Voted less for watching/attending games.
Not because the team is doing bad. Work schedule is just really hectic this summer. :(
I've done less watching and more attending.
But those two aren’t really related.

Less as well
Still a full season ticket holder. But haven’t had as much time to attend the games. Bought a house, both are back in school, really puts a damper on games you can attend.
Probably cutting back from full next year.
I have decided to focus on brewing beer
instead of the Brewers this summer.

What ya brewing?
I have a Sierra Nevada clone about to be bottled.
Made a Two Hearted Ale clone that got to warm and fermented to much (has a watery finish). And about to brew a hoppy scotch ale called Hop Scotch.
Autumn Amber Ale
kit from Midwest Brewers. First time I am brewing. It looked like a simple one to start with.
Give him an offspeed pitch down and in. He will swing and miss.
How much does this cost to get started with?
Got any links?

Depending on what you have around your house now
it may not cost much at all to get started.
3 years ago, when I got started, I decided to go pretty much whole hog with brewing. Full sized glass carboys, all the tubing and filling syphons I could carry…:)
You can also do it with 5 gal buckets and a medium set of tubing for much less money.
For a basic price list of supplies check out: http://www.wineandhop.com/CatalogBeer/beerKits.shtml. The Wine and Hop Shop is in Madison right around Camp Randall. Good collection of supplies (kits and pieces-parts) and a lot of knowledge in-house.
"The Milwaukee Brewers' line score is starting to resemble an international phone number" - Pittsburgh Pirates Radio during 20-0 shutout - 4-22-10
I've been using the 5 gal buckets and basic tubing
for about 2 years now. To be honest, the only decent thing I’ve brewed from scratch (i.e. without a kit) has been a stout that is kinda OK. My big success has been a nettle beer that hasn’t crazily exploded all the bottles as happened last year…
"I hope your name is Rick"
Good stuff
How many bottles does that there 5 gallon bucket get you?

About 54 bottles
I spent about $170 to start with shipping. I bought my stuff from here. I bought the kit with a better bottle, a 20 quart kettle, an ingredient kit and some Star San. Ingredient kits look like they are mostly in the $25-35 range for 5 gallons. If you live in Milwaukee this place might be good.

54 – 12oz bottles that is. A little over 2 cases of beer. Cheaper than Leinies. A lot cheaper than New Glarus and other craft beers. Unless this hombrewing falls completely flat, I plan to drink mostly homebrew with some craft beer to supplement it.

I've got three carboys full right now!
A West Coast pale ale, an English ESB and a Scottish Heavy Ale (which hopefully will be ready by the end of the year).

Just brewed a honey hibiscus beer, myself
With homegrown honey from a friend. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I was disappointed with the lack of hookers but the pancakes were delightful
What does attend games on TV mean?
Does it mean that you watch the game on TV while at the ballpark or are you asking if the games we attended were televised?
Give him an offspeed pitch down and in. He will swing and miss.
I am watching less and have gone to zero games this year
but that has more to do with my work schedule this year than anything. So I voted honestly, but it doesn’t reflect my actual interest in a ‘struggling Brewers club’.
I mean…I’m here voting in a poll, right?

i've just traveled less
so i haven’t been in milwaukee to see the brewers at home and they haven’t come out east yet (due to the schedule), so it’s a timing issue. and now i’m moving and buying a house, so i won’t even be here when they stop by!

I'm watching almost every game
But I can understand why people are paying attention less, the fun that was there since the run in ‘08 is pretty much gone. The untucking is a good symbol for what this team is missing – they have a lot of character, and should be happily expressing it. It feels like they’re being repressed more than coached, and having a month worth of trade rumors flying around the roster has got to be stressful.

I have been to about 7 or 8 games
But catch almost every game on TV.
But next year I will probably attend fewer games since I am buying a home. I will always watch the games on tv. I pretty much watch whoever is on when they are on. Hopefully I can teach my daughter a love of the game the same way that I have it.
At the very worst I will remember this season as the first full season after she was born and rocking her to sleep in front of the tv while the game was on almost every night. This will probably be the only time I get to do that again.
Yeah, trust me
when they’re old enough to actually sit and watch it with you, they’d rather be playing Pokemon on their DS, or watching iCarly, or something. Even if they want to grow up to be professional baseball players.

Hey, I'm only about 70 Pokémon away from collecting them all
Pokemon is a very baseball-friendly game. You hardly need to pay attention to either and still be able follow the action.
In my case I used to forgo sleep to watch them but have decided
to sleep more instead. I would watch the games after getting home from work and end up getting to bed around 6-7 in the morning instead of 4.

I think its safe to assume we know how I answered the game watching question
Yeah, well, sometimes I drink.

I'm attending the same number of games
but watching a lot less because of my school and work schedule.
My goodness.
Watching and attending the same number of games
For some reason, Doug Davis seems much more egregious to me than Randy Wolf. I can see why DM thought RW might be decdent. I can’t understand how he thought that about DD. I guess that’s why the 3-year v. 1-year contracts.

Logo
can we have the new logo versus old logo question on the next poll? I bet it is pretty close to 50-50.
