Milwaukee: Brewers 7, Astros 2


Ah, Milwaukee -- the land of cheese, tailgating, bratwurst, and Miller. Oh, and one of the most unique stadiums in baseball. I love the retractable roof of Miller Park and the industrial feel to the inside of the stadium and these features and the near-sellout game makes this a top-5 stadium for me. You cant really go wrong in a city where sausages and beer define the cuisine of sports and people love their tailgating.

The game was fast-moving and mostly uneventful until a breakthrough inning for the Brewers in the bottom of the 7th. By this time Steve and I had decided to beat traffic and make our way to Madison to check out the bar scene of this college town. It definitely didnt match up with our time in St Louis and we caught a few of the college football games on tv with a few beers before moving on to a hotel west of Madison for the evening.

Tomorrow will be a great divisional matchup in Minneapolis with the Twins and Tigers in the 4th-to-last game ever at the Metrodome.
