  1. Yep, the Brewers looked bad last night but we shouldn't be afraid to play in St. Louis. If this was just a regular season three game set, we would be expecting to get at least one and fairly confident in our chances to get two of three. If we get two, we have two shots at home to make the World Series.
  2. I feel like I'm about to puke. I'd be less nervous if I was actually playing in the game, I think. 10 Brewer runs in the first inning might make me feel better http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  3. Nervous as heck this morning but excited to see some Brewer playoff baseball! I'm releasing to the Crew all the Chi that my Crazy Joe Dillon avatar can muster.
  4. If Rickie's ankle isn't 100%, he shouldn't be running on it. If it was the playoffs right now, sure, but we need him to be 100% for the playoffs. It would be disastrously stupid to play him in mostly meaningless September games if it's not fully healed. Having sprained both ankles multiple times and having tried to play on it, I can vouch for how easy it is to reinjure if you come back too soon.
  5. It really must not be fun for you to be a Brewer fan. If DM would've followed your model, 2008 and 2011 would never have been playoff seasons. For me, if we stink again in 5 years, so be it.
  6. If Weeks doesn't come off the DL before Sept 1, no one will have to be shipped out for him to be on the 25 man. Basically he'd be like a September call-up, wouldn't he?
  7. 1. Phil Mickelson - I cried when he won the Masters. 2. Aaron Rodgers - I cried when we won the Super Bowl. 3. Ryan Braun 4. Prince Fielder 5. Rickie Weeks
  8. Your average hotel room costs the hotel $30-40 to rent out. I don't know how you can expect much lower than $62. We usually do Priceline and get a ~$55 rate.
  9. There is a 0% chance that Green is the PTBNL for the Mets. Doug would not speak of discussions about bringing Green up if the possibility existed that he was off limits. I'd have been fuming if we had to trade Green for a piece that, while talented and bolstering to our team, is only going to be here for 20-30 innings. I appreciate the help at the back end of the bullpen but it's not worth Green.
  10. Broken Bow Campground is not far from there (Lac Du Flambeau), we stayed there a long time ago. It is on Broken Bow Lake and it's no-wake so it's definitely quiet.
  11. I've never gone wrong with whiskey & seven. If I'm out at a nice place, I always go with Crown Royale but at home it's usually Windsor. Just over half whiskey and like San Diego, it always goes down smooth.
  12. brewcrew - do the priceline "name your price". Should be able to get a $50 four star hotel room.
  13. Worst. Call. Ever. Do you suppose the umps have it out for Nyjer with all his previous antics?
  14. Anyone like Dexter? I'm going through it on Netflix, just a few episodes into season two now. Definitely liking it.
  15. Me too. Living in MN it's the only chance I have to get any Brewers coverage besides Gameday. What a great call by Ueck. His is probably the only voice I've heard consistently from the age of six all the way to today.
  16. "Resurrection" by Fear Factory
  17. Then he's a dumb cheating piece of scum for getting caught. um, what? Would it surprise you if Bo Ryan was caught cheating tomorrow? You're my guy homer, and, I'm probably sparking a new debate but it seems there is no way to stop "recruiting violations" such as these.
  18. I think he's gotten just enough in previous years but the Badgers are missing that second backcourt threat this year. Maybe Gasser becomes that but he's not there yet.
  19. He got Jordan Taylor, didn't he? He had Hughes. I realize he's not going to get any blue chippers but he's usually had a couple guys that can create something on the dribble but this year it's just one guy. Opponents just put their best perimeter defender on Taylor and know that he's basically the only one they'll need to play any help defense on. If Bo had a small forward or shooting guard that posed a threat there'd be more openings for Taylor. We'll still probably finish top 4 in the Big Ten and make the tourney but I'm guessing the best they'll do is win a game or two if they get good matchups.
  20. Badgers just don't have anyone that can break down a defense and get to the rim besides Taylor. Maybe Wilson but he doesn't even see the floor most of the time. Bo just didn't recruit enough athleticism to round out the team for this year. If they had one decent slasher-Alando-Tucker-but-not-even-needing-to-be-as-good-as-Tucker-was type player they'd be a pretty good team with a chance to make a run in the tournament.
  21. Big win for UW last night. Taylor pretty much took over the game after the first 10 minutes. Leuer was solid as usual. Jarmusz chipped in three big threes in the second half too. I didn't expect a win after the first 10 minutes of this game.
  22. Boykins actually got some movement going on offense. Jennings was doing a lot of dribbling while the Wolves just collapsed and kept him out of the lane.
  23. What I can figure out is why it seemed we were running our offense through Drew Gooden? 13 shots? Bogut barely saw the ball. Salmons looked listless out there. Jennings made way too many poor decisions and when he made a good decision no one could hit an open shot. Horrendous shooting night from 3. I guess things can only get better.
  24. Green Day "Dookie" honorable mention: System of a Down "Toxicity" and self-titled Tool "10,000 days" Boston "More than a Feeling" Killswitch Engage "Alive or Just Breathing"
