The end of opening weekend at Miller Park brings with it the hope of a winning season to Brewers fans everywhere. My peers who weren't able to witness the excitement of 1982 believe that 2008 will be the lucky year. Sadly I wasn't able to attend any of the games this weekend, but driving past full parking lots and seeing clips on the news was enough to convince me that I missed out on a great deal of fun.
If there's one thing I love about baseball it would have to be tailgating. Milwaukee is of course known for our unique celebration of our finest brats and beers, we like to show off our grilling skills to strangers, throw baseballs next to rows of automobiles, and drink as much as possible before entering the stadium. $6.00 a beer, are they crazy?
If there's another thing I love about baseball it would have to be the crowd it draws. Miller park seems to draw in a diverse crowd. Just following basketball, baseball has players that represent a wide variety of races and ethnicities. I think that Brewer games hold the widest range of fans in Milwaukee.
Also, the sausage races, I can't forget the sausages.
What do you find to be the best aspect of Miller Park?

No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
