Twin’s Verse Brewers 1st Inning Minnesota Experience

Deciding to sit among baseball fans, I wanted to be in the competitive environment of a major league stadium.  My fraternity brothers are eclectic and both sides of the boarder.  Wisconsinites mingle freely on Minnesota soil.  I sat down just in time to see nervous eyed Carlos Gomez bat lead off. 

Listening to my friends I sat in a room of Wisconsinites and Minnesotans. Bets flared, cases of beer and keg cups were bartered before anyone even got up off the couch.  College students don’t have much to offer for bets except alcohol and $5.  Miller High Life is the request of the Wisconsinites and Coors is for the Minnesotans.  Well anything that doesn’t support Wisconsin is a beer of choice.

The conversation shifted to who has a better ball park.  Target Field verse Miller Park (We all pretend the Metrodome isn’t real) The home run porch verse the chance to have balconies like the Chicago stadium.  Unresolved, we watch the bats of the first inning.  Little excitement until we see a strike 3 pitch in the dirt that advances a runner.  “Hooray, an All-Star catcher like Joe Mauer wouldn’t error like that!” Ruckas becomes the norm in a fraternity.  We live out loud.    

Conversation moves to the recent playboy issue. Jokes: the difference between a redneck and a good ole boy? The good ole boy raises livestock and the redneck gets attached. (We laughed even if you didn’t)

Invariably these jokes lead to comparisons between the women of Wisconsin.  (No offense but some are goat ugly)

Suddenly the Milwaukee man yells, “!@#$% Brewers catch something” We see the Twin’s Joe Crede hit a 3 run double.  Sticking to the wall, landing between two Brewer outfielders.  Error! The Milwaukee man had to exit the room to change since the heat and his blood hit the same temperature.

Then the drunk songs begin.  A Minnesota man with a broken guitar, plucking and strumming strings with no regard for tonality or quality.
