Of all the games to not go to. I went last night, of course, and look what happened today. But then we couldn't look because this was one of the 40 or so games this season not on television. So only the 35,000 fans in attendance had the extreme joy of seeing our beloved Brewers hit five, count 'em, five home runs in one inning to go down in the record books as only the 5th team in baseball history to achieve that goal. The fans definitely got their money's worth today as the Brewers pounded the Reds 11-0.
I was listening at home, and couldn't believe my ears when I kept hearing Jim Powell say over and over "it's gone!" The Brewers definitely made up for the lack of offense last night! I hope they didn't overdo it and have plenty left for tomorrow. Doug Davis needs a win guys!
And talk about pitching. How about Dave Bush today? Nine complete shutout innings, only four hits, two walks and nine strikeouts. He even pitched in on the offensive with a base hit and a run scored. Sheets pitching into the 7th last night was big, but Bush tossing a complete game today was huge for the bullpen, giving them some much needed rest. I don't know about the rest of you, but that Overbay trade is looking better and better to me. Nothing against O, but Dave Bush and Gabe Gross have been tremendous additions to this Brewer lineup. Gross needs only one more pinch hit home run to tie the Brewers' all time record!
Since we're on the subject of great players, how about Damian Miller today? 4-4 today with a three run double, two more doubles , and a solo home run to top it off to give him 5 RBI's for the game. What a stellar day for Damian. Good job!
My favorite fielder Brady Clark finally hit his first home run of the season today. It looks like Brady is finally finding his stride. JJ Hardy, Bill Hall and Prince Fielder also contributed to the record setting (or rather record tying)4th inning today with their home runs.
What a day for Brewers baseball. Makes you almost feel sorry for Claussen. Almost. Go Brewers!
