The name Kevin Slowey sends a shiver down my spine. That said, hopefully we can put some good at bats together against him tonight. It will be interesting to see how McGehee does, as that along with how Gamel does will probably determine how much playing time Hall gets in the near future. I'm a Hall fan, but I honestly hope Gamel has a huge weekend so he sticks around and gets more playing time.
-
That will do Prince, that will do. It is nice to get one to fall after so many hits and double plays early.
-
Braun may want to start wearing a flak jacket if he keeps getting hit right in the ribs, LOL.

Punch-Out!! for Wii is awesome. I just bought it this evening and already love it. It has all of the charm the NES game did with all of the fun that a Wii generation game can have. You can play it like a traditional game with the Wiimote, you can use the Wiimote and the nunchuck, or you can use the Wiimote, nunchuck, and the Wii fitness board.

I happened to be near the mall today so I stopped in to see if they had any of these hats. The Lids at Bayshore does, but of course they had Mench size (8, which was swimming on my head, lol), and then 7 1/2 on down. I am either 7 3/4 or 7 5/8. The hat looks really cool, though.
-
I was hoping they'd bring the blue one back as I missed out on buying one last year, but that red had is pretty snazzy. It looks like all of the stars and stripes hats this year are red.
-
What I was intending is that by having a switch or RHB on the bench we would not have needed to use Rivera against Wandy earlier in the game. Thus, we would have been able to pinch hit a lefty for Kendall in that spot in the 9th as Rivera would have still been available to catch.
-
Hey Bill, this would be a good time for some drama.
-
This is a prime reason why it would be nice to have another right handed (or better yet, a switch hitting) bat off the bench. Had we not been forced to use Rivera we could pinch hit Kendall here. Not that it would happen, just philosophizing.
-
Watching Hunter Pence bat reminds me of Edge from WWE. He is all tense, twitchy, and makes random odd facial expressions. lol Hopefully Yo can keep the damage at one this inning.
-
This post makes me laugh because when the season first started my supervisor (a Cubs fan) said to me about a Brewers game she watched: "There was a guy pitching who had man-boobs and he was adjusting them during the inning, who was that?" That guy was Coffey. lol Andre Smith definitely gives Coffey a run for his money, but I really can't think of any other baseball pitcher even close, not even Ray King or Dennys Reyes.

Brewerfan.net interviews Brooks Kieschnick
thablingster replied to Brian the Automator's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
That is an awesome interview. Thanks for posting it and all of the hard work that went into it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif The Toolshed was always one of my favorite players in the dark ages of the 'crew. I was definitely disappointed when he was released but I always saw that move as the one move that indicated maybe we were finally turning the corner, as if we're getting rid of someone good, hopefully the people we're keeping are good also. I am glad to read Brooks enjoyed his stay here as much we we enjoyed him. I remember my friend and I would stay around at complete blowouts until the last at bat because we knew Yost would use Kiesch as the last batter in the 9th. -
Bush really hung some pitches in that inning and got lucky. Hopefully we can tack more runs on as this game is far from over.
-
That failed rundown may end up on the Not Top Ten this week. Oy.
-
Nice Gamel, nice. You could hear that one was gone off the bat.

Weeks out for the season; Hurricane's a-comin'
thablingster replied to PrinceEatMeat's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is definitely a bad break for Rickie. He has been playing very well this year. I hope it turns out to be something where he does have some soreness in there, but no structural damage. Unfortunately, since it is the wrist he didn't have surgery on the odds of it being just soreness are a bit less. -
I will sit in my purchased seat if possible, but if by the 4th or 5th inning no one is sitting next to/infront of me and I'm sitting next to someone I don't know, I may move over a seat or two depending on the view. If someone comes for the seat I move no questions asked, and since I am sitting a seat or two over anyway it isn't a big deal. I like my space, what can I say. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I mostly sit in 400 these days, but I still remember the days where there would be about 20 people in an entire section of bleachers and you could sit where you want, lol.

I was listening to the radio and laughed so hard when Uecker said that. Basically his take on the whole thing is it doesn't matter what a team does when they win because the game is already over and the losing team already lost.
-
I saw a picture of Wainwright pumping his fist and screaming after striking out Weeks in the 8th, I wonder if Pujols got into it with his teammate for such a classless act. Suppan pitched great today. That is the guy we always used to face who frustrated us so much. For the most part he kept the ball down and on the corners.
-
TH's blog and the Brewers website are now reporting the game will be made up Monday, May 18th at 7:15pm. [link]

Ryan Braun bobblehead with Uecker home run call button

That's pretty awesome, thanks for posting the youtube of it. A very nice collectors item. -
Financial Aid + College Loans/Paying for college
thablingster replied to T B0NE 10's topic in Off-Topic Forum
As a student, your undergraduate federal student loan limit for your entire undergraduate career is $57,500. $5,500 is the maximum in loans a first year, dependent student can receive whose parents are eligible to borrow a Parent PLUS loan on their behalf. Based on the fact you were only offered unsubsidized loans, I'm guessing you may not be Pell eligible and your EFC (from your completed FAFSA) is fairly high. As a previous poster said, people do consider school debt to be "good" debt. It is definitely recommended to not take any more loan eligibility than you need to meet the cost of your tuition, housing, books, and fees. You do have the option to decline any excess which is sent to you. The main thing about receiving loans is basically knowing what you are getting yourself into. It is a great thing that they are available, but you'll want to make sure you take advantage of them, do well in school, and put yourself in a position post-graduation where you'll have the least amount of debt possible and be able to pay them off. -
Rickie Weeks is crushing baseballs. That extra muscle he put on combined with his continued growth and the slight changes to his batting stance are really paying off.
-
It will be exciting to see Gamel, especially if he gets some decent playing time. This really smells of a trade of some sort, and if so it will be interesting to see who goes and for what.

To steal a line from MLB 09 The Show, right now I think the Marlins can't tell the difference between now and 5:30, as Looper is really throwing some BP out there. lol
