Fatter than Joey

Fukudome also hit Sheets pretty good as well. If anything was distressing about Gagne was when he didn't cover 1b on Pie's "hit" and he looked pretty bad when his shirt came untucked.

Part of sports is voicing your frustration when things go wrong. Sure -- I have no problem with that -- and I certainly understand things that slip out, but I have a hard time believing that people are "frustrated" during the first pitch. Sure and then I use my words instead of booing and parents like you get upset when I use the words you don't want your kids to use. At the end of the day, I really don't care about what my kids hear at the ballpark -- I am more concerned about how they behave -- What comes out of your mouth is between you and your folks, my point is, is that we all got some helpful tips early on in our education on how to deal with your frustration that reach beyond the scope of cursing and yelling. So it's your choice, boos or swears. It's more of a public behavior thing. --

My optimistic geuss is that they're gonna play him for these 25 games to get his stock up I'm "ok" with Gwynn starting -- like Russ said, that's defendable. My beef is that once you have him in the lineup -- why 2nd? I know, I know. The season hasn't started yet.... The FNY season has begun.

So you're saying anyone who boos at a game if you don't like it, is being childish? I'm saying that we all learn at a very early age, that there are other ways to deal with our frustration than making loud noises. I just don't understand grown adults being so frustrated at a ball-game that they boo -- at least habitually. Perhaps I am being judgmental, --- but I think opening your trap makes you fair game for that.

yep -- I will pile on as well. I really do not see a good argument for batting Gwynn 2nd

I was speaking more to frustration in general -- my kids don't boo at games.

I honestly don't have a problem with booing GWB or booing of a player in general. It usually comes from frustration so what are you supposed to do just sit there quietly and let your frustration build? So people are getting frustrated at the ballpark now before the first pitch? I always tell my kids to "use their words" when they get frustrated.

I'm calling this, Tony Gwynn Jr will hit more than 1 homer. I assume one would be Homer Bailey, who would the other guy be?

unless he does a fake pick-off move -- then he is fair game

Maybe it was Geno and he was going BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

Yeah -- these dudes are for real.

Can you take a picture?

Whoo-Hoo!! Good job Glad to help!

nope. -- I remember in 1997ish when AZ won it all there were 3, but there never has been 4.

At the end of the season, maybe. But just two months ago everyone though the Rockies were foolish for the Tulo contract and now the Brewers seem headed down the same road. Exactly. If the Rockies were stupid, then the Brewers would be as well. Especially if you consider that Tulo is a top defender at one of the hardest defensive positions -- and Braun isnt. That said, I'd rather get into a ten year deal with Braun than Fielder.

I was very happy with since I wanted Gagne and Sheets anyway. Got Gagne on a ball and Sheets on a ball and glove logo mini helmet. Dude. It sincerely made my morning to hear that you got what you were looking for. Getting who you want at On-Deck is no easy task, Congrats!! I doubt most people under the age of 30 would get that reference. I doubt most people over the age of 65 would either -- I'm all about raising the bar for our youth, and ignoring the elderly. i didn't... Expand you horizons... watch 3 Amigos... (BTW that's quite a visiting score you hauled, good job!)

I have a draining feeling that when the Blue Jays and Phillies come to town, a little piece of my soul will die and we'll have to resurrect this thread. Yeah -- I agree. I think Jenks is going to handled poorly. Best booing ever = booing the throw to first base to keep a runner close. You are probably right -- the other time may be when the opposing manager goes out to hook a pitcher that is getting clubbed. I'm sorry, but some of you seem to be of the belief that everyone attending a baseball game should behave like the game is an upper crust social event, and politely clap for everything. I don't think anyone here thinks this.... Baseball is a blue collar, working class kind of game. You're there in a stadium with thousands of other people, drinking beer and eating brats and nachos. And Packer football isn't? -- It seems there is a lot more booing at MP than at Lambeau. Like it or not, most of the people attending the game don't know or care what OPS or WHIP are, and many only go to one or two games a year. They're "casual fans", and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't think generalizations like this serve us well. It's like when stat-heads claim to be more objective than other people just because they know how to navigate a spreadsheet. Objectivity and Sabreitude are 2 independent characteristics, just like public behavior/booing is. Overall we could probably agree that the BF.net "cares about OPS an WHIP" -- however we are clearly divided on booing -- so lets not hang this on the new or "casual" fans. I think that most of the bump in attendance is coming from people like my mother in law, who are now having their reunions and family gatherings at MP and couldn't distinguish Prince Fielder from Prince Charles -- they primarily are rediscovering MP as a fun place to be in the summer and pretty much want drink a few beers and laugh. I have no problem with Milwaukee getting the reputation of having rowdy fans. I've heard Milwaukee called the Midwest's Philadelphia, I can't think of a positive attribute of being called the "Midwest's Philly" I'd rather have opposing teams hate the thought of playing at Miller Park, than thinking "Yeah, their fans don't care about anything, and we're going to roll over their team anyway." In a large part this thread discusses the "passion" related in booing the Brewers because you are upset. If anything I think opposing teams will realize that if Turnbow walks a batter, the fans will turn on him. I don't think any players hate the thought of the Brewer fanbase booing their own, they probably find it funny. I'd rather be at Miller Park with 30,000 fans, some of whom are booing, than sitting in a sedate group of 10,000 or so that seem like they're ready for a nap. I'd rather the fans get behind their team.

Man -- I want to see a good game in the worst way -- so far this weekend has been a yawner

I love Cracklin oat bran, Honey bunches of outs, and brown sugar mini wheats

If you think your booing has an affect -- why would you boo your team and affect their chances of winning?

I dont think Yost is better than Dusty

In the NL central maybe.

I fixed mine, that did a similar thing -- I forget what the piece is called but it took me maybe 30 minutes to repair. EDIT: Its a drive coupler -- mine wore out. -- It was a cheap part and an easy fix.... http://www.partselect.com/assets/partimages/334626_1_M.jpg
