Brewers Pirates Game

We decided to get Brewers tickets for today's game when the season started because it's five county deal days.  Because we are funding the stadium, we get half price tickets for a week once a year, and since we're sort of snobby when it comes to our seats, it's a good time to go.  We ended up right behind the plate, about 20 rows up.  In fact when we got there, the seats looked a lot like where we sat the last time we went to a game (though I don't remember exactly when that was).

We got lucky because Kyle Lohse was pitching, and also the Brewers were playing the Pirates, which recently has been a pretty good proposition that they would win.  It was actually a pretty close game.  The Brewers weren't putting up much offense and then they ended up getting a couple of extra runs when Scooter Gennett struck out and got to third because the catcher dropped the ball and launched the ball into right field when trying to secure the strikeout at first base.  I told the girls to remember that play because I am willing to bet it will be a long time before they see someone get to third base on a strike out.  It was one of the most bizarre plays they will ever see (and one of the most bizarre I have ever seen too).

And since it was Sunday, it was Sausage Relay Day.  The Polish got off to a huge lead and then tagged off the "Little Polish".  Unfortunately for him, the Little Hot Dog made up serious ground when he got tagged off, resulting in a Hot Dog win.  So Hot Dog has 3 wins so far this year (I think) taking a serious lead for the season.

 

Milwaukee ended up winning, 4-1 and have the best record in the majors.  Let's hope this lasts and we can actually get someplace in the playoffs this year.
