The Green Bay Indians of Milwaukee

by Rev Halofan on Apr 9, 2007 11:29 AM PDT in News Comment 44 comments

Scratch that, the Halos are on a plane ... to Milwaukee. The Cream City will be featuring a designated hitter at its park for the first time since old County Stadium was the place and the first Bush Presidency was making blood in the sand seem like Grenada instead of Vietnam.

The Indians are well-rested. Ridiculously rested. They last played part of a game on Friday!

Of course, well-rested could throw hitters off of their timing and cause pitchers to overthrow. This has been known to happen. It probably won't to a degree that the game is severely impacted, but it could be there.

Here are the pitching matchups:
TUE: Santana @ C.C. Sabathia
WED: Saunders @ Jake Westbrook
THU: Moseley @ Jeremy Sowers

Well

This might be good for Santana. Now he won't have to deal with an opposing crowd, so we have a chance to see what he's made of.

This is great

I think all of us here would've preferred them to play at the Big A, but this is a good compromise.

The Angels will get play the games, and not have to play doubleheaders later in the year, which can hurt a pitching staff (or lose off days either).

And while we would've loved them to play here, it probably is more fair that they don't. Imagine the outcry from the A's, Rangers and especially Mariners?

this is carp.

you heard me, carp!

should've been at the big A :)

Wish this were a weekend series

I'd probably be able to get up there for a game.

You gotta just leave work early

take that 10 dollar shuttle bus and report live from the game...

by Rev Halofan on Apr 9, 2007 12:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

you must go.

i'm sitting in Phoenix, thinking how nice it'd be to catch a game there, but its out of the question.

if you're in Chicago, you must go.

Hey, some of us have jobs

We may not have to do anything at those jobs, but we still need to show up.

Anyway, I'm working on it.

understood

but along with jobs comes "sick days".

Mariners made their bed

"Imagine the outcry from the A's, Rangers and especially Mariners?"

A's and Rangers I understand, but the Mariners waited until they were 1 strike away from an official game loss before they started crying about field conditions.

They deserve to mess up their rotation with a quadruple header wherever Cleveland wants to play them.

If I went to war and could only take one weapon, it would be an HK47.

Will the Indians still be doing their promotions?

Check out the Indians schedule and see what tonight give away was supposed to be

OK, Ok, I'll end the suspense. Tonight's game was supposed to be:

April 10 vs. Los Angeles - 7:05 PM

It is way overdue Arte. #5 needs to be retired by the Angels.

by BrianDowningFan on Apr 9, 2007 12:31 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I like how they use a movie from the 80's

for their promotions...

We use real heroes! Tim Salmon night for example. You don't see us pulling out Christopher Lloyd dolls for Angels in the Outfield night!

Serrano

Dude used to come and play at Alta Dena golf course all the time when I used to work there. Good guy. Not a bad golfer (though I'm pretty sure I beat him, but that's because I'm a stick).

I mean Altadena

Not sure why I broke that into two words. Must be thinking of milk or something.

It was always hard

for me to watch 24 without thinking of him as the guy cradling the thought-to-be-dead bird in the outfield. Hard to take a president serious that way.

Just "a movie from the 80's?"

This is a cult classic.

I'm trying to book my flight to get me some of those glasses.

Don't get me wrong...

I love this movie. Anytime it's on TV I will drop everything to watch it.

Sausage Races....I say they dig up Bob Ueker (however you spell it) and we can get some great quotes.

PER MSNBC.COM

"Players packed Monday for an evening flight to Milwaukee, where the Brewers will sell tickets for $10 each, with seating limited to the field and loge levels."

".. and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball."

by ladybug on Apr 9, 2007 3:36 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Key word

there is "limited." I'm sure Brewers fans will be storming the gates to see that one!

they don't think there will be much

in the way of attendance. I sure wish Wisconsin was closer. Have you seen pics of the stadium in Cleveland? Looks like a giant snowball

Idea

Shouldn't they give out a bunch of free tickets to schools, little leagues and youth groups, to try to put more seats in the stands?

The more empty the stands are, it could get kind of embarassing.

by ligtreb on Apr 9, 2007 3:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

great in theory, but

but they'd run into the same problem we would have had in anaheim -- inability to have a safe amount of ushers, concessionaires, security, ticket takers, etc. by effectively limiting attendance to the lower level (they said during the ESPN game tonight that about 4,000 tickets had been sold for tomorrow night), they'll be able to pull this off on a day's notice. not the best solution, i agree, but from an operations standpoint, it makes perfect sense.

and anyway, if they get 5,000, it'll still be more than Olympic Stadium in Montreal used to get near the end ;-)
