    That post had too many accurately spelled words! Way to go Nick!

    wow, that is completely unbelievable. crazy to think whats going to be out there even two years from now. can you remember a world without iPods? "If you'd like to access an old fashioned keypad..." ha.

    I realize the necesity to blame vaporating leads on someone, but I hope that for all the blame Yost gets due to the benefit of hindsight, he gets just as much credit when things are going good. (Personally I don't think he should get too much of either, but to each his own i suppose)

    First of all, wow. How unprofessional of the coach. And "I guess we had to"??? What a cop out from the parents. She's 16! 16 year olds don't talk to their parents anyway. My sister is 16! I don't really know what I'd do if I found out she was texting the cross country coach at 2 in the morning.... If that were my kid I would hope I would have the cahones to say, 'no freaking way. go to the mall and you can do whatever you want when you're 18.' I hate to judge, but isn't that what we're supposed to do? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif My initial instinct was that this is some type of shotgun wedding.

    haha very nice woogie, and hopefully you don't have to make a "Brewers somehow just got pwned by JDLR" graphic

    haha... "Huh? What do you mean they blew up the death star? Who's they?? What the hell is an aluminum falcon?! ...Ohh oh oh, I'm sorry I thought my dark lord of the sith could protect a small thermal exhaust board thats only two meters wide!! That thing wasn't even paid off yet!! Do you have any idea what this is going to do to my credit?!" - Senator Palpatine

    so, between Yo, YoGa, YoGurt, YoGi, ... this is the most nicknamed brewer in my recent memory (and he hasn't even appeared in the majors yet!)

    Alright, I'll predict: 8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K Weeks: 2 for 4 with a dinger
  11. IslandsAC
    All I want to see out of this game is a YoGurt strike out of Bonds and a Brewers win. I'm easy like that.
  12. IslandsAC
    Ha thats exactly what I was thinking. You can't pretend that the Twins being up by 2 in the top of the ninth at home is the same situation as the Brewers being tied in the bottom of the ninth on the road. Spurling pitched an immaculate 8th. Yost is by no means perfect (not by a longshot), but I don't understand why every loss has to fall squarely on his shoulders. Morneau is very good. In fact he's one of the Most Valuable Players in the league. Brewers lose => off with Yost's head! Brewers win => Prince for MVP! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Wow I know this is just one game, but I am PUMPED. I'm definitely very much not in the "Capuano hurt is good" crowd, but I was so excited to see Villanueva start... and now this! I love games where I'm just as excited/interested to see the pitching as the offense, because I'll admit I usually get my kicks from the guys at the plate.
  14. IslandsAC
    I'll echo the 11-8 sentiment. As long as the offense keeps clicking, the pitching will sustain this team (even though at times it sure doesn't seem that way). I want to see Rickie return with reckless abandon. I want to see Billy stay hot. I want to see a few appearances by Yo. I'm excited for that. On a side note, I really enjoyed following Rluz's road trip probabilities. Since baseball is such a long season, it's somewhat silly to focus on one game or even one series, but I think once you start looking at the 10 game road trips or home stands, there begins to be some value in viewing that microcosm of the season as a whole. Is this something we can continue to do for future road trips or home stands? Is it as simple as plugging it into a formula or is there a lot more work involved? EDIT: As an idea, could there be a current road trip/home stand thread in the In-Game thread forum, complete with aforementioned probabilities and predictions?

    Jenkins has had quite a few quotes I've enjoyed this year, but this is one of my favorites. Over the course of the season, there's probably a difference between if Estrada hits 5th every game or 7th, but to me it's always been blown out of proportion, myself included. I'm just excited about this lineup as a whole, in whatever order they end up.
  16. IslandsAC
    Very very well said Doug. I sometimes catch myself trying to find the person to fault after a loss, but this is a very good offensive team in the Twins and the Brewers made it a very very exciting game. I think I enjoyed this loss more than some of the Brewers' wins (maybe a bit of a stretch... but it was a great game, well fought on both sides)
  17. IslandsAC
    Wow what a great game. It made my drive back to Madison from La Crosse so enjoyable. I was actually yelling outloud repeatedly alone in my car after Fielder's inside the parker. Uecker and Powell had me in stitches too - Uecker was loving this game like a little kid: Mr. Baseball. The Crew really hadn't had a big comeback game this year, and there isn't really a better feeling than listening to/watching one (except maybe a comeback win I suppose...) but man that was a ridiculous game. to quote Ueck (or rather, to paraphrase him) a few times: "A five spot and they'd start fresh..." "And the brewers are right back in this baby, folks" "Well, win, lose, or draw, this has been a heck of a game." And my favorite exchange: Ueck: I tell ya, when the Brewers hit their next inside the park homerun and they look back to see who hit the last one, and they see Fielder's name... (laughter) Ueck: Of course it'll probably be you and you'll remember it. JP: And you'll be right here with me.

    Great game, I'm just mostly upset that Suppan didn't receive a decision for the first time this season.

    Ive had issues with Charter too. Overall it's been good, but it's definitely hit or miss when you call them. I can't STAND the constant ads and mailings and even phone calls about switching to charter digital phone service. I see absolutely no reason anyone should pay for a landline anymore. Charter's desperation is an ugly beast. Here's the thing thats bugged me. Cable companies own the cable running through the cities that their service is in. For Time Warner or anyone else for that matter to come into a Charter city (or vice versa) and provide some decent American competition, they'd need to throw down the big bucks and lay down their own cable - not gonna happen. So effectively you've got big cable companies with monopolies over their respective regions and cities. Charter just has to be not-awful enough to make people go through the hassle (and conquer some of their possibly unfounded fears about) switching to another television medium like DirectTV, etc. Lame.

    I think we're going to see some massive overswinging and frantic overcompensation tonight. Back to back no-no's?
  21. IslandsAC
    Nice work, now the fun begins. I really really really recommend taking some time to travel abroad in the next few years whether through school or on your own. Now's the time.
  22. IslandsAC
    Yeah I finished it up quick this weekend and really enjoyed it. I want to say more but if anyone's still planning on reading it... I know I wouldn't have wanted to hear about the Soprano's before I was able to see it!
  23. IslandsAC
    If there's one thing that I've learned is ALWAYS true about baseball, its that once you think you've figured out exactly what team is going to win which game, thats when they lose, and vice versa. I've been waiting for a match up that the Brewers are 'supposed to lose on paper' for a while (if only because then if they do lose, there's a little more of an excuse http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif ) Brewers are going to take 2 of 3 and come very close to sweeping.
  24. IslandsAC
    Oh and I also got a huge kick out of Paulie and the cat.

    Well I finally got around to watching it, and I really enjoyed it. I thought it was really easy to empathize with Tony's apprehension for the entire ending. One moment he's enjoying an onion ring, the next moment he's eying up the random guy at the bar, the next minute he's joking with AJ, the next minute he's talking about the indictment. This is the uncertain state his life has always been in, and the same state it will continue to be in. My favorite part of the episode was knowing that Tony was looking back on his life and really wondering about the choices he'd made: when he sat there with Sil in the hospital,when he was talking to Meadow and she commented that 'if he hadn't been dragged away by the FBI she'd probably be in med school', when he was talking to his lawyer, when he saw how senile Junior had become,... I guess i'm easy, but I really love the under the surface tensions, however unresolved they remain, because that's what life is most of the time. My only disappointment was that I was deprived of one last shot of Meadow.
