    So, did they just drop development for the PC?

    I had a situation that seems to suggest they can have misprinted tickets. I traded in one of my 20-pack tickets for a game in May against Atlanta. Two days later I got a reprint of the ticket in the mail with a post-it note saying the bar code on the ticket I already had was bad. Why this happened I'm not sure, but the way they produce tickets must be a little more complicated than we realize.

    I was there and there was far, far less than half there at that time. Is this really different from other years? I can't remember. The crowd, was, as it usually is on opening day, occasionally loud, but mostly subdued to alcohol exhaustion. Baseball never really starts in my mind until the second home game. Opening day is like every Cubs game of the year--baseball tourism. I still go. go crew

    I just signed up for a Standard Package of TimeWarner (30 buck a month) because I would get FSN North. Does anybody know if HD content comes with this (the sales rep didn't seem to know). A side note is that I am not getting a box from TW, but I'm hooking it up to a computer with a QAM HD TV tuner...

    He does know his favorite vegetarian food so far is Boca Burgers, a burger patty made from soy protein and wheat gluten. But he is obviously still a newbie because he has to "load it up with ketchup" for it to be just beyond tolerable. This is the sentence that concerns me the most. Boca Burgers are the type of garbage you eat if you've just cut meat out your diet, but desire meat-like foods. The team nutritionist had better jump on him quick and make sure he's not surviving on Boca burgers and veggie-dogs. And as stated above, he's going to need vitamins to make up some things he normally would have gotten from eating meat everyday. There's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, but radically changing the diet of anyone, particularly an athlete, can have some serious consequences. I for one stopped eating mainline fast food years ago simply from the realization that it made me feel awful a half hour later. I didn't need to be shocked into it. But since I have a father who owns ranch, I'm happy to eat all the free bison I can handle. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    Dan Kolb was celebrating getting signed by the Red Sox in Monica's tonight and bought me two shots. I wasn't planning on getting drunk, but hey, free shots of whiskey! I bough him one back with a message to kill the yankees. Nice dude. Damnit, I need to be more sober.

    When mentioning Seattle, you forgot to mention they're on the verge of losing the Sonics as well. They get my vote since the Sonics are their first and brightest love. Chicago doesn't deserve to be on the list of the worst. Perhaps number 6 or 7 on the best. For all intensive purposes they're still hungover from the Jordan years and the Bulls were up and coming until this year. The White Sox won it all and the Cubs have been in the plays offs several times since 2000. While the Bears went to the Superbowl just two or three years ago. Milwaukee could be number 6 or 7 on the worst, but the Brewers are on the up swing and Bucks had a pretty good stretch which only end a few years back. Not to mention Marquette and even UWM have made strides in the tourney in recent years. And that's discounting the unofficial Milwaukee teams from Madison and Green Bay.

    This is a strikingly even deal, but from the brewers perspective I would be a little concerned. In a sense, they would be trading out of weakness to add to their strength. The major problem in 07 was the shaky and unhealthy starting five. Villy was one of the reasons it didn't completely implode. Here is where Cappy's struggles are really going to hurt the team. If he had done better we'd be talking about flipping him for a real nice package and inserting Villy. I am too sold on Villy and uncertain of Cappy to feel good about this proposal. Crawford seems a spectacular player, but really he's only a offensive upgrade, since he'll only provide a modest improvement on Jenkins' solid defense. And how long until requires serious money to keep around. I'd rather have a solid, young starting pitcher around on the cheap than name player in left-field (or maybe center).

    Just got mine. I wish they would have given me access to Brewer's Replay. I hope they consider including this with 40 and 20 game packs in the future as currently it only serves full season ticket holders. Here's to pulling out a miracle, otherwise this is just kind of depressing.

    Anyone else having problems with mlb.tv? I just lost the connection and I can't reconnect. It gives me a warning that there's a delay and just sits there.

    Can he hit? I'll delay my opinion on this deal until I see Linebrink in the box thumping some fire into a decarbonated brew crew.

    I know this very well. From O'Hare you'll be able to catch the Coach USA (formerly Milwaukee Limo) from the bus pick up area (across the street from the Ramda if flying domestic). It runs hourly and will cost $40-42 round trip and stops at Kenosha, Racine, Mitchell, S 11st(?), Amtrak Station, then on to Waukesha. This is the only direct route that I know of between O'Hare and Milwaukee. The bus comes from Midway if you're interested in really cheap fares. If you want to take the train you have to catch a cab or the El to Union Station (not on any EL line) and then catch one of the five Hiawatha trains.

    You might be able to uninstall it through control panel, but you will probably need to run an anti-spyware program after. Try Spybot Search & Destroy. Download, install, update, immunize then run full scan. (Link) It might say you need to run SSD on startup, do so and it should clean it up nicely. As far as the startup page, change it in tools/options after cleaning the system.

    Congrats, I'm sure I'll see you around. Without knowing it of course.

    Why not? I thought smacking wrong people was a reward for growing up! Go, Brewers, Go!

    Got back from the game a while back: big fun. I just watched the video clips and oh my, that Jenkins homer was a thing of beauty. He looked possessed.

    Is it just me or do a lot of the Brewers players seem really over anxious with the bases loaded? Particularly Prince. Being aggressive early in the count maybe a good approach in that situation, but it just seems like the swings get really big on strikes one and two.

    Curiously enough, the ESPN preview includes an Accuscore win probability and they have the Astros with a 52% chance to win. Here's were stats seem to see beyond the obvious because I would say the Astros have their backs up against the wall. sports.espn.go.com/mlb/pr...=270428118

    They're still the Brewers. I've got a bad feeling about this game.

    If I were to trade from the depth of pitching the Crew has, Cappy is the last one I would deal (this year). And it seems to me Lieber would be acquired only to further bolster that depth for the season, not for trades. I appreciate the idea of striking while the iron is hot, Melvin could probably swindle (the desperate and spurned) Toronto in this market.

    No you're not. I gripped about this guy early in the season. He was hyped because he could reach 99, so was De la Rosa. Everytime this guy comes in I feel like he's going to give up a dinger, and recently that's exactly what he's done. I'm certainly not ready to give up on him, he's had some outstanding outings and his era isn't bad for a rookie. I just think the talk of grooming him as a closer are very premature.
  23. edod
    There is a hurricane on the way and I'm sure he was given directions to speed the game up. Edit: 2B Ump must have missed that memo.

    I haven't been one to complain or spew doom and gloom on this site yet, but I'm am going to say that being 4.5 games out results more from the fact that the team play OK early and are now in a pitful NL. I just don't see them overcoming teams like the Arizona, LA or Cincinnatti without weeks and a productive outfield. I am excieted about next year too early...again. For about a week or so now I have been watching the Brewers as I always have for the development of certain players--Fielder and Gross are all that is left to interest me. Hall is a surprise which has made the season worthwhile at this point alone.
