GO BREWAHS!
This past week has been nuts... Prince Fielder's walk-off two-run homerun on Tuesday. Tied the Mets for NL Wild Card with a two-hit game win on Wednesday. Ryan Braun's grand slam walk-off homerun on Thursday. Rickie Weeks' pinch hit two-run homerun on Friday against the Cubs giving us a one game lead on the Mets. Losing Saturday in a tough loss causing us tie with the Mets again. And then a complete game by CC Sabathia and a two-run homerun by Braun in the 8th leading us to win against the rival Cubs and ultimately letting us go to the playoffs.
Yesterday felt like a religious experience. Everyone around you praying that the Brewers make it to the playoffs. All of us wanted the same exact thing. After we watched CC Sabathia get the final two outs (double play), everyone went nuts. We then watched the Marlins vs Mets game on the jumbo tron. The final out of that game was almost a homerun, but thank god it wasn't. I can't even explain what happened after that. I was literally shaking from all the adrenaline. I saw grown men cry tears of joy after the Brewers clinched the NL Wild Card. I'm surprised I didn't cry, but I must admit that I was VERY close.
Gabe Kapler and Tony Gwynn, Jr. sprayed us with champagne (we were in the first row, field level). Confetti flying everywhere. Just thinking about me gives me the chills. Apparently Alyssa and I were on TV several times and we had our picture taken a lot. And Cary and dad were on TMJ4. I can't believe we were seriously part of Milwaukee history.
I really hope we do well in the playoffs. But if we don't, that's okay.
