  1. You would think so as well. With five sausages, you would also think they would go five deep vs. three deep with the awards. Appearantly, it's randomized which meat atops the hardware. If someone wins first every year, it's not always the #1 Brat, which is the case of my teammate.
  2. I won my age group at today's Sausage Race 5K. I'd always wanted to win one of these trophies. Now my running career is complete. http://my.execpc.com/~silkey/090725_11.JPG
  3. I received my MCSD through Techskills eight years ago. The tutoring was minimal, so it was mostly self-taught. But they gave me the tools I needed and I passed my four exams the first time. They'll probably make minimal effort to place you somewhere, however. Also, be leary if they try to get you to sign up for any loans.
  4. Well, this sucks. But it's not as if nobody didn't see this coming. For the last six or eight years those of us who follow the sport ask each other "is this it?". I attended about a half-dozen games a season. It got me downtown and spent money. With nothing else to follow, I'll just go to Madison and attend more Badger events. Albeit small, just one fewer reason to stick around Milwaukee.
  5. The run counts. This very thing happened in a Brewers-Yankees game back in the 90's. (The ump counted the run, but only told the managers. The scoreboard, sports broadcasters, et al that night had the wrong final score).
  6. Thanks for letting me hit last night. This summer I was going to make to a game as a spectator anyways, so this worked out. Nice to see everybody again.
  7. I watch little NHL, but my wife's favorite co-worker is a Pens fan so she became one. When she started getting into it, I got into it. I'll second the comment regarding the series with the Caps. That was a joy to watch. We had the games of the Finals circled on the calendar and made sure we'd be home to watch it. Took precedant over the Brewers. I had forgotten the franchise was almost bankrupt. Never mentioned it on the telecast. Then I saw Mario and it came back.
  8. I've been running competitively for 28 years and have done 13 marathons. That said, I don't want to be the one to pee on your Wheaties, but I can't recommend going from 0 to 26 in 19 weeks. Maybe concentrate on a more modest goal like a 10K or half-marathon to build up some experience. But if you're up for it, the Hal Higdon plan John Brew mentioned is what most newbies adhere to. Go in and have someone analyze your form so you can be fitted with the proper training shoes. Remember to respect the marathon, otherwise it will eat you up.
  9. The final minute brought back memories of Rick Dempsey.
  10. Sunday's edition of the Journal-Sentinel had a story regarding the 50th anniversary of Harvey Haddix's 12 perfect innings. That thought was in the back of my mind today. Hall hit the ball well, but from where I was sitting I thought the CF would make a play on it. He caught everything hit to him today. Breathed a sigh of relief more than joy when the ball landed on the track. I was at the game and noticed as well the team quickly disappearing into the dugout. I see I wasn't the only one.
  11. So, how'd the game turn out?
  12. But it's OK to go down Bernie's Slide after clinching a playoff berth in Milwaukee? WTMJ should have the video in its archives somewhere.
  13. I believe he was a second round pick for the Mets. He must have had potential. And Melvin was able to steal this second rounder for $50K. Like getting an additional draft pick.
  14. I envy you guys. After five years of engeering college, it was "enough of this, get me out of here!"
  15. The snorkeling there isn't the best. The people are so poor they eat all the fish.
  16. Was WTMJ possibly just referring to this (from the article in the JS)?: Police were investigating whether the vandalism may have been related to a protest earlier Friday evening by a group of self-titled "anarchists" in the Riverwest area, police spokeswoman Anne Schwartz said. WTMJ made no reference to Anne E. Schwartz, the MPD nor its kissing cousin The Journal-Sentinel. Just reported it as fact.
  17. Anyone watching this MTV show about eight UW-Madison students documenting their freshman year? Any opinions from any current students here? Spot on? Overly dramatic?
  18. I love how WTMJ described them as a bunch of "anarchists". Is this some political group we are not aware of? Another fine piece of investigative journalism by our local media?

  20. I remember Jenks saying that they pay 75$ a day for all of the stuff they get. If thats what your talking about. I know this isn't what this particular thread is about but I was always under the impression that the players were given a daily stipend to spend on food in addition to their salary. Not that they paid for the food they were getting in the clubhouse. How does that work? I believe it says somewhere in the fine print of the CBA that players called from the minors receive road stipends for 15(?) days, even for home games. I don't currently have access to that document, so I can't link it or verify it.
  21. She is the runner type. I saw her finish up the Lakefront Marathon last October in Boston Qualifying time. However, didn't see her name in the list of Boston entrants last week. And I'd say she's average height.
  22. Go out, meet more people and stop being such a hermit, you moron.
