    I also stopped at one on the way back from New Orleans and I must say that it was a good experience. The breakfast burrito was fabulous. However, I wonder if 20 stores is a bit excessive, considering Milwaukee is Culver's and Kopp's territory. Sonic is good, but I'd still rather have my frozen custard.

    While I was shoppin' for a new car, which one's me? A cool Convertible or an SUV? Too bad I didn't know my credit was whack, Cuz' now I'm drivin' off a lot in a used Subcompact. F-R-E-E that spells free, Credit report dot com baby. Saw their ads on my T.V. Thought about going, but was too lazy. Now instead of lookin' fly n rollin' phat, My legs are sticking to the vinyl and my posse's gettin' laughed at. F-R-E-E that spells free, Credit report dot com baby!

    Don't forget about Brant Brown!!!

    That's upsetting, but I suspect it's an isolated incident. Most of us are baseball crazy and would do just about anything for some good seats at Miller Park.

    I thought the HR derby would be bad at Tiger Stadium, but they crush them so far that the walls don't really matter. Only about 5 of Hamilton's shots were anywhere near the wall.

    Or...have Sheets shake hands with Lincecum and then pass it on to the 7 Cubs

    I can't find it in the news. I saw Brian Butch a few times on his moped without a helmet--I always wondered why they let athletes drive those things, especially when you see people trying to drive them through snowstorms. However, as a moped owner myself, you can't complain about the price, convenience and 80-100 MPG gas mileage.

    Nice job by Braun tonight. Hamilton is just insane, but I wonder why he is taking some swings here...
  9. owbc
    Braun = clutch performer
  10. owbc
    Nice performance by Berkman. Braun's going to need at least 6.

    I get home from work at 10:30. Will the first round be over by then?

    I decided to look into this to see if there is anything unexpected, but I only did it for March 31-April 31, which accounts for a total of 162 IP by opposing starters. I used the 2008 ERA for the pitchers, which averaged to be 4.23, while the Brewers offense managed only 3.83 R/9 in this period. This makes sense, since the Brewers had trouble scoring runs in April and offense usually picks up in the summer. Anyway, breaking it down farther: For Mar/Apr: Opposing starters with an ERA under 3.5: 57 2/3 IP, 22 ER, 3.43 ERA Opposing starters with an ERA between 3.5 and 4.5: 36 2/3 IP, 21 ER, 5.15 ERA Opposing starters with an ERA over 4.5: 67 2/3 IP, 26 ER, 3.46 ERA Thus, at least for this relatively small sample, the Brewers performed poorly against "bad" and "good" pitchers and great against "average" pitchers. I wish I had the time to extend it to the rest of the season/last season.

    Only the Cubs will be safe with <5 games left in the season. Brewers (90) vs. Phillies (89) Cubs (96) vs. Diamondbacks (85) Mets finish with 89 wins, lose to Philles in playoff Cardinals win 86 Dodgers win 84 Marlins finish under .500 Reds finish over .500 Atlanta Braves get hot and take 4/6 from the Phillies and Mets in September

    I think we've just gotten used to having a rotation full of young and/or inconsistent arms that aren't capable of throwing past 100-110 pitches. Sheets and Sabathia are established starters. They have worked their way up from the days of being held at low pitch counts. I have no problem with either of them going 110-120 every start. Pitch counts are such an arbitrary number anyway. If a guy labors through a 25-30 pitch inning but only throws 100 pitches, that could potentially be worse on the arm than throwing a consistent 120 pitches without a big inning. I do think 120 should be the max though and should not be breached 2 starts in a row if possible--until September.

    They won because of CC--but that doesn't mean they wouldn't have won without him. Still, having CC go out there after two consecutive losses makes a gigantic difference. It's only 1/162, but you don't want to go into the ASB on a 3 game losing streak. Instead, we're only 5 back of the Cubs and we have CC pitching again on Friday and Sheets on Saturday.

    He doesn't seem to have the greatest swing in the world. That HR was pure muscle. Still, I was kind of hoping they would let him bat in the 9th, even though I know it would be a terrible idea.

    Real time, I thought Hart was out. The replay looked like a tie. Volquez is no joke--I don't see how we will score unless he loses his control.
  18. owbc
    I agree with the concerns about the Mets. It only took them a week to get 3 games behind us, and they are very, very talented.
  19. owbc
    Geoff is probably going to be like Jeff Cirillo. If he ever comes back to Milwaukee, he'll play fine.
  20. owbc
    I'm really excited that Bush is finally pitching up to his potential. The road wins will come eventually. Maybe some of our other underachieving talents (Rickie Weeks?!?!) can start to step up as well.
  21. owbc
    Does anyone know our record when Rivera starts this year? I can't remember us losing one of these "give up" games.
  22. owbc
    Yay, more runs. Keep the Merry-go-round going!
  23. owbc
    Yay Braun. In play, run(s). I don't know what you did, but good job.

    According to MLB.com, votes are coming in at 1 million per hour. Keep voting!!!!!

    This could also be applied to bowling...haha.
