Enough Said

At the cost of hearing every bobblehead story, ever, trades were discussed tonight with the Bobblehead guy. Since Vargas was pitching, I think all the stories only took one inning. I told him the two we need, and he said trading a Moore for a Thomas would be a piece of cake for you. He said if I get a blue in any of the remaining games, he will trade me a white and a Caldwell since he gets numerous per game and does not want me to miss just one. He actually seemed genuinely concerned that we were both short just one.


His advice was for me to get a Uecker ticket this Friday to get an extra Thomas to trade you for your Moore. He went into detail on where I need to go and what time, and included numerous standing in line stories. But I really don't want to become a bobblehead guy, so I may not.

Other notes:

3-1 in July so far to take the total season to 12-7. Trivia. Of the losses I have seen, how many of them were attended by Tim?

Who hates Milwaukee/Wisconsin more: Gary Sheffield (this goes way back), Javon Walker or Ji Hawwwwww?

Arena Football in Milwaukee

Arena football is returning to Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Bonecrushers, a new entry in the Continental Indoor Football League, will play a brand of indoor football beginning in the spring of 2008 at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

Cheek, it looks like you will have a reason to become another type of season ticketholder and hopefully the "Nut" will return with this new arena football team for hours of in-game entertainment at the same level as Mike McCarter (a.k.a, Freeway) with Marquette Golden Eagles and Milwaukee Bucks games.

No Mose?

Will there be anymore episodes with the Turnip Farming Mose?

No Mo?

What's he waiting for?

Does he want to see what happens with Yi?

Nomo?

He wasn't bad was he?

12-8 on a 5th place team. Ace of the staff?

No Maas

PEORIA, Ill. -- Broadcaster Bill Maas, a former All-Pro lineman, was released from jail Sunday after his arrest on drug possession and weapons charges during a roadside check.

Maas and passenger Sarah Murphy were released Sunday and ordered to return to court Aug. 21, jail officials said.

The two were arrested Friday night after authorities stopped Maas' sport utility vehicle along Illinois Route 116. They asked to search the vehicle after Maas appeared nervous, officials said. The search uncovered a .22-caliber revolver, 5 grams of suspected marijuana, 6 grams of suspected cocaine and 28 pills of Ecstasy, police said.

The 45-year-old Maas was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and unlawful use of a weapon. Murphy was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana, jail officials said.

Maas was drafted out of Pittsburgh by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1984 and became a two-time All-Pro. The defensive tackle played with the Chiefs until 1992 and with Green Bay the following year. He joined Fox Sports in 1996 and worked for the network as a reporter, anchor and analyst through last season.

Fox's Dan Bell told USA Today that Maas "wasn't expected" to work for the network this season and "will not be coming back to Fox in any capacity" after his arrest.

Maas and Murphy, 27, live in Lee's Summit, Mo. Maas' telephone listing was not published and no telephone information could be found in Lee's Summit for Murphy. It was unclear if the two had retained a lawyer.


I really am happy this guy off of Fox Sports broadcasts and especially with Packer game broadcasts. I really could not stand listening to his rants that did not make much sense.

Don't have too big of an issue with anyone put on, but I think Hanley Ramirez got the most robbed.

On the verge, no criteria other than young and didn't otherwise make it.
