The Italian sausage (No. 3, far left) is MIA. (USATSI)

Earlier on Wednesday the esteemed Dayn Perry told you about the missing Brewers' racing Italian sausage, which apparently walked out of Milwaukee Curling Club's new Cedarburg location during a fundraiser earlier this month. An unanonymous hero has emerged in the form of the Mustard Girl All American Mustards company, which is offering quite the reward to whoever returns the costume. Lydia Mulvany of the Journal Sentinel has the skinny:

Jennifer Connor, owner of the Pleasant Prairie-based company, said the links can't race without the Italian Sausage and must be reunited.

"I'm a super big fan, and I like to give them big squeezes all the time," Connor said. "We have to keep our Sausage Racers whole."

Whoever finds the costume will receive a case of mustard a month. A case has 12 bottles. The mustards are all-natural and gluten-free and come in five different flavors: Sweet 'n' Fancy Yellow, Stone Ground Deli, Zesty Horseradish, Sweet 'n' Spicy Honey, and American Dijon.

I'm not a mustard guy, but this is very clearly serious business. There is an Italian sausage on the loose in greater Milwaukee and the perpetrator must be brought to justice. Or the sausage has to be returned, one or the other.
