What Made Milwaukee Famous

Are the Giants now the Buckhorn Beer of the NL? I am thinking they probably don't even rate that high. The generic swill they used to flush into the plain white can is probably a closer fit. Sure the stuff gets you drunk but it's a bland, colorless drunk. There's a pretty apt metaphor for your San Francisco Giants. The descent from a fine pilsner to Hamms in the 'Keg Can' is a tough and somber journey.

Maybe a stinking pub crawl on a three day runner of fried pork rinds, Camels and Falstaff is the best way to get through this season. The whole debacle is taking on the delightful bouquet of a projectile vomit fest. As nasty and odoriferous as that burning morning after grinder is the agonizing epiphany that the Brewers are doing things better than the Giants on almost every level.

In the starting lineup tonight they had 7 youthful and cheap homegrown ball players. That the Brewers figured out this is a good way to do business while the Giants were shooting Burgies in their car is both stunning and sad. Signing washed up old has beens is like picking up a sixer of Old Milwaukee. Can this ever be a satisfying choice? Regal Select, maybe, but Old Milwaukee?

They say you really only rent beer but why do we have to go all out Pabst on 3 year contracts. Anybody can slag down an Oly but who wants to saddle up to that bar night after night locked in by a no trade clause. Are you really aiming high if tonight you let it be Lowenbrau?

While I realize that crying in your beer is kind of pathetic, I am sensitive. This thing is hobbling me like a high school bladder. Honey, can you bring me a Schlitz?
