    I THINK it means they are being held for you pending payment. Call your rep, they should give you peace of mind very quickly.

    I'll get Brian on board again and just say: Waffle House. Scattered smothered and covered, with over easy eggs, a coffee and some manner of meat. Ted's in Tosa is uber tasty as well. If you are cooking, I recommend El Rey Chorizo with scrabled eggs on a tortilla. I'll have that for dinner. Why is breakfast food so good? Fat=Taste.

    With 14 pitchers on the roster we got Melvined last night. This contiues to be borderline idiotic and could blow a few games over the next week. Also, our hitters need to start, y'know, HITTING. Braun can't lay off the low and away stuff, Weeks seems to come to the plate with an 0-2 count, and Fielder seems to be taking at least one at-bat a night off.

    The way Turnbow is being used he is niehter A) Staying sharp or B) Showing that he is worth anything. What possible master plan could be in store? We aren't using him, but we are going to get nothing in that ball bag if we don't use him for SOMETHING. Also, the 14 pitcher thing is horrible, and is squarely on Doug's shoulders. Every loss we suffer while carrying 14 pitchers I shall refer to as a "Melvin". Yost is crazy and needs regular manager pills (Ask you doctor if Managol is right for you) but I will eat my socks if he asked for 14 pitchers.

    Good thing I am taking the fam to the Zoo early, I should be home in time for the start. Go YoGa! A 6-3 swing would be nice, as would some bullpen down time. I think Bush will be piggybacking just in case and will probably be standing by as long man to spell teh pen a little. And I even like the lineup.
  6. TheBwaz
    I'll agree on that. Did the Yankees have to dig the thing up because of structural problems? In otherwords did they have to dig it up? If the answer is no, throw the damages right out the window. Las ti checked, bad juju does not damages make.

    Disclaimer: I got a B-minus in Torts and a B in Crim Law, so take this for what it is worth. On the Criminal charges, I doubt a prosecutor brings a case. Too much high profile hassle for a story that even New York is gonna forget in a week. That first element is hard to prove. Plus the sexiness is out of the case with the teams swapping jerseys for charity. On the civil end, the Steinbrenners have a crapload of money so they can be as screwy as they want to be. Any moron can bring a case, and there is probably juuust enough here for a lawyer to take it and not face sanctions. On the other hand, the guy is a construction worker, you are only gonna bleed him so far. Doesn't matter if he is a Red Sox fans, rich people hitting the working class where they live is a PR nightmare. Who has money? The construction company might be loaded, but good luck proving they had some kind of duty to hire only Yankee fans or only non-Sawks fans to build the stadium.

    I got Weaver to acknoledge by heckling in 04 when he was with the Dodgers. I called him a dirty hippy when he was standing on deck and he kept glaring at me (thank you cheap 5 county seats). I want to see what the numbers are before I pass judgment on this. As long as it is "not much" he is worth a look. I'll go along with this being some kind of Prince quid pro quo, but it ain't much of one. DM may score a few points with the Devil for putting his guy to work for a few weeks, but that won't carry the Stache far. Boras doesn't have much in the way of feelings, you have to be human to have those.

    I'm a scorekeeping nerd, so I will correct folks if they are wrong about something in the game (what a guy did last time up, number of walks, so on). I'll also follow the trend here and chip in if somebody is having a hard time with a stat. For example, when they started putting OPS on the ribbon boards, a lot of folks didn't know what it was. "Garsh, that is a big number, he must be good, its in the 700s." As for interjecting myself on the relative worth/value of players and coaches, I tend not to if that is my first interaction with somebody. If we had shot the breeze earlier in the game I my join in. Once I talk to people I get a pretty good sense of the sobriety/sanity and whether or not a discussion will be fun or just turn into "Ned Yost sucks!" "No he doesn't!"

    If Ned is supposed to know a guy doesn't "have it" after 3 pitches or one batter, how fast are we gonna kill the pen? Mota has a bad batter, bring in the next guy. If he doesn't have it, get another. A little ad infinitum, but not a great way to manage. We would be yanking starters in the 3rd everyday. Thank you, I don't want a Pinella jersey in my dugout. Yes, he does things that drive me nuts and if Ned is floundering in mid June, he should probably face the wrath. If that doesn't turn things around, the Stache may be under the gun; he built the team.

    Is a regulation game in Canada 10 innings? Gag(ne) seems intent on making sure games last that long.

    Speaking for those who showed up regularly during games in the 90s...before the interwebs and when cell phones weighed more than a laptop: We would tailgate like crazy on summer nights. We would listen (and grill and drink) till the 5th when you could get into the bleachers for a buck. We would then stagger in and smoke cigars, outdoors (remember, the 90s). We would also just kinda go wherever, because there were like 8 people at the game and they were usually inside by the 5th. We do need some more porta-johns in the lot. Going to a Brewer game and tailgating is treated the same as going to a bar, so a few more places to put recycled beer would be good. As a compromise, maybe some Brewerfan.net volunteers can bike the lot after the 3rd and throw out any errant grillers. That is, those of us not in the chatroom. On the other hand, if you want to get hammered and listen to the radio, you have a driveway for that.

    Wait, I thought there was no such thing as clutch. Was Bill James wrong? He's never wrong, right? Brenley sounds like a 3 pack a day guy.
  14. TheBwaz
    We wear the all grey road uni? I would like to see it. If we are Wisconsin's team, then call us the Wisconsin Brewers. Heck, good chunks of Wisconsin are Cubs or Twinkies fans. But Milwaukee on the front of the road unis.

    Not a Brewer, but I saw Keith Van Horn at Christmas Eve mass at St. Monicas in Whitefish Bay. He left his famliy inside before communion and went and played Playsation in his illegally parked Escalade. At least that was what he was doing when mass got out. It was hard to miss a big guy like that leaving. I met Ganter a few years back; he was driving an oldish but well maintained Chevy. Also, I was kinda pulling for Cappy to make a comeback with us, until I read he owned a Segway.

    Being a Purdue grad, I now must loathe Crean with the heat of a million suns. Not too hard, I really didn't really like him that much; kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Eh, Marquette is better off without him.
  17. TheBwaz
    "What can we do to fix this team for 2009?" Unless they have some hidden sarcasam rule I am not picking up on, that really busts my gut. We're fans, we want to blow up a team after each loss. That however, takes the cake.

    I'm venting that the vent thread only acquired 7-8 posts today. I was gonna figure 7-8 pages. As for son of Mark; if a look could ever convey a raging sense of entitlement, he had it.
  19. TheBwaz
    I think it was 2001 that we started with a one gamer against the Dodgers in LA. Can't say as I remember WHY. All I remember was that Sheffeild played for the Dodgers and my red haze of anger.

    http://www.intellicast.com/National/Radar/Current.aspx?location=USIL1114&enlarge=true&animate=true Latest radar. Look s like we may get a window to sneak some things in. Go baseball go!

    I knew I never should have posed for that picture. Kapler is one of those good clubhouse guys Doug and Ned like to have around. Maybe he is here to excorcise the Estrada mist in the clubhouse. If nothing else, he is like a second bench coach; he's been there, done that, and may serve as a calming veteran influence. Yes, I know, we have Counsell for that as well. With him though I get the feeling he would rather stab you in the eye with a fork than talk to you. Kapler seems a bit more loquatious.

    The dead squirrel blocking my street drain got 4 of us yesterday. The Bucks should be lucky to get half that. May their armpits be infested by the fleas of a thousand camels. EDIT: Appropriate number referenced in post TOTALLY accidental.
  23. TheBwaz
    I think the current Brewers are a little faster than the previous administration. The Bonds stuff, meh. Just the duplicitous execs dousing themselves in the "We had no idea what was going on" goo of the post-PED era. With apologies to the Simpsons, but did we want to know the truth or did we just want to watch them hit dingers?
  24. TheBwaz
    That is pretty much the same thing. You are allowed to take one "allowance" for yourself and each dependant. If you have 3 kids, you can take up to 4. Unless you like writing a check every April, I usally say go one less than what you can.

    There is no pot to be shot here. Sure, Wood made the All-Star team in 03, but threw only a 140 IP in 04, 66 in 05, 19 in 06 and 24 last year. In that time he has racked up 0 saves. Ever since breaking thru in 98 he has missed serious time (like all of 99). You might as well hang a 34 next to that drunken weirdo's set of glasses, because Wood is done. Thank St. Dusty of the Reds for that. If only Wood had turned 37 in 2004, he would have been set in Duty's eyes. Now THAT is a pot shot.
