WEFFPIM's Tidbits
-Since I joined you last, the Brewers lost their stranglehold of the NL Central, and momentarily found themselves in 3rd place in the division. Isn't that just classic? Now, those scrappy little mind****ers are 2.5 back of those lovables, and I've already diverted my attention to other, more important things, such as dryer lint.
-Home Sweet Home, where the Brewers recently went 1-5 against the Ankiels and the Commies. So boy, here's looking up to that.
-Jericho's on tomorrow night, and even though it's a repeat, I cannot fathom how many ways Jericho is more important to me than this coat hanger abortion of a team.
-Maybe in this situation, the old adage will be true, and the captain will go down with his ship...
-Can anyone figure out a good way to work "Yi Jianlian" into this upcoming version of "Light It Up"?
-If I'm doing a game thread for Saturday, well, gee golly willikers I might just crap myself in pure joy, since I'm on a Capuanoesque losing streak of my own.

Good Luck, you overachieving sons of bitches.

Plain and simple we need to beat the bad teams at home. We need to sweep the Pittsburgh Pirates . Not take 2/3 . Sweep.

You must be a very young Brewer fan, but a very faithful one.
I will give you credit for that. But after 25 years of crap I am old and tired and I have no hope.

Bring a really big bucket and put a sign on it that says here to help push the water out. Maybe they will show you on TV. :D

I made a thread about it on the Bucks board last night. Gad told me it is now on channel 116, which it is. NBA TV is now moved to channel 119 and channel 117 is ESPNU.
