Apparently I should become a Milwaukee Brewer Fan

This is what it's like being a Milwaukee Brewers fan.

"As a Cubs fan, my friends and I frequently travel to 'Wrigley North' to catch games. This year, we went to the April 12 Sunday Night Baseball game. My friend secured good seats, second row just about on the left field foul pole. There were four of us, seats 5-8. We show up a late, just before game time (we caught the end of the Masters before heading in). Anyway, we go down to our seats, and there is a family sitting in seats 1-4.

Dad, mom, daughter (maybe 19) and son (16 or so). The problem is, being Wisconsin mouth-breathers, they are fat as f***. Honestly, the daughter, who was supposed to be in seat 4, was spilling into the area of the bench marked 6. Each of them looked like the spawn of Dom Deluise and Rosie O'Donnell, but blonde.

When my friends and I tried to cram in, the daughter had the nerve to yell AT US for trying to sit there, and told us there wasn't room. Clearly. Anyway, after shoehorning ourselves in, we proceeded to find out exactly why 'sconnies look the way they do. In the first six innings of the game (they left after 6!), the girl alone polished off the following: a bratwurst, a soft pretzel, a slice of pizza, fried cheese curds, and cheese fries. Oh, and about 4 miller lites. Welcome to Miller Park." (Brian)

But wait, there's more!

"I'm sitting in the left field bleachers with a couple buddies and (surprise) the Brewers are getting killed. It's like the 3rd inning, when all of a sudden the people right in front of us finally find their seats. Which I have to give them credit for, because they were WASTED. It was a couple, some douche with fake Oakleys and hat sideways like he's all gangsta but is actually a huge p**** and some whore wearing a JJ Hardy t-shirt. (It's easy to spot the slutty girls at Miller Park. Just look for the 7's. )

First thing they do is order grab a round and then they drink some more. They were actually cut off by the beer guy, which I have never seen before. When they weren't drinking or peeing, they were straight up making babies on each other. They weren't even watching the game at all. The huge grope fest eventually catches the attention of the whole section, but mostly my friends and I, who had the misfortune of being 6 inches from this fat girl getting felt up her jean skirt. We started laughing at them after a while and they eventually realized it and the dude turns around and cleverly says 'f**s.'

So it's like the 7th inning and they're going at it, when out of God's good graces they stop for a moment. Just like it was out of a movie, the girl just pukes EVERYWHERE. I have never laughed harder in my entire life. The people sitting in front of them got sprayed. It was awful/wonderful.

But the best part is instead of helping the poor girl out, this guy IMMEDIATELY just books it up the aisle and disappears. I guess they weren't such good friends after all. Anyway, she sits there for a minute and tries to play it off like nothing happened, but there's vomit everywhere so there's nothing doing. Everyone is just howling at this girl. Eventually she gets up and stumbles off to the whoratory or wherever she was going. Then we grabbed their bobbleheads and left. (

... well looks like I'm circling Miller Park on my ballpark tour. Just South of North! Where one half of the editorial staff is obese, yet we still like to make fun of fat people. Gotta love blogs.

(Thank you Deadspin for making my Monday so much better)

Epic Photo: Milwaukee is apparently my kind of town

First on ESPN Radio, I hear that people actually tailgate religiously before Brewers games in Milwaukee - and then I go to Deadspin and they have a photo of people playing flip cup with one of the Brewers Sausage mascots. Ladies and gentlemen, what a state.

The same Brewer Sausages famous for an on-field assault by Randall Simon. (By the way, this is a super old clip and I remember watching this in high school and thinking this was the most hilarious thing I'd ever seen. Also, check out how deadpan serious the anchors are. I'm pretty sure this is the same serious voice they would use if somebody got murdered. The best part about this clip though is apparently Milwaukee newcasts run lotto numbers on the bottom of the screen the entire time. I'm not sure if I can take them quite as seriously)

By the way, greatest thing that ever has happened to me while playing flip cup, I was in the closer position during a game and our team handed me over a huge lead (we're talking probably three-four person lead in the game) and I blew it. It took me so many attempts to get the cup over that I earned the nickname "Five-Flip Hansen."

Not quite as bad as A-Rod's nickname (rhymes with "witch slits"), but nevertheless, I was the flip cup version of Heathcliffe Slocumb. When he came into the game, everyone groaned and headed for the exits.

Reasons why you're still single... you get traded for nothing.

You get traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Detroit Tigers... for absolutely nothing. Which means that Jason Tyner is sleeping alone tonight.

Dan Lunetta, the Tigers’ director of minor league operations, said the Brewers assigned Tyner’s contract to the Detroit organization. It didn’t appear that any cash or other players were involved in the transaction.

Tyner, who turns 32 on Thursday, has appeared in the majors with four teams and played in 114 games with the Minnesota Twins in 2007. He batted .095 (2-for-21) in nine games this year with Milwaukee’s Triple-A Nashville affiliate.

.095? He and Griffey could compare hitting notes.

Dont you think they could have thrown in some bats or something?

Epic Photo: 3-D.....ave Bush


Meet Dave Bush of somebody's Milwaukee Brewers. This is a picture of him in action yesterday when he took a no-hitter into the 8th inning against the reigning World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies. Even though Bush lost the no-hitter and the shutout on a Matt Stairs solo home run, the Brewers still won the game 6-1.
