Brewers scored in every inning on Thursday night, against Atlanta. Only the 16th time that's happened in MLB history. By comparison, there have been a whopping 23 perfect games.
Nothing else to report.

Interesting news. Well done the Brewers. Quite a feat.
Watched them play a game vs The Yankees over 20 years ago in the old County Stadium. Their mascot Bernie Brewer used to fall down a chute into a big beer glass when they scored a home run. The event was accompanied by a terrifying siren which must have been the one they used over here to signify the imminent arrival of the Luftwaffe. Sadly this clip doesn't cover half of it. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au_DTS4Ksjo This is the pitiful modern version at the new Miller Stadium. No siren, no beer glass as far as I can tell. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJgd2NywA8M |

I went to County Stadium in its last year. Miller Park was being built at the time, right behind it. There's now a very nice little league field where home plate in the old park was sited.
Sadly the mug is no more. Despite being named after a brewing company, and 'beer' being expensively available throughout the stadium, they can't be seen to encourage alcohol consumption. After he slides down nowadays, he waves a big flag - something most Americans can get behind! There was rioting overnight in Milwaukee after yet another black-shot-by-cops incident, hence the title I borrowed from Fox. |
