Baseball in January? It happens with Brewers On Deck!

You know what it's like to see a kid in a candy store and you tell him or her to just go crazy and they can have whatever they want? Well, send a big kid (i.e. Me!) into my equivalent (i.e. something to do with sports) and you're bound to see a similar look on my face.
That's what to expect Sunday when I get a chance to hit up Brewers On Deck, the Brewers annual fan fest. Mapping out which players I go see, what events to take part in and how much money I'll spend (likely too much). Yes it is January, but I've become a baseball nerd and I'm thinking Sunday will be one of those days where I'm in hog heaven, rolling around in my proverbial mud.
Everything looks to be finalized as far as festivities and I'm thinking I NEED to get two things while I'm there. First is an autograph and a photo with Casey McGehee. If you've followed this blog during its first almost seven months of existence, he has become my favorite player on the team not named Ryan or Prince. So that is a must. And, of course, on the other side of the spectrum is Jody (Fucking) Gerut. Yeah, get ready to get fucked with asshole (sorry kids). But I didn't think it was possible to hate one of your team's players. That was until this worthless tool came to town. I can't really say many good things about him. So I'm going to take my mother's advice and not say anything at all.
Of course the Ryan Brauns, Prince Fielders and Robin Younts are on my "hopefuls" for autograph signings, they are the faces of the franchise. And I'm a smart enough fan to also have Mitch Stetter and John Axford on the list. Heck, I need party plans for Sunday night. The last time I saw Axford sign his name, it was in about 14 inch letters on some girls back. Hahahahaha. Highlight of the night. Oh, and I can't forget a shoutout to the Co-President of the Casey McGehee fan club, yes El Rog will be in attendance, as well! Can't wait!


Sunday's other big sporting event is the NFL Pro Bowl and to be honest I couldn't care less. The Bears had one player voted in to start the game in Lance Briggs, but he pulled out. I think every other player that matters pulled out, too. That's probably why Johnny Knox made it into the game.
The cool thing about the game is that the Super Bowl teams will be making their appearance at the game in some capacity. That should be cool to have that aspect of the game and the buildup to the big game.
I'd make a prediction, but I really don't care. I guess I'm a Bears fan so I'll root for the NFC. Do what you like with that. Just don't gamble with it...


Word came out today that Dustin Diamond, yes Screech from Saved by the Bell, put out his book "Behind the Bell" and has some pretty start accusations. I'll let you read the 11 biggest o them, here. But I'm still more excited at the possibility of the Saved by the Bell reunion. Does anyone know if this is still happening? It would be so funny and good with everyone but Screech there. MAKE IT HAPPEN!


I'm not a real big American Idol fan, but when one of my favorites that I've made sure to publicize here on "The Way" is on as a guest judge and is actually A) Hot and B) Awesome, it's worth a watch. Katy Perry herself was on and almost kick started a cat fight. Yeah, it would have been good. Check the short video.

Keeping on the awesome ways tangent, Chelsea Handler is the focus of today's Nussie Hunter. Is there another female comedian more funny? Maybe Sarah Silverman, but even she's fallen off lately. I think Chelsea is super hot and very funny. If you haven't seen her show, you need to! There is more than what's below, here. Enjoy!

Big Ben relocates to Oakland; Like a broken Liberty Bell

First, let me just voice my sigh of relief. Now that that's out of the way, let me first ask what the heck the Oakland A's are doing signing Ben Sheets? They had a payroll of $40 million before yesterday, $10 million of which was to washed up third baseman Eric Chavez. So putting Ben Sheets in the mix means another $10 million down the drain. I'm also hearing Oakland is in the mix for Johnny Damon who got hung out to dry by the Yankees.
As a Brewers fan I can honestly say I didn't see the Brewers signing him. For the last few year Brewers fans subjected themselves to "Sheets Watch" just waiting for him to go down with another injury.
That is all I can think about for the A's and their fans. I followed Trenni Kusnerick's Twitter when he threw for scouts a few weeks ago and the biggest thing I can take out of that is that he had 14 months rest. It sounds like a punchline, but it's the truth. The guy just can't go a full season. He's not an athlete, he's a pitcher. But I guess that's the beauty of baseball.
On the outside chance Sheets makes it to the All-Star break healthy, the As could have a bargaining chip to deal for prospects and a contender will take a chance to get a potential Ace. I'll say Benny has great stuff but given his injury history, I don't see how you can bank on him to be your guy.
Let's just hope he doesn't end up on the Cubs or Cards come August!


There was a big upset lat night in college basketball when unranked South Carolina took down No. 1 Kentucky. You've probably read all about it if you care. I'm more impressed with the Game Cocks faithful and their ability to rush the court. Awesome visuals!


Now we're not turning this into a tech blog, but Apple did debut the iPad today. First off, doesn't Steve Jobs look like a midget holding an iPhone there? Haha. Yeah, Sorry to all midgets reading. I do have a couple links for you to check out. First off, what is up with that iPad name? I think girls might take that the wrong way. Here's the tech nerd's take on the new tablet computer.

The Nussie Hunter was checking out the big Kentucky game last night and couldn't stop thinking about one of their most famous fans. That's the first thing he thought of after the loss. Making sure Ashley Judd was OK. Well, I'm pretty sure she still looks OK. Take a look at these, then check below. It will be OK Ashley! Haha.
