    I was at the game last night and just wanted to convey a little moment that happened in between innings (the 4th or 5th-I can't remember). They showed an old commercial of Bob Uecker where he is essentially just talking and acting like a goofball-I couldn't quite make out what he was saying or if he was selling anything. They showed it as a bit of a segway to tonight's game when we honor him. Anyways, after they showed it, the entire crowd stood and turned toward the 620 booth and gave Bob about a minute long ovation. Bob was raising his hands and waving back to everybody and even did the "I'm not worthy" worship motion back to the fans. Very cool. Just thought I would share.

    I think I remember a post on here that read that the Brewers' record for most home wins in a season at Miller Park was only 37 or 38. Assuming I'm remembering correctly, the Crew is now at 32. How great would it be to see them tie or eclipse that mark on this homestand? They can definitely do it. Great games by Cappy and Weeks. A question I got for Brewer fans: If Chris Capuano is referred to as Cappy, then what should Jose Capellan be referred to as? Cappy #2, Cappy Deuce, etc. is too obvious.

    Braun with a couple of hits. Fermaint with a jack. Salome with a double and a run-he also picked off a guy at first base. And Derek Miller with a good outing so far. I love this West Virginia team.

    Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space (at least I think that's what it is) is on channel 7 right now. Definitely a movie that can be described as awesomely bad. I'm loving it. I've only heard about this movie and read some reviews but never thought I'd get the chance to see it. Anybody else ever see any of Ed Wood's stuff? I've heard Glen or Glenda is "worth" seeing too.

    The look on the Rotoruder's face in that picture is priceless, like he's looking back onto the field and can't believe what just happened. Seems like Hardy is reassuring him, "Yeah, it did happen." I also checked out the video highlights on milwaukeebrewers.com. Chad Moeller did a nice job of blocking Wilson's slide with his foot when he tagged him out on Jenkins' throw. I thought he was safe from where I was sitting at the game, but I was wrong. Definitely a balk on the replay. No doubt. I would have loved for the Brewers to get a hit or a sac to win the game, but definitely a balk. At least we can now refer to it as the Balk Off game.

    Just got back from the game. Heck of a crowd. I was sitting just below the left field foul pole in foul territory right in the corner. When Carlos hit his homer, for a split second I thought it was foul from my vantage point, but then the place just errupted. When Carlos came out to left field in the top of the ninth, he got a standing ovation from the entire corner area. He waved his hand and tipped his cap to everyone a few times in appreciation. It was a pretty cool moment. A few other points of view: For whatever it's worth, it seemed like the Brewers were getting a lot of low strikes called against them. I didn't have the best view from where I was sitting, plus I'm just a tad biased. The Ned Yost ejection was very enjoyable. It was fun watching Ned "going to bat" for his star rookie and the team as a whole. It really didn't seem to help any though, which led me and my friend to ask the question, "Has a bench coach taken over after the manager got ejected and later on gotten ejected himself?" I have no idea if that was a balk or not, but my first thought was that the first base ump was ringing up the runner on first base for getting tagged out. My heart sank. A second passed. I realized what just happened. Everybody then went nuts. By the way, I'm 2-0 at Miller Park when I wear my Brewerfan.net shirt.

    Yes, I did see that. When you gotta floss, ya gotta floss I guess. It reminds me of Johnny Damon clipping his toenails in the dugout during the ALCS.

    It was touched on earlier in this thread, but I thought I would describe what Carlos Lee was doing in the dugout. He first took a towel, wrapped it around his head in a mock turban style and pretended to play a bat as a flute a la a snake charmer. He then spent the better part of 3 or 4 minutes fashioning a snake with a towel and white tape. He then stuck the "snake" in the handle of one of the gatorade containers so it was sort of sticking straight up. Next, he again pretended to play the bat as a flute directed at the snake he just made. Unbelieveable. The camera stayed on him off and on throughout the entire thing as I sat there with my mouth open shaking my head, and trying not to laugh. My question is: Who is the bigger goon on the Brewers, Carlos Lee or Ben Sheets?

    Is anybody somewhat suprised that Prince is only batting .241 in AAA after seeing him bat for the Brewers? I have a hard time believing he's batting under .300. He looked so focused and dialed in with every at bat with the Brewers. I mean, he's still getting his home runs at Nashville but he's not hitting "for average." It's probably not worth reading much into it, I was just so impressed with his limited at bats with the Brewers. How is a man who is that big swing a bat so well?

    I recommend the Lakefront Brewery Tour. $5 bucks gives you a tour, a glass, and 4 drinks. It is truly a beautiful thing in the middle of the afternoon. Especially when you are with a bunch of girls who won't use their 4 drink tokens so they give them to you. It's going to be a short night. I am such a lightweight.

    Brian, I am holding you personally responsible if the Brewers don't sign a big time free agent this offseason because we won't get that guy's money...my man.

    I have decided to use my 100th post to bring good luck to the Brewers this game and help them get a win. I was going to use my 100th post for evil, but then decided against it. Anyways, not much to offer except Go Crew!

    I am also officially worried about Krynzel. Not including Rookie Ball, his K:BB has been pretty bad since he was drafted and he has apparently done nothing to try to improve this since he's been in the minors. His batting stats look a like the '04 Podsednik to me. Not good if you want to be a successful lead-off guy. I honestly can't remember the last Nashville boxscore I looked at where he didn't strike out. He's got a lot of RBIs though, so maybe he's "clutch." But after watching Fielder and Hart turn it around in AAA after slow starts, maybe it's Krynzel's turn now. But at this point, all I can say is that I'm truly appreciative of the season that Brady Clark is having at the plate. Meanwhile, Braun and Salome both with another good game at the plate. What the Helena is with that team?!?!

    Taubenheim is definitely not a strike-out machine, but man is he efficient. On a sidenote for Brevard County, Steve Sollman with a 3 for 3 effort and a walk. After struggling for much of season, if I'm not mistaken Sollman has slowly increased his Batting Average by about 20 points in the last three weeks. He still doesn't seem to show much gap power, and at 23 maybe he's a tick old for A+, but it's just nice to see a little hitting from that team. It's also nice to have Adam Heether playing everyday.

    Is this guy going to be the Brewers version of Carlos Zambrano? I can't tell if I like him or hate him. Since he's a Brewer, I'll go with like. I predict a healthy placement onto the Power 50 based soley on the strength of this article. If anything, this kid seems pretty funny.

    He can apparently hit too. Dennis Sarfate helping his own cause with a three run homer in the top of the 5th. It was Sarfate's second home run of the year and it was part of a Stars 12 run 5th inning that saw 17 Stars come to the plate. Angel Salome watch: no home runs so far tonight but he does have a double. It seems like there is an organizational epidemic of hitting and scoring runs today. Even West Virginia getting in on it. I feel spoiled. Edit: Sarfate hit a 3 run shot not a grand slam. My bad.

    Canadians are on metric time.

    Well said BadgerFan. Touche.
  19. heresrobin
    Scary good or scary average?

    How did Rickie look during the DP?
  21. heresrobin
    Does Wes Helms have a future as a DH/part time1B/3B in the AL? I'm sorry I ever doubted you Wes!

    Three 1st inning errors for the Sounds. That's no way to welcome G-Love. These games are weird with no Prince or Rickie. The Sounds with a six run bottom of the 4th. They had about five infield hits in a row (I lost track) including a bases loaded suicide squeeze. Corey Hart batting over .280 - he is 2 for 2 so far tonight with a double and two walks. Keep it going Corey!

    This is probably common knowledge. But what internet source puts out game lineups first? I know I'm not the only one who is going to be very interested to see that for tonight's game.
  24. heresrobin
    Not a big deal, but in the player profile Brewerfan has, Garrison is listed as a righty? But he's a lefty, correct?
