It's either the "massive comeback" thread or the "let's just get this one over with before someone gets hurt" thread, depending on your optimism.

massive comebacks are very much possible

sorry...not that old

i’ll dig up my great-great grandfather if you’d like to know what they were like.

although, I think he was in the wrong country.

There's a couple of local teams

They play at Old World Wisconsin and Wade House and usually play during the reenactments at the VA

highlight of my night

deciding to go to the TRats game tomorrow night!

I was there on Tuesday.

Cold, windy night, threatening to rain, and they still had 3600 in the crowd. They’re drawing ridiculously well this year,

we went a few weeks ago

ended up seeing a surprise double header, and froze our butts off. we ended up buying hot chocolate all day to stay warm. It was nuts. We had on hats and gloves and had a blanket on our laps

First A ball game I ever went to

Went to Davenport to see Prince Fielder’s Beloit Snappers play. About an hour before we were scheduled to leave, I noticed they were starting early and playing a doubleheader so we scrambled to get there and showed up in the third inning of game one. They did a fifth inning stretch, confusing both of us, then Fielder hit a home run in the eighth and both sides walked off. We had no idea minor league doubleheaders were 7 innings, so we were both confused as hell.

yeah

it confused us as well. Plus, I think because it was cold and because there werent that many people there, they only did all their promotion stuff during one game. Made the second game REALLY long in that cold

Also

We decided to see if there was anything else to do while we’re up there for the day and found this: “Bringing the world of paper to life, the Paper Discovery Center is an exciting place to learn about the history of paper, how it is made, and what the paper industry is all about. This beautiful center is in the old Atlas Mill of Appleton, and also houses the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame.”

AWE
SOME

by tristarscoop on Jul 2, 2009 9:13 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah

I’m frequently annoyed by the constant stream of on field promotions and whatnot at minor league games, but they can get long and slow in a hurry when there’s none of them.

Kendall is trying so hard to take out Dempster's legs.

Gerut pinch hitting

On the white flag scale, that’s akin to putting Narveson in the game.

Offensive substitution: Jody Gerut replaces...

yes, that is rather offensive.

Gerut with his fourth Brewer hit

Now batting .121.

.199 by gameday

by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 2, 2009 9:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

On the season, yes.

.121 as a Brewer.

by KLSnow on Jul 2, 2009 9:09 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

clearly

it’s because we don’t play him every day. if we did, he’d be a .400 player easily

by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 2, 2009 9:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Remind me again.

How’s TGJ doing. Is it better, or worse than .121?

by Legend54321 on Jul 2, 2009 9:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

different parks

by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 2, 2009 9:10 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Isn't the Padres park

pitcher friendly though?

I'll remind you again

When he’s played every day for 3 months and is back to hitting .280/.320/.330.

Please do that.

Only the grass is Gwyn, and he looked greener before the move technically

Braunie with an RBI

5 runs doesn’t sound so crippling, does it?

let’s forget yesterday when i ask that

by pharom on Jul 2, 2009 9:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

The Orioles say NOOOO

First they overcame nine, then the next day, gave up a 5-0 lead

by tristarscoop on Jul 2, 2009 9:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

TH gets better as the night goes on

Jody Gerut just got a pinch-hit single for the Brewers. I’m not kidding. Honest.

Aside from Gallardo though...

… it’s impossible for them to look any better. It would be nice to have Bush back, but I’m not sure how much better they would look with him starting one of these 4 games.
