  1. Right before the game, they play the defensive highlight package (with a lot of US Cellular adds). I have a bet going with the SO right now, so we need to find out what music it is. She bet that it is Orff's Camina Burana, but I am sure that it is not. Any ideas?
  2. They don't appear to be there anymore. I get a message that says "Sorry, this account has exceeded its data transfer limit." Any help?
  3. I let my Mom and Dad sit in my normal seats. I bought TR as extra seats for me and my SO.
  4. I was up in 415 instead of my normal seats so it was hard for me to judge the crowd's actions, but it seemed like there were less drunks than a normal opening day. From the Terrace Box, it looked like Weeks was out and the ump had made a bad call. I have a great story from the day. I walked up to MP at 12:58, two minutes before they openned the gates. Naturally, there was a line there waiting to get in. All seemed to be Brewer fans, but two Cubs fans came from a different direction to get in line right in front of us. After about 30 seconds, they turn around and say, "This is the line to get in if you want to buy tickets, right?" Well they were heckled something fierce for not knowing the difference between a ticket booth and a door, and for thinking you can just walk up to a park on Openning Day and buy a ticket. Someone yelled that they can buy a ticket if they stroll about 90 miles south down to Wrigley.
  5. As a non-basketball fan, why were Celtic fans chanting "MVP" for a Laker? I know enough to know those aren't friendly teams.
  6. The first hit should have been an out if Hall hadn't been so far off the line. The second hit occurred because of a perfect hit and run. The first HBP was only because the shirt was too big. The pitcher did a perfect fake bunt/slash play. The ump made some tight calls of the strike zone. And all of this occurred on the first day of the year when the pitchers aren't stretched out and the weather was bad. I'm not going to put too much stock into it.
  7. Tiny Tim out of the game, and we tie it up in just the 4th. Things are suddenly looking brighter. Way to go Rickie. I hope you keep this up all year.
  8. Little known fact: Robin19 sports a #14 jersey to the ballpark sometimes. I've got Dave Nelson's (Brewers #14) autograph on it. Someday I hope to add Gross, Branyan, and Felipe Alou (Brewers #14). I might add McGehee to that list.
  9. I'm predicting 9-13.
  10. MLB Network is also reporting on their ticker that Sheffield has signed with the Mets. And Mets.com is reporting the same. We'll get a chance to boo him when the Mets com to town.
  11. I also would have blown a gasket. They sell the prepaid parking passes saying you're promised a spot if you have one. I have a general pass, so I am not worried about being turned away. I might get a really bad lot (there are some that are further away then parking for free on the street and take longer to get out from) if I arive late, but they will park me.
  12. I think it has more to do with what we have at the majors. When Fielder went to AAA, we had Overbay blocking his progress up to the show. Fielder had to wait until O was traded. Otherwise he probably would have come up sooner. As of right now, we don't have a CF for the MLB team in 2010. That probably has a large influence over whether Cain is up by then. The fact that we have Hardy is probably what will keep Escobar in AAA. Hardy skipped up quickly because the alternative was another year of Counsell. And Hall's production will influence how quickly Gamel makes it up.
  13. I made AAA in my first season. In August of my second season I'm still getting told that I'm not good enough to be brought up yet. My fear is how bad the Brewers in the bigs are doing. In May of the first year they traded YoGa for a AAA RP. The AAA team is looking to repeat (we're up by 11 games), but the big league club is something like 4th. Maybe they shouldn't keep a .300 hitting catcher (me), Salome (who's decided to move to OF), and Gamel in the minors through 2010.
  14. I think it's more like putting up a B+ test on the door when you've carried a 1.02 GPA for the last 27 years.
  15. Yeah, TWC runs commercials saying their HD channels are free, but they charge $8 more a month to lease the HD box to actually watch the channels.
  16. I didn't see this posted elsewhere. The Brewers could have gotten back uber catching prospect Lou Palsmo, but Doug Melvin declined to get the Rule 5 pick back. It would have only cost $25K plus his salary to reclaim him. Geez Doug, get with it. WWSBD? (What Would Sal Bando Do?)
  17. I had a feeling it was Cain, given his lanky look. Thanks for the help.

  19. I'm having trouble telling who the last two players are. (Attempting a bunt and standing on second). Thank you for sharing these photots.

  21. I started as a C. IIRC, C's start with extra power. I would think SS would start with one of the lowest power ratings. I never move the left stick once the pitch is released. I set it to the lower half of the strikezone to compensate for the fact that I swing at pitches that are sometimes too low. Leave the left stick alone and only concentrate on the timing. I've only hit HRs because I got the swing perfect and the pitcher threw the ball into my bat zone.
  22. I hate when the baserunning gets turned around. A sharp line drive to right when I'm on first, and pressing forward makes me dive back to 1st. I'm then forced out at second. Being a big lumbering fool catcher is as much fun on the bases in the game as they are in real life. I played 3 games in RTTS this morning without guessing the pitch. I went 6-11 with a HR.
  23. I remember the outrage on this board when Pujols said Saenz was lucky. We thought this was a guy that would dominate the Cardinals in a couple of years. I never heard from him again.
  24. People were discussing the Villy thread and I had an evil genious thought. What if Macha is bluffing? Maybe he's trying to light a fire under Weeks, and he thinks the best way is to threaten his position on the team. It starts by publicly toying with the idea of someone else hitting leadoff. Maybe that will result in Weeks playing better at lead off. Or maybe he's pointing out to everyone that this isn't the Yost "don't worry, I'll stick with you no matter what" Brewers. If Villy could lose his 8th inning or Weeks could lose his lead off spot, all 40 men on the roster will feel the need to perform. At least I hope this is the case, and not that Kendall will lead off.
