Well, yesterday was the Cubs game in Milwaukee-talkie. I had to pick up
Kelli at 11:30 in the AM and meet at Don’s house at noon. We were a few
minutes late due to shit ass fucking traffic on Weber road. I hate
traffic. And a lot of times it doesn’t make sense. This time, however,
it was because of construction. Anywho, upon getting to Don’s house, he
and the kids had Cubs temporary tattoos on their faces. I was so
envious, I just had to have one. So, Don put one square on my forehead.
Sweeeeeet. We left and headed to grab lunch at Chedder’s about 1ish. I
had a turkey club and French Onion Soup. Man, I love the French Onion
Soup. Then again, onions rule, so that does help. We kept getting looks
at the resturant. Actually, we kept getting looks everywhere we went. I
forgot that I had a temp tattoo on my forehead, which would explain the
looks. Anywho, we got through with lunch at………..whatever time it
was and headed to Milwaukee. Traffic was not bad at all. On the drive
up, we saw a big butch looking chick riding a Harley. Not only wasn’t
she wearing a helmet, but she had her hair in two braids and they were
blowing and flopping every which way. Yes, she was a female, the
confirmation of her femininity was right there on her chest. Still, she
was scary. She could definitely kick my ass. In fact, it wouldn’t even
be close.Don and Dayna have a portable tv/dvd player they put in the van for the
kids. The cord was not working, so Dayna had taken it apart and was
working on it in the van. She said she needed something small and round
to stick inside there and asked me if I had anything. With a straight
face, I looked at her, looked at my crotch and said “you need something
small?”. I thought that was sorta funny, but she just started laughing
really hard and couldn’t stop. Really, nothing to that story. In fact,
you could even say it was pointless.We got into Milwaukee early, in fact, about 3:20. We didn’t know what
to do, so we headed to the Miller Brewery. I have been on their tour
once before back in Sept ’98 when Jt and I went to a Cardinals/Brewers
game. The tour was pretty much the same, boring but with free beer at
the end. There were quite a few Cub fans that had the same idea as us,
go for the tour before going to the game. The brewery is close to the
park, so its a pretty convenient way to kill time. Needless to say, I’m
a lightweight and after 3 free beers, I was feeling pretty damn good.
We left the brewery about 5PM, and did manage to get slightly lost
heading over to Miller Park. No big deal, plenty of time, we did
have 2 hours until the game started, after all. After about 5 minutes,
we got un-lost and made it to the park. Even though it was a road game
for the Cubs, the place had to be half filled with Cubs fans. I did not
feel like we were in the minority at all. In fact, just walking around
the stadium, it seemed like there were actually more Cubs fans. We got
some comments from some of the employees. For example, I bought some
dippin dots and asked for chocolate. They said they didn’t have
chocolate for Cubs fans. It was cool, all in good fun, the same type of
comments we get from Sox employees when we go to the Cubs/Sox games.
The thing is, a lot of fans of other teams (like the Brewers, Braves
and so-forth) bitch about Cubs fans showing at their favorite teams
stadiums. Hey, don’t blame us for being supportive. Its not our fault
that you need our help to sell out your park. We wouldn’t be able to go
if you guys actually went to your own games.We walked to our seats on the 4th deck of the park. We were actually in
the very first row of the upper deck, which made Dayna very nervous.
She was worried that once of us would fall over. I was not very
comfortable with it either, because I don’t like heights, but she got a
little worried everytime her son stood up.As for the game, things went quickly in the first inning. Cubs starting
pitcher Carlos Zambrano looked good. Then, came the 2nd inning. 8
Brewer runs later, Zambrano was gone and the Cubs were getting their
asses kicked. When Zambrano was taken out of the game, half the stadium
booed, the other half mockingly cheered. From my view, I saw him raise
a hand in the fans direction. I swear, he gave them the finger, but it
was hard to tell. I read in the paper this morning that he just pointed
to the sky like he always does when he comes off the field.Its awful to be at a game that goes like that early on. You just
have to keep hoping that your team chips away at the lead, after all,
they have plenty of time to come back. The Cubs, however, couldn’t do
shit with Doug Davis (Brewers starting pitcher) until they finally
scored 3 in the 6th. They never got any closer and lost 9-4. With a
blowout like that, although I still pay close attention to the game, I
also have a chance to look around and check out all the hot guys.
Although I LOVE sports, and added bonus is that there are always a lot
of hot guys at games. And in the summer, most of them have on shorts
showoing off their hot legs and even some of them go shirtless. HOT!After the game, we sat in the park letting things clear out for a
while. We could see a mass of humanity in the parking lot, so I knew we
wouldn’t be able to go anywhere soon. By the time we got out, it had
cleared out a lot and it actually didn’t take long to get out of the
lot. We managed to get lost a little bit on the way to the expressway,
but did find our way about 10:30 in the PM. Traffic was CRAZY getting
onto the expressway. After all, a lot of fans were going back to
Chicago. After we got on the expressway, things went pretty quick, we
made it home in about an hour and a half. Anywho, I will write more
later.
