The stupidest favor I may ever ask you

[Deleted]

Could you go vote for Miller Park in ESPN's battle of the ballparks?

espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8084525/battle-ballparks-championship-vote-mlb-bestr

Mostly because an ESPN writer just completely slagged Miller Park. I love that he refers to the smell of garlic fries and microbrews in San Francisco but completely neglects the awesome food options - including fucking poutine - and the abundance of microbrews available at Miller Park.

Yes, that's right. I'm asking you to vote in an online poll. For the best baseball stadium. Because. You know. THIS SHIT MATTERS. ::shameface::

[meshaliuknits]

Aww, man. You want me to vote against the local location? It's a nice park and the food really is good. Except the nachos. Their nachos blow. Best stadium nachos in the area are at the Colosseum (also home to honey dew flavored cotton candy), followed by the Shark Tank. ATT is a distant third.

No, I don't expect SF-area peeps to vote for MKE. But maybe everybody else could?

[UMaineTeach]

Dude, I was all in when I thought we were going to vote for you on ANTLawyer.
I'll have to think about ballparks

[dylanite]

As a Dodger fan I love SF's park but will be voting Chavez Ravine.

[meshaliuknits]

Also, because it's semi-relevant, ATT Park as seen from the outfield:

AT&T Can suck a fat garlic fry




But I'll show love to the MKE :beer:

[pixy0stix]

I voted, because I like to click things.

I have no doubt that SF's stadium is lovely. But while Jim Caple decided to mock them, I present you the oh-so-awesome Racing Sausages:

You married a Dodgers fan and I'M dead to you? I'm sorry, but it's true. I've made an extensive study of stadium nachos. The rest of the food there is to notch, though.

yup, and I don't like sports things named after tech companies, seems less downhome than beer and cigs (Miller, Winston)

[pescalita]

Honestly, of course I love AT&T but nostalgia will always hold the 'stick in a special place in my heart. Nothing quite says baseball like coming home with half your face windburnt and the other half sunburnt.

But now I feel like I need to go grab some nachos just to show them someone loves them.

Touche. That reminds me I need to get him a Giants outfit (thanks to my ILs, who forced me to put him in that vile blue and even recorded PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE, and so now I get to do the same).

[UMaineTeach]

I don't know about those Sausage guys
reminds me of the "I'm a culture; not a costume" Halloween uproar

but it would be funny to watch someone run in those suits

It's awesome.

Chorizo is doing amazingly well this season. I really would have thought the giant sombrero would have slowed him down.

I hear that if they'd put Candlestick two feet over in either direction they wouldn't get the swirling winds and the ball might stay on the damned tee.

Dude, I forgot about nachos at the stick. ATT is fourth. *ducks*

You had me at poutine. One more vote for Miller Park!

No love for Citi Field, I see. We have excellent fries too. AND A SHAKE SHACK.

[KateAggie]

Done.

Too bad I realized AFTER the fact that I should've asked you to vote for Mitt in trade.

Since we have a stadium, I just don't think I can do it.

Our team is terrible and I'm not sure our stadium is that awesome, but we do have the 2nd biggest ballpark TV after the one Cowboys stadium.

Yes, but the Royals just swept the Brewers even though our starting pitchers all had amazing outings during that series. It's not like KC's in the running anymore in this VERY IMPORTANT contest.

C'mon - small market solidarity!

Fuck it. I just voted. I will look for my cheese in the mail.

Awesome!

Just remember, there are only two cities in the finals. So you're not betraying your team when you vote for Miller Park. You're just supporting the little guy - San Francisco gets glory that flyover country can only dream about!

Um, you didn't mention cheese.

I love the sausage races. The pierogi races got nothing on 'em. BESIDES, the sausages were first.

I'll vote for Miller park because
1. it is awesome
2. has great food
3. has a great parking lot for tailgating
4. i hate wrigley field (no longer a contender i realize, but it SUCKS SO BAD - every seat is limited view, limited leg room, the food sucks, the bathrooms suck, the beer sucks and the cool "rooftop" seats are like watching the game on tv. oh and their cool "united center" or whatever it is called is seriously lame. Oh yeah, and I hate the cubs. In case you didn't gather that already).

First, love the sausages (even though I am a Cardinals fan). They are fun

Second, my friend got married last summer and as her hubby is a huuuuge Brewers fan, so they got three of the racing sausages to come to the cocktail hour between their wedding ceremony and reception (I believe the cost was a donation to the Brewers charity). It was most awesome. The sausages hung out, took pictures with everyone, high fived kids and adult kids, and they raced the bride and groom down the street (I ran behind the bride, holding up my bridesmaid dress in one hand and her veil in the other). Bride and groom won. Much fun was had by all.

Sorry dude. My husband would kill me for that.

The freaking shadows.

Poutine sounds awesome though.
