10 Things Milwaukee Brewers Fans Really Think About Minnesota

The Minnesota Twins are rolling out the welcome mat for thousands of baseball fans from Wisconsin this weekend as the Milwaukee Brewers head to the Land of 10,000 Lakes for a weekend series at Target Field. Here's what those fans are thinking!

The schedule makers at Major League Baseball have honored this border battle and interstate rivalry with two interleague series between the Twins and the Brewers each year.

The Funny Thoughts Wisconsin Visitors Have About Minnesota

That said, though, back when I lived over in western Wisconsin, I would often head over to Minnesota to see friends or spend some time in the Twin Cities. And, whenever I did, these thoughts went through my mind. And, yes, I see now that they ARE quite ridiculous.
