I like Papa Murphy's De-Lite pizza. A slice of the Chicken Bacon Artichoke De-Lite pizza has only 180 calories and 9 grams of fat.

[Thurston Fluff]

TracyThom I took your advice and tried the Chicken bacon artichoke pizza. Normally I am not a fan of Papa Murphy but you were right. It was the best I've had from them by a long shot and pretty good overall.

you know it's getting late and definitely time for bed when you come back to brewerfan after a long stretch of time and there aren't any new posts.

I think our biggest gaps between posts are:

• Late at night US time
• During beautiful spring and summer days
• During Packer games

Pretty quiet here this morning, go figure.

I think I remembered that some people here liked the Puppy Bowl. Although I'm sure most bf.neters will be watching the other game, here's the starting lineup for the PB:

I'm all about the Puppy Bowl and its Kitty Halftime Show. Though Animal Planet shows it 3-4 times on SB Sunday, so watching the puppies need not preclude watching the football.

I love the Puppy Bowl, not because of the actual puppies but because of my dog. I record it and watch it later with her. She doesn't pay much attention to it at first but when I point to the dogs she runs at the TV and tries stands up against the TV stand to try and play with the puppies.

I can't think of where else to put this, since this doesn't deserve its own thread.

 

Are the Marlins the only team to get a new stadium next year?

Edit: Next year being 2012

[chrisisoutrunning]

According to wikipedia, yes.

 

Future MLB Stadiums

[trwi7]

Wow. 32,000 capacity for the proposed stadium for the A's?

[TooLiveBrew]

According to wikipedia, yes.

From that link, I can only see the Marlins' stadium as being set for 2012. Cisco Field (A's) is set for '15.

I asked if the Marlins are the only team to get a new stadium. The answer (according to Wikipedia) is yes. Thanks Chris.

Technically, I think 2015 is only a proposed date for the A's new ballpark. Doesn't sound like anything is set in stone yet.

At On Deck, they were recording a new in/pre game commercial. They wanted you to say what you liked about MP and then cheer at the end. We asked the guy in charge, and he's 90 percent sure any videos displayed on the old board will not be displayed on the new board. He said he doesn't think the dimensions are the same, and that the resolution will make old videos look horrible on the new board.

 

This may mean we will never see the Designated Driver video again!

(oops, wrong website)

 

Backstory: The designated driver video that has been shown before games at MP for several years now featured Robin19 at its very end...with someone who's now an ex. Nice (if unintentional) reminder, especially game after game after game.

 

There may be a slight silver lining in that Robin19's season seats are located where I'd think it would be difficult to see the videoboard, but from our seats we have a clear view, and I sighed for Robin19 and his current S.O., game after game after game.

Hopefully they can upconvert the classic "Two Fisted Slopper" video, though.

Unfortunately (actually fortunately), I can see the scoreboard from my seats and can't wait to check it out.

It's a little strange, being the only registered user online at Brewerfan. It's only not surprising, given what else is going on.

[GAME05]

i've always thought it would be nice to have the DH in both leagues at the Minor League level. starting pitchers learning how to hit .080 in the Majors isn't as valuable as all the extra at-bats it would give to developing position players. but of course pitchers need to learn how to hit, too, so i think the decision of a DH or pitcher hitting should be the decision of the Home Team before the game starts.

I was online, but my bedtime is 9pm. You stay up too late for me Hawing.

 

That was one of the best half time shows ever, surrounded by one of the worst games ever.

I know discussions about the Packers and football belong in the Lambeauleap forum, but really Robin19?!? I don't know how you could say that was one of the wost games ever?

A while back we found out one of the best teenagers ever to work for us was moving on. I was happy for her but it sucked to lose her. Now we hired a new 19 year old girl who loves being a gorilla and can sing the entire Monty Python Lumber Jack song. Sometimes life hands you nice little surprises.

[pitchleague]

that's hilarious! I guess, Congratulations!
