Nationals Fans Attacked by Free Sausages

    The Nats declined to comment on any sausage failures, so I'll go by some first-person accounts. Screech came out on a Segway, as he always does for this promotion, and set up shop down the right field line. (The sausage shooter is used irregularly, but is a season-long promotion that has been used before and is scheduled to be used again.) This time, though, the sausages (wrapped in bun, foil and T-shirt, along with a flyer) weren't soaring into the stands with the majesty of a Roethlisberger bomb. This was the Danny Wuerffel version.
     
  2. Did they follow that up with a huge hose spraying Yuengling into the gaping mouths of the fans?
    Because that would have been cool.

    They don't have fans to shoot beer to.

    I think they use the hoses to spray relish on them.

    This happened at a Jays game a few years back. Hot dogs exploding all over the fans.

    Haven't tried it since.

    Screech is a pretty stupid fucking name for a mascot too.

  10. Mikey just cried and he doesn't know why.
    Moddy, OTOH, has a damn good idea why he is.

    Why did I think first of the Brewers upon seeing this headline?
