Brewers Fans Are Asking For Change…

Since the Brewers have made themselves into an actual National League Central threat over the past few seasons, the “rivalry” between Milwaukee and St. Louis has gotten stronger. Minus a late-season La Russa/Yost kerfuffle last season, the “rivalry” has been relatively well-tamed - mostly because the Milwaukee lineup in tolerable, and their fans aren’t stab-you-in-the-eye annoying, like one city due 100 miles South of Milwaukee.

That's how long it took Chris Jollay (seen to your right), the 36 year old Brewers fan, to get enough vacation saved up at his new job so he could spend the week being homeless. That's right. He lost a bet and had to go homeless. If Jollay won, then the single man would get to live ...
