Gonna get there around 11:30 if anyone wants to warm up.

Sure, bring him along. Field fee is covered, so never mind (woot)

One possibility -- since it's a doubleheader we could do one game with Mike at 1B and one with someone else there (whoever will cover it in Game 1, ideally)... I would like to kindly ask for a small $1 donation from everyone to help defray the field reservation cost http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'd feel pretty comfortable anywhere in the outfield, as well as 1B or 2B. Been playing LF on the other squad and feel pretty good there. 4 putouts last night alone, woot.

Freaky.. 17 hits and only 4 RBI/6 runs. That's just a little weird.

Lafollette Field #2 (the eastern of the north fields) is reserved! http://maps.google.com/ma...005655,0.009645&t=h&z=17 Saturday, May 15, from noon to 2pm. GAME ON!

It's looking pretty good.. about the same number of guys. Houle, I'd say you should probably extend the invite to your other gang.

Let's go with noon on the 15th. I'm going to try to reserve a field at Lafollette, which is on 92nd between Greenfield and Schlinger. Pretty centrally located, not far from Dyer.

Can we get any more people? I'd like to start getting a time/location finalized if we have enough. Looking for availability from Iron Chef/Radman/Happy/Juddy or any alternates. Weather is looking decent at the moment -- 59, sunny, 20% chance of rain.

I'll definitely pitch in with scoring. I can probably help post stats and stuff too, if ya need.

I, for one, am cool with either time.

72 now.. even better. Shall I throw out the invite to my work team again? We got manhandled on Monday... maybe there'll actually be some more takers.

Good luck, Viggo!

Probably in Saturday. Edit.. weather's looking good Sat, too. 66, only 10% chance of rain.

Brent could just skip the fee and buy everyone $1.70 worth of candy or beer or something.

I'm down for the weekend...

I'm in again for Saturday if weather is good and all. Currently weather.com shows 70% chance of rain, though...

Thanks everybody. I wound up getting the Radio Shack antenna that casey linked to -- works pretty well. I might end up getting something a little more hardcore to hook up in the attic, but for now my wife gets all her broadcast stations, and they look great. (No more video recompression from TW!) Regarding the other cable channels we were getting -- it looks like TBS is definitely coming in with the cable modem signal, but the rest were only working with the CableCards & tuning adapter. Interesting -- maybe there's a way to take advantage of that http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Last week my wife and I took the plunge and cut cable TV. We still have a cable modem, so there's still a live signal coming in. Here's where it gets weird, though -- (for reference, this is Time Warner in the Milwaukee area) On all TVs, we still get TBS (channel 2) On one TV that still has a cablecard/digital switching tuner set up (haven't turned it in yet), we get cable channels up to like 35, plus a few others -- even some digital and HD channels (!?) Without any intentional TV antennas set up (new house.. I looked and there's nothing in the attic that I can see) we do get 12-1, 18-1, 24-1, 58-1, and a few others. No 4-1 or 6-1 though. Ultimately we just want to get all the HD channels OTA. We're well within the "yellow" zone for all the Milwaukee-area stuff -- zip 53172, South Milwaukee. 1. Does anyone know what the deal is with the cable channels we still get? My guess was that it's piggybacking on something that the cable modem still needs 2. Since we're fairly close to all the transmitters, should I opt for an antenna in the attic (or roof, ick) or would a set-top be fine? I'd like to only need one antenna.. maybe that narrows it down 3. It looks like the cable signal comes in from outside, goes to an amplifier box, which has two cables running out of it -- one to the basement (where I think it's plugged into a wall outlet box thing, picking up power) and the other to a massive splitter that seems to lead throughout the house. Would I be able to hook up an antenna there in the attic, attach it and the incoming cable signal to a splitter (using it as a signal merger rather than splitter), then run that to the amplifier's input? I'm totally flailing on this stuff since I don't really know anyone with any expertise. Any clues would be awesome http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Emailed 'em.

I'm likely in. Valpo & gang... I could see if some guys from my other team would want to come out and maybe play a scrimmage. No idea what the turnout would be but I can toss it out to them if you're interested.

DYER at 10am, Saturday, April 10. http://maps.google.com/ma....006968&t=h&z=18&iwloc=A So far Valpo, me, Houlie, Beeks are in. Might be worth bringing other warm bodies. I can send out an email to my work team...

Houlie says he's in if it's at Dyer or Hales. Cool with me.

I'm in. Maybe Sijan, whatever field is free? Edit: ~10am would be good...

Woohoo!! That does seem later... although the end date seems about right. I remember there was that little snafu last year and they let an extra team in, so the two extra games from last year might be what's throwing us off.
