They have them in Des Moines
But I never made it to one.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
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
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,
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
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.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
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
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.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Kendall is trying so hard to take out Dempster's legs.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Gerut pinch hitting
On the white flag scale, that’s akin to putting Narveson in the game.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Gerut with his fourth Brewer hit
Now batting .121.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
On the season, yes.
.121 as a Brewer.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
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.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
Please do that.
i have a reasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

The grass is always greener
Only the grass is Gwyn, and he looked greener before the move technically
JJ!!! JJ!!
I am typing this before JJ does something awesome in the hopes that JJ does do something awesome.
COME ON JJ! I will hit post if you do something awesome JJ. That’s all i ask for. Be awesome. I know you can. JUST BE AWESOME.
Strike outs aren’t awesome.
Braunie with an RBI
5 runs doesn’t sound so crippling, does it?
let’s forget yesterday when i ask that
TH gets better as the night goes on
Jody Gerut just got a pinch-hit single for the Brewers. I’m not kidding. Honest.
"my goodness"
love these summerfest/all star game vote spots
they keep talking as though their live break ins. It’s awfully bright outside for 918pm
well
gotta have someone eat up inning in a blowout game

Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't have a really bad feeling about the rest of this series?
I’m having a bad moment.

McClung won't start anymore games this series

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.

yeah, right in front of the ivy.
he didn’t look like he had his best stuff, maybe that elbow is still bothering him
by sowingwildoats on Jul 2, 2009 9:42 PM CDT up reply actions
Or maybe he was just pitching to contact.
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."
At least Fielder's making Marmol throw more pitches...
… why is Lou using Marmol anyway?

Ball 2 and Strike 3 looked awfully similar....
… but both were too close to take.

yeah i immediately went to go check too.
mcgehee will most likely need another conversation with that helmet

Get 'em tomorrow boys...
