Alaska counts and all, but I definitely can understand considering it a different animal altogether. I mean, it's got 2.5X the area of Texas, and more coastline than the rest of the country combined.
Agree with you on western MT, it's spectacular. And if you cross the border from there, it keeps getting better up in the Canadian Rockies.
I don't want to make a bunch of extra work for you, but if you're really up for counting votes off the comments here I can participate that way throughout the tourney. I realize the ship has sailed on the Yount region.
Yeah, kinda. Although he detailed it by saying when he came out of the retreat and he had messages indicating something to the effect that GB wants to move on/trade, he realized the ship had sailed on playing for GB. What I got out of it, anyways. I was working while listening to it...
That would be great, Brock, I'd be all for that. I believe we were in 115 field box last game. I looked back to see how they had the sound rigged and the speakers were spaced all along behind the field level. We weren't right in front of one or anything and it was still obnoxious. Still bringing ear plugs next summer to be on the safe side.
I'm a little apprehensive about the sound system upgrades. I already was annoyed at how loud the sound system was, it just absolutely blasts the sound at you. Maybe I'm just getting old, but when I went to a game last summer I made a mental note to bring ear plugs to the next game I attend.
I used to be a regular on Badgermaniac, there used to be great inside stuff there and it was entertaining. I hadn't thought of it in a long time until the edfunderburk posted the question here. Just went to check out Badgermaniac and apparently it's been defunct since 04 or so from the looks of it. Oh well...
This could just as easily go in the random pointless thoughts thread but here goes. I watched just a few minutes of that new George Lopez show last night. In the episode his daughter’s boyfriend was joining his fantasy baseball league despite not knowing baseball. During the draft the kid blurted out something that sounded like churro. Lopez goes Oh Jackson Chourio from the Brewers? Nice pick I was hoping to get him myself. Couldn’t help getting a kick out of that one. Perhaps one of their writers is on brewer fanatic? 🙂
Another that could be added to the HM list is our #1 overall pick BJ Surhoff. Was mostly a primary catcher and then a primary 3B, but also played a good bit of outfield in a couple seasons. He actually logged innings at every position for Milwaukee except for P.
Also unfortunate (for me anyways) is that Cologuard is not yet an option for me due to the lengthy shipping time for the samples from rural Alaska to reach the lab. So, the prep and scope is going to need to happen sometime in my not too distant future. Unless I can convince my provider and insurer to allow me to do this when I visit Wisconsin this summer...
For the top 5 I'll go:
1 Woodruff
2 Burnes
3 Urias
4 Peralta
5 Adames
It would not shock me to see Frelick, Yelich, Contreras or even Lauer end up in the top 5. And I can also envision some scenarios where Mitchell or even Wiemer could make it, but those scenarios would be surprising to me.
Thanks for this breakdown. One minor quibble thing I'll chime in is that those HR in wins that turn it into a lopsided win, there's value in that above "no impact" because it allows rest for the higher leverage bullpen arms that might have otherwise needed to be used in a closer game.
I agree with this. To answer your question...not really. And also disappointing is that Fielding seems to no longer even be a pervert!
I'm going to give it a few more chances if I happen to be idle and it's on. In addition to Richard Moll, I'd love to see an appearance from Marsha Warfield "Roz" or heck even Buddy, if John Astin would be up for it. He's in his 90s now...
But if you just take their drug, you too can jump from a dock into some pristine water. Or even better, swing from a rope by the shore and cannonball into the lagoon. Frolick on the beach with your beautiful family. Watch whales. I love how they all show the same type of footage while quietly and quickly murmuring all the horrifying potential side effects.
I can't help but wonder if Luis Urias will belong on this list by the end of his Brewers tenure if he ends up moving over to 2b, which appears likely. I envision him doing really well there for us.
I watched the first two episodes of the new Night Court last night, I suppose out of nostalgia for the original. I got some chuckles out of it, I hope it does ok. Reminds me of a more innocent time I suppose. I was hoping Richard Moll would reprise his role as Bull Shannon but so far, no.
Perhaps a better league blackball comp would be Barry Bonds. Nobody seemed to be interested in bringing in Baroid after his contract with the Giants was through. This despite the fact he'd just had an OPS above 1000, the bat could clearly still play. Nobody wanted the image and the circus.
Joe Oliver had a nice season for us in '95, but as far as short-tenure Brewers to throw on the end of a list, I'd have Grandal, Kendall, and of course Damian Miller way ahead of him. Hell, I'd have Henry Blanco ahead of him.
I’m bummed but not surprised tomorrow’s game got canceled. Bummed because Dad and I were going to go, that was my one chance to go to a game this year.
I was just thinking of it from my own perspective. I don't know my credit score, it can't be much. The only loan I ever took out was a student loan and I paid it off early because I had saved some money up and the company Great Lakes had really pissed me off. Yet I'm about as good of a renter as anyone could ever possibly hope to have.
I don’t know what difference credit score would make. That just shows you someone borrowed money and paid it back. I would think your ideal renter has a steady income and doesn’t need to borrow.
Must be nice. Here in Bethel we are locked into the price from whenever our last fuel barge of the year comes, usually end of September. So, it's $6.73 until June.
