This weekend was the first time I have ever been to three Brewers’ games in one weekend and it was definitely a lot of baseball. Game one was on Friday after work. I was going to be flying solo to the game after work but J got off of work at the last second and she ended up meeting up picking me up and we went together. Once we got to the park we met up with the other 25 people in our group and tailgated and had some brews. After we got our free throwback hats and found our seat we had neglected to the keep track of another important ingredient, our brew. So we made our way to TGIF which happens to be my new favorite place to watch a game because you see some crazy characters in there. This day was no exception. We found some off duty sheriff who sells memorabilia and replica/counterfeit baseball cards. I ended up talking to this guy for almost the whole game. I made it back to my seat once to partake in WI largest jager bomb that come in a bone glass. Once the game was over the Brewers won game one. I remember seeing a couple of the Packers in TGIF too so that was a bonus. I think after that we just headed home and went to bed.
Game two was going was one of the first tailgates that I was actually a part of the planning process. J’s dad and her sister were coming to Milwaukee to go to their first Brewers’ game. We had the whole thing planned out except one little wrinkle. Somewhere some wires were crossed and J told her dad the wrong start time for the game. Since there was no way they would be able to make it to the park on time we headed down ourselves and had a mini-tailgate and saved the major one Sunday. While at the park I remembered some of my high school buddies were down at the game for a bachelor party. So I gave them a ring and met up with the lushes. Once again we all hung out in Friday’s and this time I stayed fairly sober. This game the entertainment was watching the slow deterioration of my friends as they drank themselves stupid. The crew was getting their butts kicked all game but J’s fam arrived in the seventh and the crew rallied to tie the game back up. Her dad and sister got to see the best part of the game, well her dad did because Arianne was watching the inside of her eyelids most of the time. My aunt and cousin were up from Florida watching Craig play so I got to talk to them for a couple innings of the game. Once the crew won game two we headed home and rested up for game three. Game three was on dad’s day so there was no better way to spend the day than at the park. We finally got our full throttle tailgate together and with the salads, chips, meat, and the whole kitten caboodle. It was a gorgeous day. Sunday’s game we actually sat in our seat because they were free tickets from my cousin. We sat there had a few yards of daiquiri’s and took in the game. The crew couldn’t complete the sweep and we took two of three from the border rivals. The crowds were great for the entire weekend so it was a win win. After the game we headed to Rock Bottom for dinner and then went home to FINALLY do nothing for a little of the weekend. Beware, Summerfest ahead.
