Thanks for the heads up. Does anyone have an ETA on the DVD release?

How long does each team have to make their selection? Does it vary by round?

I don't follow the NBA too closely, but I've been looking forward to this matchup for a while. It's hard for me not to pull for Allen and Garnett, but I'm going with the Lakers in 6. Kobe is, in my opinion, the best player in the NBA and Phil Jackson desperately wants #10.

Does anyone have any insight as to why Brent Brewer was recently promoted to Brevard County? I noticed that he was only batting .213 in West Virginia.

T BONE- I'm glad that you are taking the time to think all of your options through. If you start your college search now and put some effort (and miles) into it over the summer, you should be in good shape come fall. Let me preface my comments by saying that while I am very satisfied with my college education and the results that it has produced, there are many ways to go about obtaining a quality education. Here is what has worked for me: - Be sure to look at all of your options in the UW System (assuming you are a Wisconsin resident). The tuition is very reasonable and so is the quality of education. - Focus extremely hard on your coursework during your first two semesters (and beyond, of course). While many first year students try to build their resume by working or joining student organizations (often times at the expense of their coursework), I think that you will find that high quality opportunities will come your way if you make grades a priority. - Give baseball a try, especially if it is a passion of yours. While I stopped playing sports after high school, I have tutored several D1 athletes. Even though their GPAs were average, their experience and knowledge of their sport helped them land jobs in the sports world after graduation. - Finally, in response to a previous post, I believe that it is OKAY to pursue a Masters (or professional) degree immediately after college. I was fortunate enough to receive a tuition waiver and graduate assistantship to pursue a MS right after I completed my first degree. There is even an internship built into my Masters program. In a year, I will be able to graduate with work experience in my field and zero debt. Best of luck to you!

Dick's Sporting Goods has official Major League baseballs (with case) regularly priced at $15 if you need to pick one up in a pinch.

There will also be a Robin Yount appearance (date TBA) as well as a Gilbert Brown autograph signing on June 24th.

I'm not sure how many Northwoods League baseball fans use these boards, but I'm guessing there may be a few individuals interested in the Woodchucks' promotional schedule, especially bobblehead collectors. I'll post the highlights here. There is a link to the full schedule below. Woody Woodchuck Bobblehead - Saturday, May 31 (first 500 fans) Jim Gantner Woodchucks Bobblehead - Thursday, June 26 (500) *Gantner in his current manager's uniform Ryan Braun Brewers Bobblehead - Wednesday, July 23 (150) *more than likely the leftovers from Miller Park Jim Gantner Brewers Bobblehead - Monday, July 28 (500) *Gantner in his old Brewers' uniform Robin Yount Woodchucks Bobblehead - Thursday, August 7 (500) *Yount in a Woodchucks' uniform Promo Schedule: http://www.woodchucks.com/promotionalschedule.shtml

16-13 I doubt that the Brewers will tear it up during the month of May, but they are an above .500 baseball team that should be able to take advantage of the winnable games.

Wow, I'm a huge fan of that new batch. Ross, can you tell me if your shirt sizes generally run small or big...or are they a normal fit?

I believe that the promotion is statewide- One ticket voucher for every large pizza ordered. I tried scouring the Pizza Hut website for details, but had no luck.

Thanks for the replies- can someone tell me why the Brewers ended their relationship with the Beloit Snappers?

Thanks for the reply, bork. Here's a follow up (for anyone): Do MLB clubs prefer to have long standing relationships with their minor league affiliates or do they find it advantageous to switch affiliates periodically?

Here's a question that I'm hoping a fellow Brewer fan can help me out with: Why have the Brewers' minor league affiliates changed throughout the years? http://minors.baseball-reference.com/affiliates.cgi?aid=MIL I've only recently come around to baseball. There are parts of the game that I love now that I could never appreciate as a kid. Thanks for your help!

You guys think you have it bad? This morning on the local sports talk radio station in Green Bay, a gentleman called in to ask who the Brewers' backup catcher was and if they had any catching prospects in the system. The host had to fumble through a media guide just to find Rivera's name and couldn't come up with a single minor league catcher besides Eric Munson. I believe that there is a small chance that the Brewers could pass the Packers in relevance, but it would have to be the result of a sustained period of high quality, championship baseball.
