Get your brooms.

Before the third game against the SAWX tonight, I need to touch on this weekend's badass sweep of the Brewers.

Since graduating recently from a Wisconsin university, after spending 5 years hearing about HOW AWESOME PRINCE FIELDER BRAUN HARDY OMG BREWERS ARE SO GREAT, I'd have to say this weekend was the highlight of the season so far.

Friday's game, which I watched care of mlb.com because all I had in my house was my computer and a bottle of vodka, was too glorious for words. Despite the 11-3 score, thanks to a cycle hit by Cuddyer, all my friends who were Brewers fans made sure to tell me it was just a fluke and the Twins would get their asses handed to them the next two games.

Well, let's take it to Saturday's game. I was actually there with a bunch of friends from school, about half of which were rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth Brew Crew members. After sipping vodka out of a Ziploc bag the entire game, I hazily remembered the killer performances by Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer, Crede, and new guy Swarzak:

"I heard the crowd start to yell, 'Brewers, Brewers' and then I heard the Minnesota Twins fans start coming back," Swarzak said. "I threw that strike in there, and they went crazy. That was a good feeling. I'll never forget the roar of the crowd as long as I live."

Many of the Twins (21-23) won't forget this night either, considering the performance that Swarzak delivered. With a group of 16 family members and friends from his home town of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., including his mom and stepfather, in the crowd, he retired 16 of the first 20 batters he faced and scattered just five hits over the course of his seven innings. He struck out three Brewers (26-17) and walked two while throwing 98 pitches in his seven innings.

...

Since Gardenhire shifted Mauer to the second-spot in the lineup on Thursday, the Twins offense has found no trouble scoring runs. It was once again the 2-3-4 combination of Mauer, Justin Morneau and Cuddyer who came up with three of the club's five RBIs on the night.

...

Mauer also was the catalyst for the club being able to take a 3-0 lead in the third. The first Twins run scored on Mauer's RBI single that he was able to hit through the hole to left field with runners on first and second. A throwing error by left fielder Ryan Braun on the play allowed a second run to score and Mauer to advance to third. He then scored on Morneau's sac fly to left.

Joe Crede added a solo home run in the fourth, his seventh of the season and his sixth in his past 19 games. Crede then drove in the Twins' last run with an RBI grounder in the seventh.

And how about the fierce battle of the managers out on the mound? I also remember the score: 6-2. Let me assure you this one thing: this win at our home field would not shut up a Brewers fan. STILL.

I think by the end of Sunday, they may have learned their lesson. See you at Miller Park, a-holes!

On to the last Sawx game tomorrow ...

EDIT:

Tonight we won 4-2. Holler!
