Curse of Hank the Dog

[AZBrewCrew]

Im not a stathead by any means...but what has our record been since Sept 13th 2014? That is the day the first Hank bobblehead was given away. It seems like mid September was when we absolutely tanked. I know baseball is pretty superstitious and im probably way out in LF on this...or maybe not??

[Outlander]

They were cashing in on Hank long before that and were pretty good after Spring training so it is hard to blame the dog for this one.

I can buy this theory, anything to make that darn mutt go away is ok by me...

The actual dog I don't mind...but all the merchandise and now the mascot version of Hank are extremely over the top and unnecessary. How many mascots does one team need? We currently have eight at this point (five racing sausages, Bernie, Barrelman, and "Hank").

How dare you forget about the Rally Rabbit!

Is that thing actually still around? I don't remember off hand.

Maybe if the Brewers offered Hank up to some baseball God as a type of sacrifice, we could reach that all important .500 mark by the end of the year, thus reaching the true potential of this team (as constructed).

Don't forget Bernie's mother, and does Bonnie Brewer count?

Jobu needs a sacrifice.

And Jobu would never settle for a stuffed Hank. Ever.

True. Maybe we can convince a millionaire to launch him into space.

Mentioning Hank The Dog should be a bannable offense.

Well, the Brewers are 107-126 (.459) in regular season games since Hank was introduced on opening day 2014. However, since the Hank bobblehead giveaway on Sept 13th, 2014, the Brewers are 30-55 (.353). Since Hank's second bobblehead giveaway on May 10th, 2015, the Brewers are 15-25 (.375). Since Hank the Dog met Hank Aaron on August 21, 2014, the Brewers are 36-70 (.375). Looks like a pretty obvious curse to me.

I can't believe there were two separate Hank bobblehead days. Who collects all these stupid bobbleheads? It's just more junk your kids will toss out when you die.

I've noticed another: the curse of BA saying something positive about a Brewer during a game.

The Timber Rattlers did one this year too,,,

 

Brewers have now done 3 (counting the marathon hank bobble) Hank SGA bobbles.

 

That makes 4, not counting all the Bobbles of the month this season, and the one from last year. (So glad I didn't buy into the bobble of the month nonsense)

 

UUUUGGGGHHHHH!

 

So sick of that little mutt...

I have no problem with the dog. It's the way they keep promoting it that's annoying. It was a cool story at first but the story should've ended after the dog was adopted.

 

Another thing that kind of annoys me is the Molitor bobblehead for a Twins game. Yeah I get it, he was basically a career Brewer and they want him to be part of it but the dude is the opposing manager right now. It looks really stupid when you're celebrating a former player when he's with an opposing team. We might as well have a Mark Reynolds bobblehead when the Cardinals come to town. Maybe make it where there's a ball right in front of home plate with Reynolds swinging at it.
