Boys of summer..

So I went to this crazy baseball game on Saturday night. I got to tailgate, which was great. I can’t tell you when the last time was I tailgated. I mean the real, park in the parking lot, bring a mini grill, have some beers and brats type of tailgate.

It was great. So great, in fact, that we already decided to do it again in 2 weeks. Of course, the reason I have to go to that game is because they’re giving away a bobble head of the catcher, complete with removable mask. And we have to go get that because we already have a pitcher and a hitter, so if we have the catcher, then there’s a whole set! (can you tell this isn’t my idea?)

So we had this great tailgate that couldn’t have been easier and I was complimented on the spread, some guy said “Wow, I guess you’ve done this before.” And some lady stopped by our car not once, but twice to comment on my table. I was quite proud of our tailgate!

Anyway, we decided to keep score because he never has and I’ve only ever done it once. We seriously couldn’t have picked a worse game to pick score during.

Our first pitcher technically didn’t notch any innings. He gave up 5 runs and never got an out, so we pulled him. Four singles, a walk and a double. He was responsible for 6 runs in the first inning.
We went through 8 pitchers. We made 2 double switches. There were 26 total runs scored and 28 hits. I tried to find the official scorecard online, but I didn’t find it. I’m sure it was ugly, but not as horrific as ours.

The final score was Milwaukee 10, Minnesota 16, but trust me, that’s only because of the 3 home runs we hit. We’re lucky if we strung 2 or 3 hits together in an inning. It was not pretty.

At least they pulled it together with a win yesterday. Carlos Lee got out of his mini-slump with a 2 run double. We swept the Phillies, the hottest team in baseball then interleague came and we were done. Stupid stupid Minnesota. I knew I hated them for a reason.
