There is so much hilarity all during the pregame runup - T-shirt slingshots, a live polka band, crazy recognitions, a dozen different people pitching "the first pitch," I think racing sausages would just be FAB! (But of course, it wouldn't work in the STL.)

Oh, and Ann? I didn't think this evening's result was so bad. On to Game Three!; 10/10/11, 11:04 PM

The first rule of Meat Racing is: you do not talk about Meat Racing.

The second rule of Meat Racing is: you DO NOT talk about Meat Racing!; 10/11/11, 12:00 AM

But, I seem to remember back in '82, the Brewers blew the Cards out in game one, so maybe this is just going in reverse. Always figured the Brewers would need 7 to win.

By the way, does anyone turn on the TV to see what happened overnight anymore?; 10/11/11, 6:48 AM
kjbe said...: The sausages showed up (were hired) as surprise guests at my nephews wedding reception, last summer. It was quite the hit - they stayed and danced for over an hour with everyone mugging for pictures.

And yes, boy was that ugly, last night.; 10/11/11, 8:07 AM

I don't see whay not. Plus Bud Selig, ex-Brewers owner is commissioner.

Of course if they don't figure out Pujols we may never know.; 10/11/11, 8:42 AM
Curious George said...: The Chicago Bulls used to have a scoreboard race...I forget the theme then, now it's sponsored by Dunkin' Donuts...and you could see the players watching it from their timeout huddle. Phil Jackson would be yakking away and Jordan and Pippen would be watching the "race". Knowing Jordan, he probably had a cople hundred grand riding on it.; 10/11/11, 8:48 AM
