There will be plenty of tickets at the designated spot. There always are.

Butch banked in a 3 with a couple ticks on the clock once too. Gasser rushed it to make sure he got it off in time, but all that matters is it went through the hoop. Tough break for Michigan, it was such a bad shot, it was able to bank back in.

Would you want/support an MLS team in Milwaukee?
dadofandrew replied to paul253's topic in Off-Topic Forum
Soccer is only about 15-16 games, and about 20K per, so 300K...10% of the Brewers, and about 40% of the Bucks attendance. I don't see MIL being neat the top of the list, so it's probably several years away, if ever. I like soccer in that you do not have to be big and strong to be a solid player, and that in order to play, it takes...a ball. I think the MLS is growing and doing it right. Until someone builds a new stadium, the question is moot, as there is nowhere to play even for a year. -
He made his debut 2 years after he was drafted just like Braun. Both struggled defensively. Considering Rickie's level in college, it's no surprise he took a while, despite his fast bat and athletic ability.

Yep, my Subway only has one sub not on the list, the cheese steak. Have to double check your order next time. As for TRU, you can you the coupon on a monitor, or a baby item that is not a toy. They are trying to promote themselves as more than a toy store, but granted, when you put a coupon like that out, you are bound to be mocked.

I always find it ironic when a young player is rushed to the big leagues, puts up solid but not all-star numbers, and then when they improve around age 26-27, folks are puzzled. It doesn't always occur, but this is a normal progression.
-
I was comparing them to the year they were awful, probably '08, when Sheets was part of the staff. 2 wins over average, 4 wins over terrible sounds about right.
-
A good hitting staff can probably create about 40 runs a season more than a poor one. As Macha said, the ability to get bunts down (and avoid DP's) might lead to 15-20 more. It's far from meaningless.

The antibiotic will knock out any infection it can. It may help your body have more immunity to fight the other crap. On a single case basis, it's no problem and fine, but the risk is, superbugs will develop if they prescribe them to everyone. If you are of normal health, you'll recover in a week or two regardless. However, if you're like many of us, it's tough to rest, eat soup, and wait to feel better for 7-10 days.

The law has not caught up to the technology. My opinion? It's certainly not "legal," but you might well be hard pressed to find a law to find where it is "illegal." The irony here is, that's almost exactly the situation with online poker in the US...no law says it is illegal, as all they would have to do is pass one that said so. The Wire Act, which many use to say it is illegal, is hopelessly outdated, as hardly anyone uses phone lines anymore to play. In closing, I'd say it's "legal" in so far no one is going to come after your son, much like no one does time for playing poker online...many pros get paid handsomely to rep sites, and are often in public. More than half the field for the WSOP qualified online, and you can trace that, sites collect SS numbers now. The US will either convince Paypal and the like to stop funding, or convince Russia to shut them down. Until then, the lack of illegality makes me say it's legal for all intents and purposes...until they catch up.

Taylor was ranked #110 in something I read, that's all college players. It seems to reason many of those kids will stay in, but even top 50 is a stretch. If he continues to develop like he has of late, who knows, but unless he's a terrible student, he'd be a fool to come out and risk not even being drafted.

They use all white meat now in McNuggets. I think they were juicer before with some dark in there. And there is no bone in mechanically separated meat, they use special machines to extract more meat off the bone, including a sieve of some kind. It's kind of like the Native Americans never letting anything go to waste, except for some reason, people act like Tyson and businesses like them should throw out the entire carcass unless it's prime cuts. If they used bone, they would have to include that in the ingredients, like they do on dog food. That is some quality stuff there, especially the marrow, but it's not used for human consumption.

FYI, the Grammys different awards are for different people, performer, producer, writer, etc. No idea who gets what.

Charlie Greene was the best defensive catcher I've ever seen. If he could have hit .250, he'd have been a superstar.
-
A video baby monitor is cheap and would work as well, doubt you can save it easily however. You might have one, or be able to get one used for nothing from a friend as well.

The buns should be removed, but other than that, delicious.

Mark Rogers' velocity: behind the ESPN paywall.
dadofandrew replied to bjkrautk's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
I read that entire article and I do not have Insider. It is somewhere else on the web, do not recall where. I think it was a Twitter link. Copied at a Pirates' forum. -
Not much there, when said and done. If you tell your scouts to look for live arms and speed, they would not have missed a single big leaguer that's appeared in MIL. It's also stunning how rarely the draft fails to find the top prospects, or that affiliates find them if they have the ability.

If You Could Move One Team...
dadofandrew replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
AAA attendance does not mean a thing as far as MLB attendance. Denver never drew all that well, I doubt Phoenix did either. Given recent census figures, I don't see Buffalo ever being considered. -
If You Could Move One Team...
dadofandrew replied to Warning Track Power's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I agree with DHonks, I think it will be 32 in MLB soon. Vegas and NY/NJ are by far the best options, though Portland would work in a SEA way. I think many of us will see a team in Mexico in our lifetime as well. -
I recall years ago many said Rick S was too negative. That said, you can change my title all you want, unless you pay me more, I don't care. Reminds me of the Seinfeld when Jerry asked Elaine what her new title at Peterman was, and she proudly said she was an associate.

I like the 4 point backcourt shot. The rest of the rules are normal or puzzling. 100 team league? Strange.

I love the Chicago version. We should cheer every time the song is sung. The USA is free because it was willing to fight for its freedom...it wasn't a gift. It's a song to honor the flag, the nation, and those who fought for it. While America the Beautiful is a lovely song, it does not symbolize what we stand for like the National Anthem does.

As I said, the top 8 teams tend to make it through the first weekend easily, but not always, of course. There just isn't much difference between the 9th best team and the 22nd (3/6 matchup). On a related note, when the 7/10 or 6/11 teams play, the lower seed is often simply a better team at the time, due to injuries, momentum, or just gelling more/better. Pretending it's an "upset" is kind of silly. That said, Izzo has proven his ability over and over. Any dislike of him is envy or just goofy. I'm not a fan of Coach K for several reasons, but I'd never say he hasn't won a ton.

The success the Badgers have had under Bo (and Dick Bennett before) is astounding to many of us who have been fans for 35 years. Wasn't that long ago when an NIT bid was a huge accomplishment. As pointed out above, it's tough to win several games in a row versus top teams, as even a #1 seed is only favored by a comfy margin in its 1st game. One bad shooting night, one hot shooting night by an opponent, a couple touch fouls knocking a top player to the bench with 15 minutes left in the first half, that's all it takes. The tourney is a crapshoot, and usually, unless you are one of the top eight teams, it's a battle just making it past the first weekend. The reason that it is a joy to watch and enjoy is also why it's frustrating for a top team. A 4 of 7 series would yield a top 4 or 8 of almost exclusively the top 16 seeded teams. The one and done format is conducive to upsets, and that's why it's the spectacle it is.
