Fried

As I stated in yesterday's blog, the Cardinals/Brewers game was quite unique.

Cutting the unique game was fun and I enjoyed it.

There was one aspect of this game that I failed to mention. The length of this game was 4 hours and 28 minutes - 4:28.

Yes, I admit that I did enjoy cutting this unique 4:28 minute game.

However, I failed to mention that this unique, 4:28 minute game occurred the night before a getaway day game.

After some sleep I made my way to Miller Park hoping, praying for a well-paced, well-pitched, well-played game.

The following is my summary of today's Cardinals/Brewers game telecast:

After 2 innings, the score was 4 - 3 Cardinals and there were 7 total hits in the game.

After 3 innings, the score was 5 - 4 Brewers and there were 13 total hits in the game.

After 5 innings, the score was 7 - 4 Brewers and there were 17 total hits in the game.

After 6 innings, the score was 9 - 5 Brewers and there were 22 total hits in the game.

Going into the 7th inning I was totally fried but still very thankful that both starting pitchers were removed from the game. After 6 innings the Cardinals starter had thrown 100 pitches and the Brewers starting pitcher had tossed 113 pitches.

The Brewers ended up victorious by the score of 10 - 5 and there were 26 total hits in the game.

I don't mean to complain because I love cutting the game of baseball.

Baseball can be the most beautiful sport in the world and positively invigorating.

Baseball can also be downright ugly and absolutely draining.

I prefer the former.

After the game, we flew to Ft. Lauderdale and I am now on my balcony at the Ritz Carlton looking at the water.

I'll shut up now
