Just seeing what people are making for the game tonight. The Pick N Save near my house had 99 cent 8oz blocks of cheese. I bought like 10 a green pepper, an onion, and some jalepenos and am gonna make a beer cheese dip with my new crock pot. Usually I just make chilli, but there's probably gonna be a bunch of people and I wanted to make something everyone can try before it runs out. In the rush of it all though, I forgot to get chips. I figure they'll be enough of those to go around though.

how much does a urinal go for? i'm assuming your building the best basement bar in town based on the urinal alone. good luck.

he's some guy that gets stuff signed just to sell it on ebay. he acts like some hot shot, when most people can't stand him. he also got a bunch of ben sheets 8x10s signed in the lot once by Brian Shouse since they have very similar signatures. all in all, he's a real class act. i'm sure BHF has other stories he can share as well.

...and if it's considered a weapon, why do they have an entire "factory" dedicated to them next to Fridays?

I might have Durham. It's not signed though. I got his auto at the block party, but can't remember if I grabbed a picture or not. I didn't even know Rogers was signing, about what time was that at? I got Cody Scarpetta as I was leaving. I thought it was funny that his player card was just a picture of Miller Park. He was super nice though. He asked me where he could find a Brewers winter hat like mine. I also got all the coaches (except Randolph) if your interested in that at all. Let me know. I have some older ones too, not too big on the 5x8's.

My friend got his bat personalized, and took off the marker with a white eraser. Just a heads up for anyone who got a bat signed.

that's impressive. I have no idea how people go about getting bats, other than buying em from the fan zone or something, and the prices there are obviously way higher than they should be. (counsell 250). I'd like to learn someones secret though.

I kinda like Princes sig, I saw an early minor league card with his old signature yesterday. It was just "P___" that's just terrible.

how'd you get it? just curious.

The thing about getting cards signed, and I don't collect cards anymore so I don't get them signed, and don't know how to display em, is that they don't sell for anything. Who would take the time to sell Mitch Stetter cards on eBay? G-Rob probably doesn't make anything off those, if anything he loses money on putting the auctions on eBay. G-Rob is a total joke, and I hope he checks this page to see that as well. I personally think it's hilarious that he gets 10 Stetter cards, or Dillard cards, or McClung cards to help him pay child support. Of those he probably brings in a total of 6 bucks, and spends 3 on cards, that's a joke. I enjoy getting autographs, I spent all last summer running around with this silly bat. Thankfully all I need still is Kendall. I've been getting bobbleheads signed lately since I already got em, and have a lot of the players on balls. I just figured if I'm standing around with a bat, and have everyone but one guy, I might as well get bobbleheads signed. I'm just rambling as my girlfriend is showing me all the new clothes she went and bought today while I was at the On Deck. Sorry, now I'm getting yelled at. Anyway, autographs are fun to get and a fun hobby, but I try not to be obsessive about it. (edit: language --1992)

yup, for the most part that's what they were. Turnbow was probably the biggest name there. I didn't go straight over there, so there could have been a few bigger names. I went to the Braun line, got my voucher, then ran over there. In that short time all the 07 team balls were gone and most of the single player balls too. Gagne was the biggest name I remember from the single signed baseballs.

So what did everyone think? I thought it was way more organized than anything at Miller Park. Having one entrance made things run a lot smoother from the get go. It was also nice to be in a heated building as opposed to a freezing Miller Park. Braun personalized everything, BUT I got my sig on the Helena Brewers bobble, and there wasn't much room to begin with, and after politely asking him if he had to, and showing him my Brewers tattoo to help confirm I'm not selling anything, he gave me a pass. Was able to get Svuem on my team bat, and asked him to put Wild Card 08 under it. As soon as that was said, Sedar goes "How fast is this gonna be on eBay?" He was somewhat joking, I think, but was still turned off by it. I managed to get Gallardo, Salome, and Gamel as well. Pretty crowded around 11-2 but it cooled down after the first tier players were done signing. The Rummage sale had most of the 82 bobbles and a few bigger ones for 2 or 3 bucks. Former player signed balls were in pretty slim supply. They had a buncha stuff, but not as much variety as I remember from years past. I managed to get a Braun Huntsville bobble for 30 at the Farm Club table, which is way cheaper than what eBay is getting for em. All and all I enjoyed this a lot more, even though we had to pay for autographs, it went to a good cause, and you get a free ticket to a game in mid april, so that's worth it. I'd definately take this set up over the Miller Park On Deck's. One last thing, for the Fielder bashers, as soon as he was done signing, he took off his jersey, signed it and handed it off to a girl, something he probably didn't have to do. Nice gesture, I'm thinking Braun did the same thing, as I saw him leaving his table minus his jersey.

I'm pretty sure they are referring to one per player. I'm just hoping you can get tickets for each guy at the same location. It'll be chaos if there's a ticket line for Braun, Fielder, Hoffman, etc. Then you might as well just plan on getting one guy.

Get them by 1/23 (Friday), as they probably won't be sold with the packs after that. I just got back from Miller Park, the Terrace Reserved seats are the only seats still available for Opening Day with a 9 pack, and after tomorrow (possibly Saturday, but not likely), you can only get Standing Room Only. This was according to my ticket rep, who told us we got down there just in time. I thought about posting this on the thread about ticket sales, but a seperate post might be more likely read. Last year I didn't get down there in time and had to camp out. If your going to pull the trigger, now's the time. Just thought I'd give some a heads up.

When my old band would go on tour, we had 5 staples: Ramones - Ramones Mania NWA - Straight Outta Compton Zero Boys - Vicious Circle Scared Of Chaka - Tired Of You Andrew WK - I Get Wet Then there was a lot of Jerky Boys, and comedy records thrown in there as well. My current band listened to Patton Oswalt's - Feeling Kinda Patton and Werewolves and Lollipops pretty much every day. We'd show up to other towns as strangers and be quoting each of his albums, on stage sometimes too. They probably were all pretty annoyed with us after just a few hours.

If anything, I hope it reduces some of the lines for other players.

Cool, were they giveaways, or from the fan zone? I may be able to make a trade with the guy, but kinda wanna know more of the orgin of how it was obtained. Awhile back I saw a fan zone bobble that was hidious with the Brewers logo scattered all over and the bobble was all blue and gold selling for like 80.

I was at this bar last night and they had a bobble of what looked like a lumberjack. I asked him about it, he said it was Robin Yount that they got it at the All Star game. It was hard to see it cuz of the lighting, but it looked enough like Yount, and was wearing a red ASG logo shirt Has anyone seen this, was it a giveaway or sold in the fan zone? How much does something like that go for? Thanks!

I got Braun on the sweetspot the first weekend he was called up, If I opt to get him, it'll be on the Helena Brewers bobble I got (you can find those for relatively cheap on ebay right now), besides Brewerfan.net, I think some other guy got the rest of em. He's always sellin em.

I was really hoping for Svuem and Kendall, those are the only two I really need left on my team bat from last year. But I'll pay 10 for Gallardo. I'm sure I can get Svuem fairly easy in the lot if I need to, or at auto fridays. I'll spend 25 on Hoffman, and maybe Braun. I wonder if he'll sign on the sweetspot since you gotta pay. I'll be interested to see the Gamel line. I plan on going, I wonder when you get up there if they will just let you buy a ticket for all the guys, or if they give you a limit, and if yer gonna have to show up at 7 to stand in line to buy a ticket. We'll see how this all shakes out. Wonder if auto fridays is still goin on this season, I love goin early, but at the rate it was at last year, I can take it or leave it. It became a melee for basically any guy that wasn't a coach.

MPS has called off school for Friday, as well as many other districts. Nice 5 day weekend away from teaching. Tomorrow I'll be heading over to Curry Parks golf dome and pretend its summer.

I got home from school just as they cancelled it. Works out pretty well for me because exams start next Tuesday, and I didn't want to start a new chapter, so I've got my students doing busy work and reviewing for a few days. This really helps my scheduling fall into place. Now I will go out and get myself a 6 pack of winter lager, a few movies, and enjoy sleeping in tomorrow.

I agree on a few of the Braves guys, but I'd rather that the Brewers players deserve to get in. Higuera? Maybe. Scott? I think so. Problem is, I think early guys like Scott get looked over, maybe the writers don't really know anything about him. I'm not sure, I never saw him play. Better to be a small list of names, then throwing in a few guys every year just to try to make it look bigger and better. Eventually it'd be like the bobblehead giveaways.
