Fish at Keith

Location: Christy's Landing - Madison Wisconsin (picture not representative of current conditions)


















Beverages - Pitchers of Miller Lite
Conditions - initially 57 degrees and sunny, needed to head indoors for Game 3, still too cold

Don't have the stats - unfortunately.  Keith won Game 1 on account of a great game by Mark Trumbo, what  a stiff.

Game 2 was won by Fish - in 15 innings.  After Nick Swisher had 6K's in the game, he belted a 15th inning 2-run home run to win the game, 4-2.

Game 3- Justin Masterson of all people was locking my team down, until a 5 run orgy occurred in the 7th inning, with an AJ Pierzynski "Clutch" three run home run.

Fish wins the series, 2-1.  I have never seen Keith so ill from the common cold and so irritated by loosing in PTP.

Series MVP, reluctantly: Nick Swisher
