Party time!

The Brewers finally got over their suck spell with the Cubs to win a game last night against the Braves. The Braves are much easier to beat I'm sure, but it also helped that the team got an early lead and was actually able to hold on to it. But that isn't why it's party time...

For those of you unfamiliar with the Brewers Block Party, they happen on three days every summer, with two locations in Milwaukee parks each time. The first 300 people get free sodas and hot dogs, so that's pretty cool. I have never been, but the final one of the summer is this Saturday, the 9th from 11-130pm. It makes me sad that I can't be at both parks at the same time, or at least around the same time, because - as any normal reader should know - I have a huge obsession with Ryan Braun. BUT, I also would love to meet C.C. and Prince, because I think they're both super awesome. Here are the locations and the players for this Saturday:

ELM GROVE (13600 Juneau Boulevard)
Seth McClung
Ray Durham
Jeff Suppan
Prince Fielder
Rickie Weeks
Mike Maddux
CC Sabathia

WHITEFISH BAY (Silver Spring Drive)
Craug Counsell
Ryan Braun
Corey Hart
Salomon Torres
David Riske
Ted Simmons
Eric Gagne

Obviously, I'll be going to Whitefish Bay. It'll be pretty neat to meet Hart and definitely Braun. But it won't be fun to be all sunburned and/or peeling when I meet him. I'm sure that won't win me a phone number. :)

I went to the Fox River Valley American Legion Baseball League Class A Tournament yesterday. The first game between Horicon and Bruce was pretty intense during the last little bit, but Horicon managed to pull off the win (5-3). I didn't get to finish watching the second game, but Viroqua beat Clintonville 6-4.

I managed to get sunburned even with sunscreen on. I will admit that I didn't spray my legs until they had started to burn and, for some strange reason, I didn't spray my chest at all. Really the only spots that hurt (without being hit or rubbed of course) are the tops of my feet (stupid flip flops), my knees (shorts didn't help), and my chest. I got this awesome Aloe Vera lotion though, so it should be a little better pretty soon.
