New Public Enemies Posters are Out

Three new posters are out

Side note - Lots of PE Trailer #3 out but they are the same as #1 and #2. HOWEVER - this is a fun one to give you a few memories!

=====================================
So as we all know last weekend was the city wide garage sale and DJ went out looking for baby stuff for Jenny and came back with a trunk load of stuff that cost like a quarter.

She brings everything into the house and is cleaning stuff and looks up and see's this.

Milo is very happy that DJ purchased a special chair for him.

================================

As we all know (2) - it was Wednesday which is golf night and once again we were chased off the course by thunder and lightning and 1.34 inches of rain. I was striking the ball pretty darn good and after three holes I was very very happy. In fact so happy that I was thinking of driving the creek on the 4th hole. My last drive was in the area of 245 yards right down the middle and the creek was only 210.

BUT - I felt that overconfidence is the key to bad scores - course management was the best strategy. So I take out my 3 wood and make the perfect drive tothe front of the creek. SWEET 120 yards to go.

I get to the ball and it's in a very soggy/boggy area but I'm doing SO WELL. I line everything up and as my weight shifts in the back swing I feel myself sinking into the bog, the club is picking up speed as it nears the ball and KAWAP I take a 4 inch divot BENEATH the ball almost breaking my wrists as searing pain flashes up my arm and the ball moves forward 1 foot.

Being the optimist that I am I thank God for the extra foot as I'm now only 119 yards and 2 feet from the hole. SWEET.

I shake off my numbing left wrist and now, accounting for the sinking motion of my body I swing with my 119.67 yard club and the ball sails perfectly through the air landing in the huge trap in front of the green.

SWEET - this is wonderful as I have not had the chance to practice my wet sand play in the rain. What a great opportunity that has presented itself to me. I line everything up with my body a little open and feet firmly into the sand.

KAWAP! The ball clicks off my sand wedge and breaking the sound barrier traverses the green at a height of 3 feet landing somewhere on the other side.

I ask balderdash if he had seen or heard my ball and he points into the distance in a general direction. As luck would have it the ball is right next to a little pine tree, about 2 inches from the trunk ON THE LEFT SIDE.

This is great as I had not had a chance to practice my left handed swing yet this year, what could possibly go wrong. It's yet another opportunity.

So I take out my 3 iron and lining up backwards (for me) get all set and take a mighty swing hoping to move the ball forward towards the green.

The club glides through the air with grace picking up speed and at the moment I'm suppose to feel that sweet click of ball to iron all I feel is . . . . .AIR! WHIFF!!!

DAMN YOU FUCKING BALL!!! My calm demeanor has left the building and because THAT swing worked SO well I immediately take another and move the ball forward. I chip onto the green and take two putts and end up with a 9.

sigh!

We played one more hole where I did well and then lightning flashed and - we're done!

Weather looks GREAT for next week. Perfect grass growing weather coming up!

PECOTA now has the Brewers winning the NL Central with 87 victory's. Cubs 4th, Reds 2nd.

I feel this is more fun then last year. Last year the Brewers were expected to do well. This year no one thought they would be any good. The "smart" sites said they would be AS good as last year. Hitting would be better which would offset a small decline in pitching.

What has happened is that SO FAR their hitting is MUCH better and their pitching as vastly improved. They lead the majors in Quality Starts and their bullpen is doing GREAT.

If Craig Counsell can continue to hit .385 as he has done in the last 20 games it would be great. The Crew have an On Base Pct of .371 in the last 20 (compared to the upcoming St. Louis series who have an OBP of .318) The WORST regular player is Hart hitting .260 in the last 20 games.

The Brewers have interleague games coming up soon and have replaced Nelson with Gamal. Macha says ""This kid is probably our best prospect. I don’t think the plan is to have him sitting on the bench."

OH - for Home Run freaks - Fielders 2nd HR Tuesday went 435 feet, the 4th longest HR this year for the Brewers. His HR on May 6th went 457. But what is interesting is that it reached an apex of 164 feet above the ground. Fielder also has the LOWEST HR of the year on April 25th which at it's peak reached 44 feet.

And just carrying this a little farther. Weeks HR on Tuesday, 425 feet with a height of 77 feet - A ROCKET!

Gallardo's HR's were 421 and 413 feet. WOW!

Nuff said.
