2009-09-06 Giants (Sanchez) at Brewers (Looper) : 1:05 PM CT [Brewers win, 2-1]

I'm not one for excessive celebrations, but that was great. I wonder how long that they've been planning that one?

I wonder how long that they've been planning that one?

You could see Prince pointing at the dugout, waving his finger as he rounded first

 

He did the same kinda pose when they walked off against the Giants earlier in the year

So glad we made it home from the Dells in time to see the Prince Splash. Too funny.

[AJAY]

I don't think there will be any beanings since the game was over already. I think there will be more admiration for the creativity instead http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

That was the funniest walkoff celebration I've ever seen

And for the record, there's already a thread on stltoday.com to hark about it;

 

Newest Brewers' Walkoff Routine (eyeroll)

[owbc]

The more I hear the Cards fans complain, the more I want the Brewers to do more elaborate celebrations.

Oh man, I love that they get their panties all twisted over that. It wasn't even against their team! Someone should tell them the game is supposed to be fun.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

For a team that hasn't looked like they've been having fun in awhile, that was great. If Trevor Hoffman is going to be out there doing it with the boys, how can it not be ok? That guy has more class than any drunk driver in St. Louis.

For Prince I am sure this was a much better celebration then getting the crap beat out of you at home plate (which is what usually happens after a walk off)!!

Since I still appear to be able to enjoy individual games in a vacuum...today's was awesome.

 

- I've always preferred pitchers' duels to slugfests, and given the Brewers' pitching woes this year, pitchers' duels have been harder to come by.

- First triple play in a decade (was it the first in Miller Park? I don't recall if one has been turned against the Brewers here). And I saw all of this one. I missed the first out of the 1997 triple play vs. Toronto because I was headed to the restroom.

- Prince with the improbable dive into 2B in the second inning. Too much else happened today for this play to make the video highlights, but it was amusing.

- The walkoff and odd-but-funny celebration. I'm not typically a big fan of choreographed team antics, but maybe the Brewers are teaching me to lighten up.

 

Also, the Brewers are now 15-10 in games I've attended. With five more on our schedule this year, they can't finish below .500 on my watch!

 

Edit: Because you want to know...the triple play entry in Wikipedia has already been updated.

it was great to see that today and yes i enjoyed it don't care what the cards or anybody else thinks

PS MLB network Guys just loved it

[young guns]

I had to work, so I missed all but about the first half inning of the game http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif. With all that happened, it seems I have missed the game of the year. Even with the disappointment that the season has been, I'm glad they can still have fun out there. From what others have said earlier, it doesn't seem like the Giants' announcers had any problem with it, but have any of the Giants' players said anything official, or unofficial, about it? I liked it, though it looked like a few players were a tad late falling down and should have practiced a little more.
