Isn't it the Wisconsin way
to indoctrinate our youth with beer in celebratory gestures?

The way I look at it
If Bernie isn’t allowed to slide into a giant mug of beer, the rest of us have to do it for him

Irish Coffey
Reply prognostication: Someone tells me he’s Scottish
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
good man!
I already proclaimed the nickname here at home and was put down.
by Nicole Haase on Jun 14, 2009 2:58 PM CDT up reply actions
I love that nickname for Seth
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
right?
thank you! the boyfriend keeps trying to push Decaf as his nickname, but I think I’m right on with Irish Coffey!

I would have toldyou he was Scottish...
…. but I was otherwise detained….
i have a reasonable dislike of Bill Hall.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jun 14, 2009 3:06 PM CDT up reply actions
I was going to say that he was Scottish aswell
You can get Scottish coffee- it is like Irish coffee but with a different type of whisky
no one has yet verified that he's Scottish
it’s all conjecture at this point, so I’m sticking with Irish Coffey until otherwise proved wrong
by Nicole Haase on Jun 14, 2009 3:14 PM CDT up reply actions
I think I'm going to stay with it even if it gets to that point
After all, Carlos Lee isn’t actually a horse

Didn't we put Jamie on this a couple of weeks ago?
Do they make 6’5" Irish people?

My 6'3" was born Lauren O'Halloran, so he says yes, there are tall Irish folks
by Nicole Haase on Jun 14, 2009 3:17 PM CDT up reply actions
Well, there you are then.
Asked and answered. All the Irish folk I know are about 5’6 -5’9", most with dark hair.

awesome
Thanks! I love that stuff. Those no-logo Pirates unis with black and red socks are simply beautiful.

I wouldn't worry about that too much...
Macha seems pretty strict about treating the “25th guy on the team” as exactly that. DiFelice was seen as the last guy to make the bullpen out of ST and consequently did nothing but mop-up duty the first few weeks of the season despite mowing down everybody, then Swindle and so far Smith were used exactly the same way despite excellent AAA performances. I think that role is going to Narveson now.
If only we had a good LOOGY at AAA instead of Narveson...
I last May, still no more than Nick Neugebauer not.
is that allowed?
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
That had me worried
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Double switch at the beginning of the 7th i think
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Sorry, that was supposed to be a reply
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Why?
Gamel’s already on the bench.
i have a reasonable dislike of Bill Hall.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jun 14, 2009 3:08 PM CDT up reply actions
I actually looked it up
And apparently there is an obscure rule where you can make a double switch that DOESN’T include a player who’s name rhymes with “Batt Hamel”
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Gotta keep him in the ball park
He’s only 64 HR away from 100 on his career
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Jinxed it
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
That and he didn't make good contact
but mostly you i think

If it were a just world....
Hardy would be due for about 7 bloop singles in a row.

Response to battlekow's question about hitting and giving up 1st career HRs in a game
The last time it happened was August 23, 2004 – John Van Benschoten hit a homer in the bottom of the 2nd after giving one up to Chris Snyder in the top of the second.

Looks like the Hoff is getting up?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
don't
hassle the Hoff
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
he's thrown once since last saturday
and that was yesterday

Closers
can come in at home in a tie game. If the Brewers take the lead, it would be a walkoff, anyway.
Only if he gets dealt.

so
someone would trade for him and then sit him on the bench?
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
He'd lose Brewers PT
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
True.

Hoffman has barely any platoon split over his career, thanks to changeup
It was a great selection of awesome.
I wasn't actually suggesting they should pull Hoffman for Stetter...
… but thanks.

Huge shift
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
it's tucked in his waistband
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Thome
got in the Hoff’s head.

Damn

Ok, now I'm ticked
I can hear the “Let’s go White Sox” cheer, unacceptable

Haha

that sucked.
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
Why did it have to happen in a tie game though?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Get Fields
and then it’s rally time.

I'm a little surprised that the 3-0 pitch was even close to the plate.
Why not just put him on with the way he’d been hitting today?

Does Corey
have a third one in him today?
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
damnedy damn damn
He was not throwing well there – glad it’s only one run because that was an ugly appearance. Poor pitch choices.
Looked more like a lack of control to me.

If they're going to count Hoffman's streak as 18 2/3
They need to count Earl Stephenson’s as 19 1/3 – he also got two outs in the inning that broke the streak before a run scored.

where is
Jim Breuer?
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
It's not Kendall's spot
(if that’s what you’re relieved about)

No Gamel?
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
Not sure I want him as out potential last out
Not making contact enough right now

Cat man!
"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."
It'd be funny if Macha had Gamel bunt to "shut up the fans"

I can't believe we're actually PH for Kendall
dickie_thon: Third baseman Bill Hall / Watches the third strike go by / Gamel grabs his glove
I think you'll find Kendall hasn't been hitting all season...

No
He was taken out of a blowout on May 6 and double-switched out on May 27, but otherwise he’s finished every game he’s entered.
