Sanchez is all over the place with his fastball, we're just chasing it. Maybe he has a really flat 2-seam he's using because nothing he's thrown is breaking so far.
-
Villy is throwing some good pitches, the Giants are just being pretty patient. Looks like we'll need that middle relief today.
-
Bill Hall does not like your baseball.
-
Way to swing so hard you lost your helmet Ryan, lol.
-
Velez looks like he's going to fall over ontop of the plate with that batting stance.
-
LOL, no. If I don't see those once this year I won't be disappointed.
-
Couldn't really tell the reaction to Gagne, they cut to the introductions just as he was being introduced. To be fair, half the crowd still appears to be out in the parking lots so the reactions aren't as loud as they could be later in the game.
-
Why does Prince in the high socks and extra baggy jersey remind me of Junior Spivey? lol
-
add in being able to be on brewerfan.net in the parking lot and i find this to be the perfect tailgate. baseball, beef, beer, and brewerfan--the true killer B's, there is nothing better. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Doh, got beat to the lineups. On the JS blog they said Gwynn wouldn't be available today or tomorrow with his hammy. Looks like Double G gets more PH opportunities.

Obviously, field and work experience is key no matter which major you choose. Marketing tends to steer you towards sales positions for entry-level just out of college, but that's not always 100% true. Doing a bit of research into the world of work outlooks for marketing and business might not hurt. Here is a site that has some information on what you can do with different majors, and gives you some tips to think about if you're interested in those majors. Really thinking about what your interests, values, and skills are plays a role in it, too. If you like the marketing and sales route and feel comfortable with those principles it may be a good thing for you. If you're not really into selling and that, business might give you more opportunities. As for a personal experience, a friend of mine graduated recently from UWW with a marketing major. She is in a sales job right now, low base but good opportunity for commission. A lot of the jobs she got offered initially were commission only, which you might want to take into consideration too if you have loans, etc. I know that was a lot of rambling, but I hope some of it helped or was at least food for thought. I could talk about career development all day, lol.

You could even have them do the fractions of pitcher balls/strikes, as I know they show that on some of the smaller boards around the stadium. I like the prices idea from drezdn, too. Say the class was given 100 dollars for food, but each student gets their own money, so how much does each student get for concessions? If anyone hits a home run, have them subtract the total distance of the home run from the closest wall estimate (e.g.: if Braun homers to dead center and it is estimated at 430 feet, and the wall is 402 to center, then his ball would have traveled 28 feet further than needed to be a home run). Or alternately, if two players homer have them compare the distances and subtract. Or maybe add them. You could do the same with pitch speeds, or even maybe demonstrate to them by playing the pitch speed game then having them compare your speeds to those of the starting pitchers (hope Suppan is starting that day, of course, lol). You could do things with the time of game. Plus sell the principal on all the children's activities MP put in this year, that can be like recess!

4/3/08 Brewers (Bush) at Cubs (Dempster): 1:20 PM CDT

I hope to not break the string of wins by posting in an IGT, nor do I want to get banned for saying these words, but here it goes. I want sweep suits. Break the 2004 curse. lol -
(chris webber retires), why do i feel old?
thablingster replied to flosses like fossas's topic in Off-Topic Forum
It is always hard to watch people you grew up admiring retire. I've been at that place in my life these past few years. It is kind of sobering, lol. -
3/27/08 Brewers (DeFelice) at Cubs (Bailey): 2:05 PM CDT
thablingster replied to wOOgiE22's topic in Archived Game Threads
DeRosa was totally tanking that, but that wasn't an awful throw, nice arm. Next time hit the cut off man, though. -
It is definitely harder to hit home runs this year. It is a good thing, but kind of frustrating when you get a 4-seamer right down the middle and you fail to crush it 9 times out of 10. Realistic as that may be, it is still frustrating, lol. For the most part standard bunting is fine, but drag bunting has given me fits as to where last year I could drag bunt for base hits all I wanted with guys like Corey Hart and Craig Counsell. Now when I try to drag bunt the guy doesn't even take the bat off of his shoulder.
-
LOL, yeah some of the annoying Show staples are still there. What I hate is they've pretty much made it impossible to drag bunt this year as to where last year it was easy. I just played an epic 20 inning game against the Mets mostly due to that. Twice in extra innings I instructed my batter to bunt and both times he failed to even ATTEMPT as I'm mashing the bunt button, leaving the runner out to dry. Overall I struck out the Mets 25 times and won on a Bill Hall RBI single which scored Prince Fielder. The funniest part of all was that I decided to pinch hit Jeff Suppan instead of J.J. Hardy with two outs after Fielder singled and Suppan drew a walk, getting Hall to the plate. It was also funny I pretty much left Guillermo Mota on the mound to either win or lose the game and he pitched 5 innings with 7 strikeouts.

It depends on what we need. If the bases are loaded I'd be tempted to pick Craig Counsell and his ridiculous career stats with the sacks full. Can I pick Jeff Cirillo? lol If we're just looking at late and close situations I'd go with Prince or Braun as they're the best hitters, even though I don't think of either as clutch.

Do not want. My eyes, they burn. It is definitely weird, will take some getting used to.

Cappy needs to show something today. It is put up or shut up time. I've always been a fan so I hope he comes out strong.
-
This is pretty awesome! I'd definitely be interested in the Sheets bobble. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

The ball thing happened again and I thought quickly enough to get my camera phone and take a picture of it for LOL's. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o254/gjenkins05/lolball.jpg In the game this pic is from Gallardo was owning the Cubs (he had outscored them 2 RBI to 1 as well, LOL) when he grabbed his elbow and had to come out of the game. I was afraid it was time for Claudio to come up and pound that meat, but Gallardo is only out a few days, thankfully.
