Fielder Receives Ovation, Sits 9th.

Prince Fielder sat out the 9th inning of tonight’s Brewer game.  Casey McGehee played first base, and he was using Prince’s glove.  That is kinda bittersweet in itself.  He came out before the ninth and tipped his hat to a very loud, adoring crowd.  I hope it isn’t his last regular season game as a Brewer, I really hope.  


What a great night for baseball.  Boston is winning 3-2 in the bottom of the seventh.  The Yankees and the Devil Rays are in extra innings.  7-7 in the 10th.  Atlanta and Philadelphia are tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 12th.  Are you kidding me?  Are you kidding me?  Well, the #cubs are being whalloped.  

Gomez got caught on the base paths again tonight.  I’ve seen him thrown out on the bases just about every game.  Granted this one was a play at the plate, and a beautiful throw from the outfleid, but Gomez didn’t even slide.  Injury or not, sometimes when you are playing on the stage you are, a slide, feet first even, is warranted.  Not just a half-assed, reach around slide.
