Opening Weekend!

Friday:

Noonish, finally back at slims, a quick beer or two and a massive smile on my face.  Hop on the slimo, destination Braves 2.  There I encounter some more beer and 75 yards away stares the big green monster left outfield wall of Miller Park.  As time ticks closer to first pitch, I can't control my excitement and head in to the game before the other 5 guys in our group.  MVP, MVP, MVP  Lineups announced, players hit the field and a 6 year old saying words Ive been waiting for months to hear....PLAY BALL.

Quick start for the NL Champs, 2 quick runs, the crowd was in the game, and then the world series champs flexed their Pujolsless muscles.  As the game moves on, so does yogos ERA.  At one point I am sure I saw 32.25.  

Stayed to the bitter end, even after 7 scoreless innings by the Crew with a little razzle dazzle at the end.  Day one, in the books, thank god there are 161 to go.

Saturday

Perfect weather, nice small tailgate before the game and in to the game for the first time in our 10 game pack seats.  Much better game today, bats were on and Grienke was on his game.  Hart put on a nice show and T-Plush starting the game.  Fast game and pretty clean.  Only disappointment was both Gonzales and Ramirez were still hit less after 2 games.

Sunday:

Free tickets, sec 224 Row 2....nice way to finish the opening weekend sweep.  S-L-O-W game, Wolf had no control over his pitches, bats were ice cold and our defense was all but extinct.  Lynn had a great showing, great start for a former reliever.  Highlight of the game was between Harts monster HR and Aoki's first ML hit.  I like Lil Irchiro, he will be key once Hart hits is cold spell in a month or two.  But dont get me wrong, I love hart when he is hot.

Weekend wrapup

Pros:

Um Opening weekend, duh

Great to be back home, away from home away from home.

Hart, Grienke and Weeks 

Lots of Beer

Cons:

1-2, would have really liked to take the series.

Ugly defense all series

Ramirez, Gonzales, Yogo and Weeks (5ks)

Brewers Run Against was the second worst in baseball so far (Tigers have the least)

With being at the games all weekend, and all of the middle of the afternoon games, I didnt get to watch many of the other games.  I caught myself constantly checking the score of the DET-BOS series.  First great series to being with, all 3 games were very close and exciting and Prince stat watching.  Why I care how Fielder does, I'm not sure.  Maybe its because I don't have a lot of faith in Gamel even though he has a decent weekend.  The Rangers looked great Sunday night, what a blast by Hamilton.  

Brewers at Cubs tonight on ESPN and Darvish starting for the Rangers tonight.  Should be a good night for baseball!!!!
