    The Ambassador has a shuttle service that will take you anywhere in town, and I'm pretty sure it runds 24/7. I'd just have them drop you at the park, and either arrange a pick up after or just cab it. There are usually a ton of cabs right outside of MP post-game.

    Sadly, Holiday House closed about 6 months ago. Hinterland, in that same neighborhood is excellent. My favorite in Milwaukee is Crazy Water.

    $12 and all is right in the world again. Thanks.

    I've had both of these set at 100 for a while and my profile reflects this, however this morning I can only see 25 for each, even though my settings are unchanged. Not a huge deal, but kind of annoying to have to flip through so many pages. Anyone else encountering this? I'm on IE6 at work, with no other option. (edit: added answer to the question to the title --1992)

    I think this is just another example of inconsistent ushers at Miller Park. Depending on where you're sitting, it might be ok to spit seeds, stand up, cheer, yell obscenities, etc. Other sections, not so much. On the whole, the ushers are much better than the old cranky guys that haunted County Stadium.

    Even when I was there, the rivalry was mostly basketball and baseball-related. Totally agree on the whole "Private College is expensive" idea.

    Yeah, class of '99. I believe Brewers19 did, too. Well, I guess we can't be friends. Ripon College '98 (87 spots above Beloit)

    SF- Did you go to Beloit?

    You got moved from Club to Terrace row 20? I'd heard that a lot of club people got moved, but that seems like a significant downgrade. I have a 20 pack in the bleachers, next to the visitor's bullpen (row 6) and got moved to the RF loge bleachers, row 4, which I think are comparable, if not better.

    I think the new CC album (Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings) is their best since their debut.

    Here's the thing: It's a $60 tshirt that most people have purchased because some other dude's name is on it. Not only that, but I find it weird to see grown men in wizard/dragon/tiger/samurai screen-printed shirts. You can buy something similar at Kohl's now for less than half the price. We kept track of how many we saw at Summerfest and we got into double digits in one day. And here's the weird thing to me: the guys wearing them tend to be muscle-bound, fit, "cool" guys. And yet, these guys would have beat up a kid in high school who was wearing a tshirt with a dragon on it. Now, because it says Ryan Braun and is $60 - it's ok to wear. I just find it silly, I guess. I have yet to see a Braun appearance where he's wearing something other than a jersey or Affliction gear. He did a signing at a car dealership a month or two ago and had jeans with skulls screenprinted on them. And I just can't help but think what mid-20-something wears screenprinted jeans, you know? And pays $200 for them? Well, there is a world of fashion that extends beyond Kohl's and Summerfest. I disagree that people only buy these items because they're $60 and worn by Braun. Items like this are hot right now, and people with discerning taste can tell the difference between Affliction and Kohl's. Affliction is not marketing to Joe-six pack. Check out a GQ or Esquire, this is the direction fashion is going. It just takes a little longer to get to the Midwest, but the fact that Kohl's is entering that market proves that people are buying.

    If you even out the leagues, you get 15 teams in each league. 14 of those teams play each other, the odd team from each league has to play interleague.

    I'm aware he can turn down a contract, but when was the last time you heard of a player doing that? I'm sure many players have places they'd rather (or rather not) play. But the fact is the players union strongly discourages players taking any kind of discount. Remember when ARod signed with Texas? He said he didn't even want to play there, but had to because they offered so much money. I think Sheets will wind up with the Yankees, but not because he likes the climate of New England. I mean, what cities are not hot and/or humid in the summer? I guess he could go to Minnesota and pitch in the dome for a couple of years. Maybe he could make the AC settings part of his contract.

    Just because he was put on waivers doesn't mean he was destined for Arizona. Most players are put on waivers this time of year, before any conversations start with other teams.
  15. chuckiehacks
    I think there might have been teams interested, they just had waiver priority after Arizona. Cubs, Cards, Yankees, Rays likely would have all claimed him. Really, other than LA, no one that passed is in contention.
  16. chuckiehacks
    This makes no sense, NY is plenty humid in the summer. Also, if he hates spring training, its not from the humidity - there are few places less humid than Arizona. Like every other member of the players' union, Sheets will be playing for the team that offers him the most money.

    I've seen the change in the quality of posts, but I've just changed the way I use the board. I've been around for years, but as my post count shows, I don't post that often. I enjoy the analysis and the well-thought out opinions of the team, and I know I can get that from a relatively small group of regular posters. Thus, when I see their posts I generally pay closer attention. Likewise, there are some threads (and posters) that I generally ignore, mostly the Yost and Vent threads. I know what's in there, and its generally not the type of discussion I'm seeking. That's not to say there is not a place for that here, quite the opposite. It does get frustrating when that venting flows to other threads, but the mods here do a great job of preventing that for the most part. I came here from the JS boards, so this is still head and shoulders above that cesspool.

    I can't believe everyone is giving Manny Parra a pass on this. There are plenty of pitchers that watch the entire game, not go pout in the clubhouse. Get your ice and sit on the bench. Sheets does it, so does Suppan, even Bush does it and he's watching a lot of innings after he comes out. Yes, Prince overreacted and was out of line, especially shove #2, but Parra has to be a team player too, not a child going to cry in the locker room because he fell apart.

    Not sure if this has been covered, but at today's game, between nearly every inning they were giving away prize packages including tickets to Ravinia, a stay at the Chicago Courtyard by Marriott, gifts from the Chicago Botanical Society and a year's subscription to Chicago Magazine. Are we still trying to attract Chicagoans? I highly doubt any of them were on the fence but were swayed by the chance to win botanical gifts. Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one?

    Even Craigslist has gotten crazy. I was on there last night looking for a single for the day game Thursday and there's not much close to face value. Granted its the Cubs, but the Brewers are actually becoming a tough ticket.
  25. chuckiehacks
    Pedro, thanks for your continued generosity. I'd enjoy the tickets and sitting with you, you certainly seem to be a great fan. And I love playing hookie!
