    I got married on July 18. At the rehearsal dinner as a surprise to me, my wife brought out a small wrapped present. I open it to find a framed note written by Braun congratulating me on getting married and an RSVP signed (declined) for our wedding invitation. Apparently my wife invited Ryan Braun to our wedding, knowing that I am a huge fan of his. She knew he would decline but wanted to see if he would sign the RSVP card and send it back. He did along with the note. This will be on my wall forever and will eventually be passed down to my kids. Really cool that he would take the time to do something like that.

    Anyone ever tried beer from Central Waters Brewery in Amherst, WI? The stuff is fantastic...everything I've tried has been really complex and interesting. Notables include the Bourbon Barrel Cherry Stout, Mudpuppy Porter, and the Ouishconsing Red. I HIGHLY recommend getting some if you are in the Waupaca/Iola/Amherst area.

    I heard CareerBuilder.com is the best resource for jobseekers...

    The sport would be much more competitive with 100% revenue sharing than a salary cap, IMO. Revenue sharing would also be more easily approved by the union.

    Thanks for your help everyone. In the end I decided that it was too valuable to toss, and we ate it this morning before the game. Not sick yet... (crossing my fingers)

    Yeah, I threw them right in the fridge this morning. I think the drain just doesn't fully seal the bottom of the sink. I'm marinating them to cook Sunday morning for a Packer tailgate...I just don't want to make anyone sick.

    Last night around 9pm I put some vacuum sealed, frozen wild duck breasts in a sink full of cold water to defrost. I fell asleep and woke up at 6am to find the water gone and the birds completely defrosted. Does anyone know if they are safe to cook now? I feel like they should be fine... Let me know if I run the risk of death.

    What is the over/under on number of posts until this thread gets locked? I'll go with 7...

    Am I missing something here? I read Capuano was supposed to get the start, and the frontpage of the Brewers website says "listen live as Capuano takes on Carlos Silva." Was he a late scratch?

    That lineup really doesn't impress me one bit. I would hope that we are able to acquire another power bat.

    You really think they're going to $120 million JohnBriggs? I think they may go over $100 million but I doubt it goes much higher. All indications here in Chicago is that payroll for the Cubs will be in that $120 mil range. They are serious about contending fast because of the increased popularity of the Sox.

    does he ever post on bf.net anymore? i havent seen him on here in months.

    My friend and I are sitting in section 104 right now (on my mobile internet), i cant believe how far the Koskie flyout traveled...the ball is really flying out tonight. On an unrelated note, there are a lot of good looking females in the park tonight. war hot college girls.

    haha....6-3 just made my argument sound much better than 5-3...

    I think it should be pretty clear to all now that you *cant* just plug a rookie (or young player) in place of a veteran and expect them to produce without growing pains. we have seen the growing pains of prince and rickie so far this year, and the only consistent run producer has been carlos. think we'd be 6-3 this year with cruz instead of lee? i dont think so...

    DHonks, while you say Gross looks good in the field, he looks absolutely horrible at the plate. In the 4 games we have seen so far this spring, Gross has done nothing to warrant him making the team. Although it is *only* spring training, this is my first impression of him and he is hardly proven in the big leagues. He should not make the 25 man, Cruz is really deserving. I like him more and more each time I see him.

    Is the game on TMJ today or just internet???

    Adding on to what Roco said, Krynzel wasn't playing that deep, and was absolutely sprinting to get to that ball, and never slowed down. It wasn't one of those wait at the wall and jump catches. It should be pretty high up on sportscenter's plays of the week.

    1. Last year, Rickie Weeks signed major-league deal that will guarantee him a minimum of $4.8 million. If he reaches the majors in 2006 (which is very likely), then it becomes $5.1 million. Mark Rogers recently signed for a $2.2 million signing bonus. This is almost $3 million the Brewers saved on their first round pick alone. By signing Weeks to a Major League deal, doesn't that enable the team to divide his bonus up throughout the life of his deal? I'm not positive about this, but I thought I remembered someone within the organization saying something about that. If that is the case, then they really wouldn't be "saving" money this year, as they would have to pay more upfront. Also, paying a draft pick $5 million was the exception, not the rule. Its not like they are saving money, because they will not be spending such a large amount of money on their first pick each year.

    I have a feeling that Nelson and Hart are more major league ready then some people think. Hart is absolutely tearing it up, and with Nelson healthy he is going to dominate AA. I got to see Nelson a lot in Beloit when he was in A, and just by watching him you can tell he has great natural hitting ability. I have no doubts in my mind he is going to be an absolute stud in the majors.

    I think this seals Kinney's spot in the bullpen. Thank god for Hendrickson pitching well at AAA...let's hope he gets called up sooner rather than later.

    cool, im going on vacation this week, but i'll plan on ordering a few of those. I'll e-mail you. Any word on the store being re-opened?

    Hey do you guys still have Brewerfan.net bumper stickers?? If not, It would be a pretty cool way to promote the site. I know I would have fun sticking them all around Milwaukee. I would like to buy a few if you still have them..... thanks.

    "If Weeks can keep hitting like he has been (small sample size, I know...), I can live with the defensive shortcomings. " Regardless of sample size, shouldn't we expect the number 2 pick in the draft and the best college baseball player of 2003 to be able to hit?

    Whats the deal with Shelley? Is he really as good as his box scores are indicating?
