After watching baseball this past weekend on Cable at
my cottage in Wisconsin I’ve got a whole new meaning
for “throwing out the first pitch”. The lineups were

The pitcher’s scouting report was brought to me by

out a triple stacked beef burger from Burger King
should be my meal of choice. And Chevrolet might’ve
been better served waiting for the game to end before
announcing Aramis Ramirez as the Player of the Game.
They had a little egg on their face as Ramirez made
the last out of the game for the Cubbies, while the
REAL Player of the Game lives on the Southside of
town, a fellow by the name of A.J. Pierzynski!

And at the World Cup, a man was forced to strip to his underwear because his pants sported a beer name, in direct conflict with sponsor Budweiser.
Ssheesh!
Moxy Fruvous, one of my favorite bands, sang this little ditty on NPR a long time ago.
