The Brewers Meet The Furries
When the Milwaukee Brewers played in Pittsburgh this week, they ended up staying at the same hotel as a Furry Convention. (It's actually
the Furry Convention.)
That's Bob Uecker and one of them above. The notion of the Milwaukee Brewers hanging out in the same hotel as
Furries might seem funny to you, but
not to Brewers broadcaster Jim Powell.
Virtually everyone, even those who looked otherwise "normal", had a tail sticking out of their clothes in the back. Players and staff reported neighboring rooms generating loud animal noises, barking and other, deep into the night. At first it was kind of funny to see these people wandering around the downtown streets and filing into the hotel, but after the novelty wore off it just made everyone feel creepy. The "furries" seem harmless enough, but people who think they might be an animal trapped in a human body just are unnervingly odd, to say the least.
Perhaps this is why the Brewers struggled so much in Pittsburgh this week; it can be difficult to sleep when you're hearing howls of Furries all night. It can be difficult to sleep just thinking about it now, actually.

Racehorse War Emblem is Gay
War Emblem's problems in the breeding shed have gotten worse. There will be no foals sired by the 7-year-old champion son of
Our Emblem born in 2007. The 2002 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr. I) winner has been reluctant to cover mares ever since he entered stud in 2003 at the Shadai Stallion Station in Japan.
"Shadai Stallion Station tried to show more than 100 mares to War Emblem this year, but he covered only one, and that mare is not in foal," said Naohiro Goda of the Regent Company.
War Emblem had four foals in his first crop, more than 40 in his second, and only two in his third (born in 2006).
"This is not a good thing for us, but this happens in the horse business," said Teruya Yoshida of Shadai. "We've tried many things. Sometimes they've worked, but this year, almost nothing."
Asked about War Emblem's future, Yoshida said: "With the horses here, we take care of them, and we try. People in Japan were expecting very much of War Emblem. There is a very small chance that will happen, but we will keep trying."
One possibility that Yoshida said he would consider is to stand War Emblem at a farm in the United States that has expertise in or the willingness to handle problem stallions. "Some farms have contacted us in that way," he said.
