Brewer Game

Yesterday Ryan and I went tailgaiting with his family. His Grandpa had organized the afternoon, and it went really well, minus the few drizzles that came down during the tailgait. However, one of the nice features of Miller Park is that it has a retractable roof, so that by the time we went in for the game, the roof had been closed and we were able to enjoy the atmosphere. The Brewer's have been in first place for sometime now, until the recent Cubs surge that has got us actually having to PLAY in order to keep our rank. Earlier on in the week the Cubs took the number one slot for a day, until we ended up winning and reclaiming the title. Now every game is one where we seem to be rooting against the Cubs and rooting for the Brewers. Unfortunately for us, the Cubs pulled off a game yesterday and so there was a tension throughout most of our game of whether or not we'd win and keep the lead. The Phillies were beating us until the 8th with my favorite player, Prince Fielder, hit a two run jack which put us ahead 6-5. Miller Park erupted and it was one of the loudest and most energetic games that I've been to yet (something like the 23rd sellout this season for the Crew). It was a great environment, but the best play of the game came from Corey Hart who had to extend all 6ft 6inches of his body up and over the wall to catch a ball from being a home run! It was a fantastic catch, and again the place erupted. The Brewers were able to hang onto the lead and ended up winning the game. Ryan and I, along with the whole family had a great time and I'm looking forward to going back again next year.

Ryan's at the game this afternoon in order to pick up another Bobblehead. It's another sellout, and the Crew is going for a sweep of the series against the Phillies. It should be fun for him and Mike, and I'm looking forward to getting some cleaning done. :) 2 weeks left of work at the clinic to go, then 2 weeks off before the new job starts. It should be a fun rest of the summer.
