St. Louis vs. Milwaukee on Capitol Hill Too
Clay & Moore Place Friendly Wager as Rally Squirrel Warms Up for Game 3
Washington, DC – As the National League Championship Series resumes tonight at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, U.S. Representatives Gwen Moore (D-WI) and Wm. Lacy Clay (D-MO) are making a friendly wager on which team will win the pennant and advance to the World Series.
If the St. Louis Cardinals win, Congresswoman Moore will provide Congressman Clay’s staff with a case of Budweiser and a selection of Milwaukee’s finest bratwurst.
If the Milwaukee Brewers are victorious, Rep. Clay will provide Rep. Moore’s staff with a case of Miller High Life and deep dish pizza from Pi, a legendary St. Louis pizzeria favored by President Obama.
“There is no doubt that the Brewers will win the next three games, but I need to call Brewers Manager Ron Roenicke right away and tell him just how dire this situation is,”Rep. Moore said. “I am loathe to purchase Budweiser. The only beer I ever buy or drink is High Life.”
“The Cardinals are on a roll; Albert is awesome; Chris Carpenter is warming up; and the Rally Squirrel is ready, said Congressman Clay. And I am surprised to learn that they actually brew beer in Milwaukee!”
Game Three of the National League Championship series is slated for 7:05p.m CDT this evening at Busch Memorial Stadium in St. Louis. The series is tied at one game apiece.
