It better be a frank apology.
I find it highly ironic this incident happened the very day that manhattan tells people not to open a Pirate thread.
December, lieu, your puns are simply in the wurst taste.
I’m sure the media will report it with relish.
I never sausage bad puns.
Maybe Simon was betting on the Braut??
Maybe he’ll wake up one morning with a ketchup-y corndog stick in his bed.
Deep Thought, by Jack Handy…
“If you ever find yourself rolling around on the ground in a sausage costume because someone hit you with a baseball bat, you’ll have to ask yourself, ‘How did I wind up in this situation?’, and you’ll have some explaining to do to yourself”
According to ESPN , the incident is officially closed.
MSN.com headlines the story: “Sausage beef with ballplayer over”
You think you’re kidding, but much money changes hands in Miller Park after the sausage race.
BTW: the results are in from the prosecuters: disorderly conduct, $432 fine. Sounds about right.

Simon was probably just a big Ramones fan
Beat on the Brat
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat
Beat on the brat with a baseball bat
Oh yeah, oh yeah, uh-oh.
What can you do?
What can you do?
With a brat like that always on your back
What can you do? (lose?)
And in further news, the Italian won today (although it was a different guy in the suit). When the ballpark announcer said “And they’ve passed safely by the Pirates dugout!” the crowd cheered.
I hate to break this to you bordelond, but Randall Simon has played in Detroit and Pittsburgh most of his career; how can his name be tainted any further???
I love the detailed review of the tape. “Back, and to the left. Back, and to the left.”
My favorite parts of several more views than I would care to admit:
–The chivalry of the unidentified tube meat that stayed behind to help
–The selfish hot dog who carries on with the race but looks back occasionally as pangs of guilt wash over her bun
–The way the heads of the other weiner-types whip around when the Italian Sausage and Hot Dog go down
Also worth of note: The career days had by every headline editor at every little newspaper in America; I recommend using Google News to find your favorite. Mine is: “Pirate Grilled in Sausage Attack”, but I also like “Pirate Attacks Costumed Sausage”, with its implication that the woman in the costume was actual a sausage.
But by far the best part: This quote in the AP article that first ran about this fanatastic, once-in-a-lifetime incident:
Yes, Ryan. Someone had to. “Go on without me–I’ll only slow you down.”
I’m just glad she wasn’t knocked worse.
Mr. Borghoff needs to be in a commercial or something with that Australian short-track speedskater.
After she got back up, was she able to catsup to the other runners?
You’re not Keith Olbermann, are you?
Bacon, to the left…
Before the race his teammates lied and said knocking the hat off the sausage lady was a tradition. In other words, they condiment to it.
