Come Meet Us (and More Important/Interesting People) at a Special Miller Park Event!

By: Big Rygg 

I teased this a bit on Twitter (http://twitter.com/BrewerNation) the other day, but the official announcement can now be made!
Have you been trying to pick out a date to attend a Brewers game at Miller Park this spring but haven’t been able to decide? Well allow me to make that decision MUCH easier for you!
On Saturday, May 14, 2011 there will be a special event happening at Miller Park prior to the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. You’ll have the opportunity to meet Brewers Assistant General Manager Gord Ash, WTMJ radio personality and Milwaukee’s favorite baseball daughter Trenni Kusnierek, and SI.com’s Injury Expert Will Carroll who authors the Under The Knife column.
Also, some of the top Milwaukee Brewers bloggers will be joining in the fun and festivities! South Side Rob and I will be there along with members of a handful of other Brewers blog sites!
All of the details can be found by following the link below but it should be an amazing time at a very special event that doesn’t exactly happen at Miller Park too often.
Credit needs to be be given where due, so let me point out that Will Carroll was the driving force behind getting this all set up. He mentioned on Twitter that he was looking to do a bit of summer baseball touring and asked if any bloggers of individual teams would like to assist him. I was the only person from Milwaukee to reach out and we began to set up details for the event.
Will got Gord to agree to come and speak and then reached out to Trenni as well. I was to be the main motivator behind getting people to come. I know that the Brewer Nation is strong and will fill this event up in no time!
That is to point out that space is limited for this unique opportunity. So enough with the reading already! Get over to the website and purchase your opportunity right now!
The best part is that you can get into this event whether you have tickets for the game that afternoon yet or not! Just make sure you select the appropriate option when ordering your tickets.
So come be a part of the fun! Again, space is limited so secure your opportunity right away!!
(And no, there is no financial gain in this for me. Just the same chance as you to meet the celebrity types and also to meet more members of the Brewer Nation!)

Brewer Nation To Start Roto League !!!

by South Side Rob

I’m leaving town and will be back on Monday to give as many details as I can jot down at that time.

What I do know is that this will be a rotisserie league and NOT a fantasy league. Also, once your team is selected, that’s it. There will be no trades or free-agent moves made. This is commonly known as “BUY AND DIE”. The cost to play will be low (see below) so nobody will have to miss a car payment in order to play. There are some details to be worked out such as where we will auction as this has to be a “live” auction and cannot be done online so readers in the Milwaukee area are probably our only candidates to join us (Sorry about that).

I’d like this to be National League teams only. If we get more than 10 entries, then we’ll consider a mixed league. It will be a traditional rotisserie league with a few wrinkles that will make it very fun for the casual baseball fan as well as die hard baseball fans. This will also be an auction draft and the draft order will consist of selecting a team out of a hat and going down the entire roster so there will be no draft order and there is no way to determine which teams will be auctioned off first or last. Stats will accumulate on June 1st till the end of the regular season. All stats accumulated prior to June 1st will NOT COUNT. If we have just a few teams, we will take a vote to eliminate a few National League teams to keep from every team having All-Star caliber rosters. The stats we’ll track will be the traditional 5X5 which is runs scored, home runs, runs batted in, steals, and batting average for hitters and Wins, saves, strikeouts, earned run average, and WHIP (walks + hits / innings pitched). We’ll use either $260 or $280 auction dollars but I’m thinking we’ll only charge $50 to play that will be due on the day of the auction (no exceptions).

Stay tuned for my Monday article. Suggestions will also be welcome. Readers of the Brewer Nation are all invited to join us. If we get more than 16 people interested, then, we’ll have to do some sort of first come, first in basis. Again, stay tuned as I discuss this with Big Rygg and Cary as to how we’ll proceed…
