AWA because that’s what we had in the upper Midwest.

I take back my earlier prediction that the Rays would fade and lose in a playoff tie breaker play in game.


There’s no game 163 anymore. MLB got rid of that possibility and head to head regular season games are used as a tiebreaker.

Went there in the summer of 2005. I’m glad to hear that it’s improved since then. It wasn’t “bad” two decades ago but I’ve also heard that it is an area that is much better now. After the game I bought a CD from a street musician. An elderly black dude with an acoustic guitar singing the blues. I lost that CD in one of my moves and can’t recall the guy’s name but it was good stuff.

Crazy baseball stat

Posted by 32footsteps on 8/27/26 at 8:49 pm
The Milwaukee Brewers this year are the first team in that stat tracking era to have more than 1000 pitches exceeding 100 miles per hour.

Jacob Misiorowski has over 930 of those pitches this year,
For hiccups eat a spoonful or two of peanut butter. It’s the only thing I’ve ever found that consistently gets rid of them.
Maybe not dumbest but one of the most bizarre was Vince Coleman and the tarp at Busch Stadium.
The line for Miz looks pretty good but that outing was a bit below average compared to what we’ve seen out of him this year. The control issues were a bit unlike him and his velo was down. Just one pitch over 101. I expected him to crank it up since Sale was as on the mound for the Braves.
The award is Misiorowski’s to lose at this point in time. He had the complete game one hit Maddux in June. He’s touching 105mph, his Cy Young moment came on Saturday when he struck out both Freeman and Ohtani on 7 pitches with the bases loaded and overall he wasn’t locked in during that start. He’s getting all the attention as his starts have become must see TV. That’s who will get the votes.

A no hitter with him is almost inevitable at this point.

The state fair is in Milwaukee, so about the only place you could have this type of crowd and behavior.


Even Dane County locked their fair down a few years ago with curfews, extra security, and requiring anyone 18 or younger to be accompanied by an adult. I’ve never been to that one and never will be.

Dodge County has their fair this week. I guarantee that people will be carrying there.

Stevie Ray Vaughn’s last concert.
That was a moment for him in the 5th but he didn’t have his best stuff yesterday. Getting a series split in LA without Pratt, Turang, and Frelick is a bigger deal than most are saying. Murphy is just throwing darts at a roster for his lineups.

….and yet those who produce cheese vote overwhelmingly against this socialist crap.

Madison and Milwaukee are not “real” Wisconsin. Without those two shitholes the state would be deep, deep red.

Well, if true, that was a stupid plan.


Not really. Hong doesn’t do much for the down ballot candidates. Crowley can. I don’t know if he will but his ceiling in carrying those dem candidates across the finish line is much higher than Hong’s.

So instead of a Madison communist the rest of the state outside of Dane and Milwaukee counties are given the option of voting for a tongue tied black Milwaukee liberal.

311,446 voted for this crazy woman.


I was one of them. As I stated on this board a week or so ago, she was the most beatable Democrat. Wisconsin has an open primary. As stated in the other thread about this race, there weren’t too many very few contested GOP primaries. Her total vote count was bolstered by those of us who crossed over and voted for her yesterday and would not be voting for her in November.

Dang, Dems really show up for their primary. They have almost double the votes of the GOP


There weren’t too many contested GOP primaries other than a few county races. Many didn’t feel the need to go and vote because the governor nominee was a foregone conclusion.

This is an open primary state. Many who I know voted in the DEM primary who will not vote for them in the general.

The turnout totals and vote tallies in the deep red counties where nothing was contested will be interesting. At 5:30 last night I was voter #87 in my deep red township. That turnout is ridiculously low but there was nothing contested on the GOP side to drive turnout up.

Unlikely that anything found will benefit Hong. Crowley was the establishment choice. If anything, shenanigans would benefit Crowley and not Hong.

Didn't see admit to mental issues and being on prescription drugs for it?


She admitted to self harm (cutting), she was prescribed lithium, and I believe she was hospitalized for mental illness.

The guy who “won” has said he’s in favor of data centers. Hong was not. Her initial surge in popularity came off the back of her being against them.

Already some weird reports in a few areas about absentee ballots not being recorded or data being transferred incorrectly so they had to be scanned a second time. That’s why I put “won” in parentheses above.

Alas…..they’ll all rally behind the candidate with a “D” behind their name and it’ll be closer than it should be in November.


I really don’t give two shits about the baseball hall of fame and what it takes to get inducted but the way CC Sabathia dragged Milwaukee into the post season in 2008 was insane. No one else could’ve done that and those few months he was with the Brewers were the most unbelievable few months I’ve ever seen out of a pitcher.
He tries harder at being a man than Richard Simmons tried at not being gay.
