I have to agree with Trwi, best badger has to be Heatley, but Joe Pavelski is also very good.

As a non-drinker, is a dessert wine a wine you have for dessert, or a wine you have with dessert? I'm assuming it's probably sweeter?Typically something that's served with dessert, although, just to make everything more complicated, it can be served as an after-dinner drink, and some people order them like any other wine. Yes, they are sweeter, and personally I find them near impossible to drink, but I know a lot of people who like sweeter wines. I may be wrong with this, too, because I'll admit my wine knowledge isn't quite up to par in this area (mostly because I don't like them) but I think they make them using more sugar, or adding more sugar at a certain point, which then makes them sweeter. But still seems like something a restaurant should have on its menu. Although probably not in a very large quantity. ((2-3 at most, I would guess)). Again, however, that's only if the focus of the bar is more on the restaurant. Most places, even like Friday's anymore, have 8-10 wine options.

I actually enjoy Molson a lot as well. Usually I can find the regular Molson, the Golden and Ice I could get at school as well, but have never seen around where I live at home.

Personally, I had never watched a game of pro hockey in my life until I went to college in Chicago. Then, out of boredom in the winter one day I found a Blackhawks game on and started watching. I caught what games I could after, and started watching all of them the next year, well all of them that were on. Interestingly, the Blackhawks compare much better to the Brewers than many people realize. Both teams had pretty bad ownership for an extended period of time. The Blackhawks owner, for example, wouldn't televise home games for a very long time, it wasn't until two years ago that every hawks game was even on TV. Both teams focused on the draft, built a lot of their own young talent, and signed (overpaying for) some key free agents. The hawks have had a bit better luck than the Brewers, but I wouldn't write them out just because they're from Chicago. But I may be partial to some extent. I also say don't bother with the pens. The whole Crosby/Ovechkin thing is too hyped and somewhat annoying for the rest of the league. Yea, you'll get a lot of pens games on VS and NBC (including this years winter classic) but you also have to watch Cindy cry to the ref every time someone looks at him funny... One up-and-coming team I haven't realy seen mentioned is Colorado. They also have a lot of good young talent and some nice vets. I expected them to upset SJ last year, and still think that some of the officiating in that series really favored SJ, but they may be fun to watch. Also, at least on TWC, I'm pretty sure the NHL network is only a couple of dollars more a month, and I think they have a game most nights during the season (however, I don't know that for sure) but it's another venue with which to get hockey. Personally, I keep hoping that one of the southern teams winds up replacing the Admirals, but I'm not sure the city can support both the NBA and the NHL.

One thing that has actually annoyed me about Milwaukee bars of late is the distinct lack of Coors Lite. I've always been a Coors fan and thought it would be more common after the Miller/Coors merger, but I've noticed next to no change. But that falls more under what I want than what I expect, I guess. I do; however, think 1-2 types of things (Vodka, whiskey) is a little weak. I drink vodka, usually, and notice most places I go to typically have 3-5 options (Ketel, Grey Goose, Belvidere, Stoli, Smirnoff) and I would assume the selection is similar with other types of drinks. Also, if it's a bar where the focus is more on the restaurant, I expect somewhere between 5-10 white wines and red wines, and an assorted combination of dessert wines and champagnes.

My dad and I have wanted to go for years and are finally going to this Sunday. He asked me if I thought we could bring a cooler (filled with bottled water) to the event, and I wasn't sure. Does anyone on here know if you can? I see their website says no alcoholic beverages can be brought in, but nothing about a cooler its self.

Looked through a few pages and did not see this mentioned elsewhere, sorry if I simply missed it. But apparently because of worries about security during the G20 the Phillies/Jays series in Toronto has been moved. The article I'll link at the end states that Selig felt it was, "the only option." Seems rather weak to me. Isn't there still a stadium in like, oh, Montreal, or Winnipeg...or some site that at least favors the Jays a bit more? Personally, I have some friends in Motreal who are rather annoyed, as they would have loved a chance to see live baseball again, but. Moving the games in general sucks, but to the opposing ballpark? Note: The Jays will still bat last, and they will use the DH. Thoughts? Phillies Jays Series Moved

Tulo in 2007 at Home. .326/.392/.960 15 HR, 60 RBIs 77 Games. Tulo on the Road in 2007. .256/.327/.719 9 HR 39 RBI. Considerably better at Coors Field.... Tulo's Splits Braun's are almost identical home and road. I think that probably swayed the voting a bit. ((in fact, looking at Braun's 2007 home and road splits is kinda scary how similar they are). While Tulo was considerably better defensively..and played in more games, there's a lot to be said about the disparity between his home and away stats, specially with home being Coors field. At least in my opinion. I did not look at career splits to see if that was a 2007 thing, or a common thing.

I bought a Canon Powershot SD890 IS about six months ago, I don't remember how much it was, but remember it being reasonable (got it off of Amazon) it has one drawback that you have to take the battery out to charge it, but it seems to have a rather long battery life, and it does only take about five seconds to remove the thing to charge, so it doesn't irritate me that much. It's a 10 MP with a 5x zoom, silver, and I think it takes great pictures but I use it mostly casually. Really, knowing next to nothing about Cameras, I simply remember looking in my price range on Amazon and reading the reviews of pretty much every different camera and settled on this one. I think its a great camera for what I use it for, which really isn't much. It was easy to figure out and has served me well. Good luck.

Granted, I'm not a very big fan of celebrating too much in baseball...but reading the comments I'm surprised no one asked what the difference is between what the Brewer's did and what most teams do after a walk off of any kind, mainly, jumping around like idiots on the plate mauling the run-scorer. Is there really any difference? No...They're both planed, one just happens to be more 'traditional'. In fact, the Brewers celebration seemed...less...abrasive than the typical walk-off celebration.

I recently did just get it for the last month, HD did mean something to me so I got the premium. But you also get some cool features ((that you may with the regular, I'm not entirely sure)) of like DVR, being able to watch By Inning, in game highlights from games around the league and the ability to set up a 'player tracker' to notify you whenever one of those players was in a game. You may get most of those with either, not sure, it was the HD that made my decision

Players at AAA still have to clear waivers to be traded, right? Specially if they were on the ML Roster?

I've noticed it a little as well. I think it's kinda cool, really. Does make the players pay more attention. In Podsednik's case he'd have been fine had he waited for the time call from the umpire. I think they should have to touch the base before the tag, and stay on it. Then again, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if on, say, a double play they didn't get the second out because the second baseman turning it missed the bag by an inch or something....

Last year after the series in Boston someone posted on a site (or blog..or whatever it was) under the name 'Badger Blogger' that Yost had been fired. Several local news things ran with it.

Am I the only one who thinks most of this is just a hoax? Perhaps that's the wrong word. But frankly, it just seems like Manny just doesn't want to deal with Spring Training. I expect him to sign around the end of the month, maybe middle of April. I could be wrong here, but didn't Manny use to not show up for Red Sox spring training? I think it has much less to do with the money and much more to do with Manny just not feeling like participating in Spring training.

Not really...25 or more counts as a 'group sale' and you have to do it through the Group Sales people rather than just the regular office, but as long as the tickets are available there isn't really a limit on how many one can purchase.

How is Ryan Howard such an amazing hitter for...fouling off balls a foot outside and low? I'm sorry, but...doesn't a good hitter not swing at those and walk?

When did they move him to the outfield? I remember reading a few years ago that he was a second baseman and only a second baseman, then kinda stopped paying attention to the minors for a bit and notice that on the 40-man he's listed as an Outfielder and that he's getting most of his starts in Left and Center? When did this happen and why? Edit: Title spelling. - Toby

Is it sad that one of my first thoughts was Yovani?

Am I the only one who finds it slightly ironic that this argument is coming six years after Miller Park opened? And I haven't heard any complaints about it as is? Personally, I liked the beer mug, but I don't really mind Bernie's Slide, so I don't really care what comes of it, neither is really a bad option to me. I just find it kinda funny that the controversy seems to be starting as the Brewers become more popular... But hey, making the NY Times is pretty cool!

Nothing to do with being a waste of time. I just don't quite see the need to make a post about someones error at the Brewers. To work for the Brewers you don't need to know the cubs schedule and be a die hard baseball fan. It's a mistake that could have happened anywhere in the country, and probably has happened in other stadiums and will for years to come. I don't know if you're suggesting that every employee of every MLB team knows everything that's going on around the league, but the way I see what happened is they screwed up the double header, you pointed it out to them, they fixed it. Why the need to come on Brewerfan and talk about how they screwed up and you had to fix it then chastise the employees for not knowing about the second game. It just seems like something that should have been left at the stadium. It's good your excited and it's good that the issue got fixed. But coming on with a chastise of the employees of the brewers for a mistake isn't really worth it, is it? And really, when it comes right down to it, we should be more worried about what we do rather than impulsively checking scores of what the cubs do. Go out and win and hopefully things will take care of themselves. If they don't, oh well, we've been looking foward to next year for 25 years, what's 26?

I don't really see the point to this post, to be honest with you. Yea, it was kinda a dumb mistake on their part, but you got it taken care of quickly, mistakes happen, this one was rectified efficiently, there probably wasn't even a score in the cub game by the time it was fixed..why the need to post about it?

I agree with the chamber where the sword is. the first arch would be the entrance to the temple of time htne you walk a ways into the chamber with the sword and the distance seems to be about right.

that does seem kinda random...
