Some creative ideas this year. link

I always find it interesting they announce the promotions a couple of months before standard single-game tickets go on sale, though.

Some really sweet promos! I bet UCONN has May 11th circled with red roses on her calendar. For all of you fellow over 40 guys, don't be dismayed by all of those kiddie promos. Just walk on in thru the turnstiles sucking your left thumb with your right hand extended out to receive the goods. If they balk, start bawling like a baby and trust me....they will at that point immediately fork over the freebie.

The Porch Flag is a good one.

Yeah I bet they look neat, Booyah, but I don't know if I could erect one of those babies out on the front porch. It kind of has that redneck aire about it....but maybe it's just me? I never put any kind of bumper stickers on the car or anything like that because if you think about it, no matter what it is or what it reads, it darn well is going to offend somebody and that makes your vehicle a prime candidate to get keyed or damaged in some fashion.

That's what grandkids are for Pugs.  I don't force them to hand over the goods, mind you.  We go to toys-r-us and work out a 'buy and trade'.

I'm in for the Red Schoendienst jersey and the Shannon bobblehead (with voice chip!!). Maybe the '26 beer stein and the Musial replica statue.

Great idea, Bling! I'm not quite old enough yet to be a Grand-dad, but that day isn't far off as my daughter is 19 years old. And I'm still unhappy to report that she's still dating that pot smoking lazy bum that she's been hanging around with for the past 3 years. She was the prom queen at her high school, always received excellent grades, never got into any trouble whatsoever....and that's the guy she selected!.....sorry, back to baseball.....kind of a sore subject with me....wish you hadn't brought it up, Bling.

Amazing, Grays! Honestly, you would be hard pressed to find just one Brewer porch flag in the greater Milwaukee area.

Sorry pugs.  I've got 5 kids, including 2 daughters, so you're not telling me anything.  Be happy if she's happy and hope for the best.  The guy kinda sounds like me 40 years ago.  Most of us grow up, eventually.

That's what scares the daylights out of me, Bling!...(joshing). But really, why so many truly lovely young ladies such as my daughter fall for such nimrods remains one of life's greatest mysteries. I thought I had the situation nipped in the bud last summer when I not only banned him from the house, but also imposed a No-fly zone(if you will) 5 block radius surrounding the house. He seemed to respect the sanctions as I knew of no violations all summer. I thought he was gone until I made an unannounced visit to my daughter's dorm this past November. As I was walking up the steps, guess who was waltzing down them? It was not a pretty sight.
