Random Thoughts From Cinco De Mayo at Miller Park

I have done this blog post before where I just note all the different stuff I see at Miller Park and then I write about it. Sometimes we see some real weird stuff, other times, it is pretty normal.  We saw all sorts of things on a beautiful (PSYCH) Monday night. 

- People wore a ton of sombreros on Cinco De Mayo: I mean there were all sorts of offensive stuff at the ballpark on Monday night. People wore sombreros in the first row of the stadium. Nobody really cared that it probably pissed off some Mexicans in the crowd.  If we really wanted to amp it up, might as well bring around the people giving out tequila shots and shaking people's heads with whistles.

- Why weren't they wearing Cerveceros jerseys?:  Look if we are going to do this thing right, bust out the Mexican heritage jerseys. I don't think that's offensive. In fact, I think that's a good idea. I wonder if Matt Garza had a choice.

- Most mailed in Sausage Race of all-time:  CONSPIRACY.  Everyone including Rob Edwards, the Brewers PA guy, was in on the whole thing with the Chorizo being well ahead of the pack with the Italian Sausage hanging behind dogging it. Seriously.  Try a little bit.

- Grown ass men acting like toddlers: Late in the game, a ball boy tried to toss the ball to a girl in the front row and it went straight through her hands. As the ball rolled up the stands, a bunch of probable dads wearing their New Balances or Asics with their dad jeans dived for the ball like they were goddamn teenagers. They did not give the girl back the ball and kept for themselves. She wanted it way more than you idiots.

-Friday's Smoking Lounge is where dreams go to die - I went with two friends to the game who are both smokers. They wanted to have a cigarette during the game so I joined them because my phone was slowly dying. We had people there rocking jorts, many overweight and the best was an older man, maybe a grandpa, dragging his kid or his granddad into the 40 degree cold to have a cigarette while the smoker only wore a t-shirt. All of it was pretty great.

- I bring the offense - Always nice when you go to the game where the Brewers find some offense. They only scored 10 runs in four games and scored eight runs in one game. Granted, Arizona's pitching is putrid. Carlos Gomez had an MVP game with a home run, big two-run hit to opposite field and two walks. Jean Segura found his stroke for at least a game. Martin Maldonado have been playing real well offensively for this team as well.

- Glad I didn't see Matt Garza freakout - He still gave up three runs. It wasn't an ideal start for Garza, but he got settled in pretty nicely after struggling in the first couple innings. I hope we can get one good Garza start in the near future. He will be fine folks.

- Crossing fingers at batters: There was a woman in front of me whom crossed her fingers at the batters asking them to deliver a hit like some divine intervention. It was nutty man. Equally nutty was the lady next to her whom had her Hank t-shirt and her Hank stuff animal.

- Rock Bottom - While we were gone, some kid puked in the middle of our section. If you are puking at a game on a Monday in some great seats, you need to rethink everything you are doing with your life.

- Take advantage of StubHub: We got these seats for 40 dollars. StubHub is your friend, not your enemy.
