Let me just say first: I. Heart. Ben. Sheets. And I missed him these last 11 months (the last time I was present at a start of his was the one when he went down last August). I love to watch him pitch. I love it when he's dealing. I love all of his strikeouts. Heck, I loved his sac bunt. Ahem. OK. Game wasn't nearly as hot as last night was. The 9th inning melt down was creepy, the stadium was insanely quiet. It was almost like a library. Nah, I know what a library sounds like and even that 9th inning wasn't it. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif But the 9th was right when the sun was hitting our section, and that just added to our on-field discomfort. I think those of us who attended today really caught a break with the cloud cover during the first half of the game. Had it been sunny the whole time, that would have been some bad climate action. Oh, and Mench/Cordero, nice of you to make the Brewers brass look good today. I don't recall the last time I was at a game with a curtain call - that was cool. Ben tipped his hat to the crowd on his way out, too. After reading the thread, I am probably going to quietly chant to myself, "MENCH Mench Mench Mench MENCH Mench Mench Mench" every time I see him up now. (Kind of like how Homer Simpson chants Sports sports sports sports.) I don't care about the wild card race, but the Brewers made me happy today. That's all I want.
