Score: Milwaukee Brewers 10, St. Louis Cardinals 5
Venue: Miller Park
Game Day: August 3, 2011
Roadmates: Mike, John, Murph
MVP: Casey McGehee 3-4, 3 HR, 5 RBI, 3 R
Recap: Since July 25 the Brewers have posted a blisteringly good record of 25-5 and have gone from a half game out of first place to pacing the rest of the division by nine and one half games. Early in this run I had the pleasure of attending the rubber game of a three game series between the Brewers and second place Cardinals at Miller Park. At the time the Brewers led the Cardinals by four and one half games. McGehee led an offensive barrage with his three home runs, all off Cardinals mid season acquisition Edwin Jackson, covering up a shaky start by Randy Wolf. I was magically inebriated to the disappointment of the Cardinal fans in our section, but through my charm and guile I was able to avoid fights, ejections and vomiting.
