I now say live because somemone close to me said, "You were hatched well before the first one so technically this is your second go of the playoffs." True, Gavin, but this is my first LIVE viewing.
Okay, so, while I was distracted by the cute baby behind me I was also distracted by the mother of a two week old in front of me. Obviously, she loved baseball because not supporting the child's head she jumped up and down and spilled beer on this you one's noggin. To say the least, if it was a weekday, I would have called social services.
Also, the the young woman who felt that becoming a fan on Oct. 1st was better because you can now hold a sign that says in 2nd grade handwritting "It ain't over til Braun says so" (til Braun says was red to identify what station she wanted to be on) and cheer Come on, Pitcher until your boyfriend, your mother or creepy mom's boyfriend correct you and say his prper name or tell you that is the wrong team. P.S. to her mother; do not buy and underage girl beer, she will spill it and then pretend to be drunk to get out of being hauled off by Event Services for being obnoxious.
Overall, the air was filled with towel lint, cheers and jeers. I loved the fact that at any given moment I had 42,000+ friends. Wherever I went in the stadium, we gave each other high-fives, and screamed "Go Brewers!" It was a great time to be a fan. After all the ridicule from Cubs fans and from Packer fans, finally I can say, "Brewers went to the playoffs." They may say, "yeah but..." But nothing, PLAYOFFS.
As my ladyfriend and I walked closer to the stadium, a rush of emotion came over me. No I did not weep. My grandfather's birthday was October 1st, the same as the start of post season. He taught me everything Brewers. If he was still with us, he would be holding the extra ticket not her. Sorry, hon.
Going into the park was exciting, electric was in the air and there was a buzz never felt before since 1982. Truely something that could only be experienced there.
When I got the tickets up until the game on Sunday, I felt, win or lose, the Brewers went to the playoffs, I got to see them, and they won. After the game, I was a bit sad that I will not be seeing my ball team go to the playoffs further but I knew that in a few months they will be back at it.
To the Milwaukee Brewers, thank you for a wonderful season. Despite the highs and lows, I had a great time. I look forward to another rollercoaster ride to the playoffs.
