Brewers finally win a series

My attendance at today's game ensured a win for the Crew, giving their first series win in over a month. The last time we won a series was May 9, against the Washington Nationals. Since then we lost series to the Mets, the Phillies, the Twins, the Dodgers, and the Braves and we were swept by the Giants. At the end of the Nationals series we were at 24-10. Since then, we've been 8-15. The Brewers are a National League-best 21-10 at home

Our starting pitchers were superb this weekend. Despite getting absolutely screwed by the relievers, Chris Capuano was the king of yesterday's game. He had a career high 10 strikeouts and hit a home run.

Today, Ben Sheets struck out seven and walked one to move to 5-1 in his past seven starts. He pitched 6 shoutout innings.

Derrick Turnbow came in for the eighth and needed just 9 pitches to retire the side. Francisco Cordero remained perfect for saves, notching his 21st.
It wasn't all sunshine and lollipops, though, as we stranded the bases loaded two straight innings and had a total of 17 men LOB for the game.

Some pics from today:







Corey Hart. Sockless. Boo.












The Racing Sausages (and mini-sausages) exited the field right in front of us.









Chevy, an official sponsor of course, had a big display out front for the All-Star game.









































In relief under the paint was each team's logo. The truck had all the logos and each car had the appropriate logo for the league. This is hard to see, but it's the Brewers logo on the truck. (and a very clear view of my Bucky Badger bag)
