Prince Fielder HR Celebration

I've never criticized the 2004 Red Sox for being "idiots," so it may be somewhat hypocritical to berate the Brew Crew for lack of "professionalism" for their premeditated celebration after Prince Fielder's walk-off homerun on Sunday, but...stuff like this just looks stupid when your team is 15 games under .500:



Unrelated BTW: Yikes. If the 2009 World Series is in the Bronx, tickets won't be cheap. According to the New York Post, tickets are already on sale in the secondary market for $23,000 each. The new Yankee Stadium seats 50,235 fans. After tickets were allocated for season ticket holders, league executives, players, and sponsors, there are only 735 face value tickets left per game for the "real fans." Not good.

"Serenade Your Sweetie With Sausages"

How about this for a creative Valentine's Day gift: If you happen to live within 45 miles of Milwaukee's Miller Park you could have bid $650 for four Club Level tickets to a Brewers home game and the opportunity to have the "Famous Klement's Racing Sausages visit your spouse or significant other at their home or place of work to deliver a Valentine's present" between 1 and 2pm on February 14.

We know that there are at least five or six good sausage/Valentine's Day related jokes in there somewhere, but we'll just leave it at that.

Happy Valentine's Day!
