Living the High Life, Indeed

I gotta say, the Brewers really do look good on the cover of Sports Illustrated, don't they? Say what you want about the magazine/newspaper industry as a dying medium, but while subscribers may have gone away, the allure of being on the cover of Sports Illustrated definitely hasn't. Possible SI Cover Jinx aside, it's great to see the Brewers finally back on the cover of the magazine, something that hasn't happened since Rob Deer of all people graced the cover back in 1997...

I actually have this issue framed in my apartment, an item which I sort of took from my parents basement just because I liked it so much. But I was three years old at the time this cover came out. That's a long time ago, but that's just how long the Brewers have been sort of one of the less talented teams in baseball. Happy to see them back on the cover, and I can't wait to pick up a copy and frame the new issue as well.

Oh, and in other news... Ten games up motherfuckers!
