Mood Music: Africa by Toto
The Yankees are in Milwaukee to face the Brewers for a three game series in Miller Park. The Yankees have not been regular visitors to Milwaukee in some time, although Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting here in the late 16th century. Fun fact: Milwaukee is an Indian name. In fact, it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."

In case you couldn't tell by the theme of today's Fun Questions, it's our Khaleesi's birthday today. Rejoice! This should be a thread of celebration and joy, of glee and song, and most importantly one of victory and triumph. That last one is directed at the Yankees. A win on Waffles' birthday is the least you can give her. Thankfully, she has Masahiro Tanaka on the mound tonight in Miller Park. It's good that he's pitching. It's concerning that he's batting (see Chien-Ming Wang 2008). It won't be easy, as the Brewers are currently tied for the best record in the National League and the second best record in the majors.
Happy Birthday Tanya and Let's Go Yankees!
