    As they say.." Only in America "



    Could just see the headlines now.



    Batman Vs Salami-woman..



    Knowing the way Americans like to litigate ( sue the sh***t out of each other ), I'd say she'd get about $60 million...

    She thought it was funny, I saw an interview with her today. She didn't press charges and isn't going to. Those costumes are really top heavy, so it isn't hard to take a tumble in them.

    I saw it on Sportscenter yesterday. I love how the bratwurst in the lederhosen stops for a split second, then takes off toward the finish line.

    The ESPN breakdown of Sausagegate begins about 4 minutes into the video.

    Not a fan of the Bucs throwbacks? They aren't even the worst ones!..The Astros uniforms with the big orange/yellow stripes take the cake, IMO.

    on a serious note i lived in milwaukee for 5 years and the sausage race was the only competitive* thing to occur in county stadium.

    then during the year they were building miller park they begin doing the sausage race on the scoreboard during the weekdays!

    in made a man cry in is linenkugel red, and over condiment his brat with secret stadium sauce, needless to say i moved to chicago the next season.







    *unless you could get a good game of moundball going: everyone puts in a buck and each half inning someone different holds the money, if at the end of the inning the baseball ends up on the dirt part of the mound whoever is hold the cash wins. IT CANNOT TOUCH GRASS IN ANY WAY!

    we had a judge who would stand up and say MOUNDBALL! or NO MOUNDBALL! he was a very large and gruff man who's other claim to fame was whenever he met someone from minnesota he would tell them, "we got more fvckin' lakes than you"
