Ok, we knew it would happen eventually. Derrick Turnbow blew an outing. He's not perfect. Damn close, but not. Unfortunately, it had to happen on the night 45,150 fans turned up to collect Derrick's bobblehead doll, and the Brewers had rallied in the bottom of the 8th to cut a 4 run deficit.
The crowd was in an absolute frenzy going into the 9th inning. The Crew had tied the game with a 3 run shot from Corey Koskie, and a solo shot from Damian Miller. We knew without a doubt we were going to win that game because Turnbow is infallible. It just couldn't happen that he would blow his first win opportunity on his bobblehead night.
Well the gods were definitely not with Derrick last night. They sided, instead, with Paul LoDuca, who blasted a home run to give the Mets a one run edge that proved to be the nail in the coffin.
On the upside, Dana Eveland looked ok in his first outing of the season. He was pretty sharp in the first couple of innings, struggled a bit in the third, and lasted almost through the sixth. All of our starters got at least one hit last night, and we had the go ahead run at the plate in the 9th in the form of Corey Koskie. Home plate umpire Tim Tschida took the bat away from Corey, however, calling third strike looking to end the game.
Even though our team lost, it was still a good game, and I had a great time in the bleachers with my new friends, Leah, Jeff, and Sharon. Leah, you never told me your husband's name! I look forward to seeing a winning game with you guys in June!
Well the game is on and our Brewers are about the pick up their bats. Doug Davis is on the mound today against Pedro Martinez. Fingers are crossed that the Crew can pull out a win for this series. Until next time, go Brewers!
