Hey, what do Prince Fielder and American macrobrews have in common? They ain't got no hops.

Hey, what do routine grounders and Alcoholics Anonymous members have in common? They tend to miss Weeks.

Hey, what do the Milwaukee Brewers and beer jokes have in common? They're relevant, but disappointing. Your Brewers Dugout is after the jump.

The Dugout

**OnlineHost** Welcome to Milwaukee Brewers Chat!

TheFreshPrince: (Hey guys, Trevor's new here. I think he's had enough to drink.)

TheFreshPrince: Wiclo? You mean Wilco?

Trevorsty: YES

FREAKNIG JEFF TREVOR IS THE BEST GUITARTS

Trevorsty: Okay fine yuo word nazi. I will type correctly. Jeff Twedy is the best gutarist.

TheFreshPrince: All right, well, first off, Wilco is

Trevorsty: WICLO

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

TheFreshPrince: Wilco is a good band.

(Come on, guys.)

BraunRyansExpress: Yeah. Yeah! Wilco is all right.

Trevorsty: Frekaing. Wilco.

BraunRyansExpress: I mean, their album "A.M." is pretty boring

Trevorsty: MA IS RETARTED

BraunRyansExpress: Right. Right on! And after that, there was "Being There."

RickiesWeak: Which! Hey, which that was a pretty good album!

TheFreshPrince: Kind of hit-and-miss, but "Sunken Treasure" is a great song. No doubt about it.

Trevorsty: AND THE IXS NO SDNUKL RRESURE

ANd then the guitra comes in

RickiesWeak: Yeah. Right on, man.

Trevorsty: my gfirst grilfriend said that iasc was she w

Trevorsty: wa s heartbrkoen over that snog and she said trevor i want you in the pink

RickiesWeak: Whoa. Whoa, okay. Yeah, that was a good song.

TheFreshPrince: And after that they released "Summerteeth". Remember that?

Trevorsty: no

RickiesWeak: no

GwynnLoseOrDraw: no

Machavelli: no

Trevorsty: NO

TheFreshPrince: no

TheFreshPrince: After that, they released "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot." They went big with that album.

BraunRyansExpress: With good reason, too! It was a great album. "Ashes of American Flags"...well, that's just a well-crafted song.

Trevorsty: I WSA REMEMBER ONE TIME I WENT TO AN ATM AND TRDIE TO WITHDARW $3.63

RickiesWeak: No you didn't.

Trevorsty: LLO NO

BraunRyansExpress: (How much longer before he's off to bed, guys?)

RickiesWeak: (Can't be much longer, he's, like, 47 years old.)

Trevorsty: THe best albunm is A ghot is born;

TheFreshPrince: Of course! "A Ghost Is Born" was a masterpiece. Honestly, if it weren't for this album, I wouldn't have ever taken Wilco seriously.

TheFreshPrince: I can't really cite a specific song. It's all great. They call it Wilco's "Kid A," and honestly? I kind of hate to say it, but "A Ghost Is Born" is put together so well that it deserves to be placed in that category.

Trevorsty: KID W IS CKUFING BORING AS SITH

BraunRyansExpress: You're right, though. If I had to put together a top-10 list of albums released in this decade, "A Ghost Is Born" might have to be on it.

BraunRyansExpress: then again, there's also "the moon and antarctica" by modest mouse, "change" by the dismemberment plan, "real gone" by tom waits, "stankonia" by outkast, "superwolf" by bonnie prince billy, "cripple crow" by devendra banhart, "()" by sigur ros, "the crane wife" by the decemberists, "for emma, forever ago" by bon iver, "fleet foxes" by fleet foxes, and dozens of others i'm forgetting

RickiesWeak: oh, good to know the pitchfork mafia's up in here

Trevorsty: A GHOST IS BORN WAS KIND OF WIERD

TheFreshPrince: Uh, yeah, it was pretty weird, for real. Sky Blue Sky was pretty cool, right

Trevorsty: YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Trevorsty: /vomits

Trevorsty: im feelign kind of sick

Trevorsty: ill be honest

Trevorsty: i havent built up a tolerance yet

TheFreshPrince: For alcohol, right? Because we're the Brewers?

Trevorsty: no i just haven't built up a tolerance for losing yet

TheFreshPrince: Oh. Keep going, you'll get it.

Trevorsty: /vomits
