Burnitz didn't whine about playing in Milwaukee, he actually ripped Wendy and Bando for being clueless.

Now that deserve a standing ovation.

I was planning to not even acknowledge Jenkins. I cheered for him at the end of last year to thank him for his career in Milwaukee. He was a nice player, but nothing special.

However, if I hear booing around me, I will get on my feet and cheer like Babe Ruth had been reincarnated.

boy, that highlight of Jenkins running through the stop sign to score the winning run last night was just vintage Jenkins. The guy just wants to be a winner. I love him as a player. I may not love his statistics but I love his attitude, work ethic, hustle, and down-home ballplayer-ness.

I'm so excited for the Wednesday game, it'll be my first game of the year, and me and a few friends called a week or two ago to get tickets and got first row in the right field bleachers. We have an idea for a sign for Jenkins, should be TV worthy.

Yeah, I guess I just never got the love affair with him, which you obviously do - so we're never going to see the same page.

I did read what you said -- what I was responding to was the notion that Jenks didn't really deserve all the fan-fare. Plus, what I quoted was about a Standing O, as opposed to just some 'cheers'. We'll agree to disagree, I guess.

"I told [Manuel] I had to have the green light. He said, 'Hey ... no,'" said Jenkins, who stole a career-high 11 bases in 12 attempts in 2000. "They say you can see something in this game you've never seen. I just saw it. But hey, we have a glitch in the system right now. A few guys are banged up and we have to pick up the slack. That's what good teams do.

"I'm Rickey Henderson."

That last quote...

Hey, I certainly believe he shouldn't get booed - it's this idea that we owe him something because he came to work every day and did his job. I guess I don't understand. He made money here that he wouldn't have made anywhere else - that's why he was here for so long. I think it's silly to act like he stuck around out of some selfless act. Had he been a stand out and been offered better money elsewhere, he would have gone, same as any number of other guys that have left...

Jenkins is my favorite post 80s player for the Brewers. I'll be giving him a standing O even if i am watching from home. He has been Mr Brewer for several years.

I like that idea jason. I wish I was going to that game so I could give him the standing ovation I think he deserves. I know some casual drunk moronic fans will boo but for the most part I hope he gets a nice hello from us Brewers fans. It is...

Like others have said, he'll get a standing O. I'd be extremely surprised if there's any booing going on.

Geoff Jenkins will be coming back to Miller Park with the Phillies on Wednesday, April 23. I know he was kind of a lightning rod for controversy over the years due to his propensity for being streaky, his lefty/righty splits and at times his injuries, but he was a Brewer for 10 years, played hard every day and is among the Brewer career leaders in a ton of offensive categories. Most importantly though, he wanted to be in Milwaukee and loved the Brewers and us fans. That ad he took out in the...
