Brewer Game Recap
Another review of another Brewer Game. If you're not a baseball fan, might as well move on.
The Milwaukee Brewers played host to the New York Mets last night at Miller Park. As dictated by the Jannene Constitution of Professional Baseball, tailgating is a must. Superb brats were provided by one Chris Burrow, Langan steped up with the grill, and myself with the chips and pop. A great meal it was, nothing beats a few Johnsonville Brats before a big game, and a big game this was. There was eleven of us in total by the time we were ready to head in for the game.
The Brewers had a decent amount on the line for this game. A win would give them an eight-game winning streak and a chance at another series sweep. A loss would potentially send them from second to third in the National League Central Division. Doug Davis was on the mound for the Brewers vs Victor Zambrano of the Mets. Things were looking good for the Crew going into the game, especially since Overbay had a 12-game hit streak going and the team has really had the bats going as of late.
Unfortunately, after jumping out to a 1-0 lead the team began to look like the Brewers of old with Davis giving up six runs. Zambrano would fair a little better, giving up only three runs. Lyle Overbay's hitting streak, despite all the cheering I was doing for him, was snapped at 12 games. New Brewer Carlos Lee looked pretty good with an RBI double and a solo-homer both off Zambrano. When it came time to stand and deliver though, Lee came up just short.
With two out and three on in the bottom of the ninth Lee had a chance to win the game for the Brewers with what could have been a walk-off grand slam. A spectacular finish it would have been, but three ninth-inning victories in a row was just too good to be true. With two strikes Lee ended the game with a fly ball to left field. Overall, I was still very impressed with his efforts, along with the batting performance of the rest of the team. Anytime the Brewers put four runs on the board they should have a chance to win.
After all was said and done this time, it was another great fan experience at Miller Park. Perhaps it's because I'm slowly becoming a baseball fanatic, perhaps it's the smell of beer in the air (that I ironically don't even drink), or maybe it's the brats in my stomach, but nothing is better than a trip to Milwaukee to see the Brewers.
