Daily Brew 9/21

It was a pretty big night last night, and I'm not talking about sports. Last night featured a pretty big matchup between the Brewers and Cubs, but that's where my sports interest ended.

Yeah, lets just say I got a lot of mileage out of the DVR, brought to you by Charter (just like my paycheck) as we saw the series premiere of My name is Earl, the season premier of Nip/Tuck, and how could we forget The Real World?

Toss in a quick game of Madden, and a trip to two different grocery stores (don't ask) and my night was pretty full.

All in all, I was slightly disappointed with the evening. The positives were the Brewers win, and My name is Earl. I liked the show, but it may be due to the fact that I'm a fan of Jason Lee.

It wasn't overly funning, and I didn't walk away saying "Wow, that show was great" but I liked the premise of it, and it held my attention.

As stated earlier, the crew picked up a big win over the rival Cubs in their quest for .500. Doug Davis took the mound and struck out 10, but shockingly picked up the win. I think he's now 1-2 in his last 49 starts.

Editors note here, please, PLEASE, fire Sutton, and Brainerd. Schroeder is pretty bad too, if he goes I have no problem, if he stays he's got one year to prove himself. These guys bring nothign to the broadcast, what so ever. All Sutton does is talk, and all of it is pointless, wrong, annoying or irrelavent.

Dear Darron,

You are a televison play-by-play man, television not radio. YOU DO NOT NEED TO MINDLESSLY FILL THE ENTIRE BROADCAST WITH SPOKEN WORDS WHEN YOU ARE ON TV, AGAIN THIS IS NOT RADIO!

Please stop saying, "Get some runs," stop yelling when average plays happen, stop metioning Leinnekugels, and stop overhyping all Brewers players.

I really don't care to know if people in the bucket head section feel Howie Long would be a good fit, or if he is invited to the Buckhead Brigade section. I change the channel everytime a certain lanky blonde annoying guy comes on the screen.

Thanks,

All of Southeast Wisconsin

P.S. Stop trying to give us baseball advice, why would we want to take advice from a guy who has pitching in his genes and yet couldn't even hack it as a AA pitcher, and I know this doesn't fall on you, but tell your boss to stop with the "Bill's Grill" segments.

That's it for now.



Anyway, I though Nip/Tuck was kind of disappointing. They fooled my by having the whole funeral setup and making me believe that the carver actually killed Christian. So it started out good with that, but then they wasted the entire episode on removing the huge lady from her house, and eventually her death. I really didnt' need to see her on screen for an hour, no offense.

Lastly, the Real World is starting to get real annoying and borderline unwatchable. Johanna got arrested, Wes got drunk, and Melinda and Danny continued this three week in the making fall out.

Oh my god, I really wanted to kill myself while hangliding while watching that last night. Danny wants his space, Melinda loves Danny, Danny doesn't want to hurt Melinda, Melinda gives him his space, Danny meets other girls, Melinda hates Danny.

Ohh my god, I can't take it. I'm not in college anymore, I can't take this soap opera saga. The best thing that came of the episode was the preview for next week. Let's just say Wes is pulling off the crazy-scorned-love sick-psycho-stalker role perfectly.

Man, I gotta recoup. Hasta manana.
