    Kade Johnson and Lou Palmisano. I wanted Kevin Barker to make it......not because I thought he was any good, but I got his jersey in an auction and was juuuuust getting people sitting around us to "woof woof woof" when he was announced.

    Or Laynce Nix!(I envy the Reds)

    Shouldnt that be in blue?? I cant get past the "youre a %+*#*+" interview.

    My favorite part is his suggestion to trade Gamel for a "B-Grade reliever".

    It was so nice to be there........felt like spring training! I was most impressed by the kid Wells, RF Detroit. He quickly got to a J.Weeks hit that looked like a "for sure" double and threw a bullet to the 2nd baseman.

    True. And really, my long story above is irrelevant. My original point was......that a ballplayer appearing at a charity event, press there or not.. it is part of his job. Sorry, no "class act" points for showing up early, staying late or being nice to kids, babies or fans. Is Suppan a "class act" for giving the thousands that he "donates" to charity? Thats all part of his huge contract. That money comes from the brewers (and indirectly you and me). Funding Brewers sponsored charaties and making public appearances is part of the job.

    Bingo! I didnt want to start a whole fan experience offshoot, but yes, I happened to be in a public place where several brewers arrived after a game. My friend and I were there first, and not looking to meet, talk to players or get autographs etc. Mike Maddux sat next to us, intoduced himself ("Hi, Im Mike") talked to us like a normal person would, jokingly asked for some of my friend's fries and joked with us and asked Ben Sheets to say hi to us and pose for a few quick camera photos. Sheets was a class act. He wasnt doing charity work, or making a public appearance as a player. He was friendly and accomodating. I had a similar experience talking to him outside the gift shop at Maryvalle during a spring trainng game. He acted like a"regular person" chatted and moved on. (and no, i didnt ask for an autograph etc). Counsel on the other hand came up to the bar near us and ordered a beer. My friend said "nice game" he quickly said "thanks" and looked away. I said "Im not from whitefish bay, but I used to live there". He could have said "thats nice" or "ah" or " lots of people do" or something short, but he game me a "you have exceeded you alotment of my time" look and walked away. Totally his perogative, but seemed rude. Didnt seem "classy".

    I disagree. This is not an example of a "class act". Its an example of a pro ball player that has learned when to put on his "game face" in media and community relations.

    I guess i just disagree with statements like that. How many hits, runs, games did cameron really save? I do agree that he played great defense and saved some runs.....but more value than a pitcher earing 10mill?? He dropped it when it really counted. Game one of the playoffs last year. One spectacular catch, instead of getting to it and dropping it,,,,and its a different ballgame.

    I dont like that they are making you pay by nov 20th or face a higher price. I dont think they have done that previous years. I am renewing my loge infield 20 for sure, undecided about the extra 20 in club infield. Cant wait till january to decide without facing the increase. thats just not riiiiiiight.

    I briefly caught the guys on MLB network talking about how several players were against him.....to the point that they wore "Really?" T shirts under their jerseys as a commentary to his managerial moves. I just missed something that a player allegedly said, but one of the announcers said "if thats true about Cooper, he will never get another job". I was hoping to hear more about this.

    How many times will Braun be hit by a pitch in this series?
  13. ecjimg
    Ok, watch this guys feet. I think he balks (no one commented yesterday )
  14. ecjimg
    Any one else think the astros pitcher's "happy feet" is a balk?
  15. ecjimg
    That loud sound you just heard was thousands of TVs being switched off across wisconsin.
  16. ecjimg
    And why isnt McGehee playing more? If hes that injured, maybe the should go on the DL.
  17. ecjimg
    I found this on mlbrumors: "Meanwhile, a scout offered this about Brett Wallace: "He can hit but he throws like a girl. They acquired a DH - I think he might be Jack Cust Jr. with fewer Ks." Wow. Thats nasty.

    A few months ago, I refinanced to a 30yr @5.00. After closing, I returned home to find notice in the mail that my arm rate readjusted to 3.75%. I immediately canceled what I had just signed.

    Its going to suck seeing him in a different uniform someday.
  20. ecjimg
    thats not casey mcgehee pitchin to him. who is it?
  21. ecjimg
    What did the cf banner at county stadium say ?
  22. ecjimg
    why have a long relief guy in the pen if you leave your starter out there to give up 7? Its obviously not his day.
  23. ecjimg
    where is the coaching in this game? Or Jason Kendalls great game calling. Thats twice now that Burns has challenged hitters that he shouldnt have.
  24. ecjimg
    Isnt Gerut good for anything? Kendall running? How about Narveson? Hopefully he wouldnt have had Kendall out there if we were down by one!
  25. ecjimg
    just got back from the game. i was hoping you guys had a discussion about kendall pinch running. of course......it just doesnt matter now!
