Yesterday we went to see the Brewers game. It was the final exhibitiongame before the start of the regular season. Kris happened to hearsomething about it on the radio, or TV, about a week ago. All tickets were $10, so it was a cheap, family outing. The only down side was playing the White Sox. The seats weren't all that bad, We were in the 100 level, which was good. Now the bad part. We were on the third base side, and it was about 70% White Sox fans on the third base side. Some of them seemed to be nice. But then there were some other loud-mouthed chumps who were really annoying. And of course, everytime the White Sox did something good, or the Brewers did something bad, they were standing up cheering. It was almost like being at a Chicago home game.
Plus, were were on the aisle, so every time people walked up and down to their seats, they blocked our view. And because it was the last game, Roenicke was pitching by committee. I think that every pitcher in the bullpen pitched an inning. And the Sox were pretty much doing the same. We had a foul ball land about three rows in front of us, and in batting practice, there was a boy on the other side of our section who got hit with a screaming liner. At least it looked like it hit him. He wasn't too phased by it, so maybe it missed him.
It wasn't looking to good for the Brewers. They were losing 4-2 going into the 8th inning, and we were going to leave after the 7th so we could get home to watch the Marquette game. But we decided to give it one more inning. And it's a good thing that we stayed, because the Brewers put up a 3 spot in the bottom of the eighth to take a 5-4 lead. That allowed us to leave a little early and get home by half time of the Marquette game, though with the way that played out, it wouldn't have hurt to stay to see the Brewers close out the ninth.
