I know it's this weekend. Just curious what I can expect to see/find there. Autographs? Bobbleheads? Other memoribilia? What kinda prices do things go for? Thanks!

I don't see how he could get into the HOF and I'd be surprised if he got enough votes to be on the ballot next year. I'd be honored just to be on the ballot. The Brewers should do a bobblehead for him in the next few years though.

Like most pitchers, she's still developing a breaking ball, or possibly her change up.

They showed that kid who with help from his dad tackled a first base coach for the Royals a few years ago, didn't that happen at a Sox game? Also, I don't think they need to use "gay" in the lyrics. I like the Journey parody anti-cubs anthem more, just my two cents.

I had great help last year buying bobbles off people when I was filling my stuff for Christmas. I'll probably be doing that again this year as I missed a few retros and the sausage from this year. But BrewerJamie and Hawning have been great. I think BillyHallFan sent me a couple gameday programs, which is a minor thing, but still I needed them for my years collection (I need to figure out which ones from this year I'm missing too). Being in the middle of trying to move, and all my stuff boxed up at my Dad's house has limited my ability to trade, but hopefully when the house sells, I can get back at it.

Sabathia Gallardo Cameron or Kendall Sausage Jim Powell I'd say Teddy Higuera but that'd be too many pitchers. Greg Vaugn I could get behind. They named a valley after him. George Scott would also be great, but no casual fan knows him. I wouldn't care for a Suppan bobble, but since they're running outta players that's probably a good bet. Maybe they will just do a bobble for everyone on last years playoff team (including all September call ups and non playoff roster september guys), with alternate uniforms. Who doesn't want Mark DiFelice or Mike Lamb?

Good season. Based on how HBO shows, I'd give Entourage one or two more seasons before they call it quits.

$15 for a cd these days? I should expect that from people downloading everything (including myself), but I have been trying to just stick with buying vinyl for the past few years, for the reason above. That said, the protools on the album are on 11. How many times can they do layovers? Not my thing, I prefer for albums not to be so polished. If I was comparing it to how I like my steak (medium), I'd consider this way well done.

The free Dr Pepper deal is TODAY until midnight! www.drpepper.com on the bottom left there is a link under promotions for it. Good luck getting in though, all day the site has been under maintenance or unavailable service. Maybe they will do the promotion Tuesday as well, but just in case, I don't want anyone to miss out.

is that a school project or something? i dont think i get it either. silly.

I made my list without reading others first, which may be a good or bad thing cuz I'm sure I'll leave off something that's genius. I didn't wanna be influenced by anyone either. I dunno if there is much order to this either. 1. Seinfeld- Every year great 2. Simpsons - Please, go off the air before you completely ruin your legacy 3. Family Guy - Starting to fall, but that Bird Is The Word Episode was the funniest 12 minutes of television this year 4. South Park - As long as there are fads, politics, and children, this show will be hilarious 5. The Office - No other cast could pull that off so perfectly. 6. Curb Your Enthusiasm - Do I laugh, or cringe. Damn you Larry David!!! 7. Yes, Dear - Like the Odd Couple, with two families 8. Cosby Show - Bill Cosby, thank you. 9. Jack ash - Nothing better than watching a buncha drunk idiots do drunken idiot stuff. Timed the series perfectly and went out on top. 10. Arrested Development - Though I've only seen the first season and then a few random episodes Honorable Mentions: Night Court - I wish I could still see this in syndication Lucky Louie - Really coulda been longer than one season. Brilliant. Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Closest HM to make the top ten, but just missed out Wonder Showzen - Kids doing interviews that end up making adults looks stupid will always win in my book. Totally messed up, and totally hilarious. Do yourself a favor and check it out. NOW! After doing my list and went back and checked things out. Pretty similar. Props to whoever said Yes, Dear for sure. And yes, Night Court was a surprise to see so many times. I remember loving that show, but haven't seen it in forever. A box set availble yet? Some of the HBO shows that are more dramas than comedies (Sopranos, Entourage) definatley have their funny moments, but I see those more as a drama, maybe a dramady? (ie Sportsnight). Freaks and Geeks the same thing. Good lists though from pretty much everyone!

Is it just me, or is that glove WAYYYY too big for her? It looks like a softball outfield glove.

The thing I guess I'd be most worried about, is how long PS2 will be available, and what features you can lose by not having it on another system. By no means am I saying go out and get a Wii, X Box, or PS3, but even though I already had Guitar Hero for PS2, I asked for World Tour for the Wii in order to store made up songs, and download more songs and whatever else. I guess it's a tough call, I appreciate that PS2 isn't forcing you to buy a new system right of the bat, but with PS3 available now, you'd think PS2 would become obsolete in the next 6 months. It's very similar to when Nintendo introduced Super NES, imo. Also, I haven't gotten to play the drums for Guitar Hero, but being a drummer, I liked Guitar Hero's drum set up much better than Rock Bands. The pads are fairly small on Rock Band, and from left to right it goes something like Snare, Cymbal, Tom, Cymbal. Which isn't really how drums are set up. Guitar Hero installed the cymbals above the drums to give you a better sense of playing real drums. Again, I can't confirm the game play on the GH drums. Just what I read and saw.

You would probably love me then.

I heard one song and thought it was terrible. I can't put my finger on really what Axl and cronies are trying to accomplish. As mentioned, without Slash there may still be some great solos overall by Buckethead (assuming he's still in), but not the same way Slash did to give it that GnR sound. Axl makes me upset because there was rumors to be a Replacements tour, reunion, whatever, and he wouldn't let Tommy Stinson be a part of it because they needed to go on tour. Then it was cancelled like 10 days into the 30 day tour. For those diehards picking it up who have not heard anything yet, search around on google, you can listen to one or two of the songs online on various webpages. It may change your mind.

Jamie, wii is great. Wii sports is very easy for everyone to enjoy and do alright at. As far as educational games, there are some out there worth checking out. Possibly rent it first, but Big Brain Academy I've heard is great. Without playing it, I can't tell you the age range they're looking for. I know Brain Age for the DS was very easy for even 5 year olds to do with games on simple math, or word remembering. I'm guessing the two are very similar. Also, Wii fit is great if you can make time to do it enough. I try to use that once or twice a week, lots of easy exercises to keep in shape. I belive it was 80 or 90 when I got it. Worth it.

Any shows you think should go off the air? Frank TV: Stick to the radio, kid. His Madden voice is spot on, but doing a show based on one guy doing impersonations is god awful. Prison Break: How many times can you break out of prison, then return, then break out? 24: Every year Jack Bauer starts looking at the calender thinking "any day now, I'll be running around this city like crazy trying to find terrorists, better catch a nap now, cuz who knows when I can sleep next!" First season was great, didn't get into the second season after watching the first half, then lost interest altogether. Woulda been a much more epic one time shot.

both spayed and declawed (front claws)...i dunno, the obvious thing is to keep the door closed at all times, but she won't do that, cuz she likes it when the cat sleeps in her room...

My girlfriend has a cat that's 3-4 years old. It's trained, we clean the litter box regularly (every couple days). Yet every once in awhile, it goes into this assault mode where it'll urinate on stuff (mostly the bed), 2-3 times in a week. Then it stops for awhile, then it starts again. This normally only happens when she leaves her bedroom door open and we're watching tv in the other room. But sometimes it'll pee on the clean clothes basket while we're asleep, and it just becomes a huge waste of money and time (paying for the washer). She thinks it's because he's a stubborn, I think he's a jerk. We both agree that it's not any kind of disease, but neither of us know what to do. Does anyone have any tips? Scolding a cat is like spitting in the wind. But it's getting frustrating. Thanks for any help.

as temke said, you pretty much don't need to keep anything anymore. maybe tax stuff, but that's about it. Bank statements, payment statements, credit card statements, etc, are all online. I just wish that KFC and the local advertising newspaper and other assorted junk mail were available online so they'd stop wasting so much paper. that's for a different thread though.

Assuming the Brewers can't give him an offer he wants, then if I'm Sabbathia, I tell the Yankees I want 35-37 million a year. See how much they're willing to really blow him away, you can always lower your price.

Obviously you want to put your training to use. But, I can tell you I made a killing as a delivery driver last year through the winter. Especially at night on the East Side. I worked at Patty Burger which was a good place. Pizza Shuttle you can do well to. That might not be the route your looking for, but you can start almost immediately at delivery places and look for other stuff along the way. Good luck, working at a bike shop for a long time, I know how getting hours cut from full time to 10 hrs a week (or less) out of nowhere can really be stressful.

Hey all, I began teaching at Milwaukee Washington High this year. As a school of MPS, the staff is putting together a clothing drive of sorts for our students (and families), that may need new coats, shoes, clothes for the upcoming winter months. Same with any household supplies. If any of you live in the area (Sherman Blvd and Center Street) and are doing any cleaning, looking to get rid of anything that could go to good use, please let me know. I suppose there are two ways to go about it getting them to the school, the easiest would be to deliver it to the school. If you live close enough, I may be able to get it from you. The drive is looking to start next week, and any donations are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm gonna miss WKTI in the fact that really bad songs would be played so much they'd become my "jams" and my friends would laugh at me. How am I gonna keep up with my studnets taste in music anymore?

Where is there a chic filla in Wisconsin? Bella's had free burgers, but only at their Bay View location. I was told by many that the free Art Bar red/blue shots were like drinking kool aid. Not much alcohol at all. By the end they weren't making as many because it was so crowded it was impossible to get to the bar. Art Bar also ran out of pretty much everything they stocked on Tuesday having well over a capacity crowd right up until the end.
