When I saw Scott Mullins over at 88Nine Radio Milwaukee on Monday, he was excited about his bet with Jim McGuinn, his colleague over at Philly's WXPN, famous as the home station of World Café.
"While there are many reasons to pull for the Brewers including city pride, team spirit and the fact that this is their first playoff appearance in 26 years, I'm really looking forward to a cheesesteak from Sonny's," said Mullins (pictured below, hanging with yours truly and Italian singer Carmen Consoli). "C'mon, how can we lose? We have the racing sausages. The stakes are high. We cannot subject the city of Milwaukee to an hour of the Hooters."
Mullins and McGuinn are betting, of course, on the outcome of the Brewers-Phillies National League Championship series that started yesterday with a 3-1 Brewers' loss out east. If the Crew wins, Mullins gets an hour of airtime on WXPN and some cheesesteaks. If the Phillies win (and by the way, why is the Philly team named for female horses, exactly?), Mullins surrenders an hour of air at 88Nine to McGuinn and sends a stash of brats to the City of Brotherly Love.
The deal got started on Tuesday when WXPN played a track by Milwaukee's Kings Go Forth and Mullins played a track by a young Philly band.
If the Brewers don't step it up today in Philadelphia and this weekend here at home, Mullins better start getting the dry ice together.
"We're betting an hour of our airwaves on the Phils," McGuinn responded. "They've had such a great year so far we believe they can keep it going and take down the Brew Crew. Sausage races? Laverne and Shirley? No. We will bring it to RadioMilwaukee and can't wait to inject a little Dr. Dog and Dead Milkmen into their playlist when we stomp the Brewers."
