Ok..possibly...but I have no idea what you are talking about when you post things like "Don't update your profile or click on the 'just for you' link" or "holler if you are missing private messages"

- never broke a bone - never seen avatar - don't plan to..unless maybe it's on cable and there is nothing else to watch. - never seen any of the terminator movies - never lived alone - never visited an art museum (nothing against art...just never got around to it) -never tweeted or have joined any other social network - never visited any other country other than Canada (only because I have relatives there) and I really don't have a desire to (unless maybe it's an all inclusive resort in a warm climate). - never had a dog as a pet -my son is 12 and he has never had a soda (hates the carbination). I really liked the "never been in Cliff Clavin's kitchen". TracyThom..never seen an episode of Seinfeld?!...I have a hard time wrapping my head around that one. There is hardly a day that goes by that someone I work with or associate with does not throw out a Seinfeld reference during a conversation.

Really?? I thought we have seen them down there several years now, but my memory is not great. I think Ewizabeff referred to this in a previous post, but it's worth repeating. If you go down there and would like to get a game at Maryvale early and wonder around the complex (watch some of the prospects work out), you can access the practice diamonds by going left of the main entrance to the main diamond. There gate is usually open, however it has the feeling like you are entering an area that you are not allowed to enter....but you are.

Leaving tomorrow...wish we could have had better weather for the last two days. This is our 8th or 9th year down here and Sunday was the first time we had a game rained out on us (the first year we were here - 2002? - there was a game rained out at Oakland's field, but it got moved to Maryvale). The crowds (especially Brewer fans) have gotten much bigger since our first year here. I was really impressed at the number of Brewer fans at the road games against SF and Oakland. In fact the Brewer fans at the Oakland game broke in to a rousing rendition of Roll out the Barrel during the 7th inning stretch. We were sitting right in front of the Brewer bullpen during the Oakland game. Rodgers was so nervous before he entered the game. He was throwing a lot of wild pitches during his bullpen session. Braun signed a lot of autographs at the Oakland game. Something we have never seen at past ST games we have been to. I think The Ice Man goes down to ST every year. Not sure if he down there during the entire ST, but we have seen him there for the last 3 or 4 year. My dad called me three times today to tell us he saw us on TV. The last time was during the 7th inning stretch I guess as we were standing and "swaying" to Roll out the Barrel. So, if anyone was watching the game today and saw that...that was me and my family. If you are looking for a fun place to eat while at ST...try Oregano's (spelling?) in Scottsdale. Fun Italian restaurant that focuses on pizza..would be really fun with a group of people.

So we flew out of Mitchell today on our way to AZ. Never noticed this before, but my son pointed out the sign that hangs above the area right after you go through security. It reads "Recombobulation Area". Not sure if this is the common name in all airports, but we all found this very funny. So basically going though security gets you discombobulated and you need an area to recombobulate. I didn't even know that recombobulationi was a word. Also, we have always found it interesting that we can never find a pizza with sausage on it in a grocery store in Phoenix.Its such a standard pizza ingredient in Wisconsin. -
Wow, that is a great deal. Thanks for the info!

There was a previous thread about this topic in the OT forum: http://forum.brewerfan.net/search.php?keywords=589851#reply-589851 This is a good site for comparing car rental prices: http://www.carrentals.com/

Just a pointer to anyone who possibly made reservations months ago. If you made rental car reservations, re-check the rates. They seemed to have gone down quite a bit. We are leaving for AZ on Wednesday and reserved our car way back in October through FOX rent a car. Well, I checked rates today and they were 25% cheaper than our original reservation. So, I canceled the original reservation and made a new one.

It bothers me that they can't make normal pants that convert in to shorts. Why do they all have to be made out of some sort of nylon/parachute type of material and have all this elastic around the waist with some sort of mesh lining inside? I'm just looking for tan Dockers that covert into shorts. How hard is that?
-
Yeah...what is Bonanza? We will be there for that game.

Lee Ho Suk....All I can think of is Werewolves of London.. Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein....Owwooooo....Werewolves of London. Yes...I know, it Lee Ho Fook in the song.

Left work downtown at about 4:20. Pulled into my driveway in Waukesha at 6:00pm. Took the freeway. Normally a 30 to 40 minute drive during normal rush hour conditions. A good percentage of the time was spent on the 6th and Clyborn on ramp. I think I was on there for 20 minutes before I completely merged into traffic. I really hate the onramp configurations to go West out of Milwaukee since the reconstruction of the Marquette interchange. There are really only two options and the one that's closest for me (6th and Clyborn) is backed up on a consistant basis. Never had those issues before the new interchange was built.

Suppose to get 3-6 inches of lake effect snow in Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha. I don't remember seeing anything about this on the news this morning.

How is that the coaches' fault? Isn't that 100% on the skater?I think it's completely the coach's fault. Some one equated it to a 3rd base coach. I'll equate it the caddy who doesn't realize that there are too many clubs in the bag. It's his job. It's the coaches job to understand what lane the skater should be in. The skater has every right to be upset. The coaches job is pretty simple compared to what the athlete had to go through just to get to that level of competition.

Sheets first spring start will come against the Brewers
Patrick425 replied to TheCrew's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
We'll be there (going to ST the 3rd-9th). Actually purchased tickets back in December. Front row down the 3rd base line in front of the Brewer's bullpen. I always buy tickets in advance if I know the Brewer's are going to play at the A's stadium since they don't have outfield grass seats ' -
There is just way too much skating and it's taking up way too much prime time coverage. There's singles, doubles, dancing, figure skating, not to mention the several phases of each competition. I know that there is a certain demographic that loves the "sport", but then there is a certain demographic that has no interest in it at all and you can hear all the TVs turning to other entertainment such as college basketball or something like that. Also, Is there one phase of figure skating where the skaters actually have to skate figure 8's and other figures? I swear that I saw this televised during one of the Olympics (maybe it was during the Harding/Kerrigan drama). Talk about boring. Edit: OK...found this on Wikipedia..guess they don't do the compulsory figures anymore: Compulsory figures, in which skaters use their blades to draw circles, figure 8s, and similar shapes in ice, and are judged on the accuracy and clarity of the figures and the cleanness and exact placement of the various turns on the circles. Figures were formerly included as a component of singles competitions but were eliminated from those events in 1990. Today figures are rarely taught or performed. The United States was the last country to retain a separate test and competitive structure for compulsory figures, but the last national-level figures championship was held in 1999

Doesn't MLB audio usually give free access to ST games? I know they used to.

i need suggestions for camping in milwaukee area
Patrick425 replied to patrickgpe's topic in Off-Topic Forum
I'm not really much for camping, but have you looked at this spot (Kettle Moraine)? It's a little over an hour from Milwaukee: http://wisconsinstateparks.reserveamerica.com/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=WI&parkId=60068 My in-laws "camp" there all the time. I'm not sure what they do is considered camping though. They have a trailer and many of the comforts of home and don't really take advantage of the park when they are there. They basically just grill out and sit in their lawn chairs. Not sure why they even go. Basically what they do could be done in their back yard. I never explored the park that much when I was there to visit the in laws, but it seems like a pretty big park with most of the items you mentioned in your post. -
On a more positive note?? I was thrilled when I woke up and there was only 3" on the ground and it was pretty much done.
-
Yeah, usually booking early works out well...except for me last year. I booked in September (2008) for the 2009 ST. Then the economy took a nose dive and I realized I could have saved about $1,000 on the whole package had I waited a little bit.

Awesome....going to AZ that week. I'm sure the El Nino effect will rear it's ugly head that week and it will be 60 in Phoenix.

Not only has Zambrano reportedly lost weight, but he claims he's going to be calmer (see link) http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/players/playerpage/223692/carlos-zambrano Actually, I hope this is true since I just traded for him last week in my fantasy league.

Yaayy!! Snow and arctic air. I can't get enough of it!
-
Actually, while just using time is ideal, I prefer a combination over just using judging.
-
Wow, I can't believe how close that field (shown in the video) is to an airport. It appears that home runs would end up on the tarmack!
