Their poll question: Will the Brewers ever lose again?


Awesome

Back to Double Digits

Its good to see that we are now back to double digits for posts, even in a month with 30 days versus 31. Here were some posts that I thought of but never got around to:


-Ben Effen Sheets
-Greatest Softball game ever televised (Favre's game was on Time Warner Sports)
-USA Gold Cup Champs!
-Cheek misquotes: De La Rosa for St. Pierre, not even in the same season?
-Sometimes I really miss my subscription to Nintendo Power
-Rotz, what does he do in the summer?

A Segway to Capuano

Is it just me, or does it seem that a lot of women in Milwaukee are hopelessly infatuated with Chris Capuano to an almost unhealthy level. I work with one girl who has more pictures of Capuano up in her cubicle wall than she does of her boyfriend of five years. This girl really knows a little too much about him, since she also knows where he lives in downtown Milwaukee. This girl recently taped in High Definition (HD) the episode of The Young and the Restless to see Chris Capuano, Jeff Suppan, Bill Hall & J.J. Hardy make their acting debut that aired on June 20. I also got some behind the scenes stuff off of YouTube about their appearance. I also recently read an article on OnMilwaukee.com about the top five places in Milwaukee that Chris Capuano likes to go out and eat at. This was brought to my attention by the Capuano stalker I work with. I now believe she will be trying to eat out at those restaurants when the team is in town to see if she can catch a glimse of the major league baseball player she says she would leave her boyfriend for. The only thing I would enjoy seeing Capuano do beside winning games as a Brewers pitcher would be riding around downtown Milwaukee on a segway!

My Letter to the Editor

“Aaron Beat Odds Bonds Cheats’em”. This was the sign I held up during the Tuesday night Brewer game, which was confiscated in the middle of the first inning by Miller Park security. I was not given a specific reason, I was simply told that it “was against MLB Policy” and that I could have it back at the end of the game. When I went to guest relations in the fourth inning to ask why the sign was taken, I was told the Brewers did not want signs that discussed steroid abuse and Barry Bonds. I asked, “where does my sign state that?” After a hard look at the sign, the response was, “It does not, someone just did not like your sign.” The official then stated something about the sign being against the fan code of conduct. I simply would like to know when the Brewers informed the public that they censored signs via their fan code of conduct, and I would also like to know why my sign was improper but the yelling, booing, swearing, heavy drinking, and flat out rude public behavior that occurred at the 12 games I have been to this year is deemed acceptable.

(the above was sent to JSOnline and the Milwaukee Brewers at 10:45 pm after the game)

Was there ever any doubt?

I think Prince's inside the park home run on Sunday puts to bed any doubt that he would beat Randy in a foot race. He would not only beat him, he would crush him.

And I don't know about you guys, but I am pumped for Gallardo's start tonight. Also, my sister and I made my "Aaron Beat Odds Bonds Cheats'em" sign for Tuesday, so look for me on Sportscenter this Wednesday.

Looks like Noah and I are on the same page

Did you guys see this article yet :http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=619001? It looks like Jokim wants to be on the Bucks as much as I want him to be on the Bucks. Honestly, who does this guy think he is? This just proves it, DO NOT DRAFT JOKIM NOAH! My prediction is we will draft the guy who is closest in size and skill to Charlie V. as we can.

From JSOnline:

Florida power forward Al Horford and Gators shooting guard Corey Brewer are expected to work out at some point next week, but the exact dates have not been set.
"We will get those guys in," Babcock said.

Another member of the Gators' national championship squad, 6-11 power forward Joakim Noah, has elected not to work out with the Bucks. Noah already has gone through workouts for Chicago, Charlotte, Minnesota and Boston, and he has workouts scheduled with Memphis, Sacramento and Atlanta.

"He and his agent made a decision it wasn't a workout they wanted to do," Babcock said. "We would have liked him to work out, but everybody has their views on each situation."

Creed Thoughts

During "The Office" season three finale I thought the line about Creed writing his thoughts on a blog was pretty fun. I mean if you could get into the mind of Creed and see the crazy stuff he is thinking after nearly four decades of heavy drug use, you would be kind of curious as to what types of things make sense to him. I think Ryan Howard put it best though:

"...Wanting to protect the world from being exposed to Creed's brain, I opened up a Word document on his computer and put an address at the top. I've read some of it. Even for the Intranet, it's...pretty shocking."

Well, low and behold, NBC has put Creed's blog to life. The blog is updated on a weekly basis each Thursday since the finale with Creed's random thoughts about things, similar to the list (may the list rest in peace). I think you all should go to:

Look out for the Derecho!

This is getting out of hand

So at the Brewers game Monday night versus the Cubs, things got out of hand in the bleachers. First off I will back track to the First and Second innings when the Brewers were putting guys on, the place was loud and rocking with Brewer fans. This was about the time that FIB family behind us (this guy was the definition of FIB) dumped a beer all over my sister's purse while their ADD kids kicked her in the back. Honestly, these people were awful, and I really did not expect them to apologize (which they did not), but I would think the D-Bag's wife who was directly behind my sister would at least mention something about the spill.

Anyway, after complaining about how overrated and overpaid Sorryano was (he was 2-2 at that point) and complaining that Pie (as in apple pie not Pi-a) was not in the GameDay (I'm not even a Cubs fan but I new he was called up on Sunday and that his name was not pronounced like the dessert), he took his kids to play games (obviously, the Brewers were winning). Without fail, he comes back after the Cubs take the lead singing the praises of the "best outfielder in the game today". At this point I realized what happened to the purse and threw my soak in wet GameDay programs under his chair in the hopes that he would slip and fall. I even thought about buying a soda (I don't drink soda) just so I could apologize to him after dumping it on him.

But the people in our section did worse. After cussing the guy out (which he deserved, but the Brewer fans did not need to sink to his level), to get the guy back they started making fun of his daughter since the D-Bad bought her a Brewer bat. At this point, even with how bad this guy deserved it, I was embarrassed by Brewer fans who would mock a 3 year old (granted they were teaching her to say Brett Favre is the best, which is true) just to get this guy.

All in all, the game sucked and a whole lot of the Cubs and Brewer fans sucked worse. Two kind of people who attend sporting events: people who support their team and people who go to antagonize the opposition and their fans. I honestly have to say it was probably the worst game I have been to.

On a side note, the White Sox fans are lucky they had the County Sheriffs versus the MPD. I saw some police really strong arm some Cubs fans (I think I even saw a '80's choke hold). Probably the only highlight other than the Prince Home Run.

May All Stars

Next projection will be at the true all-star break.
Not too many changes, Fielder obviously forced his way on. Estrada even at a weak position didn't earn it.

1B Derek Lee /PRINCE FIELDER, Albert Pujols /Nomar Garciaparra
2B Chase Utley / Kelly Johnson /Rickie Weeks
3B Miguel Cabrera / Chipper Jones, Amaris Ramirez /Scott Rolen
SS Jose Reyes / JJ HARDY, Hanley Ramirez /Adam Everett

RP Francisco CORDERO/Jose Valverde, Trevor Hoffman, Billy Wagner, Takashi Saito, Chad Cordero (only to get Nationals an entry)/ Brett Myers

32nd pick: Adrian Gonzalez, Dmitri Young, Oliver Perez, Rich Hill, Todd Helton

May was rough, but not the end of the season

By my accounts, the Brewers were 16-9 on April 30th (3.5 game lead) and 30-24 (6.5 game lead) on May 31st. Based on that trend, if we continue to play .500 (or just below .500) ball the rest of the way, we should end up winning the central by 18.5 games.

My quest to attend one game per home series continued in May. I ended up at 4-1 at games attended in May to take the season tally to 6-3, with all 3 losses coming on Retro Fridays. I am 9-0 on obtaining the different Gameday programs.

My Brewers Top 5 at the end of April was:
Hardy
Cordero
Capuano
Fielder
Jenkins

My New Brewers Top 5 at the end of May is:
Fielder
Hardy
Cordero
Sheets
Jenkins

I feel the May list is pretty much the way it should be, except Sheets should be 1st.

In bean bag toss, [undisclosed party] and I are 2-3, with all three losses coming to John and Randy. I definitely feel we could have easily beat them if we could have played them after those kids. The girls were kind of a exhibition game versus a qualifying game, and the intensity just was not there. I mean, the pure jubilation we had when we defeated those kids was awesome. The running high five really showed them who was boss.
