    Agreed. I would really enjoy getting to pick Mr. Attanasio's brain for half an hour or so. Seems like he would be an enjoyable person to have dinner with.

    Yeah, assuming this site does eventually have a Fan Legends section, I don't think you have to worry about a certain someone getting in, at least for a while. Baseball Bob and The Maniac seem like good first candidates, among others.

    www.memory4all.com is another site with a nice memory "scan" feature. Good prices, too.

    To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if Melvin was starting to put some feelers out there. They're on pace for 99 wins right now (yes, I realize that won't likely hold), so I think realistically the Brewers should be well in the thick of things come mid-season. Doing something sooner than later, kind of like last season, would be ideal.

    Really looking forward to watching this one...had a late night out last night and it will just be nice to relax and watch a game this afternoon.

    I agree, though I wouldn't frown at another wild card berth. I just think it would be nice to just completely beat out all five other teams in the division.

    I agree. Doing the retros all the time got kind of old. I kind of wish they would switch it up and maybe have some other old retro jerseys. I'd love to see the current team don the old powder blue road uniforms just once. Like maybe if they're on the road and the home team is doing a retro night as well.

    The Hal computer from "2001: A Space Odyssey."

    I'm not sure if you got the reference there.

    I'm not sure if there are any books about Vader's "lost years." Lucas has been very adamant about not having the books cover that period too much. I'm not really a follower of Star Wars anymore, so that may have changed in the last couple years. The "Tales from..." books are an entertaining read as well. I think there's one about Jabba's Palace, and one about the Bounty Hunters. Basically collections of short stories giving a little more background on some of the more obscure characters from the original movies.

    Glad you enjoyed your trip. As far as the cheese and such, it's because you're spoiled a bit. Wisconsin has the best cheese in the world.

    "but I'd go as so far as to offer Sheets $10 million for one half a season." That just seems financially irresponsible to me. The guy would be coming off elbow surgery and sitting out half a season, and there's no telling what kind of rust he might have. If he were to go on the DL again before the end of the year, it would probably be about the most useless $10 million spent in one season ever for the Brewers. Realistically, it should take about half that amount to sign him to a 3-4 month deal at this point. I personally like the idea of trading for a multi-year "anchor" guy, like you said. Obviously, that would be ideal. I just think there's no one in the Brewers' pipeline who looks like they can be a solid upper rotation type. Someone to help Gallardo shoulder the burden would be a huge boon for this team going forward, in my opinion.

    I have Lackey on my fantasy team, too. Disappointing debut to say the least.

    Do these guys realize Mike Cameron started it? Do they even have a clue? I mean, Cameron is a veteran player, and generally a very well talked about and highly respected player around the entire MLB. Are they saying Mike Cameron doesn't respect baseball and his uniform? They're just untucking a shirt...they're not taking it off and twirling it around, or kicking dirt on an opposing team uniform. These guys need to get a life and maybe look at why the Brewers are beating them. It's not due to the fact that some of their players untuck their jerseys after winning a game.
  15. Invader3K
    According to this, that is correct. Makes you wonder if they'll ever just officially retire it, even though Gantner isn't a Hall of Famer. Seems kind of silly to have a number "unofficially retired."
  16. Invader3K
    While I do think Attanasio probably had some hand in that signing (obviously he made it a priority to meet with the guy), I think it's pretty speculative to say he forced it or something. I have to believe if Melvin really thought it was going to be a bad deal that he could have somehow talked Attanasio out of it. I don't think any of us really know.
  17. Invader3K
    You would think Selig would figure out a way to fix it sooner than later, since you know, he used to own the Brewers.
  18. Invader3K
    The only problem is if he keeps pitching this well, he could be a $10 million/yr pitcher. I'm not sure if the Brewers will have it in their budget to pay a #3 type pitcher that, even though they're paying Suppan more than that now. Then again maybe it would work out just fine since Suppan won't be on the payroll after next season.

    "I think there is a difference between approval and acceptance of different ideals." I alluded to this earlier in one of my posts...but I asked of those who accept his actions, "Do you really think it's cool and admirable what he's doing?" No one has chimed in and said "Hell yeah sure it's cool, I'm going to start doing it too!" If you were a parent, would you want your kid seeing how this guy has acted and think that's something they should emulate? "Since it's Hy's property, obtained in a legal manner, it is unfair for Coghlan to ask for it back. " What? A player can't even ask for a special ball back? Considering how much precedent there has been for baseball players retrieving "monumental" baseballs, I think that's being naive. Also, to those who say HY isn't depriving others of baseballs...say he's at batting practice, in the bleachers, and there's some kids around. They see this guy about twice their size running around up front, acting like he basically owns the place. Do you really think they have a fair chance to catch a ball? I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to do it, but when you're catching a dozen or so balls during a freaking batting practice, it's getting kind of obscene in my opinion. I think my moniker of "ball hog" is much more appropriate than this term "ball hawk" these guys seem to have given themselves.

    Not to nit pick, but the date in the title is wrong. Good job on the pics though! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  21. Invader3K
    Yeah, I can definitely empathize. Maybe you can try stubhub or selling outside the stadium before or after today's game? Hope it works out for you one way or another.
  22. Invader3K
    I don't know...maybe they could have tried to squeeze in a double header yet this weekend, but that's not always possible.
  23. Invader3K
    "It's so easy to judge someone without meeting them." Sounds like sheethead has met him, or at least seen enough of him in person to form an opinion that doesn't seem that far fetched. I know some of you know HY fairly well, maybe are even friends with him, and I can see why people would defend him. I don't think it's unfair to say his actions here and in other incidents have left a bad impression on quite a few, though.
  24. Invader3K
    At least you're not bringing up the "He's from Wisconsin" angle http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I don't know, I just get the hunch that if the Brewers are still in it, they will go for someone bigger. Someone to help Gallardo carry the load, hopefully.
  25. Invader3K
    If I ever saw someone shoving kids out of the way at a game, well, I'd have more than a mouthful to say about it, that's for sure.
