2017-09-13: Pirates (Glasnow) at Brewers (Anderson) 7:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 8-2]

Chien-Ming and Wei-Chung are both from Taiwan. The former is pronounced Wang, can we really be sure ours is really pronounced Wong?

 

Go to two random places in Wisconsin and ask how to pronounce Mueller.

 

Miller vs Mueller does not cost you any jokes so that's not the same comparison. Why would the English translation use an "a"

Hawthorne runs along the river and is a few blocks from the lake. The other side of town that I live on.

 

Yeah, I honestly don't remember a lot of it. I haven't been there in probably 20 years. I remember the fountains in the park and we always loved going to Hardee's because they had a big ball pit we could play in and we would always go to Evans which was a jack of all trades store I think with a decent selection of toys.

Baseball Reference lists WONG as the correct pronouncing for both and I seem to remember hearing Chien-Ming pronounced as WANG and WONG but WONG more often.

I went to school with a kid who spelled his last name Wang, but it was pronounced Wong.

Sadly the Hardee's was torn down and is now a Family Video. The owners of Evan's retired and closed it (although the ones in Sheboygan Falls and Kewaunee? are still open) and it's a thrift store. The fountains are still here though!

Oops you are right. I will choose ignorance and continue with Wang for my own amusement

Well, 1 out of 3 ain't bad.

Feels like every off day lately - whether for the Brewers or for the teams we are chasing - has resulted in us losing a half game in the standings. Here's hoping that changes tomorrow.

Jaso would definitely have blown off a series in August '69 to attend Woodstock.

Lol. Literally said something very similar to my buddy last night when we were out watching the game. He is a casual baseball fan and asked who the guy with the dreads was and if he was an actual pirate in the off season.
