Owen Emerges From Basement to Attend Brewer Game

Here’s a couple of pics from the baseball game yesterday.

From left to right, that’s Stevegg, Rep. Kramer, Rep. Vukmir, Rep. Zipperer, Rep. Lasee, and me.  Behind us is Ten Pence.  If you look closely on the ground behind Ten Pence is the Wisconsin Senate’s budget.

And here’s a nice shot of the game.

  1. I’ve seen that pig rolling around on our interstate system quite a bit lately.  My daughter thinks it’s hilarious.

    And you got to see a win, to boot.  Time well spent.

  2. Good to see ““The Keg” over-flowing back home.

  3. Hey, doesn’t posting that photograph violate the copyright of Major League Baseball, which claims not only to the things you saw, but to the very colors in which you saw it.

  4. No you are not allowed to take video at an MLB game but you are allowed to take still pictures.  I had a very nice usher at Tropicana field explain this to me while I was video taping Prince Fielders first at bat as a Brewer in 05

  6. If you take a good look at Ten Pence, it’s so bloated, it’s bursting at the seams.

  7. It’s SO NICE to see more rich white people. Please let me know when they plan to build another gated community.

  8. I got a nosebleed looking at your picture.
    Can’t politicians get better seats from someone?

  9. I have a better idea for “Ten Pence” On the front end, we put a big trough and label it “Government Taxing” on the back end, we put a bigger trough and label it “Government Spending” Then we add a few barrels to the sides of the trailer and label them things such as “Jim Doyles Pork Barrel” or the “Robson/Erpenbach Healthy Wisconsin Pork Barrel”

    I can also reassure Marc Jaynes that white people were not the only ones in attendance at this event and hardly anyone there was rich and I didn’t hear anyone talking about any gated communities.

    Lastly, there were no politicians that had anything to do with getting any tickets to this game. All of the money for this event was donated privately, as it should be.

    I actually sat in the very top row at Miller Park and the view is quite nice from up there.

  10. I hate that super bright flashing strip of advertisements, it seriously distracts from the game because of it’s incredible brightness.

  11. Matt, I’m with you on that.  Add in the insane speaker level (Orv, we were at the top, too—which means too close to the speakers; I am presuming that somewhere are seats farther from speakers), and add in the musical selections by some of the batters up to the plate, and I thought I was having a ‘70s disco flashback.  Read: a nightmare.

    I’m not going back without dark glasses and ear plugs.

    But then, Owen isn’t going back if we pass the proposed sales tax on his beer and brats.  Of course, he also said here that Milwaukee has nothing to offer him, and within a week, there he was at Miller Park. . . .
