I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the greedy people who buy season tickets and sell the popular games on eBaY for a huge profit and I am forced to hear cheering when the visiting Cub's get on base.

There are plenty of Brewer fans who wanted to go to the series as well the crowd seemed to be more than 50% red&blue.

Making money is cool and all but not to the extent of selling out your home field advantage.

Even add a statement in the auction about only selling to Brewers fans. That would be kinda funny actually.

WOW ! what a 1st. round he put on in the home run derby tonight. That was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed in my life. I can't imagine what it was like to be at Yankee stadium for that.

For those of you who don't know Josh Hamilton was a former# 1 draft pick out of high school but after a car accident and drug problems was out of baseball 3 years and one day turned his life around.He leads all of baseball with 95 RBI'S going into the all-star break.


but tonight he hit 28 Home runs ( a record )in the first round in the home run derby at Yankee stadium the most remarkable performance I have ever seen.

More amazing was the 71 year old pitcher throwing to him Clay Counsill who threw close to 100 pitches who has been throwing to Josh since legion ball.

Why isn't   there a movie about this talented outfielder ?

I thought he looked sharp..we had a a 5-0 lead and he pitched a 3 up 3 down 8th....


Why didn't Ned Yost allow him to build his confidence up a little and let him pitch the 9th as well. He instead opted to use 3 different pitchers and wear his every day closer Torres down even more for a very dissapointing loss.

Well I don't know if you pay attention to the business section , but more and more company's seem to be moving job's overseas or down south for cheaper labor.

I know we cannot beat China in a war, but I am pretty sure we can beat the southern states who are taking our jobs.

This may seem like kinda of a radical new idea but perhaps maybe a war against the south may be just what we need. First we need to establish who the south is I would say below Pennsylvania or so should do.

I know one country fighting against another may seem odd and unthinkable but us in the Midwest and other Northern states are paying the most taxes , housing is more , heath care and overall cost of living.

Why in the south it is still cheap to live and die.

My idea is this wage war with he southern states and make history and with a little luck take this country back.


I know this has probably has never been done before , but this may be what this country needs. ( well the northern states may need ).

I know war isn't always the answer but they " Took our Jobs ".

I seen a gal wearing this at the game the other day..and found the same shirt on eBaY

They are using a pun on that Fukudome guy.

I googled Gabe Kapler and found some images with his shirt off , he has a very impressive physique.





Why isn't this guy starting ?

and JJ Hardy look out , the ladies have new piece of meat to go drool over at Miller Park

If I were Ned Yost this is what my lineup would look like.


1. Corey Hart , CF
2. Russell Branyon , 3B
3. Joe Dillon ,1B
4. Ryan Braun , LF
5. Gabe Kapler , RF
6. J.J. Hardy , SS
7. Craig Counsell , 2B
8. Jason Kendall , C
9. Pitcher's spot

This leaves some good , but inconsistent Bat's on the Bench as well

Jason Kendall and Gabe Kapler are huge cogs in the brewers success so far this season...They may not make a whole lot of money by MLB standards but the effect their experience will have on the team is priceless.

my only regret is that MLB doesn't have 4 outfielders  , cuz it is safe to say  Kapler will be on the bench when Cameron returns , both stand up guys from what I hear

on a side not I am impressed with another new brewer Eric Gagne' yes he blew a couple saves but we ultimately got the Win. it is all apart of the pitcher catcher learning curve which by the last two outings it seems they are meshing well Gagne' didn't shake off Kendall to often.

now I hope Prince and Ryan can " start seeing the ball better" that is MLB talk for knocking the cover off the ball...you just have to see it better first.

that guy evidently isn't done being a tattle tale Yet. His last Book "Juiced " where he dropped the Dime on former friends and team mates wasn't enough now he is writing a new one " Vindicated " calling them " Big Names, Big Liars and the Battle to Save
Baseball."






What is this guys problem ? why does he feel the need to be whistle blower so bad...I wish this whole steroid stuff would disappear so I can read the sports section without an article about steroids.

Jose' I will not be buying your book...As a kid I admired you very much on the field. As an adult I enjoyed seeing you on the surreal life , you seemed like you weren't the jerk the media portrays you as , but please stop writing books about your old teammates...these guys should be lifelong friends of yours not people you tell on and expose them to the attention you disparately crave.

I think you should apologize to everyone you dimed out..if they want to come clean that is one thing but they do not need your help doing so.

It seem fitting this book come out on April fools day.

For years Diesel was about 25 cents cheaper than regular unleaded. In the past 5 years it has skyrocketed to about 90 cents more than Regular and about 50 cents more than premium...just yesterday Diesel went up to$4.13 a gallon ( an increase of 14 cents) and regular stayed at $3.29.

How has the price of diesel out surpassed unleaded ? Did they start making it differently ? Is there that many more diesel trucks on the road ?

I think we are getting hosed on that deal personally Because when Diesel goes up we all pay more for everything ?


This price gouging needs to end.

I am already making myself ready for the fact that this will probably be Prince Fielder's last season as a Brewer. With him being due for a big payday after this season and his agent is a kind of a prick , I doubt Prince will be a brewer next season.

with that being said The Brewer's don't necessarily need the "big guy".



*we got LaPorta , a up and coming prospect who can play first base or outfield along with     Corey hart and Joe Dillion.

 *Prince looks a lot softer this spring  too

*the money Prince would demand would be better spent on Ryan Braun in my opinion.

I would love to see Prince as a Brewer in 09 but , I am just mentally preparing for a post Prince Brewer team that will do just fine either way.

I seen in a recent gun magazine a few pink revolvers and semi autos . What is this world coming to?

getting shot by any gun would suck and be fatal if hit in the right spot  , but getting shot by a  "pink" gun is sorta like getting beat up by a girl...

here is one example I found not only is it ugly for a gun but the pink is just tacky.

I would like to see a now what? commercial about Brett Favre retiring that would be kinda funny , and if they do make one throw some money my way I thought of it.

Brett Favre retired... Now What ?

For the first time in the 44 year history of Fish Day the parade has been canceled this year due to the very unpopular narrowing of the main streets here in Port Washington. Thousands of people signed petition's 2 years ago when the narrowing idea came up but council members shot the petitions down because of all the state money they will get from this project. They want so bad for Port to be like Cedarburg they are copying their downtown in hope of attracting more tourists.

So they think by making the side walks bigger and having tree's planted every 20 feet will just bring em' in...they are wrong.

As far as those with boats when the revamping of Ports Downtown is complete and they see what a mess it is to navigate in the 6 foot narrower streets. I am sure they will be looking for new places to Dock their boats.

Fish Day is not Fish Day with out the 2 hour parade to kick things off...and if the Fish Day committee thought things out a little bit they could find an alternate route...Holden St. perhaps

I am still going to Fish Day , but it is a shame what is happening to our quaint little fishing village...Truth be told we have not been a quaint fishing village for some time , most businesses downtown fail ( except Taverns and some restaurants ) largely due to the High Rent and over inflated property taxes , and this road project is going to hurt those businesses even more.

Port Washington officials need to WAKE UP!

I am starting to get a little worried because vegetarian diets do not have the proper amino acid combinations for optimum performance.

Vegetarians do not have certain amino acids in their diets, such as Lysine, which is found in eggs and poultry products.  A deficiency in even one amino acid will cause a biochemical imbalance creating health problems, and the amino acid(s) should be replaced for good physical and mental health.


I went on a vegetarian diet for one week on a challenge from a vegan friend of mine...by the 3rd day I craved meat like a smoker craves nicotine. When the week was over I had sausage & eggs for breakfast , 2 dbl. cheeseburgers for lunch and a nice juicy steak for supper about 2 hours after dinner I lifted weights and that is the strongest I have ever felt in my life....the next day my muscle's were full and hard too...When people asked what I was on, I answered simply MEAT.

Prince is a big guy regardless of his new diet but If he continues this all season My money is on Braun hitting more Homers than Prince.

So for the Brewers sake I hope Prince eats a steak before opening day.
