    Definitely Niles Rodgers, that's them

    UW-Madison geology Prof. Cliff Thurber estimates today's brief tremor at less than 0.2 on the Richter scale -- enough to be noticed, but well short of calamity. 0.2?!? I think your friend might've been exaggerating just a bit about feeling like they were on a trampoline!

    1. Ontario, WI for every list

    Well, I saw about 20 games there last year and couldn't disagree much more--the San Francisco crowd has absolutely nothing on the MP or Wrigley crowds in terms of alcoholic idiocy. Sorry you had a bad time but I've never seen behavior like that at all there. As far as the field thing goes, the thing about AT&T is the worse your seats are, the better your view of the surroundings. Upper-deck is gorgeous on a clear Saturday afternoon. Of course, it's hard to miss the gigantic coke bottle.

    That is fantastic Hopefully I can get a free Whopper from Chuck Crim or whomever one of these days

    It's all relative: when I went to college in Beloit I really liked going up to Fort Atkinson now and again and always thought Janesville was the worst place in the region, including Beloit which was of course no prize itself.

    Semantics, schemantics: the point of the thread is the same. I for one was pretty shocked to hear that news about Gus Polidor. This is the best I could find about Bryan Clutterbuck, one of my old favorites: http://www.huronvalley.k12.mi.us/athletics/mhs/The%20MHS%20Hall%20of%20Fame/Bryan%20Clutterbuck.aspx

    Wait, we're talking about Janesville here?!?

    Idiocracy is a great movie And wow, eugenics. Really guys?

    I don't understand this 'We'll see him the same amount of times we would have with the Twins" stuff. The fact of the matter is one of the best, if not the best, pitcher in baseball is now going to be pitching for a league opponent for the next several years. There's no way that doesn't make them better and hurt the Brewers.

    I saw a lone Twins fan really get it out in the Fenway bleachers a few years ago, but there was nothing really nasty about any of it...they're were just bustin his baseballs

    I'm pretty sure the Cubs and their fans are well aware of the competition they face from the Crew. I also don't believe that either team will panic if they get swept in that first series, although it will be huge to win it.

    Count me in as another bf.netter who got to personally witness Braun's first homer. Definitely the highlight of that crummy weekend!

    I'm surprised it took this long for someone to mention Comerica. Fantastic park: nice amenities, sightlines, food, etc. The fans have been super-friendly and knowledgeable (a rare combination) every time I've gone. I'm also a really big fan of Phone Company Park here in San Francisco...it loses a few points for getting pretty chilly at times (much warmer than the 'Stick, though). I think Petco is great as well. Personally, I'm making my first trip to Yankees Stadium (which should be the #1 roadtrip for every baseball fan in 08 who hasn't been there) and Dodgers Stadium this year. As of now, I guess my ranking of currently-in-use parks I've been to, all things considered (including amenities, sightlines, food, fans, history, transportation, cost) would go: 1. Comerica Park (Detroit) 2. AT&T Park (San Francisco) 3. Wrigley Field (Cubs) 4. Fenway Park (Boston) 5. Petco Park (San Diego) 6. Miller Park 7. U.S. Cellular Field (White Sox) 8. Turner Field (Atlanta) 9. Tropicana Field (Rays) 10. Busch Stadium (St. Louis) 11. Rogers Centre (Toronto) 12. McAfee Coliseum (Oakland)

    Didn't they have to borrow from social security last time they did this? Serious question.

    Ben Hendrickson isn't legally awful, merely "awful."
  17. SeriesFinale
    There, edited for the pedants among us
  18. SeriesFinale
    Anyone with vision worse than 20-200, which is exactly what Hendrickson had in one eye, is considered legally blind. I think "practically blind" could apply as a stretch. Even though he's obviously not Ray Charles, it's still pretty impressive for a basball player, even a 5.01 ERA pitcher.

    Depression is irrational but still real. That said, I have no idea if this was suicide or what or if he suffered from mental illness or what...it's just all sad regardless. He had what it took to be have possible grown to become one of the all-time greats.
  20. SeriesFinale
    Interesting story; I wonder how this will translate on the field.
  21. SeriesFinale
    I have to imagine it will be Prince, which frightens me after what has quickly seem to become our very own Campbell's Chunky/SI cover curse: 2007-Billy Hall 2006-JJ Hardy 2005-Ben Sheets 2004-Scott Podsednik Injury-riddled and/or disappointing seasons all
  22. SeriesFinale
    It takes 10 days to build a wall and 10 minutes to build it down...I salute fleehaw That said, I wouldn't touch this actual deal(s) with a ten-foot pole, starting with Braun for Cain straight-up
  23. SeriesFinale
    I probably wouldn't disagree. I remember a lot of folks being vaguely disappointed at the time though because it was such an unsexy signing
  24. SeriesFinale
    The Rays have a lease with the city/Tropicana Field for another 26 years so it's close to guaranteed anyway (at the least guaranteed to cost MLB or a new owner A LOT of money/legal fees if they want to move/dissolve the team). You think it's bad now, imagine the Trop in 2033...yikes!

    Approximate istance from Tropicana Field to downtown St. Petersburg: 1.3 miles http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&iwstate1=dir:to&daddr=1+Stadium+Dr+Saint+Petersburg,+FL+33705&fb=1&geocode=9888666139730637832,27.766942,-82.655021&oi=manybox&ct=17&cd=1&resnum=1 Approximate distance from Miller Park to downtown Milwaukee: 4.2 mi http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&saddr=One+Brewers+Way+53214&daddr=717+N+Plankinton+Ave,+Milwaukee,+WI+53203,+USA&sll=43.039295,-87.90893&sspn=0.002799,0.004989&ie=UTF8&z=14&om=1 I should add you don't need to get on an interstate in St. Pete, either. Anyway, I almost started this thread yesterday but I thought it would turn into the standard "Dump on the Rays and Florida" thread that we usually get around here when this team is mentioned. I really like the moves Stu Sternberg has been making and I think this has a strong possibility of happening, which would be a major shot in the arm for this franchise. The Trop has been an albatross around the Rays' neck. Here's a pretty good rundown: http://www.sptimes.com/2007/webspecials07/special_reports/new-ballpark/
