Milwaukee Quotations

It's valuable to me as an artist and actor to explore all kinds of outlets. So if a local filmmaker in Milwaukee had a good story, I'd be part of it in a second.

St. Louis is closer to Minneapolis than Milwaukee is.

I rooted for the Milwaukee Brewers and its stars, Robin Yount and Paul Molitor. I went to a lot of games, including the World Series in 1982. The Brewers may have been a bad team for most of my life, but to have your team at its peak when you are thirteen years old is an experience I wish for every fan.

There are a lot of people in Milwaukee who have had adverse impacts from Scott Walker. He's managed to mess over everyone in Milwaukee.

Ned has been trying to get me back for quite a few years and the time just hasn't been right for me personally. I've been trying to get the family out of the house and get the kids grown up and move on. I always assumed I would go back one day to Milwaukee in some capacity, and I was very fortunate that the time to come back is now with these really talented young players that we have and hopefully get to watch their progress.

I don't know that we'd be asking that same question ... he had a start in Milwaukee that was awfully good. He had a tough time today.

Milwaukee came back in the second quarter and made a game of it.

Milwaukee has been a pretty steady market, where appreciation has moved pretty close to income. Risk is concentrated on the coasts.

Milwaukee has one of my favorite steakhouses. I don't know these guys at all, so I don't know what I bring yet. I've watched them play, and I've been impressed with the way they play the game.

Milwaukee is different from what I'm used to. It's cold and it's much more of an old town, a traditional city. When I first got here, compared to the cities I'm used to, Milwaukee was the complete opposite. It took awhile but I'm adjusted to it now.

Milwaukee is the team we would probably play in the playoffs, so we wanted to send a message that it will be a challenge to play against us. We came back to tie the game twice, which showed a lot of character for a young team.

Milwaukee King's the team to beat. I think they really are. Just look at their lineup.

Milwaukee shoots a lot of jump shots and our big guys do a good job of getting the rebounds. We're able to make some long outlet passes and we have the guys who can get out fast. Then we're off to the races.

Milwaukee tonight will beat a lot, a lot of people. They were very good.

Milwaukee was a fascinating place. When I was a kid, it was basically a blue-collar, factory kind of town, lots of bars, lots of fights.

Harry's 17 years with the organization were marked by outstanding team achievements, including the team's first-ever pennant and World Series appearance, and he will be remembered as one of the organization's legends, ... He was also one of the community's greatest supporters and he did much to make the city of Milwaukee a better place for all of us to call home.

I am terribly saddened to learn of the passing of Harry Dalton, ... He was one of the great general managers of our generation. I was fortunate to have him serve as general manager of the Milwaukee Brewers from 1978 through 1991.

I don't think that playing Milwaukee ... is going to be easy. I think we knew that going in, and especially with Milwaukee because they've got guys that are capable of getting 40 points against us. We just have to be careful with them and take care of home-court.

I don't care about numbers, man, I just want to win basketball games, ... I just want to get Milwaukee back in the playoffs, and if we do that I'll be happy.

What worries me is that we've had three games that are stinkers. We didn't look good against Milwaukee and we didn't look good tonight. They pretty much took it to us tonight.

He was very aggressive. He was working all week on making everything solid. He was up 16-3 over the Milwaukee Vincent kid (in the championship match) when he pinned him, so he was very dominant today.

His stuff he had in Milwaukee was the same stuff he had tonight.

The people in Milwaukee are wonderful to work with and are excited about the opportunity to have a film shot locally.

We're preparing for our game. We need to stick to our principles, which is just play smart, play hard and play together. I think that is what you saw when we played Milwaukee last weekend. We really put that game together and we have been able to do that this year. If you get into the conference and you are thinking too much about the other opponents, I think it will hurt you and go against you.

I think every team got better. Milwaukee got better. Indiana is going to be that much better with their guys coming back. We know how good Detroit is. I don't know any team that really took a step back in the off-season.

I remember when I was first committing here we saw that the Frozen Four was going to be in Milwaukee when I would be a junior, so it's kind of a cool thing. Now I'm here, and now we're going there.

I think Milwaukee started to press because they had the momentum but could score. They took some chances, and we created opportunities.

I think for him to come to a team like Milwaukee is going to be great for his progress because he does not have to come in and be the main man right away. He just has to come in and be one of the players and he fits in great.

I thought we did a good job playing to our strengths. I'm pleased that we can play with top Milwaukee competition.

We don't have the snow removal equipment that Buffalo or Milwaukee has.

Wisconsin will bring people from Wausau and Kaukauna and La Crosse, so you don't only get the good fan base from the greater Milwaukee area, but a lot of people come in, especially with the MARS cars coming in and the Mid-American cars from all over the state, bringing in their fan base, their parents and children and grandpas and whatever, ... It's really a fun weekend.

We have not done a good enough job just getting Milwaukee on the radar screen, ... People just don't think about Milwaukee.

We're a favorite now. I think teams know Milwaukee is good now. We've got to be more prepared ourselves because teams are going to be more prepared for us.

We're building this area between Milwaukee and Chicago as the best of both worlds. We're just excited to bring another high-profile event here.

Well, we made it interesting. A lot more interesting than we needed to after being up by 20. That's the danger of the Milwaukee team is their three-point shooting ability and tonight we just couldn't keep T.J. Ford in front of us. He just went wherever he wanted to go with the basketball and created all kinds of scoring opportunities for their team. If it wasn't for him, I think it would have been a much easier game.

We are the greatest champions for our community. We have to stop looking at our feet and tell people the story of what Milwaukee is all about.

Wal-Mart, Walgreen's and Sally Beauty Supply in La Crosse, Wis., have a small selection of Black hair products. When I visit Milwaukee or Chicago I usually try to pick some up, but I don't get there as often as I would like.

Those are crucial minutes. We wanted to get a good start because we didn't want this game to resemble the Milwaukee game.

We're not done yet. We want this to be the premier park in the league if not the state (outside of Milwaukee and Appleton). The fans and sponsors have allowed us to do that.

We are open that long because that's what our customers want. Milwaukee is a little different market than some. Fleets generally seem to be able to schedule maintenance for convenient times. A few fleets are based here, but most of the commercial trucks in our area are privately owned. We need to get our jobs done as quickly as possible so that those trucks can go to work for the people who bought them.

We do get a lot of film buffs. I know of some people who are coming in from the Milwaukee area and other parts of the state to look at the films.

We saw Milwaukee lost last night, so we knew we had to come in and take care of our business. We wanted to avoid Detroit. They've shown what type of team they are.

We're just off to a good start, and they're not. It's just one series in April. What will it mean in a month if we win two of three or lose two of three? It means more than beating Milwaukee over the weekend. But it's still one series.

When you take a team like Milwaukee that can really score and you hold them to 74 points your team defense is doing something. That's the staple of our team.

I signed with the Milwaukee Braves for three-thousand dollars. That bothered my dad at the time because he didn't have that kind of dough. But he eventually scraped it up.

Coming from our freshman year, we've come such a long way. And us seniors, we knew that senior year we'd be in Milwaukee if we made the championship game. It's a dream come true for us. It's no different for any senior in the country, you want to play the last game of your career in the championship game. And we're ready. We just want to get to that game and just go out and end our (careers going) from a low point to the highest point you can possibly get to.

We need to go up to Milwaukee and play a team that's playing very well... and try to come out with a win. It's not a perfect season, and this builds character for a team. I'm just happy it happened earlier in the season. Hopefully this will make us better.

We seemed to be cruising along there pretty well until the Milwaukee game at home got away from us. Then we turned around and played a great end of the year. When you look at the end result ? winning 23 games ? that's a pretty good year, all things considered.

The show was closed unjustly because the licensing ordinance that the city claims was the grounds for closing us does not apply to nonprofit and charitable organizations like the Milwaukee Gay Arts Center.

There is a lot of pride on the line in a game like this. It has always been our goal at the beginning of the year to win the in-state title. Milwaukee is off to a very good start. They are always a very organized program. Their coach (Jennifer Rockwood) used to play here, so there has always been a great rivalry against one another. Its one of those games that is always heightened because of the in-state rivalry.

The things that I know from watching him in Milwaukee and Arizona, the thing we're going to work on is to charge harder. He kind of plays deep a little bit. He has tremendous range and a tremendous arm. Sometimes he has to charge the ball more and not lay back.

That's why we have to go out and win the next two games against Milwaukee and Detroit. These are must-win games for us.

Everything is an original piece for the show. We have a lot of artists who haven't shown in Milwaukee before.

This agreement, which is the result of hard bargaining and tough discussions, enables Tower to address approximately 85 percent of its post- retirement medical liability and achieve the savings we need from this group while also addressing a variety of issues important to the unions and their members. This positive outcome would not have been possible without the hard work of the Milwaukee unions' leadership and their professional advisors. Together, we have reached a positive solution to some very difficult issues, and I appreciate their willingness to engage in a constructive dialogue during this process.

This is one of the greatest days of my life. To be able to stay where my career began is a blessing. I'm so humbled that Milwaukee would even think of me in this manner.

This is a wonderful victory for Milwaukee families after three-and-a-half years of struggle.

This is an important project for West Milwaukee that will add jobs and more tax revenue.

I have not heard one way or another whether I'm on or off. Just like everybody else, I'm going out there pitching and hopefully I'll be in Milwaukee on Monday.

I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I moved to L.A. when I was about eleven years old. I always go back to Milwaukee whenever I can. Just chill with my grandpa and my grandmother and just be with family, be with people that were there before I got a million views on YouTube because of my music video.

I had to start over in Milwaukee and were able to build a (good) team. When I went to Cleveland (in 1985 as vice-president and GM) we did the same thing with a blend of young players and veterans. This franchise is in the same position. It's essential we blend youth in with veterans. We're going to continue that plan and I can see positive results.

I'm disappointed for the men and women who serve proudly in the 440th and will be affected by this decision, ... Their service in Milwaukee will be remembered with honor and distinction.

He's a real bulldog. Milwaukee fans will love him. He will make an impact this season.

It's great that we won 14 in a row, but I think the big thing now is for us to keep that swagger, that hunger to get better and not get complacent. The big thing for us right now is we've got some good teams that we're about to play. So nothing against Charlotte or Atlanta, but now we got Cleveland coming in, and then we go to Milwaukee and Chicago, so we can't play the way that we have these last two games if we're going to have any chance to win.

It was outstanding. We knew by being in our back yard here in Milwaukee that the crowd was going to be nuts.

It was a hard fought game. Pius is a pretty respected Milwaukee program. We were a little disappointed that we let a lead go but we played strong defensively.

I really wanted this game because we were playing Detroit and because we really let a win slip away against Milwaukee (on Wednesday).

In my heart of hearts, I wanted to come back here in Milwaukee. Obviously I went to Cleveland to visit. It just didn't sit right. I had to do that; it also was in my heart. But eventually staying here in Milwaukee was the one thing I wanted to do.

Sometimes when you've had entities out there that have just been kind of quietly chugging along, sort of doing the right thing, you don't always hear a lot about them. I think as we get our work force system here more aligned, you're going to see the benefits of these initiatives such as Milwaukee Jobs Initiative, which had that early foresight about how you do this right.

The image that Milwaukee has as a 'Laverne & Shirley' town, as a Rust Belt city, is still a predominant issue.

The guys in that locker room have brought respectability back to this organization. I don't think there's a team that enjoys coming to Milwaukee anymore, or looks forward to Milwaukee coming to their hometown.

The new tools from Makita and Milwaukee offer more than just battery technology. They feature better ergonomics, longer cycle times and low weight-to-torque ratios that help make these tools the biggest step forward in cordless technology in years.

This is our place, our house, our building. We let too many teams come in and do similar things (as Milwaukee did).

Even when I was a free agent last year, my agent approached Milwaukee. Milwaukee was one of the first places on my list.
