Merry Christmas from BCB

Mlb-mbr-122-90_medium

via www.sportsfantreasures.com

Call this the Christmas edition of the Milwaukee Brewers open thread.  What did you get for Christmas?  What did Doug Melvin find under the tree?  And is anyone else a little concerned that Santa is robbing this little kid of his baseball and glove while he's sleeping?  It's Friday on a slow news week, so go to town (like Frosty!).

I actually got a Brewers Frosty Mug

It’s got that fake frosty look.. I’m not sure why. If I put it in the freezer to make it frosty, I’ll have no clue if it’s actually frosty or not.

that I will be using to pay for my 20 pack of Brewer tickets this year.

good call

you can pick all 20 games. Also, the 9 pack doesn’t have playoff priority or the option to select opening day as your free game this year. Unless you renewed.

Its always awkward explaining to people/family that I “know” you when the damn commercial comes on.

I got

the Brewers Reeboks that I wanted. I was shocked, especially after my aunt(the one that bought ’em for me) mocked me for wearing a Brewers t-shirt out of season.

My present is one that helps everyone here

“It Takes More Than Balls: The Savvy Girl’s Guide to Understanding and Enjoying Baseball.”

No more annoying questions and sayings from me :)

Little known fact

that’s Jamie in that video. He was the one crawling on the table.

Darn it, they’re no longer selling the scorebooks with the journaling sections. I was going to buy one for the 2009 season. It really would help out my scrapbooking.

The more I look

at the Christmas ornament on the main page, the creepier it is.

For one, Matt Wise: that’s what you’ll look like in a few years if you let your soul patch get out of control.

For two, as a former young lad who would fall asleep in his chair, I can tell you from experience that 8-year-olds NEVER take off their shoes before sitting in a comfy chair. (And if they did, they certainly wouldn’t put their muddy, dirty sneakers on the chair itself.) That means that someone else took the kid’s sneakers off and put them there - presumably, the leering old bearded man stealing his baseball and glove. There were always hints of something sinister with Santa - when he’s not kissing Mommy underneath the mistletoe, he’s spying on kids while they’re sleeping and adding their names to naughty and nice lists - but it’s rare to see Santa’s pedophilic shoe fetish displayed pictorially before, not to mention celebrated in an ornament.

Then again, it’s not like young Brewer fans haven’t been screwed on Christmas before, so why would now be any different?
