Brewers — Coolest franchise ever

His right arm is made of gold. He just looks a little too old.

 

My first week of college I went out to the old County Stadium for a game. Plenty of good seats available in the bleachers. A guy came up to me with an old wooden milk crate full of crushed ice and beer and asked me a question I have not been asked at a ballpark before or since:
"How many do you need?"
I thank my HS guidance counselor every day for that.

 

Thanks for clicking over from Pitchfork, but incorrect

 

Was that the pitch Encarnacion drilled last night?

 

Well played.

Maybe all I need is a shot in the arm.

 

Any franchise that has Bud Selig's fingerprints still on it, fresh or otherwise, is flawed. Not cool.

Having said that, I guess since he's commissioner, every franchise is flawed.

Not far from the truth.

 

I think that's what Ben Sheets likes to say.

Seriously, good for Jeff and the boys. My money's on that guitar-playing maniac Nels Cline in the sausage race.

And for those of you crying "Dad rock," well, this Dad says go see Wilco live before you dump on them. They're the real deal.

 

I'll also point out that when you go see them, the age spectrum of those in attendance is pretty broad, with even representation across it.

 

Where there's Wilco, you can count on Del B. bein' down.

 

That's Tweedy? Christ.

He looks like some hobo who stole the ball and threw out the first pitch after rummaging through Miller Park's garbage for a half-eaten brat.
