¡Hola, Chorizo!

Brewers look south of the border for new racing sausage

Hey, Hot Dog, Bratwurst, Italian and Polish sausages, guess who's coming to dinner at Miller Park? Meet the Chorizo, a zesty Mexican sausage.

On Thursday, the Milwaukee Brewers and Klement's Sausage Co. are expected to introduce the Chorizo as the newest member of the Famous Racing Sausages, according to a source with knowledge of the promotion.

The sausages, which emerged sometime in the early 1990s at old County Stadium in virtual scoreboard races, have attracted national attention and are a huge fan favorite at Miller Park.

During the 2000 season, the last at County Stadium, the sausages went from virtual to live and began to race around the stadium.

Team officials and Klement's executives were not hungry for publicity Tuesday and remained tight-lipped about the announcement, saying more would be released at the Thursday news conference at Miller Park.

"Don't bank on anything until you see it live," said Dan Lipke, Klement's senior vice president of sales and marketing. "There are a lot of ways we can go with this."

Asked if the Chorizo would be the newest Racing Sausage, Lipke said, "I'm not laying claim that's what you will find."

The newest sausage mascot is expected to be adorned with a mustache and a sombrero and will sport the traditional colors of green, white and red.

At the game Saturday between the Brewers and the Cincinnati Reds, the Brewers will celebrate the first Cerveceros Day as a tribute to Hispanic baseball. Players will wear uniforms with the word Cerveceros, or Brewers, on their jerseys.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

It's curious. "Chorizo" is a Castillian word of Argentinean/Uruguayan (not Mexican) origin.

If you know some Castillian, let's go to this link of the Royal Spanish Academy and you'll find that there is not any "Mex" (Mexico) among all the meanings.

If they add swimming to the race the chorizo should win all the time :)

Seriously, there's a growing Wisconsin Hispanic population and sponsor Klement's Sausage is trying to tap that market.

Hmmmm...do you think we can get Lou Dobbs to wear the costume?

[Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008

Disturbing? Yes.

Delicious? No.

Entertaining? Hell yeah.
