The Keg

The final game of the series was definitely not as exciting as the first two, and the fans weren't in it from the start. Even though Wednesday's finale of the series with the Yankees drew the most fans, 37,000+, the crowd was not as in to the game as it was the first two nights. Sure, the Yankees took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first because of an A-Rod bomb, but the Brewers got those 2 back right away in their half of the inning. Maybe the crowd was content with winning the series, and just wanted to go on Wednesday simply to be at the park. Either way, the energy was not in the Keg for the finale.

It was a beautiful night, a little too hot, but all in all, a great night for a ball game. Capuano was roughed up a bit and after Mussina found his groove, the Yankees rolled. Gary Sheffield continued to receive the best boos I have ever heard in my life, so that was entertaining it itself. We didn't stay for the whole game, because we didn't need to. After A-Rod hit his second home run in the 8th inning, Randy turned to me and said, "We can go", so we left. It wasn't until we were out of the Keg that I realized, hey we just saw A-Rod hit his 400th home run. Yep, we saw it and immediately left, but I can say I was there.

I finally got to see the Yankees win and thought Joe Torre getting thrown out was one of the best moments of the night because the home crowd finally had some energy. It was also nice to see the old regulars back in section 228. Those guys are fun to watch games with. Well, that's about it. Expect a huge rambling on Monday because I have a lot to talk about, like why Derek Jeter gets booed.
