Cardinals Defeated

In the wake of the tragic death of pitcher Josh Hancock, the Cardinals regrouped in Milwaukee to face the division leading Brewers. Ten of us braved the chilliness and wind to tailgate prior to the game. We had a plan, we seemingly had everything we needed: Brats, hot dogs, veggie brats, potato salad, chips, nuts, beer, soda, oreo cookies, grill, music, plates, forks, napkins... wait a minute, what is missing?! How about some chairs!! Luckily, it was only a minor set back and since most of us are docs we are used to lots of standing. We made our way into the game as the sun went down and the temperature continued to drop. Our seats in the bleachers were good but with so many empty seats (I am unaccustomed to seeing this at Busch Stadium) we headed toward some prime property along the first base line. It was good to see Suppan pitch (a former Card) but terrible to see our team defeated 2-6. The Cardinals just could not get themselves together. Kip Wells threw a couple of bad throws to first missing the outs. Also, the Brewers just seemed to be positioned perfectly for where we were hitting the ball. Oh well. We had a good time even though I was heckled for wearing my Cardinals gear... Milwaukee fans just are not good sports!
