my question is, where were they born, who delivered those children when they were born, and where did they get their post-delivery medical care? I thought I read that the two children have never seen a doctor. The dude is just an absolute monster, far beyond the monstrosity of the average sex offender/child abductor.

That reminds me... Growing Power - Market Baskets Those that are in the Milwaukee, Madison or Chicago areas are able to utilize this option. Growing Power is a recognized leader in urban farming, and is headquartered at 55th & Silver Spring on the north side of Milwaukee. My wife and I got a basket one week this summer and were somewhat overwhelmed. It was definitely a lot of food for the price. A good bargain and good quality, too. Not sure why we're not still doing it.

I was just amazed my wife could tell the difference between Dean and any store brand like Piggly Wiggly or Roundy's or whatever. Dean's milk is from cows that are rBGH (growth hormone) free and have been for quite some time now. Maybe that's it.

My nightmare game would be a football game called by Joe Buck on PBP, Joe Theismann as the analyst, and Joe Morgan as a sideline reporter.

Rarely shop at Pick n Save any more except for an occasional sale item. Most things are too expensive. Agreed. I drive all the way down to Oak Creek from Brown Deer just to shop at Woodmans. Just biding my time until the Menomonee Falls Woodmans gets built. I can't stand all things Pick'nSave. Their selection is barely adequate, their produce is embarrassing, their shelves are continually understocked, and their prices are outlandish. Pricing your own store-brand at levels over name brands at competitors is asinine.

It's a black eye for West Allis which is in turn a black eye for the State Fair, which is located in West Allis. Street parking really is a Fair-related issue. For all intents and purposes, it's one and the same in this scenario. Either way though, it was completely random and unpredictable, so it's not as if it should deter rational people from visiting either of State Fair or West Allis as a whole. -
And the Onion weighs in with their take: http://www.theonion.com/content/amvo/milwaukee_mayor_beaten_with_pipe One of those responses isn't all that dissimilar from what's coming out of the perp's camp.

Anyone ever have an "Office Space" moment?
Godspeed replied to jaybird2001wi's topic in Off-Topic Forum
I work for a small-ish business (15 employees) in an office setting. I'm fortunate enough not to have to endure too much of the typical "Office Space" hullabaloo, but we did recently spend 3 hours passing around an email to discuss delegating a task that would have taken 10 minutes to actually complete. Stuff like that is usually less noticeable and easier to put up with when you're able to work from home like I am. We did have an unintentional Dwight Schrute clone on staff for a good year and a half before he was let go. The know-it-all Schruted everything, and had the added bonus of being dumb as a rock. -
Uh, the guy I quoted.

Disregarding the fact that rushing Escobar up from AA burns an extra year of the Brewer's control in his prime, shame on Doug Melvin for not having the clairvoyance to predict Hardy's utter collapse. Funny how the guy with the username of 'Postseason2006' is angry about not getting longterm prospects in the deal for Lee. Let me guess, it's Melvin's?

Bill Hall DFAed, Bourgeois called up
Godspeed replied to Invader3K's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
It's a bloodletting. Sweet. -
They freed Chris Bosio... someone's reading MassHaas' sig. This is a sad end to a long tenure in Milwaukee for Castro. Not sure what difference it'll make though.

McGinn and Silverstein are as good as you're going to find. I agree on Bob McGinn. That guy is a journalistic god. He defines the J-S's Packer coverage. Haudricourt's knowledge and etiquette are sometimes lacking, but he doesn't embarrass himself that often from a content standpoint. Witrado though, ugh. Their sports page is among the best in the country. I'm sure you're all rolling your eyes, but every city's fans hate their own paper. People around here don't understand how lucky they are with the Packers coverage, and they do a pretty good job with the Brewers - usually. For the J-S sports page to be among the best in the country, which they may be from a reporting standpoint (Witrado notwithstanding), they have to do better than Michael Hunt as a columnist.

He was hurt the second half of last year. Link

I just realized that if Salome gets called up in September, and Colome stays with the team for longer than a month, then we could possibly see Colome pitching to Salome. I like rhymes. Or Jesus playing catch with an Angel. This probably already happened when they were both in Nashville though. Here's what I came into this thread to post: 'Baconnaise', bacon flavored mayo, is officially available in grocery stores. $4.97 for a 15oz jar at Pick n' Save and worth every penny.

Link Report for Games of Sunday, August 9th
Godspeed replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Lucroy with a homer today, albeit in a losing effort. I'm really impressed with his progress. Gamel was 0-4 with 3 Ks. Sure he's in a slump, but the fact that he's batting 6th (2 spots behind Koshanksy!) is bind boggling from a prospect development perspective. Guess the do take the fans into consideration at the affiliates. Either that or Don Money ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Logan Schafer continues to hit down in BC, the only affiliate A ball or above with a win today. Josh Prince on base 3 times. More BBs than Ks at both levels, nice. -
If we can only increase innings by 30 or so, the Brewers are in a heck of a lot of trouble with Rogers this year seeing that he's near 50 now and headed to AFL after 2 years of inactivity. Obviously it's not set in stone.
-
Great story. The quotes from Hardy & Gallardo regarding Jones & Rogers were the highlight for me. Just outstanding work.

I skipped this year but would consider going back again if they comeback with a lineup that is better then this years. I actually think this year's tops most of their others, if only for the inclusion of Tool. I remember comparing the line-ups of the Pitchfork Festival and Lollapalooza this year back when they first were announced and thought that Pitchfork had the overwhelming edge. Probably due to the fact that they had Built to Spill and Yo La Tengo on their side (who I've yet to see) and I already caught most of my list of Lolla's must-see acts (Tool, TV on the Radio, Animal Collective) recently on their own tours. Sad thing is, I won't make it to either. Damn the huddled masses, Chicago traffic, and my single-income household.

Seriously, what's the big deal about the stadium surtax being left on indefinitely? Divert the money to somewhere else once the stadium debt is paid off to redistribute the burden on the budget. I will never understand how upset some people get over the fact that they have to pony up an extra penny in tax per $10 purchased. Is it that noticeable?
-
I was pondering this earlier. Huntsville's been playing pretty neutral as of late, as far as I can recall. What makes it more unusual is that no one else on the team has such drastic home/road splits. Whatever it is, I see no reason for him to repeat the level next year.
-
Well, the NBA does have the 'sign-and-trade' option, which is pretty decent in the grand scheme considering you get a NBA-level player(s) in return. Compensation success in MLB/NFL relies on the draft picks actually panning out.
-
I am starting to believe the key to success is to draft high ceiling pitchers (Jeffress) and trade them before they flame out. Imagine the number of deadline deals we could have partaked in if we had parted with Jeffress or Rogers at their peak values. For me, the deadline this year continues to illustrate the importance of pitching over-all, not just as trade bait. There's a flipside to the peak value theory, too. Imagine where they'd be now had they traded Gallardo+ back in '06 for a free agent to be such as Jason Schmidt. I say keep waiting it out and hope the pitchers' peak values are when they've left the minors for good. Too bad we can't just predict injuries or behavioral recidivism (all accounts had Jeffress moving beyond his problems, and his value was somewhat deflated after the first suspension). Last year the Brewers were able to get Sabathia without giving up a top pitching prospect, and might have been able to do more of the same this year by doing the same. Those trades, like all youth for age trades, are band-aids that typically don't lead to the end goal of sustainable success.

I watch Counsell like I used to watch Yount
Godspeed replied to NYChez's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Oh God, Counsell is our Eckstein... You're right, he does play the game the "right" way. But I could never stand watching him play, primarily because it's meant that a better player is on the bench. He's had a good season this year, and I don't begrudge him for the success he's had, but sooner or later the other shoe is going to drop. I'll be happy if it doesn't though. -
Went to his site and watched the Letterman clip. He came off as very down to earth and humble about the whole thing. I guess I just don't see the big deal one way or the other. There's been worse things put on the air than this joker.
