This week's edition is being published on Saturday which I do sincerely apologize for. I spent the last two days at Miller Park so I feel that is a very acceptable excuse. And now for the "day-late" edition of The Friday Five...

1.) Dedicated Brewer Fans

While watching the first of the Twins vs. Brewers broadcasts, I noticed some things about a few fans. The first one is this guy. Have you noticed that this guy is at every home game? I'm not sure how I noticed him, but whenever they go to a shot of a right handed hitter such as the way they captured Corey Hart, this guy is in the background. I would think it's fair to give this guy the "biggest Brewer fan" title and maybe some kind of hilarious oversized hat. Watch for him, add it to your drinking game. Each time you see him, take a drink.


2.) Annoying Brewer fans

In that very same game, for the first couple of innings, I noticed a lady on her cell phone waving at the camera. How is it people keep breaking this well known rule of baseball game etiquette? I don't get it. I feel that these people should be escorted out of the game immediately while some stereotypical German guy smashes their cell phones on the pavement. She may have been as I didn't see her after the 5th or 6th inning anymore.


3.) Somewhat creative Brewer fans

Speaking of hilarious oversized things, there was a dude in the front row with a giant baseball glove. Although something like this could get old if in the wrong person's hands (mentally challenged ballhawks), it provided me with a good chuckle when I first saw it. Nicely done giant glove guy.


4.) Entirely too nostalgic Michael Jackson fans

Now I have nothing against Michael Jackson or his music. He was easily one of the most influential and popular musical acts in history. What I have a problem with is that now, when I go to a bar, turn on the radio, or go anywhere public, I have to listen to song after song after song by this guy. We get it, he died. He made good music. Please mourn with his music with your iPod headphones. Personally, I'd prefer to hear old clips of Ed McMahon... Hiyo!!

5.) People that can't decide what kind of weather they are fans of

For the whole first half of June, I had to listen to people complain, or write Facebook updates complaining about how it's too cold for June and it's supposed to be Summer weather. For the whole second half of June, these same people did nothing but complain about how hot it was outside and how much they hated it. I can tell you that I was one of the people who was complaining about not having warm weather the first half, but I love the weather we've been having. I'd gladly sweat while just sitting in a chair rather than walk through two feet of snow in zero degree weather. I'll tell ya, it's a heck of a lot easier to not wear pants in warm weather than cold weather!
