Day 7, Game 4: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Nationals, 8/08

Wow, the traffic is getting bad. We headed from St. Louis to Chicago to pick up tickets and then a 3 hour drive to Milwaukee. It's been 393 awful miles and we've been in the car all day. Fortunately, our trip was made easier by a stop at Mar's Cheese Castle in Kenosha.














Tonight's game looks to be well worth it. It's a sold out Friday night game with the Brewer's CC Sabathia on the mound. Yee-ha.

Took a bus from the hotel downtown right to the stadium. Our seats were up high off the third base line, but offered great views. After the 6th inning, we moved to the main level and found some great SRO views.



Miller Park was surprisingly nice. The fans were pumped up. And Sabathia was unreal, with a 103 pitch complete game shut-out. We might have crawled to Milwaukee for this. Wow. What a game. Brewers 5, Nats 0.

The Brewers are now 2 games up in the wild card race. It's been 26 years since Milwaukee saw a playoff game, and from the looks of it, they are pig biting mad about their post-season prospects.

Here's some other great moments from the game.


























We met these wonderful Wisconsin ladies on the bus. They keep in touch by seeing a Brewers game once a year.













Sausage Race: The winner got a case of Miller, the losers were fed to CC Sabathia.
