Perfect Brewer game tonight. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect Brewer game than tonight. What a great pitching performance by Yovani Gallardo. Over ten strikeouts! Almost 8 innings pitched! What a wonderful performance to see. And then for K-Rod and Axford to finish the game the way they did. It was all tied up into the eighth inning.
In the bottom of the 8th inning, with Hart to bat, who would have thought he’d hit a double the way he did? TPlush comes up to the plate. I was expecting some sort of ochocinco display, or as typical as stevo in the sheen roast. He walks. What discipline! Nobody out, game tied 1-1 in the bottom of the 8th inning, Ryan Braun at the plate. Have you heard this story before? 3-run Home Run. Geeet up, get outta here! Gone!
Axford pitches his 44th save. He ties the Brewers record for saves in a season. 40 saves in a row!! And the Cards lose, so for the first time in 29 years, the Brewers have clinched the division. Celebrations, champagne, screaming cheers. With one out in the top of the ninth, the crowd went nuts. The cheers weren’t for the closer about to make his record tying save. Not at this moment. They were cheering at the 3 Run Home Run that I believe Soriano hit in Chicago to put the Cubs ahead of the Cardinals in their equally strong pitchers duel. 1-1 in the 8th for the Cubs game (before the dinger) as well.
What a game. What a season! Now lets see if I can get TPlush to re-tweet this!
