Box Score
I am at a loss as to how to blog about this game. At the risk of using hyperbole, what happened to night was magic. To use another movie reference, it was like watching 'Angels in the Outfield.' You had the feeling that a higher power had a vested interest in seeing the Brewers to win tonight. There was a diving catch that lead to a double play, a play at the plate, a "look what I found" line-out double play to end the game, and, oh yeah, there was an elusive 5-6-3-2 triple play. There were enough defensive highlights to last a season crammed into nine innings of baseball.
Offensively the Brewers were mostly handcuffed by Ted Lilly. The managed only two hits through seven innings and six overall. That is usually a sign of a shut out, but tonight half of the hits went for home runs and considering the voodoo spell the Dodgers were under, turned out to be more than enough for a Brewers win.
So to recap, the Brewers turned four double plays, one triple play, hit three solo home runs, and won the game. Just another day at the office, right? What happened tonight is at the heart of why people watch sports. On any given night you could see something/a combination of things that you may never see again. Not only was tonight's game exemplify this, but the whole season has been filled with incredible moments. There is something special going on with the Brewers. Let's hope they keep the good times rollin'.
