Chorizo back in the freezer
2006-08-02 08:42
by Bob Timmermann

MLB has told the Milwaukee Brewers that they can't use the "Chrorizo" in their nightly sausage races, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

The Chorizo must wait 12 to 18 months to be approved by MLB's marketing division. The Chorizo was given a special dispensantion to appear in last Saturday's "Cervezeceros" promotion.

Somewhere in this world, someone has a job approving the use of a human being running around as a giant chorizo and to make sure it meets proper specifications.

I'm not sure what you need to put on your resume for that.

I'm almost quite certain that falls somewhere under Homeland Security.

Tell me this isn't a great country.

I think that it takes 12 to 18 months to be approved says a lot about why it took baseball so long to look into steroid abuse.

Meanwhile ... I'm sure the kielbasa is juicing!

So, can we definitively say then that the chorizo was sent packing?

Hey!

I'm going to Miller Park on August 24th.

And I already told my kid about the sausage race.

Including the new Chorizo.

AND HE NEVER FORGETS ANYTHING!!!

Can I send him up to Wendy's box when asks about the missing chorizo for the six thousandth time?

Bet this never would've happened if Bud still owned the team.

I'm guessing about half of all MLB players were given "special dispensation" in the '90s, if you know what I mean ...

Yeah ... I mean we all know Sosa had been stuffing the barrel of his bats with Chorizos!

2 Now c'mon. It's gotta be FDA or Agriculture. Homeland Security has control over those t-shirt shooters, but not the sausages.

Yeah well, what if you had a Chorizo chasing after you with the t-shirt bazooka? Or what if the kielbasa had a steroid rage episode and was chasing you and shooting Chorizos?

Lou Dobbs demanded to see the Chorizo's work permit.

"Chorizo, huh. Is that a foreign name?"
