    It took me until today, ~28-ish years, to realize the irony of "Bud" Selig being the founder/president/still-has-ties-to/etc of a team named for and strictly associated with Milwaukee beer. Maybe for an April Fool's joke there should have been an article about him changing his name to "Miller" Selig.

    This league is at the same time as Team #1 at Sijan, right? Just Friday instead of Thursday? This year I decided to only be in one league at a time, but if it's after the Sijan league I'd be interested.

    When I read the part in bold, I assumed you meant a price difference for buying in the stands as opposed to the concourse, but the article makes it sound like items *typically* sold in the stands are going up 25 cents regardless of where the purchase is made. The fact that beer is going up even higher in price is completely ridiculous and further compels me to over-drink in the parking lot so as not to pay 1 dime to SportService and the Brewers. Complete gouging. EDIT: It might just be the plastic bottles of beer that's going up in price, those might only be sold in the stands.

    I dropped my slice of pizza and uttered a "wha...?". Nicely done.

    If you write checks EVER, verifying your balance with your bank via web or phone cannot be relied upon as 100% accurate. If you never ever write checks, this argument doesn't apply, but just one outstanding $75.00 check that hasn't hit your bank yet 'cos the payee hasn't cashed it could be the difference between overdrafting and not overdrafting when you make your next purchase/withdrawal from checking. Also, as Jim mentioned, I like being able to flip open my checkbook to see my current balance rather than the hassle of going to my bank web site, going to my account page, typing my username, answering two secrity questions, submitting a password, and then reviewing the activity for anything that hasn't hit yet. I'm very computer literate, and use my bank site all the time, but don't want to jump through those hoops to know my balance every time. Hmm, totally disagree. If someone eschews their loose change in lieu of breaking that extra $1 every time, that just seems really lazy and inefficient to me. If I make 10 cash purchases in a week, I'd be left with 10 less bucks in my wallet and a bunch of change that was useless until my next trip to the bank. And I never go inside a bank, anyways. Just seems more prudent, thorough, and responsible to hand the cashier the necessary two dimes when your total is $4.17.... Fun thread.

    Please keep in mind not all of us who have check cards care to use them, and if some youngster gets all worked up because he has to wait an extra fifteen seconds...well sucks to be him.Nothing wrong with writing a check, it's no slower than using a debit card. But that's only if you stop at writing the check and don't proceed to slowly file the carbon copy; slowly record the date, description, and amount in the check register; and slowly calculate the new balance. I don't understand why people can't save that for when people aren't waiting behind them. If I used my debit card and then busted out my checkbook to record the transaction and figure out my new balance while everyone waited, I'd feel like a heel.

    Right on. It's very weak and embarassing, makes me cringe. When neighboring ballparks in Chicago and Minnesota claim many division championships, league championships, and world championships, our piddly little Wild Card banner just looks piddly, podunk, and small time. A single wild card accomplishment in 26 years -- that's like putting a D+ test on the refridgerator door. Just something else for people from bigger cities to point and laugh at. I would have much rather the organization take it in stride that we won the "last in" playoff spot, FINALLY making it back to the post season, and do nothing with it. Act like we've done it before. And then, a couple years from now if we're commemorating a division win or something bigger, put up something to recognize 2008 at that time. If/when 5-10 years pass and you look up in 2015 to see a lonely 82 AL pennant next to a lonely 2008 uno card sign, it'll just add to the embarassment.

    I would call Hardy slow, and definitely nothing better than average. On a scale of 1 to 10 he's probably a 4 or 5? Weeks probably a 7 or 8?
  15. valpocrewsader
    Wow, this is impressively out of line. The attitude is just wrong, naive, silly in so many ways. Victim mentality, sense of entitlement, the whole nine yards. I feel bad for the HR people on this board who might've happened upon this nonsense.
  16. valpocrewsader
    Is there somewhere to look up the stats on how many times a player lead off any inning? I'd like to take Weeks' figure in that category, subtract his games started, and compare that to the rest of our hitters. I think he'd still lead the team. The 4th inning is probably lead off by the #1 hitter more than any other spot in the lineup (maybe not, just guessing) and in the NL I have to think the pitcher is making lots of final outs in previous innings.

    Ugh. I didn't beam myself to Midtown with a particle transporter. My "slow and bad english" comment is as much to do with my experience in their airport and riding their Marta as it is my time spent interacting with locals in Midtown. And I've vetured outside Midtown on these trips, too. And I've been to other parts of Atalanta on other trips I didn't detail in my post. And one of my best friends lives in Atlanta. And I have family from the south. And the girl I'm seeing is from the south. Enough? Geez. And I doubt the accuracy of your 80% statistic anyways....

    Not impressed. He got WAY too excited about routine plays. It didn't help me to separate my image of him from the other millions of idiot Cubs fans who get home-run-ready-excited for every stupid fly ball. And he did not sound like Powell at all. Powell had a powerful-yet-intellectual tone to his voice, Provus timbre sounds weak and shrill in comparison. God, I hope it gets better.

    "...first we pay for fast-food that will make us all fat and tired. So then we pay for elevators, so we won't have to climb the three stairs up to our apartments. Then we buy freaking Stairmaster™ machines so we can burn away while watching someone make real food on TV."

    I go to a concert festival in midtown Atlanta every other year. We fly in, grab the Marta right at the airport, ride the same line all the way to midtown, arrive in midtown, party/atttend concert/stay in hotels for a couple days, depart via Marta, arrive at airport, fly out. Just Marta and our legs is all we need. A little crummy if you get caught in the rain, but that's life. That said, I don't know where Marta makes stops relative to the ballpark. Other than that, not sure what else to contribute. It's the south, so expect slow service and hillbilly English. Pretty friendly people, though.

    Main espn.com page has a feature story about some Kentucky high school basketball players. The middle thug in the giant picture associated with the article is sporting a Brewers hat. Represent. http://espn.go.com/ http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=3927967&sportCat=highschool

    I agree with PaulRigdon and Teatoe on this one, suck it up and carry on with the interview. But then again, I pretty much demand 100% dependability and think 2 sick days in 3 years is a lot....

    I'm considering taking a half day off to come by around 3:00. Sounds awesome. Are there any parking fees? I'm assuming not....
