Final Warm Up

Today was the final warmup before the start of the 2017 baseball season and as we have done in the past, we got tickets for it.  Our seats were just on the third base side behind the plate.  We were essentially looking up the 1^st base line.  What would be a $75 ticket for $10, plus we got food vouchers.  Not too shabby.

It was a little chilly, since it was only in the upper 30’s outside.  But overall not too bad.  And the Brewers did a pretty good job.  Although, you also have to look at it as a spring training game, which is hard to do when you are sitting in Miller Park.  But essentially there were a lot of players that won’t be on the opening day roster playing, and you also need to consider the pitching is still not going to be all that great as the managers are still trying out guys.  But Milwaukee went into the late innings ahead.  Then the bullpen essentially choked and the White Sox tied the game in the 9^th.  Luckily, Milwaukee was able to pull it out be getting a final run in the bottom of the inning.

Overall, it was fun, however just like with Cubs fans, the White Sox fans that made the trip up I-94 for the game were loud, drunk, and obnoxious.  There was a guy sitting two rows behind us who was yapping when Rene Garcia ended up getting hurt in a collision at the plate.  The best part was walking past him on the way out after the Sox lost and mouthing off.  If I remember correctly, Kris said something along the lines if “sucks doesn’t it?”.  HA!  That made me laugh.
