Phillies Series thread

Phillies were scared.

Rocky stuck in traffic?

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeet, thumbs are overrated.

Bullpen needs to hang on to this one. Decent start by Sly Ky.

Um, Braun.

7 RBI's for Braun today, gotta like that!!!!

trying to remember if a Brewer ever has had a 4 home run game, I want to say Geoff Jenkins, but not sure

 

Edit: nope

5-2. Who knew???

Just imagine the numbers Braun would have put up if he wasn't juicing all those years.

I remember my Dad telling me about I think Joe Adcock doing it with the Braves once EKB, but Im not sure.

Yup. Hit four.

 

I have bored you all with this many times, but my hobby is collecting each and every Milwaukee Brave baseball card issued between 1953-1965.

 

Sounds simple, but bear in mind there were tons of "specialty" cards issued by the likes of Bowman, Johnston Cookies, Lake to Lake Dairy, Salada Tea, Spic n' Span, Red Man Tobacco, Wilson Franks, Red Heart Dog Food, etc.

 

I'm about 98 percent complete. Gotta figure out how to buy a Hank Aaaron rookie card ($500 ish) without my wife killing me.

 

We need to talk BK. Dont have the card but I collect the memrobilia like it's gold. Braves, Packers, etc. Bought a 1957 exact replica Hank jersey this year from Mitchell and Ness. It's wool and and has the zipper instead of buttons just like the original. Uncomfortable as all hell, but still a treasure. I have no idea how players wore those. I of course try to hide all of these purchases from my wife as well. I'll post some pics of my basement if I ever learn how to do it.

Would love to see them! Constant battle to get "The wife" to understand my love for sports memorabilia.....I did get permission for what we call the "Bobblehead" room.

 

Just bought a set of these 1968 (8) Mobil prints (you old guys will remember that Mobil gas stations gave these out with the purchase of a tank of gas). Gonna frame 'em all and put them in my retirement house.

 

Man the Hebrew Hammer was in full effect today and the bats unloaded on the Phils

4-0 on the road to start the year wow

 

  cool, but what doll is that in front of the packer helmet?

 

 

 

You know, I actually had a Joey Fatone bobble head before I lost him in one of my wife's purges.

Nice stuff. I'll play around tomorrow and see if I can get some stuff posted on here. It would make me sick to find out how much I've spent on autographed photos.

I have a set of these prints from when I was young from Mobil oil. Would you mind telling me how much these sell for now as I am thinking of getting rid of these.

 

Thanks

Hey jcall.

 

I just paid $60 for the set of 8 on EBay. I thought it was a pretty good deal as they are in their original envelopes.

 

Hope you weren't hoping to get rich on them!

       
       


For the life of me, I can't stop my lance bass bobble head from bobbing up and down.

I had some of these once, I was probably about 8-9 years old.  I wonder what ever happened to them.

 

Another funny story. One of my grade school/high school friends just had a sister die. No that part is not funny. Anyway he has to clean out her house as he is the only surviving close relative. We were down there tonight and I was telling him how jealous I was of him having a Packer leather and wool jacket he had won as a Ford Punt Pass & Kick local winner. So he tells me he found his high school lettermans jacket in a closet and goes to get it to show me. Unknown to him his sister had saved the PP &K jacket too but it was hanging behind the lettermans jacket where he couldn't see it. He had won it when he was in the 3rd grade, about 1965. I told him to get in touch with the Packer HOF to see if they would be interested. It has the old Packer logo of the guy kicking a football.

How much for the creepy Santa thing in the corner?

 

Nice job by Loshe battling a small zone and not having his best stuff today.  Wed is a very winnable game and we probably need to win it in order to take the series.  Lee vs Estrada Thursday. 

Braun channeling the boos

hmmm.. maybe we should boo him at home too

 

the Boo Crew.

 

 

seems like its an annual theme that the Brewers get off to a hot start and occupy first place before June every year

That's still better than being the Cubs and being mathematically eliminated by early May every year since 1945.

June 1, 2013.  21-33, 5th place

June 1, 2012.  23-29, 3rd place

June 1, 2011.  30-26, 2nd place (13-14 in April)

June 1, 2010.  21-31, 5th place

 

Slow starts have killed this team. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If life is fair, the Crew puts up a 10 spot for Garza tonight.

Damn stats.  Truth trumps perception again.

And Garza on pace to give up 27.

Wallop! Well, only got to 9 tonight 

 

5-0 on the road is a nice start

Love the plant in the bobblehead room BK.  Its perfect.

It's pot.

 

Anticipating legalization and starting a home based business..

At this rate, we may start needing individual game threads again.

Barring the ever possible Cubs collapse, we may be looking at your first place all by themselves Milwaukee Brewers. That and pending the SF game, tied for the best record in baseball. All of this and it's already April 9th. If MLB were to implement the NFL's 16 game schedule, the Brewers would be in outstanding post season position.

Pretty impressive display of hitting so far. After a bad series to start, they are completely crushing the ball, now.

Defense a little shaky of late though. Clean it up, Ron...
