Pee Your Pants For The Brewers Home!

Monday, June 11, 2007 - We've Got a Hero

Thank goodness for Rich Man's Brett Favre. He simply had had enough and enforced his will with a 3-run dong. Is this going to turn the tide? Will this be the proverbial straw that breaks the donkey's back (in this instance the donkey referred to represents the losing ways of the Crew)? Who would win in a handsome contest- Jenkins, JJ, or Mench's head?

Sunday, June 10, 2007 - Aaack!

I feel like Cathy after going to the mall. "I went to the mall and tried on 35 swimsuits!! My knees look just like my mother's!!" How could Coco do that? I don't even know what to say. Maybe that's what we need to do then, get married- just like Cathy.

Saturday, June 9, 2007 - Frown

And the tough stretch continues. I think it's time for Gabe Gross to tell another story. As a reminder of the good times so long ago Andrew from Chicago recounts Uecker's call in 1981, "The arm is back here he comes 1-2. Swing and a miss! Goodbye Detroit, Hello New York!"

Friday, June 8, 2007 - Cheers to You Guys

Today is Pledge Appreciation Day and the PYPFTB team wants to tip our collective hat to two outstanding members of our growing community. Stephanie has been a staunch supporter on the comments section and she made the very first order from the PYPFTB company store.

Steve has also been a regular on the comments board and is most recent response to the 12 year-old wreaking havoc on the comments nearly brought a tear to my eye, "All you Cub fans try to ruin everything. Can't stand anyone else to be happy or have fun since you all are so miserable. The secret though, is this...I know deep down you think this site is cool, and you wanna be a Brewer fan, or you wouldn't come on here. Talk all the smack you want, but you know its true. I would NEVER go to a Cubs site....cuz I truly hate em." Well said Steve, well said.

Thursday, June 7, 2007 - Store Opens

The store has finally opened. Peruse the store and wrap yourself up in some fine PYPFTB gear. There's even a very special PYPFTB wristband that you can wear as a gentle reminder of your pledge and the 24 years of futility we will soon overcome.

And thank goodness the Cubs are out of town. There's been some nastiness on the message boards, but it's pretty clear the more classy and sensible Brewers fans came on top of most arguments.

Wednesday, June 6, 2007 - I'm Cuckoo for Francis (Cordero)

Coco really came through for us, AGAIN, last night. What a guy. Did you know Francis enjoys playing dominos AND billiards? It's true! One time I was watching the Dominos world championships on Espn2. There were four guys playing so relaxed as if they were on a porch in those summer folding chairs and the commentators were having a tough time trying to sound excited. This was the championship match, so supposedly the very best players in the world, and in one of the final plays a guy did not make a move that would have won the game 100%. The announcers were dumbfounded, but tried to play it off like it was part of his strategy when it was really just an incredibly dumb mistake. Any legitimacy the Dominos World Championships once had immediately crumbled as the half-asleep players kept playing obliviously. Coco naturally would have played lights out- no mistakes.

Tuesday, June 5, 2007 - Prince is King (too obvious)

Congratulations to the Prince for being named May's National League Player of the Month. What a stud batting .321 with 13 dongs and 28 rbis in May. I hope we can keep this guy in a blue uniform his whole career. He backed it up by hitting his 20th dong yesterday. Unfortunately it wasn't enough as we squandered some early bases-loaded opportunities.

PS- Cubs fans- go home.

Monday, June 4, 2007 - The Ol' Ball and Chain

Great series against those "Save up to win the World Series every 6 years" Marlins. Now bring on the Cubs. I'm hoping we can push them over the edge and they will completely implode. There's no way I'm missing this series even if my girlfriend will get a little upset with me for not focusing* on her stories. #5214 Tony knows what I'm talking about, "My girlfriend gets mad at me for watching the game and not paying enough attention to her." That's the price you have to pay sometimes- and if the Brewers win (even if they don't)- it's well worth it.

*not listening at all. Some stories actually have zero retention- no recollection at all of even talking to her.

Sunday, June 3, 2007 - Choo Choooooo!

The Brewers got back on the right track today with their first series win in seven series. Sheetsy was unstoppable just like this super awesome steam train called the "Lumberjack." This “4-spot” Steam Locomotive was built in 1916 by the Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. It was purchased September 22, 1926 and was brought to Laona for use in the logging industry. The steam engine pulls two all-steel passenger coach cars, and three cabooses. Fascinating. Any train aficionados out there?

Saturday, June 2, 2007 - Mench's Head Eclipses Sun

#32 Frank from Wausau, aka "The Sau" or "Sau Vegas," gets it right for loving "the cool solar eclipses caused by Mench's head." How did they find a helmet to fit that guy? Mench! MOVE, now! Two-out hits by Mench, Graffanino, and Braun's 2-run dong got the Crew on all cylinders.

The Brewers make me feel so good about myself- like I'm on the right path now and all the choices I've made were leading me to this moment. Contrast this with last week where I was wearing a sad face frown the whole time. How have the Brewers changed your life for the better?

Friday, June 1, 2007 - Corey Holds Key To My Hart (Get It???)

With Corey leading off- good things are happening. Why wouldn't I love him batting leadoff? Look at this guy's moves! I do feel bad for Rickie and his wrist- that's been bothering him his whole career. He can have mine. Seriously- I would gnaw my wrist off and give it to him.

#4832 Kevin Q from LA remembers "Game 5 of the 82 ALCS when I rushed the field with my older brother and his friends. My brother tried to grab Yount's hat and Yount hit him." Rockin' Robin is one tough SOB- and I love him for it. Any field rushing stories?

Thursday, May 31, 2007 - Pants-Peers Better than Turnblow?

Turnblow did it again for the third time this season. I know I sound like a grandpa here, but maybe some tighter-fitting clothes would give him some less sloppy control out there. He should think about a wardrobe change more in tune with Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn. Imagine if he came out for his next closing opportunity with a lightning bolt in his hair- the crowd would go nuts.

Or maybe, just maybe, we can tap into some of our own pants-peers as the next set-up man for Coco. #2861 Billy of Miltown's best memory is throwing 103 mph on the radar gun in the concession area. Comment with your own personal best radar gun stories.

Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - Add Your Thoughts

Pants-Peers now have the opportunity to enter a conversation with other Pants-Peers. The dedicated IT staff is still working out a few kinks, but clicking on Comments now allows you to add your own. The PYPFTB enrollment committee has noticed that following a win, there's a big uptick in the number of pledges. Well, the Crew needs us most when they're on a slide. It's a little roomy on the wagon after that skid now- so now's a prime chance to hop aboard.

After the holiday weekend, we want to give a special shoutout to all those Pants-Peers serving in the military. PYPFTB has some staunch supporters serving abroad. Here’s to Tim, Zeke, Chris, and Mark currently in Iraq. To Jason in Camp Ederle in Italy. And Joseph, Peter, and Julia who had tours in Iraq. Mark in Taji, Iraq says the last time he peed his pants was "when an RPG (rocket propelled grennade) sailed over my vehicle when we were on a mission recently." Hope you all enjoyed a cold Miller this past weekend and stay safe.

Sunday, May 27, 2007 - Brauny Man is My Personal Hero

Who knew he would be such a stud? We should put him in a xerox machine so we could have a team of ryan brauns. It would be tough on windy days, but at Miller Park with the roof closed they'd be fine. Even though they've been losing- they still get me so excited. Just thinking about our team makes me happy- The Prince, JJ, Tony Gwynn Jr., Ruan Braun- COME ON! #1257 Maureen from Milwaukee remembers "on fan appreciation night this really BIG guy won his height in beer, he practically had a heart attack running from the stands. Then they drove him off in a cart with all the cases of beer and people cheered him as if he was a king!" We can all be kings this weekend. Drink your Miller Lite responsibly.

Saturday, May 26, 2007 - Bush Big Inning Blows Braun's Debut

If I were in the Brauny man's shoes, I would have gotten a minimum of 5 nervous pees in before Play Ball. He's the real deal though and got his first hit, unfortunately in the loss. The Prince and JJ continue their onslaught with a dong each. Did anyone see the Best Damn Sports Show where Salley clowned JJ by putting an image of Haley Joel Osmont up next to him. Oh wow- he's all growed up now, isn't he?

Friday, May 25, 2007 - Game Over - Rest of the League Should Quit

The Brewers announced they're bringing Ryan Braun to the big leagues. Every other team must be seriously shaking in their boots as the Brauny man enters the fray. Let's contrast this story of celebration with a darker story of despair: #4779 Matt of Wauwatosa remembers "watching my dad get tossed for throwing his beer on someone on the first level, and having to sit throgh the rest of the game not knowing if I would ever see him again. Very traumatic for a 7 year old." Ryan Braun can be your new daddy Matt- he can be the daddy we've all always wanted.

Thursday, May 24, 2007 - Scratch That Brewer's Itch

As the Brewers taking a much-needed break today, the PYPFTB crew is working hard to unroll some new features in the next two weeks. Get excited. A store will be opening for some soon-to-be classic PYPFTB gear and we're going to make it so PYPFTB pledgees can interact quite a bit more. Check out the methods pages for some great entries from current pledgees. #4698 Wendy from Boston recalls as an 8-yr old "seeing Teddy Higuera turn down autograph seekers and then give me an autograph (speaking to me in Spanish, which I didn't understand)." You know why that happened Wendy? Teddy knew you were going to make the pledge 20 years down the road. He's like Desmond from Lost.

Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - Oden and Durant Won't Be Peeing Pants

The ping-pong balls didn't bounce Milwaukee's way on two fronts. With the #6 pick, the Buckeroos won't be stealing any Brewers press. And then the Crew was unable to take care of business due to a Sheetsy blister and maybe the Brewers star turn on The Young & The Restless. On a more happy note- here's an account from PYPFTB pledge Ryan on the positive impact we are having on the Crew: It was a damp and chilly evening at Citizens Bank Park for the 3rd of a 4-game series. My wife and I (Milwaukee native) were in left field surrounded by Philly fans. At the top of the 7th inning Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels remained unhit and perfect. I had to do something. I rose from seat 17 in full Brewer regalia. Pointing towards the scoreboard I proclaimed, “He has a no hitter going! This can be part of history!” Sensing my efforts to jinx Hamels I received a barrage of insults and expletives. Hamels walked Rickie. Not done yet, I zipped up my throwback 1982 Brewers jacket and pulled down my matching hat as JJ stepped up to the plate, and began shouting, “The Phillies have a no hitter! Amazing! I hope JJ doesn’t ruin the no-no!” Insults, expletives, and roasted peanuts flew my way. I stood strong as Hamels wound-up. JJ knocked a 2-run dong no more than 10 people away from me. I stood there, smiling, knowing in a small way, I had a hand in that hit.

Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - Brew Crew Bombers Fill Us With Energy

Great game last night as the Crew lit up the Dodgers. The Prince smacks two dongs to sit atop the NL home run leader mountain with JJ. Estrada smacked another one. And then Rickie Weeks used his rest time to hit a career-high 4 hits- BAM! The Crew was hitting on all cylinders with Soup on the mound. Special mention goes out to #2543 Derek from Danvers, MA, whose favorite player is Soup, and says the best part of being a Brewers fan is "being filled with energy after watching games." I think we all know exactly how you feel Derek- this Brewers electricity courses through your veins and you just want do dance all night like a maniac out of control.

Monday, May 21, 2007 - Pelvic Thrusting

How do you celebrate a big win like yesterday's? #3401 Tom of Tosa thinks the best part of being a Brewers fan is "gloating and pelvic thrusting while talking to your friend who is a hardcore Phillie's fan." That's exactly right. Not only does it get the point across about how dominant the Crew is, but it's a wonderful exercise for your core muscles. The only thing I might add to the celebration is raising both arms to make a T- that really puts the spotlight on you and optimally frames the thrusting.

Sunday, May 20, 2007 - Three Cheers for Brewers Ushers

#3151 Christian of Milwaukee's favorite County Stadium Memory is when a "Cubs fan who asked to check our tickets was removed from stadium. We didn't have tickets." Hip hip hooray for Brewers ushers. We'll need them to kick out some Minnesota fans today and give Vargas the extra edge for the early start. I hope the team doesn't need to get crazy haircuts (like cut off their sideburns) to get back on track.

Saturday, May 19, 2007 - Back to the Future

#4322 Kent Musbach of Milwaukee says the best part of being a Brewers fan is "trying to get the car up to 88mph in order to go back to 1982 to watch the World Series." Great call Kent- the PYPFTB research and development team is working with some engineers at Google to rebuild Doc's Delorian. Upon completion we'll be going back for all sorts of rad reasons- watch the 1982 World Series, make sure Barnett plays proper coverage on 4th and 26, and get my favorite shirt out of the way of that spilled grape juice. But at the same time we're also building for the future so we can watch the 2007 World Series. Great Scott Brewers- let's get back on track tonight.

Friday, May 18, 2007 - Gabe Gross has the POWER

Gabe Gross saved the Footprints story for last night apparently. In the first real trying moment of the season, Gabe lifted the Brewers with his big burly arms and carried them to a much-needed win by going 2 for 2 with 2 homers. Maybe he'll be our savior in the tough spots- here's hoping.

Friday, May 18, 2007 - Michael Hunt gets his stories from PYPFT

If you opened up your Journal Sentinel Sports section this morning you found Michael Hunt's column titled, "The naked truth? Brewers not shaken" which opened with the story of the Phillies streaker. The reporting team here at PYPFTB broke that story nearly 12 hours previously. Just another example proving that if you want hard-hitting and up-to-date Brewers coverage, you need to come here.

Thursday, May 17, 2007 - The Pledges are Up

Coincidence that the 4 game slide coincides with shoddy updating of the pledge list by the PYP crew? I think not. I'll take the blame for this low spot of the season so far- the players were probably thinking, "I don't know if this support is real. Where is the proof that those are actual pledges?" Well, the proof is in the pudding and the pudding is now posted on the internet. The data is a little unwieldy to access right now, but our professional team of computer wizards are working to make it more user-friendly. The rumor that Gabe Gross held a players-only meeting to tell the "Footprints" story has been proved false, as the Crew didn't win yesterday. He is holding on to that story for a time when we really need it.

Thursday, May 17, 2007 - PYPFTB Reports Streakers

Here at Pee Your Pants For The Brewers, we give you the hard-hitting reporting you really crave. Our representative at today's Phillies game (Brewers up 2-1) let us know that a streaker stormed the field at the end of the 6th. Obviously it is really lame when commentators boohoo fans running on the field- it's fantastic to watch these glory-seekers avoid chubby security men. This guy made it all the way to second base before he was taken to the ground and handcuffed. Security escorted the naked man past the Brewers dugout, perhaps in an attempted, but misunderstood, homage to this site. Philly security: it's pee for the Brewers, not on them.

Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - This is When We're Needed Most

No time for hysterics. The Crew has lost 4 of their last 5, but they have been competitive in every single game (minus one relaxing blowout). PYPFTB (Pee Your Pants For The Brewers) representatives at the Phillies game last night report that college night + Dollar dog night = 1 rowdy crowd. Our entrenched man hung a PYP sign in the 8th inning- inspiring the Prince and Estrada to hit their dongs. When a Phillies fan tore down the sign in the bottom of the 9th- Turnbow lost his edge and Ruiz ended the game. Our man also reports that dollar dog night is a joke in Philly without any secret stadium sauce and no Italian, Polish, brats, or chorizos available for consumption. He really showed some class and only ate 6 dogs. Quick shoutout to Tom from Dubuque, IL. Can you please repledge- it was accidentally deleted, but hands-down wins favorite County Stadium memory and will be posted in the new highlights section.

I just did a radio interview with Spike O'Dell on WGN. According to Jon #3, I followed up an interview with a national correspondent about the Taliban- which is about an awkward a segue imaginable if you ask me. I didn't have the opportunity to share with the Chicago market how I nervous peed beforehand. We should have some new members as Cubs fans abandon ship like rats on the Titanic. Also, here are some pics from the Mets game this past weekend where I got in a little tussle with the creepiest and lamest of mascots- Mr. Met. And the remaining 2500 posts should go live today as long as the guru of IT is feeling it.

Monday, May 14, 2007 - Still #1 (like what we'll do in our pant

We got two pieces of bad news in Wisconsin yesterday. The Crew lost in a blowout, but overall represented ourselves well in the New York series. Second terrible news- sorry to change sports, but you'll all understand. I was out to a dinner and saw the ticker on tv say, "Favre requested a trade." The dinner was ruined and I almost sprinted to the nearest computer to register www.HolyCowIWillSeriouslyCrapMyPantsIfThePackersTradeBrettFavre.com, but fortunately- it was a faulty story and the writers at jsonline ironed things out. Really though, the Packers front office has done an embarassingly poor job of taking advantage of Favre's last years in Green Bay- last words on the Packers. There will be some Pee Your Pants representatives at the Phillies series- check it out.

Saturday, May 12, 2007 - We can't make it look too easy

The Brewers dropped one to the Mets last night. After the Mets' big 4th inning, the Brewers never gave up and fought like warrior poets as they slowly chipped away with dongs by Rich Man's Favre, the Prince, and JJ. The New York crowd was so scared. A lot of Brewers fans last night. On the subway back to the stadium, I spread the Pee Your Pants gospel to Crew fans. There was one nice enough New York guy I snapped at when he asked, "So what do people do in Milwaukee? What kind of jobs are there?" My cool response, "You idiot! It's a city like anywhere else in America and the world. Not everyone lives in New York you self-obsessed dummy." Thanks to #51 Mark Laska for pointing out Pee Your Pants was mentioned in the Journal Sentinel. I'll be at the 1pm game today. All we need is 2 of 3 to stay on top.

Saturday, May 12, 2007 - JJ's Grand Salami puts the Mets away

What a game. The Crew put it together from top to bottom today- defense, offense, great pitching from Sheetsy. JJ Hardy wins player of the game and player of the Pee Your Pants team's collective heart. His grand salami put us back into the comfort zone and his outstanding dive and throw from the knees ended the game. A good number of Brewers fans were sprinkled through the stands. I sat next to four old-timers from Northern Wisconsin who made the trip for this Mets series. Slapping high fives throughout the game, Pee Your Pants never came up as they didn't look too internet savvy. After the dominating win, I went down to the dugout and in the downtime before JJ's interview shouted, "Pee Your Pants." When he laughed, and then looked at me and smiled- I nearly peed my pants on the spot, but realized I've got a couple of months to go. I was wearing a Pee Your Pants shirt (coming soon!) with my Brewers hat and celebrated with some excited fans who had already signed up and some who will now make the pledge soon. Some future pants-peeers from Wisconsin Rapids asked if I was God and walked on water. Relax, I'm a regular Brewers fan just like you guys. Bring on the rubber match.

If you've joined the team and are in the area, make yourselves known at the game (i.e. pee your pants). Also, check out the Methods page and send your own ways to pee your pants to [email protected] with the subject "Methods." The Pee Your Pants team will post the best ones.

They'll be up this Sunday evening. A quick goodie before the Brewers US tour starts:: #298, Adam from Orlando, who went to school with Yount's son and had Rockin' Robin sign his dinosaur book. Who doesn't love dinosaurs? All right, I'm off to the Brewers/Mets game- will be wearing a Pee Your Pants shirt- so holler at me if you're there.

Thursday, May 10, 2007 - Crushing Demand Nearly Cripples PYPFTB.com

Ask and ye shall receive. I asked to be inundated with pledges and they certainly came in. The Pee Your Pants team has obviously struck a nerve here. Check out the Venn diagram on the right for a not entirely scientific look at the market this website is tapping into. We are processing the pledges received in the last 12 hours, so please be patient as those will be posted throughout the day.

The entire Pee Your Pants team had a pow-wow last night. We heard from the VP of marketing and the IT guys and, as head of operations, I decided to shut down the pledges for today until we can get a more streamlined solution to posting them. We’ve got our IT team of professionals working around the clock to get us back in business. Remember, we’re all part of the Circle of Life here. If the Pee Your Pants team does its job (getting us back online), you can all do your job (pledging and then peeing your pants), and then the Brewers will
keep doing their job (winning). Just so you know, that is the direct
line of causation. Check back later this afternoon and definitely
tomorrow and you’ll be able to pledge again.

Thursday, May 10, 2007 - and we're UP! Make your pledges at PYPFT

A huge shoutout needs to go out to our talented and dedicated team of IT professionals. Executive Vice President of IT, Jake the Snake, has been looking at the Matrix all night and day working out a solution. You are again able to pledge to pee your pants for the Brewers. All pledges are sent to a database and you will be able to see your pledge by Sunday night, though the total number of pledges will continually be updated. Big weekend ahead of us- showdown with the Mets.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007 - Ladies' Night Too

We’re getting some quality pledges so far and not surprisingly, there are not many from the ladies. One notable pledge came from #38, Sara from Brookfield, who claims the last time she peed her pants was “sneezing when pregnant.” No doubt, I was a little horrified when I read that, but 10 minutes later after I got over the initial shock I realized how thrilled we are to have Sara on board. Even though I'm not entirely how all of this works for you guys, uh, girls, I'm fairly certain the wonderful sensations are the same. The Brewers need female fans to pledge too. So if you love the Brewers, and I know there are a lot of you out there, you can pledge to pee your capris or skorts, or pants whatever, just support the Brew Crew. Big win for Bush last night as he got back on the winning track (with the rest of the team) after losing his last two starts. He got off to a rocky start giving up a homer in the first, but put in a quality outing afterwards, “battling” all the way. The Prince hit his 10th dong of the year, a 3 spot, to put us up 4-1. When the Nationals got close in the 7th, Estrada and JJ Hardy broke it open with solo dongs in the eighth. Great win by the Crew to keep their strangehold on best team in baseball crown.

Wednesday, May 9, 2007 - Jenkins + Wild Pitch in the 8th= 3-1 Win

I hope everyone's at the game. Now that it's over, I want to be inundated with pledges from a capacity crowd manifesting their love for the Crew who just swept another series, have won 6 straight, and 10 of their last 11 games. Vargas gave us six solid innings and then the bullpen took over. Shousie in the 7th, Turnbow in the 8th, and then shutdown Cordero for the 9th. He gave up just his 4th hit of the season to get his 15th save. Following on Gamecast, when it went to the bottom of the 8th, I just knew good things were going to happen. The Prince started it off with a single. Billy Hall singled to advance him to second and then Geoff Jenkins gave us the winning rbi. When Billy Hall scored on a wild pitch it was all over. Wowzas. We are now 14 games over 500.

Tuesday, May 8, 2007 - Funky McNasty

That’s what Yost called one of Capuano’s pitches in the bullpen two days ago and that’s what the Brewers are this season- Funky McNasty. When the best team in baseball (Brewers) plays the worst team (Nats), you need to take care of business. And that’s what the Brewers did. With the early 3-run dong from rich man’s Brett Favre in the second, Capuano took care of business before handing things off to Cordero. Cappie is 5-0 on the year and the Crew are unbeaten in all seven of his starts. It was fantastic that Capuano was able to give the bullpen a rest and we only needed Cordero to pitch the 9th. This use of the bullpen is something the Brewers are going to need to work on and watch throughout the season. We can’t let those guys get tired and beat up after we all pee our pants, but before the real show begins in the actual playoffs. We’ve got a nice start so far with pledges. The obvious award for best entry goes to Paul Waldschmidt from Normal, IL who last peed his pants during a “tickle fight” with his wife. Good work. A close second is Mark Ellison’s question if “small dribbles count?” At 46, Mark is the grandfather of the team- and though small dribbles count for general pants-peeing, it will definitely not count for when the Brewers make the playoffs. You’re going to need to open the flood gates all the way for that Mark.

Monday, May 7, 2007 - Don't Mess with the Prince

And the site is finally up. It's been in the works for a while. The idea originally sprouted two years ago when the Brewers were decent. In hopeful discussions about finally reaching the promised land, my brother couldn't imagine what would happen if the Brewers made the playoffs. He thought he would pee his pants and then promised to do so. Naturally, the Brewers collapsed down the stretch and despite having two chances to finish the season with a winning record, they lost both games and ended the season in the limbo of a non-losing and non-winning season. Needless to say, my brother did not pee his pants. But he's got a chance this year as the Brewers are the best team in baseball. What a game by Prince yesterday- extracting his revenge after getting cheaply beaned. Going 3 for 4 with 2 homers, 3 runs, and 3 rbis- the Prince was the Brewers offense. After dominating the Cards, we just took 3 of 4 from the Pirates. A great week.
