plays 100% of the time. It is long overdue, and I'm glad we won't have to miss a World Series appearance because of the "cookies crumbling" against us in the form of a blown call.
  17. bball123h
    You don't need to call anything a good decision just because the results are good. His decision lowered the chances of success (winning), but a bad decision does not mean you are guaranteed to fail. Total guesstimation, but say before the walk, the Rays had a 15% chance of giving up 4 or more runs and, after the walk, that was raised to 20%. Still a bad decision, but a wide window of success. Edit: Logan did my homework. Chance of winning dropped 5.2%, down to 89.8%. Bad decision with high likelihood of success.

    You pretty much took the words out of my mouth: (Chances of Hamilton HR) < (Chances of Byrd double, triple, or home run). I'm sure it is slightly more complicated than that, but it seemed like a silly move. A Byrd HR (and he has been "hot" lately) ends the game. Glad it worked out, as I'm pulling for a Rays division title.

    You need look no further than the mother and son from Gurnee, IL who were killed on 94 while changing a tire about a week ago. The law may even extend beyond emergency vehicles and to any vehicle with its hazards on. I'm surprised there aren't more injuries, as it seems like many people never bother to slow down or move over.
  20. bball123h
    Was there a car alongside you preventing you from moving over? Did you slow down while passing the officer's car? A yes to either of those questions would probably help reduce or eliminate your ticket.

    I'll be there Sunday.

    Move the Yankees to Fargo, ND. Move the Red Sox to Cheyenne, WY. ??? Profit!

    Congrats! I was reading this thread with some interest, and I also asked the folks for permission (the new fiance had always said how nice a gesture that would be, so I followed her wishes). I guess that makes me officially old-school.

    Turns out things like weddings and/or houses are expensive, so I'm selling off most of my bobble collection to help get some extra funds. Cash only, no trades please (unless you are offering a house in the suburban Milwaukee area). I am able to meet anywhere on the south side, or I will ship them to you if you so desire (at your actual cost, shipping markups are evil).

    Dang, wish I saw this earlier. I would have pointed the team in your direction.
