Baseball is back...
and Wisconsin does it right.
"So, if you need an early baseball fix, you can head to Appleton. All fans will receive a dual bobblehead of the Rattler's mascot, Fang, and the Brewers' mascot, Bernie Brewer. In these tough economic times, it's also "Thirsty Thursday," with beer and soda selling for $1."

Where else can one get a beer for a buck (save for Points East on a Wednesday)?
The manliest man game men have ever played
is back for reals in 19 days.
Conan, what is best in life?
Baseball, visiting Tim, and free rides on the Hiawatha!
That is good.

More, more, I'm sorry, but I have more
I guess it is just baseball. I guess it is just gray skies and concrete parking lots. I guess it is grown ups throwing balls while other grown ups scream and yell. I guess it is beer and food and buying and selling.
I get it though; in the end someone wins and someone loses.
Simple. We don't have to count votes in this game.
The team you would most like to have a beer with will probably lose the most games; They are drunk, fat, stupid, and probably too much like you to hit a ball far or make diving catch. Get my drift?
I'm on a high horse tonight.
Celebrate Milwaukee. This will be our last chance for a while.
We may be put in our place by the powers that be for being a bunch of uppity challengers of the status quo, but at least we got to stand up tonight and say, "You know what? Enough is enough. It's time for the little person to get her chance."
From here on, I don't much care what happens. The ball is rolling. Keep it going.
It's starting to come together Pepper...it's starting to come together.
A three game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley will be oh so sweet. I sat in section 509 tonight and met a fair share of crew fans. The cold, sweeping northwest winds are keeping everyone but the Prince from hitting the ball out of the park onto Waveland or Sheffield. I'll be sitting rooftop in left field tomorrow for the finale courtesy of Ikon copiers and printers.
No first place team in the bigs has a larger lead than the 3.5 game cushion the Brewer's are currently enjoying over the Reds and Astros in the NL Central.
Sheets looks sharp...
One run on two hits with no walks over nine. Keep eating innings Benny.
Ok Cub fans...I have had enough of your shit.
