Went to another great Brewers game today.
Got a retro Cecil Cooper bobblehead. This now brings the bobblehead count to 4: Carlos Lee, Derrick Turnbow, Damien Miller and Cecil Cooper. I don't particularly like bobbleheads. They're pointless and they take up space, but for some reason I've amassed a collection this year. The Derrick Turnbow one is still creepy.
That's not the point though.
The point is that we won! On a walk off home run. Again! The Cardiac Kids Strike Again! This is, I believe, our 14th victory on the last atbat. That leads the majors. We have won 20 of 24 at Miller Park coming from behind.
The Brewers are back at .500 for the first time since May 30, but the Tigers are coming to town and they've got the hottest record in baseball. They scored something like 22 runs against the Cubs in the past 2 days.
But enough of the scary thoughts of the future, for now I revel in a sweep of the Tribe on Carlos Lee's first ever walk-off home run.
We won last night on a deep double by Geoff Jenkins that brought home Corey Hart to end the game.
By far the best moment of the weekend, though, came in last night's game, when Carlos Lee was up to bat, clearly swinging for the fences. The cut was so mighty, it took Carlos to the ground. He got up looking a little sheepish and smiling. He made it to base and eventually, over to 3rd. The cameras close in on him talking animatedly to the 3rd base coach and it's so clear he's explaining what happened. "I swung and I turned and my ankle .. and then I fell down!"
