I hope you delivered his famous line....."Get up...Get up....get outta here....gone!" As you tossed his paper over the roof?
i think it was too early in his broadcasting career for me to pick up on that. he started his reign as the brewers play-by-play guy in 1971, which is about the same time i started delivering papers.
well, he was a lousy tipper.and you want your 2 dollars
You had been late delivering the paper as was usual on that mid summer morning. Tired from the previous day of Red Rover and a late night game of Ghosts in the Graveyard, you pedaled hurriedly along your route as you knew the old grumpy man was already outside waiting for you. Not wanting to hear him grump at you again or chance riding on his grass again, you tossed the paper high over your shoulder towards his house from across the street and unknowing yelled, get up, get up, get outta here as it crested high above the sleepy neighborhood street and into his front yard.
he made me promise to never tell anyone that story. lol.
Ernest Hemingway has NOTHING on you, brother.
The way they started the season, with virtually NO run support or offense to speak of, I certainly did not see this coming then. Further credence to the old yarn that it's a long season.
(With apologies to Spiro)
Explain the magic 10 thingy. 10 W from remaining games?
I will ignore the Cardinals for the moment as they are mathematically still eligible. Any combination of 10 wins or 10 Reds losses and the Brewers win the division. If the Brewers win 1 more game, the Reds cannot lose 9 for instance to win the title. If the Brewers go 10-10 over the last 20 games, they win the division even if Cincinnati runs the table.
Good explanation - it's a lot more easy to let someone else track that stuff. Those numbers are just too small to pique my curiosity. Shoot, just win 'em all right?
Woodie and Burnes need to regain their dominance for this thing to work.
Slick as puke on a tile floor. That's what I always say ... sometimes.
Thanks. I see, So basically the countdown is on. Well that sounds like they are in impressive standing.
-- yeah, guys throwing a no-hitter tend to look that way I would think. 
this is definitely spoken like a true brewers fan - how many can we lose? lol I am only mildly interested considering history. the dodgers and giants loom large and I just get that old feeling that the trophy case remains empty in amfam town. Very Vikqueen like.
I would say yours is spoken like a mildly interested fan.
I will hold you to this...reg season means zero...playoffs and world series is where the rubber hits the road. I love Counsel...and I would love to see it happen, I just think the road is very rocky to get there.
What's wrong with being optimistic? Brewers started poorly but have been getting better throughout the season. They are right now the hottest team in baseball. Other teams are worried about facing the Brewers in the playoffs. Does that mean they will win the WS? No, but this may be there best chance in the last 40 years. Why not get excited?
I think my favorite uekerism is when you hear Uecker: "it's hit hard to left (more excitedly) it's GOING . . . ITS . . . (normal speaking voice) caught at the wall.
Hold me to what, stating facts?
