We're Mugless Today

KL's internet is down, and I've got a ton of work to do before heading out to Game 2 later this afternoon (I know, I know, don't feel TOO sorry for me).

So, consider this your pre-game open thread.  Anything interesting on the Interwebs--throw it in the comments for all to see.

Thanks!

is the labrum near the labia?

I could've sworn that said we were muggles

I thought you were giving up on postseason magic too soon. But then I read it again and realized my error.

Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.

the Brewers are magical, although we may not be

Can you doubt this after seeing a season of CC Sabathia?

Also, the team has at least one guy with a wizarding-appropriate alliterative name. (And another who would if he didn’t go by his middle name.)

Don't worry

I read it the exact same way and took a second to ponder if I was totally missing the connection between that and the Brewers. Looooooooong day!

Snarkey Remarks

Quick someone make a snarkey remark, that way I can pretend we had the mug and my mugless shakes will stop.

3 days rest is good!

The designated hitter rule is like letting someone else take Wilt Chamberlain's free throws.

This game is huge today and CC is calm

lol

the first several posters on that blog are women.

odd that. I thought a majority of baseball fans were men. But I guess there are more hardcore female Braun fans or something;)

Lineup today

CF Mike Cameron
2B Ray Durham
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
SS JJ Hardy
RF Corey Hart
3B Craig Counsell
C Jason Kendall
P CC Sabathia

Not bad… maybe the defense improves… and Counsell shows why he is clutch in the playoffs!

now if only they would realize they need a non-Hart option in the outfield

Gah

when these Rays fans finally go to a game, they bang cowbells like lunatics. Quickly becoming unwatchable.

Slightly better

than thundersticks, I suppose.

by Braunstalker on Oct 2, 2008 1:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Thundersticks are better.

Throw in a monkey, and you’ve got the makings of a great playoff game. As long as the Angels aren’t playing the Red Sux, apparently.

I sat next to him in 05

He has kick ass seats in the what they call the Kane section I believe

Not a bad deal for $200.00 you get a seat 50 feet from home plate and all you can eat and drink before and during the game they have not one but two small buffet rooms behind the seats one with fancy food and one with all ball park fair

I actually love catching a game at the Trop

Go Rays

If Loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right

Brew Crew Ball is made with whole grains and contains bits of real grit. It's the perfect dessert for a playoff berth that's been in the crock pot for 26 years. Guaranteed to enhance your sarcasm and sense of irony!

Ode to spring.

I like the snow as much as anybody who likes snow. I even don't dread shoveling. Still, I find myself anxious for spring. 

Why?

I can't wait to play hookey from work or school and make it to a game at Miller Park. I want to have the money I save now go to a goal other than just tuition and bills. I want to sit behind home plate and watch Brauny hit a monstrous homer.

And that, my friends, is all I want for Christmas - spring.
