[YelichPosse]

Excuse me, everybody. I'm going to steal a "W" flag, and streak through the neighborhood.

 

Down to the quad and through the gymnasium???

 

Lets not forget we are streaking... 8 in a row now!!!!

 

BREWERS BREWERS KEEP TURNING UP THE HEAT

[fondybrewfan]

I am cheering for the Dodgers tonight and the Rockies tomorrow, I think.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

SO HAPPY!

 

Now what do we do for 2 days... lol.

 

Breathe

[YelichPosse]

SO HAPPY!

Breathe

 

 

I have mastered the art of being a fish and not breathing . WHAT A LAST 8 DAYS!

[Dead Simmons]

Brewers are your NL Central CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!

Clinched on the last day of the season....a very long trip. Congrats. Hope you play the Rockies for the pennant. That would be cool.

[cesser000]

Thank you David Stearns for putting this team together. He had a plan and stuck to it.

[BrewCrewForever]

What a ride. What a team.

[rcc]

They did it! NL Central Champs. So happy!

[topper09er]

First time leading the NL in wins!

[lukevan]

Thank you David Stearns. Thank you Craig Counsell. So many contributors and they all play for each other. What an enjoyable season and the best game of the regular season for last. Rest up, get ready to refocus and make it a season for the ages.

[bigredrobbo]

For those of us season optimists on Brewerfan, even I fully expected Rizzo to jack one out, and Hader to blow his arm on the next pitch as the Cubs break our hearts!

 

Postseason - check

Division champs - check

On to the playoffs!

[StearnBrewliever]

Go Rockies . Go Cubs.

[IIAY]

Final game of the regular season vs. the Cubs with a lot at stake. Braun comes through with a big hit in the 8th inning to give us a 3-1 lead. Our dominant lefty closes the door with the tying run at the plate.

 

Seems I've seen this movie before...

[OldSchoolSnapper]

This is one of the best days ever of my life as a Brewer fan.

[fondybrewfan]

It is probably irrational fear of losing to a division rival but I would really prefer not to play the Cubs in the NLDS.

[82brewcrew82]

This is one of the best days ever of my life as a Brewer fan.

Easily.

[cesser000]

I loved seeing Sophia Minnaert give Craig Counsell a hug

[HiAndTight]

Even if we play the Cubs in the NLDS, Quintana's armor of invincibility has been shattered, and the Cubs can only pitch him once in a 5 game series.

 

So happy right now.

 

"Shattered" may be a BIIIIT of an overstatement....

 

 

Still....this was a lost year IMO. Yellich looked like a good move until the last day of the year when he blew it. All he needed was another HR and a few lousy RBI and he couldn't get it done. Yellich=Not Clutch.......(I don't really even need blue for this, right?)

I'm so happy. And my 9-year old, who doesn't really quite understand the depths of my fandom or the significance of this game (though I've been teaching him), got to watch the last couple innings and was really into it (except when he missed the first two outs of the 9th to take a dump).

only a 2 batter dump, I guess you don't have enough reading material in the throne room

Our light highting SS goes 4-4?

 

Well....maybe that just made the DVD box set with director cuts!

[TJH123]

They f’n did it! Now let’s go win a World Series

Priorities.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Champagne celebrations at Busch Stadium and Wrigley Field. How absolutely perfect is that?

[dlk9s]

He told me it was the Taco Bell we had the other night.
