My heart skipped several beats on that fly ball

Go JBJ and the Red Sox! 

[markedman5]

Good win……if anyone has any pull with the front office……please tell them to replace Dillard as the backup analyst next season……he is just awful.

[edfunderburk]

Nolan Arenado with a terrible error 

Life is indeed good

[Opening Day]

Never a doubt, lets take this division!  Get a bat at the deadline and make some noise in the playoffs

[Brewcrew82]

Wow, just discovered the Padres are ahead of the Dodgers right now....

But it also doesn't surprise me considering the Buehler injury and Justin Turner/Max Muncy's batting lines.

I lived in SD for eight years so I'm pretty fond of the Pads, can't wait to see Tatis back and I hope they make a run.

Yep, rooting for them to lose to the Brewers in the NLCS.

You like too many teams ?

I’ve lived a ton of places, picked up fondness for several teams along the way. I also have a soft spot for the Angels, lived in Long Beach for almost a decade.

That would be a really fun series.

I live and die for the Brewers, above all else. But I am also a huge baseball fan in general. That's not necessarily the case for everyone. I would also probably say that the Red Sox and Twins are my "secondary teams", as I lived in Minnesota for a couple years and have relatives in Boston. Obviously, I still hope we crush both teams in our games against them this year.

Just a guess …

 

I assume your favorite baseball teams in order are:

Twins

Padres

Angels

Brewers

Is that accurate?

I was born in Nashville TN, I grew up in north Louisiana, I lived in Houston TX for 15 years, & I’ve lived in DFW for 19 years

I love the Brewers, Packers, & Bucks 

I don’t like any other professional teams

Same. It's all about the Brewers, Packers, Badgers, and Bucks for me, in that order. I guess I meant that those are the teams I would root for if the Brewers weren't in the playoffs or something like that. Because while the Brewers are in-season, they occupy all of my focus, attention, joy, tears, etc.

A few years ago a lot of people wanted him to get this role. Me included.  I was wrong.  He’s really bad.  

[Brewcrew82]

Red Sox bullpen is trying to blow a 5 run lead against the Cardinals all with 2 outs. Goldschmidt up down one with a runner on second....

No. Definitely this:

Twins
Brewers
Padres
Angels

and because of my extended time in LA, if left no other options, Dodgers

But I rarely “cheer on” the Dodgers. More like if they’re in the WS against a team I feel nothing toward, I won’t be sad to see them win. I never really connected with the Dodgers, I watched far more Anaheim games due to proximity to the stadium. 

[Brewcrew82]

Thank you Red Sox. Goldschmidt called out on strikes on 3-2 and the lead is down to 1 game...

I’m also just a baseball fan. I always have side favorites, like the Jays right now.

And I’ll watch almost anything. If the Pirates and Marlins are the only day game, I’ll tune in even though who even cares what happens.

I’ve watched MLB games in 24 stadiums 

I love the Anaheim ballpark 

Both Josh Hamilton & Vernon Wells - who played there for a few years - are/were members of the church I served here in DFW for many years 

[brewmann04]

Nice win especially without Josh. This team needs to make some moves because they need to win this Division. I think David will make a move before and at the deadline
