    When somebody brought up at a team meeting that the Crew was underpreforming in the retro unis, Bill Hall sensed it might be due to a curse. Bill Hall spent the next five minutes flying down to New Orleans to marry the VooDoo queen, get her to lift the curse, divorced her amicabily, won millions in alimony, invested his newfound wealth in textile futures, designed a new curseless exact replica of the retro unis, and distributed them to the team. That game he went 4-5, his only out being a long fly ball caught at the wall. Out of awe and respect the center fielder later recanted and filed with the botanical society to have his glove classified as ivy so that the catch would be ruled a home run.

    Ned Yost goes up to Bill Hall before each game, asks Bill if he'll be pencilled in as Manager for the game, then bows to Bill and thanks him profusely and goes back to his office. Back in the office he finds that the rest of team is huddled around a computer, using Photoshop to make it look like Bill Hall was the Best Man at all their weddings. Up in the owners office Mark A. is working out the details of a loan to give to Bill Hall so that Bill Hall can buy the team and hire Mark A. as his Personal Assistant.

    He could indeed pitch, AND donate a shoulder to Ben Sheets. There's nothing he can't do. I remember this one game I went to, the Crew was down 7-0 due to bad umping, lack of hitting, and plain old bleeding runs by the pitching staff. The Brewers payroll was woefully low, the stadium was completely lethargic and without energy, and my throat was dry from lack of beer and only $2 in my pocket to remedy the problem. Just then, Bill Hall takes over playing the organ, rouses the stadium to life with a rousing medley consisting of Beethoven's 9th, AC/DC's "You Shook me All Night Long", as well as selected tracks from "K-Tel's Baseball Stadium Favorites", "Favorte Irish Fight Songs", and "The Best of German Dance - Electronique". No sooner is he done with that than he is serving me a beer and making change for me from my $2, with enough money left for a tip for himself, and a whopping $25M leftover to raise the payroll for the team. He goes in to pitch, calls his own balls and strikes, and manages to actually erase four runs from the prior inning. Next inning in the lineup he hits a grand-slam, and the Crew wins 4-3. He is Babe Ruth, Mozart, Bugs Bunny, and Woody Woodpecker, all in one.

    Nice of Wes Helms to ultimately do the Crew a favor.

    Why wouldn't Rickie try to tag the runner two feet in front of him? You get the lead runner and have the slower Molina on base.

    Is that Jenkins's 4th K of the season? And Brady gets thrown out? I'd feel more optimistic about the season if last season's horrors could be avoided.

    Really? Was that a type-o? You said Ryan right? Anyway, that was a good one. I was jealous of that one. Edit: See, you are getting all sorts of after references with the "heart" references. Pithy and sticks in the memory. Casey, you get the email award for the day.
  8. BrewCrewRising
    I submitted the emails about Ryan not having to talk about grilled food, and the one about picking Ryan up in the Rule V draft.

    As always, thanks for the updates and obvservations (and debate) everybody. Nice to be able to turn to this when I can't tune in.

    Somebody made the comment that Ohka looked sharp today. Were all 4 of those runs earned? I haven't been listening, so I'm wondering how Ohka is sharp after giving up 4 runs in 5 innings. I'm not being sarcastic either. Really just wondering what Ohka did, because I can only see 4 runs and it looks pretty underwhelming.

    Bottom of 6th Hart just tripled to score Cirillo. Coskie follows with a double to score Hart. Score 4-4. ---------------------------------- Abernathy replaces Coskie as a baserunner at 2nd. D. Miller singles in Abernathy. 5-4 Crew. Zach Jackson sacrifice bunt to send Miller to 2nd. (a pitching, bunting animal) Brady Clark strikes out. Bill Hall sends Miller home on an error. Jenkins flies out. End of 6. 6-4 Crew Update: I had to change the netcast to the San Diego broadcasters because Bill and Darron were getting on my nerves. Padre announcers love the sausage race. I think they are jealous. Who wouldn't be?

    Top of the 4th, and Bush gives up his first run in 9 innings of spring training work. I hope this guy does better in the regular season http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And Zach Jackson works out of a jam by getting Mike Cameron to bounce out. Doesn't fall apart after loading the bases. Gritty. I'm liking the Overbay trade more and more.

    Sorry. I just have a case of the Friday afternoon sillies. We all knew what you meant, but I just couldn't resist.
  14. BrewCrewRising
    It's not just you. I haven't seen any time at 3B yet either. Probably best since I can't really play.
  15. BrewCrewRising
    No, no, no. Not meaningless at all. It's been a long hard winter, and when the Crew wins one of these meaningless games, I get to imagine them winning 100 games this season, and when they lose I have to go out and buy a "swear jar" and put money into it. I like to imagine the 100 win season, and I don't want a room full of swear jars. But really...point taken. But if Davis or Cappy has a bad outing you just think they're working something out. But with Danny you can't help but read into it. We're just all anxious to see if Danny is feeling Mike Maddux's Magic touch again.

    6-6 in the 8th. Kolb has given up 4 runs I think. I can only hope he really isn't trying. I hate to think he's going to pick up where he left off with Atlanta.
