MILWAUKEE -- Pittsburgh first baseman Randall Simon was interrogated by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department after a strange incident in which he struck a participant in the popular sausage race during Wednesday's game between the Brewers and Pirates.

The race, which takes place after the sixth inning, features runners wearing costumes of various sausages -- bratwurst, hot dog, Polish and Italian. As the runners passed the Pittsburgh dugout, Simon hit the Italian sausage with his baseball bat, perhaps harder than anticipated

I don’t want to know how you knew that 2003 thread even existed.

Nope.

Not a ping, but definitely another sausage fest.

Did somebody say "sausage fest"?

I hate being struck in the sausage race.

When I was little, that “skinless weiners” package used to make me cringe.

I tried keyword “sausage” first and got nothing, then “sausage” in the title and it was the next to last by date before old articles go wherever they go on the server. Another year might have been too late.

When "Swedish Flamingos Massacred by Frenzied Anteater Attack" gets 3000+ replies, you know something like this had to have been posted, probably at least three times.

He is a ghetto piece of #### for doing that.

Yes, it’s a strange story.

For those who were around for the original thread, maybe they remember that when we post, we should always off “italians” because they didn’t off themselves.*

*/odd and obscure reference. ;o)

Especially if one is deep in the Hultgren Forest.

Ahhhhh...I see.

Yer a n00b! lol

When I first joined, and for the first time saw my post in HUGE FONT and IN BOLD...I thought I broke the place! I couldn’t imagine what I had done to stand out like that! lolol

What interesting times those were.

No mods then...and I appreciate them more than you know.
