How far is the park from Maders? Just made a reservation there

Yes of course! Like they say you know yr in Wisconsin just look for the Illinois license plates

i think I did hear that come to think of it, it used to be same week as Taste IIRC, I think they seem to break attendance records every year

Got tix for Sat game, does anyone know if the food vendors accept cash or just plastic?

I think summerfest is over, FWIW the Milwaukee Zoo is outstanding. The historic THird Ward is worth checking out for a few beers. Gotta love those cheeseheads ! Of course they LOVE to take Flatlanders money

The Beer City is one of my fav cities, always something to do. Have fun!!!!

Wow Houston sure has our number this yr, not good if you believe the WS road runs thru Houston.....

IIRC both sides have won 3 World Series now, but the tiebreaker goes to the Sox as they defeated the cubs the one time they played eachother

In fact with some exceptions, I'd say most of my cub fans are actually pretty nice people. Its their team that sucks!!

Agreed, I'm sure there are some decent ones, the last one I had I swear printed my rehab routine off of google

I'm more interested in a W than a HR

Let the Tyler Neslony era begin!!?

Are we in 1st place because of Tony or despite him?

Sounds like our boys

Isnt Wrigley Spearmint Gum Field the orginal corporate named park? (I know it was named after the family, not the product but sounds good!)

Very pleased w the win, we are beating up on the teams we should beat, then I think the Houston series?, but hey a W is a W

Danny Wright

Kind of sums up my feelings too, every time I watch I always think Well who's going on the list today?

So the Sept 19 date will work to our advantage assuming the stars align....:)

But dont they have to be on the MLB roster by such and such a date to qualify for post season?

So lets assume we grind the 3 key injuries out and take the division, they return say Mid August, is there enough of the season in Charlotte to allow them some rehab starts? IIRC they are done shortly after Sept 1 correct?

Good point, at my age of 61 I use strictly dumbells instead of barbells for bench, even those can have not so good end result

Ive been in the gym biz since 1988 and I gotta say that sometimes having the collars on a barbell can be the worst thing. I can attest its a sicking feeling to be stuck under a heavy load and no one around to help

Last yr a guy at the gym started yelling HELP and he was stuck under the bench press about 300LBS, I went running over to help and guess what I pulled a hammy trying to get the bar off his chest, what a cluster that was, but my Dr told me NO lifting for 2 months as the reoccurance rate for hammys was high without strict adherence so this is 100% truth

As hopeful as I was he wasnt a flash in the pan, (which I hope he still isnt) I really like the guy and hope he can stick around at least until the AL figures him out
