    One of the science teachers at my high school believed there are aliens. He even taught a unit in class about it! Funny, interesting, and weird all at the same time. The guy was a little kooky to say the least, but he definitely bought into the conspiracy theories. I think he even saw a UFO or two, if I remember right.

    I always thought he'd land on his head somewhere....How do you say monstrous cranium in Japanese?

    Aaahhh!!!! Godzilla!!!

    To me there's pretty much about 3 teams he'd go to. Atlanta, Milwaukee or Houston. Possibly the Rangers. Other than Milwaukee, the others are close to Louisiana, and in warmer climates.

    Are you sure they weren't "eeeeeewwwwwww"ing at the state of the Metrodump?

    A lot of it, I think, is desperation. When you get to the point where you don't have money and the bills need to get paid, you're going to take whatever measures necessary. A lot of this whole thing with layaway, credit, whatever is that we've forgotten to live within our means. That's what happened to me. I got my Discover Card in college, and I regret that to this day. Why not get it now and not have to worry about paying for it....until you realize that at age 31 and you want to buy a house and have no money saved up for a down payment or not the greatest credit in the world, and what do you have to show for it? Not a whole lot. That's one of the things I am going to make sure my kids learn at a young age. Save, save, save! If you don't have they money, you can't buy it. Plain and simple.

    My wife and I were in Burlington Coat Factory looking at their baby stuff the other day, and they offer a layaway program, too. However, when you put the item on layaway, you have to pay 50% and then another 25% in 2 weeks and then pay the rest off when you pick it up. Interesting concept. My mom used to put things on layaway a bunch when I was a kid, but I'd rather save up my money and purchase whatever I'm going to get in cash. That or buy something used, if I need it that bad.

    I'm not going to do what I did earlier in the year, after I got out of the cold, snowy yuck that was Wisconsin in December and January. All I will say is you are in my prayers this winter, especially that you don't have as bad as what it was last winter.

    Darryl Hamilton. Is he a candidate too?
  10. craigharmann
    I hope they do a lot to bring out the history of the game. That's something that we don't usually get to hear about as much. Like reviewing classic games from the 40's, 50's and 60's and talking about those players. Would be interesting to me.

    4th and 5th???? I can't tell you how many stories I read in the 3 years I lived in Sheboygan, that there were folks that were on their 8th or 9th....and what did they get? A fine, jail time, minimal for both. That's the big problem there!
  12. craigharmann
    There's a problem in Wisconsin with alcohol?? Really??? Who knew??? The running joke in Sheboygan, where I moved away from in January, is there is a bar and a church on every corner. Granted, the problem is nationwide, however, in growing up in Mayville, a small town, I understand (but don't condone) how this behavior can happen. Small towns don't usually have a whole lot to do on weekends, so the high school/college aged crowd would drive "laps" and hang out. I'm fairly sure, even though I didn't participate, that there was alcohol involved. It's a very social thing in Wisconsin. Doesn't matter what's going on, let's have a beer. I'm not a prude by any stretch, but I will say it's about personal responsibility. I saw one of my sister's friends drunk back in high school (let's just say her pants were wet and it wasn't water), and it made me determine I would never let myself lose control in that way. I've never drank to the point of getting drunk, but I will drink here and there. It's about parents being responsible for their kids, and people taking responsibility for themselves, something that seems to be falling out of practice fast in our country.

    You've got to put in an offer to CC. He really seemed to like the team and like it in Milwaukee. Why not put it out there? It's on him to take a better (or different offer) but you can't say you didn't try. I'd love 6/150.
  14. craigharmann
    To some extent I agree, but I don't know if either candidate will make anyone more confident. A big part of it, to me, is people living within their means, not buying the 3000 inch Plasma TV with their credit card, when they're going to only afford to pay the minimum payment for the next 30 years. Save your money until you can pay for it. Plain and simple. Live within your means.

    I don't know. There's been a few guys that have moved around and seemed to be OK. Initial guys who come to mind are Pujols, Miguel Cabrera, Braun. They moved positions as fairly young players, and it didn't seem to hurt them. Didn't Jose Reyes move to 2nd initially when he came to the majors? He started off moving to accommodate the great Kaz Matsui. Granted, Matsui wasn't good, so Reyes moved back, but it's not unheard of to do. I just wonder whether it would be a benefit to the team to do it defensively. Thankfully, I'm not the GM.

    But wouldn't that be an asset, considering Prince's butchery at first? Escobar's range could make up for Prince's lack of range.
  17. craigharmann
    Why not put Rickie in center, put Escobar at 2nd, and you've got a couple of problems solved. Just my thought. Rickie couldn't be any worse than Bill Hall in center, could he?
  18. craigharmann
    He may love puppies and be a super nice guy, but thank God that experiment is over. Goodbye Derrick!

    So, do you think that Remington encourages using the thing while running around the bases? I'm assuming not, but since Ryan Braun did it, I would try. Also, for Ryan, probably a good idea to keep your day job. For Marisa Miller....wow. I think more women should play softball so they can try that move if they get caught in a pickle...."nuts!"
  20. craigharmann
    Yeah, but Judge Ito and the other dancing Itos were quite competent dancers!

    Guys, continue to keep that patient, small-ball playing approach you took last night. It really looked great. Bill Hall, thanks for returning to Milwaukee. You sure looked good. JJ, played excellent. Bush.....can't say any more. Now, today, we need a Bush-like effort for Soup today. Let's keep the crowd loud, electric and rocking. I will do my best, cheering down here in Texas. Maybe some you will be able to hear me! GO BREWERS!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. craigharmann
    Where was this patient, small-ball playing team all season? They came out with a patient, relaxed approach, and it paid off. Granted, they could have scored a few more runs by not leaving the bases loaded 2 consecutive innings, but they looked great! Why couldn't they have changed up their outlook in September and that could have helped. Oh well.
  23. craigharmann
    To quote Jim Mora "Playoffs? Playoffs? You talking about....Playoffs?" Not anymore for the Cubs. 2 years in a row you've been swept out of the first round of the playoffs. Pure awesomenss.
  24. craigharmann
    Bush stepped up huge when it was big-boy time. No homers, no big innings, just an excellent outing, to hopefully set up a win today. He did everything that was asked of him.
  25. craigharmann
    He hurt something running to first. They weren't sure how serious it was, but I'm guessing Dale didn't want to make it any worse.
