  1. Sorry to hear about your car woa's Game. However, not sure it's fair to impune an entire brand of car because of trouble with one car you purchased from that company. Like most other car companies, some models and years of Hyundai's are more reliable than others. The wife and I just "retired" our 2004 Hyundais that we purchased new (she had a Sonata and I had a Santa Fe). I had 180K+ on my car and never had any major issues with it. The Sonata had less miles on it and a few more issues, but was still pretty reliable. These are not huge miles, but still, considering the purchase cost of Hyundais vs. Toyotas or Hondas, it was pretty good.
  2. Yeah, there was no way we could have afforded the entire post season last year (nor will I this year, if somehow they pull off a miracle). We attended all the NLDS games. Then we sold one of our NLCS games, which, iirc, pretty much covered the cost of the entire NLCS. The plan was also to sell one of the WS games if we had gotten that far.
  3. I don't think there is any possible way Cabrera does not win the MVP in the AL if he wins the triple crown. What would be the justification for that? Can't use the "non-playoff contender" argument and can't use any PED argument. I think Ted Williams was the only player to win the TC and not the MVP (since there has been an MVP) and that's only because the writers hated him. Cabrera winning the TC and not the MVP would be more of an injustice than the Packer's stolen win last weekend and rank right up there with Armando Galarraga being robbed of a perfect game.
  4. nine point eight and a third? Wow. How about 9.8333...would that work too? edit: Actually wouldn't nine point eight and a third be 9.8 + .333, which would actually be 10.133 K's per game.
  5. Yeah, when I purchased my tix I didn't read all the details or fine print. What's the basis for thinking it will take two months? Does it actually say that somewhere? I don't remember exactly how it worked last year with the World Series refund. Since I choose to pay for my season tix over the 4 (or 5?) month plan that they offer, I would never choose to apply the refund toward next season's tix. The Brewers would have to come up with a much better "early payment incentive" than they have been offering in order to entice me to pay early.
  6. When I said it happened Thursday or Friday, I meant that is when the agreement was reached between TWC and NFL. I'm not sure when TWC actually started broadcasting the NFL network. ----- Continued here: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=30546
  7. I have Time Warner Cable and I'm flipping channels tonight and I see NFLHD. Huh!?! It's the NFL network! It's the Ravens/Browns game! When did this happen? I had to look it up. Apparently it happened last Thursday or Friday. I had no idea!
  8. Gomez...great catch and then follows it up with a HR. Nice....real Nice.
  9. Wow. Braun 0 for 11 against Latos with 5 K's. Time to turn that around.
  10. [sarcasm]No...your right...just like people should not be judgmental of their neighbors who let there dogs sit in the yard and bark loudly for hours on end.[/sarcasm] Basically the same thing.
  11. The Brewers were actually 2.5 games back with 7 to play in 2008 (Brewers were 84-71, Mets were 86-68). However, they won the Wild Card by 1 game...so they did make up 3.5 games in the WC standing with 7 to go. The Cards don't have the melt-down bullpen that the Mets had in 2008, but they do have some tough games coming up.
  12. There is a team option for Aoki in 2014? If that's true, that's great! However, does not show that on this page: http://www.brewerfan.net/ViewTeamSalary.do?teamId=1
  13. I believe he has one more year with the Brewers at $1.25 million and then he's a FA. I would really love to see the Brewers extend him for another 2 or 3 year. I think he played CF a few times this year, but I like him better in RF. He is a starter (will have over 500 ABs when the season ends)?
  14. Yeah..there is a thread about this in the MLB forum
  15. It's extremely annoying to me and the people doing it just sound completely moronic. I really hope it's something that does not start spreading to other ball parks. If it ever comes to Miller Park, I may have to stop going to games.
  16. Taylor Green is taking up a spot Does this guy have any trade value? If not it might be time to cut bait. They could also release Livian Hernandez as an option. I'm pretty sure they can't trade anyone at this point....past the trade deadline..correct?
  17. So 10 game pack holders don't automatically get a chance at tix too? That's like the whole reason I bought some (seriously, like 4 out of the 11 games went unused because you couldn't give away tix in the middle of the summer). I always thought that 10 game ticket packs at least got one ticket for each series. Did you try selling your tix on stubhub? MLB makes it very easy to do this through your online ticket account. You may not have gotten your money back, but you would have at least gotten something. If you didn't want to do that, you also could have exchanged the tickets (for a game after the one you are trading). There is a $1 fee per ticket to do this.
  18. Ok..was unaware of any of that. Anyways, when I say hyphen or dash for my email, people know to use the key on the standard keyboard that is right of the number 0 on the top row (just above and slight offset to the right of "P"). Not sure if that's a hyphen or dash, but that is the one to use.
  19. Blanco, thanks for this advice. My car does not have quite the same process for deleting phones, but it's similar. Anyways, I tried this about a week ago and it seemed to work with my problem of my devices not just disappearing from my car. So, I was at least able to listen to music through my phone without have to set my phone up every time I got in the car. Also, finally got a solution to my "not being able people on the other end of phone calls" issue and I feel kind of stupid about it. I took my car into the dealer yesterday for it's first oil change and I also mentioned my blue tooth issue. The service person told me that they don't deal with that and that I would have to speak to a sales person about it (which kind of irked me). So I spoke with a sales person who told me that when I'm on the phone, I should adjust the volume using my steering wheel volume control. I was very skeptical that this would be the solution. I told him that people call me when I'm listening to the radio or listening to music on my phone, so it really should not be a volume issue. He told me to just try it and if that did not work to bring the car back in and they would make sure they figure out the issue one way or another. Sure enough, I tried it on the way home, and that was the issue. Apparently there is a separate volume "memory" for phone calls vs. the radio vs. music played through the phone even though it's all the same controls in the car. I did not know this.
  20. Hmmm.....explain the difference between a dash and a hyphen? My work email has a hyphen. When I need to read my email to someone, sometimes I say dash and sometimes I say hyphen (I probably say dash more often). People always know what I mean and I never had issues with receiving emails because of this. I never had someone say.."Oh, I used a dash instead of a hyphen". They are the same thing on the key board..aren't they? I will say that there have been a few occasions where I said "dash" and for some reason the person thought I meant underscore.
  21. A) Where are your normal seats and B) When you say 2, 20 pack...how many tickets in each packet is that?
  22. Current radar shows that a line of showers/storms just passed through Pittsburgh and there is really nothing after that. Here is the current hourly forecast per weather.com 6pm - Rain chance: 35% 7pm - 15% 8pm - 10% 9pm - 10% 10pm - 20% I don't think they will have any problems starting the game on time and I don't think there will be any delays.
  23. I think there is some confusion here between tie-breakers and the wild card playoff. The tie-breaker would be if there were 2 or more teams tied for the 2nd wild card spot (or for a division lead - not really relevant this year). The winner of the tie-breaker would then play in the wild card playoff game (which the Brewers could not possibly host). I think the charge for the tickets are for the wild card playoff game (not any tie-breaker game), that's why it's confusing that they are charging for this.
  24. Also, seems like the Wild Card play off tickets are bit "far-fetched". The top Wild Card seed has home field advantage...correct? If there were just one wild card this year, I don't think the Brewers would be sending out playoff tickets. Edit: I posted this before I was Outlander's post. I take it the Wild Card strip is for the one game wild card "playoff". As I stated here, this seems unnecessary for Milwaukee fans, which is probably why you are asking what that is.
  25. Hawing, from what I could tell in my account the first item appears to be parking. Under "type" it states "Preferred parking strip". However, mine is for $250 (not $300)? Also, I now have extra reason to want the Brewers to make the playoffs. For the first time, we basically got the same seats we have for our season tix (just a few seats down the row). In 2008 we were 3 sections over. Last year, we were 2 sections over. I'm very happy about this!
