Soaked in Champagne

By Todd Welter

The Brewers used Andre champagne to bathe themselves in their wild card glory.  They must be saving the Dom for the World Series.  Needless to say it is going to take about four showers for me to get the mixture of Miller Lite and Andre out of my hair.  So what was the celebration like.  Well, listen to this celebration.  Boy does this team love CC.

 

What an experience being in that locker room.  People ask me why am I crazy to make just a few bucks over minimum wage to do this job?  Well, it's simple.  To be a part of days like today.  What a celebration.  Nothing like watching a multi-millionaire on his birthday drenched in Andre champagne wearing goggles taking in his investment reaching a nice payout.  It was great to see Doug Melvin grinning from ear-to-ear watching the team he built from practically nothing five years ago into a World Series contender.  As I was interviewing him, I was thinking I wish he was my uncle because this guy really gives great birthday gifts.  I mean talk about getting your boss the perfect birthday gift.

 

Being on that field you got to see these players who went through heck this entire month get a 1,000lb monkey off their back.  You got to watch this roster reap the benefits of charging down the stretch better than Seattle Slew.  There is nothing better than watching a city see its demons exercised right before its very eyes.  The ghosts of Wayne Franklin, Matt Kinney, or any other hack this team has presented before this city were driven out.  There still is a ways to go but three more chances to be sprayed with more champagne.  I just hope they go with the good champagne for the next celebration.
