still true I'm certain,   the hot dog is not even the most popular sausage ordered in Milwaukee, but the Bratwurst.

as a former food vendor at County Stadium,  it sucked to be assigned hot dogs.
A. people wanted Brats, italians, or polish, and I had none of it.
B.  even if they wanted a hot dog, I didn't have the Secret Stadium Sauce,  that was in the Concourse.

might as well be selling ice to eskimos.

apropos of nothing. my preferred items to vend walking the seats (early/mid 90s)
1. peanuts
2. lemon/strawberry ice chill,   make a killing during hot days.
3. dove bars/snicker bars
4. Weekday day games: CottonCandy/licorice ropes for the punk kids
5. pretzels (especially for Packers games)
6. Nachos, wouldn't sell one for 20 minutes, then when you did, you'd sell out as adjacent fans watched you ladle the cheese on the chips. It was like being Vince Offer the Shamwow guy.
7. soda

68 and cloudy all day today, but went to SD @ COL.  It was like 14-2, Rockies.  Had a dog and fries.  The asian noodles smelled good, but $17 for a small cup is stupid.  

They take everything good about a thing and then turn that sumbitch sideways and stick it up our asses.

Dodgers take both Tokyo games from the Cubs.  Well on the way to 162-0

Chicago in a few weeks. Bought White Sox tickets. Can't believe how rock-bottom the prices are. As low as TWO dollars and only FIVE for the lower bowl are like prices from the 1960s! ⚾

That's how bad they are.  One of the worst teams ever last year and have 6 SP getting Tommy John this Spring Training.

Reinsdorf needs to sell the team (and the Bulls).

Should there be a 2025 thread? Or just an MLB thread?
