Clancy....you are the man. I agree whole heartedly. As a man that holds grudges....screw the Mets!

Chris and I may just have to oblige our fans on that Shelley interview. We'll see what we can accomplish.

Snappers win 5-4.....talk about rolling.

Is WGEZ 1400 on the internet? Can Jim sitting out in Mass. pick up 1400 am out of Beloit, WI? That's the point about this site...bringing together fans from all over the country and world to follow their favorite team the Brewers. If it weren't for this site I'd get very little coverage of Huntsville's great year or High Desert's struggles. That's the best part of audio....we can tune in and see how newly promoted Housman or newly signed Shelley does in their debut. Otherwise we'd MIGHT get a blurb from ba or somewhere else. Brian, let me thank you again for creating this great site. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Well he's an announcer...he probably called the game ala uecker/powell, lindskog, etc. You know....who's batting, the game situation for fans not lucky enough to be in attendance. Just a guess. He might have called him a jerk....I didn't listen. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

He's a reliver tho.... seems weird to spend your first round draft pick on a guy who will never start. Not really....we've spent many first round picks on players that never started....felder, antone, etc.....I'd love to have a lights out reliever than many other first round busts. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Question is, if he is too intimidating, we will start seeing a lot of intentional walks. Yeah...I'd hate to have a guy with a 1.000 on base percentage clancy. Oh the horror.

Lou Palmisano singled in both games to improve his team leading hit streak to 20 games. Sweet Lou is also leading the league in hitting at .430. Somebody needs to inform them that it is Captain Lou and not Sweet Lou

Captain Lou...I like it.

Is the bonus for Nic Carter correct? Unfortunately it's probably yes http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Friday (4th) is an afternoon game Patrick. Sarfate again??@???!@!??! Man we're like on the same wavelength or something.

Most people don't know it but "Keith" Ginter's real name is Matt. Matthew Joseph "Keith" Ginter. That is horrible....on their own homepage... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Next up.... Thomas Sexson.

I agree with igor...let them work in peace and we'll start the discussion once he signs. Also I think it's unfair to compare Weeks to Fielder. If I recall, Scott Moore taken at #8 behind Fielder signed the day after the draft...so the slot value was almost set from day 1. A proper comparison with Weeks could be BJ Upton. I hope Weeks signs soon....but I have no qualms with the Brewers/Weeks taking their time. I mean the dollar figures being discussed here are huge.

If both are stuck at first, then I'd rather see us start lobbying the commissioner's office to have the National League adopt the designated hitter rule. That'll be a cold day in......yeah. DH sucks...we've discussed it before and it ain't happening. Harold...did you read the Prince Fielder interview by Patrick? BF: The Brewers are preaching patience in promoting their prospects, so do you see yourself getting moved up to High Desert or Huntsville this year or do you expect to be here in Beloit all year? PF: Yeah, I'm going to be here all year. Hmmm....sounds like Prince knows where he's going to be....probably found out from somebody who makes decisions...hmmm. Brad and Prince will not both be in High Desert this year. End of story...no need to bring it up again.

Beloit Notes: Beloit robbed of win? A play at the plate...Jeff Eure coming around....slides....catcher catches ball standing up...swings arm around.....Misses....Eure called out... Horrible call. Bad calls all around as Blazin Chris will attest too. Prince is the man.....showing speed on the basepath/field, making the plays....even showing mad hops as he leaps to make an out at first. Super nice....don't be afraid to approach him after the game...heck ask him for a pic and he'll oblige. Nic Carter....I'm sorry man....Sanchez comparison? without Alex's bat http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif 50/50 is rigged as I've yet to win one Bibbs is very fast. And cute too I hear http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Nice crowd......note to Beloit....MORE BOBBLEHEADS!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Beloit could really use Young's offense. Fielder needs that protection as well. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

Kane County 4 Beloit 3 I had the errr pleasure of attending this road game this evening. Some notes and observations *Kane County is a great place to view a game. I believe there were 7400 in attendance, and the place was rocking. People dancing and cheering and having a grand old time. I wish Beloit could draw like this. *Pena did not have his best stuff.....walked quite a few, even walked one home in the 5/6 something like that. Couldn't throw a strike in innings one or two to save him. Still didn't get shelled. Hopefully the sign of a good pitcher??? *Offensive woes continued until late in the game. Pedro Esparragoza breaks up no hit bid in the middle of the game. *Prince had a double and scored the first Snapper run. Looking better and better at first base. I'm impressed on how quick he gets down the line after hitting the ball. *Weird moment for Kane County. Bases loaded...a player rips one to right center. One scores....coach waives player around...Moss grabs the ball....perfect bullet to Pedro. Player already retreating back to third. But another Cougar is on the bag already. Pedro runs down the line. By this time the player on third is running back to second....batter comes into second while the retreating player is coming back to second. Pedro fires....safe.....throw to first....got the batter. Should have had two but a nice play to get one. Moss with a cannon...if he could start to hit a bit I'd be VERY happy. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif *I caught a foul ball in the top of the 9th. I'm telling you Chris and Cory....best way to get a ball is that ricochet off of somebody....even if it's bounce 4 or 5. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif *If you go near that god forsaken town of Chicago bring a jacket. Final temp was 62.....wind chill of 20! or close to it. *Birdzerk mascot was performing and was very funny. Jeff Eure has some mad dancing skills. He "acted" with the Birdzerk in inning 1 and ended up dancing to stay alive after fake fighting with it. The Bird stole his glove and threw it over the center field wall. Nice job Jeff. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif *Snappers tied game in top of ninth after Steve Moss got on first with a walk. Scored on a Travis Hinton double down right field line. *Cougars won it in bottom ninth....bases loaded, 2 out....some jerk (http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif ) hits a bloop to left center and Moss in center and Bibbs in left couldn't get to it. Game over. sigh *All in all a very enjoyable time. The benefits of higher attendance was very evident as the Cougars had a ton of promotions during the game...every inning was something and tons of crap was flying into the stands. Free programs as you walk in the door with giveaways inside. Seemed like every home game was some kind of promotional giveaway as well when viewing the schedule. Also they had lawn seats in left and right field...nice touch in my opinion. I'd go again for sure and it was easy to find as well. Michael

I was thinking that when I saw that Brian...but there wasn't any interaction as Tom was clocking pitch speeds and the parent was in another section. I would have thought the dad would be sitting with the boy. So I was leaning towards Sarfate (after looking at his BF.net profile pic) as he was interacting a little bit with the dad and girl (Manny Parra jacket).

Oh man...back from Beloit and what a night. I had to double check the boxscore this morning in case I missed it. That's right folks...NO EXTRA BASEHITS in 2 games. I have a theory that the Snappers offense was tied to the eclipse somehow ...bottom 11...man on 1st...2 out...Callix Crabbe at bat....Fielder on deck...looks at strike three as the eclipse is nearly full. I guess I'll go with Larry King style comments for the rest. -Housman and Parra looked great. Both have a heck of a curve...Parra working 90-92 all night. Housman painting the corners. -Beloit nearly won the first game. The HR by Luellwitz...top 7...2 out...line shot to left....Nic Carter makes a heck of a leap in left....just over his glove. Tie game. Next homer by Teilon an absolute blast. Wind blowing to left may have aided Luellwitz. -Tom Wilhelmsen becomes first player to go on DL from playing Air Drums. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I could see it happening...this guy is nuts in a good way. -Manny Parra nice guy of the night....gives his jacket to a lovely, lady on a chilly May night Mid to Low 40's. -Speaking of lovely ladies...oh to be 19, full of talent and surrounded by groupies. *sigh* -Nic Carter...how did he get drafted in round 4? Only things missing with his swing are a tee , a fairway and a green to aim for. I wonder why he's batting .130!! He actually fell down face first once after grounding out. -I think the 50/50 is rigged...has to be...no other way to explain me never winning it. :P -Fielder looked too anxious at the plate. Like he was trying to do it all himself. He'd hit a monster foul....then ground out to 2nd. There has to be someone to protect him in Beloit....right? right??? -Fielder made 4 VERY NICE plays at first. Two didn't count as they were choppers he was trying to keep fair. Eventually made a play that was fair for an easy out. Also made a great stab on a hot shot grounder down the line to save extra bases and an easy out. -Vandenberg sighting....John's dad and brother in attendance. -Another parent in attendance but I was unable to make out which one he was affiliated with...I thought I overheard something about Arizona....so that would narrow it down to Wilhelmsen, Hinton, and Sarfate. -Bad night for South Bend SS Gil....CS once, 2 errors in game one..bad throw to first...bobbled chance...misplayed a bloop to short (he went to second thinking the pitcher had it). -South Bend had more errors (3) than hits (2) before Luellwitz's shot in the 7th. -Breslow really brought it...deserved better as well....double in the 11th cost him. -Attendance is piss poor folks...get out to Beloit...it's a heck of a good time even when cold. Even though we lost 2 I had a great time. Saw some great pitching. I thought Housman and Doyle (SB) looked very similar and taking away that homerun and they would have been. See you all at fanfest. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Michael

Where are the first-hand Snapper reports from the local Brewerfan faithful?!? Well MassBrew...you convinced me to go. I'll have a report tomorrow morning captain. Here's to a double dip victory. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I pulled an Al once, I had to ice it and stay off of it for a whole week! I had to reread that one....pulled AN al...not pulled you know....thought you were going Mike Nicolas on us. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/eek.gif

Well I'm going to go out on a limb here, pulling an Al, and working from memory alone. I believe Nate Teut pitched for the Marlins against Milwaukee. I also believe it was the day of Fanfest last year. Just a funny coincidence seeing as how he only pitched in 2 games.
