Milwaukee Brewers game
Mike Sinelli and I had originally planned to have dinner with a friend in the Milwaukee area. When he called at lunch and said he would have to cancel, we decided a Milwaukee Brewers game would be a good idea. As we drove to Milwaukee from Madison, I used Google SMS to find out if there would be a home game, and to get the number for the box office. I love Google SMS!
We then had to decide on dinner. At first, we thought about going to Karl Ratzsch's for dinner, but ultimately decided to eat at the park. We grabbed bratwurst's at the TGIF's inside the park. We then went and watched batting practice and the ground crew prepare the field.
The game was Ben Sheet's first game back from injury. He had a terrific outing, but left the game in the 7th with the score tied at 1. The Pirates jumped on Dave Bush in the 8th for 5 runs and won the game 6-1.
On a more important note, Guido the Italian Sausage, won the Sausage Race.
Correction: Brett Wurst, the Bratwurst, won the race.
UPDATE: I also forgot to mention that the Brewer's lone run came courtesy of a Prince Fielder home run. I got to see Bernie Brewer go down his slide.
