Brewers Preseason ownership made me insane for about 3 days but I am back now and I appologize.

If anyone of you out there have read my ramblings over the past couple months for the most part my message has always been one of extreme positivity.      My goal through 2024 when I saw what I believed to be a roster of players who are young and about to step into a quality of baseball that can beat the 2025 Dodgers .      I wanted to stay on message and try to bring the fanbase together in a way this fanbase is not accustomed to.   Coming from the Packers as a writer about them I was knocked down at the lack of unity when it came to Milwaukee Baseball within our own ranks.     What i see as a huge roadblock to winning is a fanbase that wants to win but is afraid of buying in because of the amount of time they have been hurt by loses.      The Brewers took the soul of many Brewers fans and has not given it back .     What I wanted more than anything was us as fans to come together like never before and buy in to the idea that the Brewers prospects are mostly going to bring batting numbers to 2025 that only come from a champion and a rabid and completely bought in fanbase .  Which in my mind is the only way for a team to carry a .300 average which I believe is a possibility with this group unbelievably .   Touching on that magic place in sports where the fans are so committed to winning it seems our combined energy can push wins across the table that would not come without us.  Reasons for winning outside of players on the field is a thing of sports legend.  It is based on fairytale and magic myths but it is a very real thing about the game of baseball .   Magic is real in this sport but only if the fans have committed to the team on a level that is almost not mentally sound.   I spent every single day since game 3 fighting back online against the fans who were saying "same ol' Brewers" "Spend more money".   I did this not because I am a crazy person who is a glutton for punishment but someone who is doing this because I want the Brewers fan to get to feel that feeling that only comes from winning with a team of destiny.    That is all still my mission and I truly want the Brewers fanbase to follow me into the 2025 season with the biggest chip on their shoulders and with fire in all their bellies to use to smoke out wins at every turn.     I want nothing but cheering for EACH player no matter our feelings about them long term because these young players with all of us supporting them with 0 negativity would only make the fringe talent legitimate and the borderline Star grow up that much faster.    Together as a united fanbase we can bring the Brewers current roster of players to believe in an outcome they might not believe in if they were not so overwhelmed by bold and loud support by each and every fan who is keeping track of these games.       I think the Brewers are very close to having a Shock the World roster here.   Young guys who are on the cusp of being GREAT .     When a united fanbase give up negativity and really support and LOVE the roster the Brewers field those young players will get a major boost from US . When the fans do not demonize them for every small error and help them keep their confidence up by cheering them and openly supporting their playing time no matter what those players feed off that . Especially young players who have yet to become worshiped like established Stars.    

All this being said about 4 days ago now I lost my mind when our fearless leader said the Brewers winning World Series was optional .      I do not appologize for being offended by his statements.  He should have not said such stupid things this close to the season start.    However I also let what he said get me off mission and really mouthy about the guys statement.       I should not have done that because what he said means nothing when it really gets diagnosed as far as my belief in this team's ability to win baseball games.     It may not be in his job description but it is in mine and because of that I owe anyone who read me this week an apology.    I am sorry fans and I won't go that far negative again moving forwards.     I am seriously not that guy who  believes this team is not holding enough value to win and I don't even think the Brewers are behind the $ Clubs so I have no reason to ever go that negative.      What I said was a reaction to something someone said that I did not agree with.    Childish and angry I yelled about it online and I really feel silly about it.         

 

Brewers fans we have a job to do this season. We have a really good team here.  We have a team who can beat the Dodgers if we all come together and BELIEVE.    WE can beat the $ and the Owners take by simply getting your buddies to cheer for this team who may have given up on the Brewers in the past.   Help the rest of the fanbase feel good about believing in a team that has let them down time and time again in the past.    If we all cheer for this team louder than we ever have .  If we attend games with no days off , If we help these young players know they are wanted and LOVED .. If we do these things we have a steak in the outcome of this season and we all can end this season with a World Series to rub in Big Matt's face when the smoke clears.      I LOVE you all fans ! I love you and want you to know I feel your pain as much as anyone . I have been here the whole time with all of you and have been gutted by Brewers loses the same way you have so I understand if you are one of the skeptics .      I am asking you all to put that skepticism  aside this season and let your inner Brewer run wild.   If at the end we get our heart hurt again at least we can say there was this one season where the fans came together around the baseball team and saw if that was enough to push this team over the edge.   

 

I love this Crew and I love this fanbase and I just want ALL of us to feel what it is like to win this thing.   The Brewers winning a Series would make joy fall around us all like nothing we have ever felt.    I know we can do it ! I know I can do better when writing about this team and you all out there who have taken the time to read me have my word moving forwards that my commitment to win this season is unmovable and I will stand with you as long as you do the same for our Crew!     I hope to see you this summer !   I am the guy on Bark at the Park night with the 3 basset hounds.    you cannot miss us if you show up for that event .     IF you find us at the game and say hi and Go Brewers and I will buy you a very overpriced beer so you can get the show started and cheer for this Crew on the highest levels.    

GO BREWERS! Go Brewers fans !     I am sorry and won't let you all down ever again.

Duly noted and thank you for your post.

Not sure if you are typing out your posts or using a voice transcriber, but you have wondered about the reactions to some of your contributions. The length of the posts, especially the mega-paragraphs, is off-putting and will have readers glossing over your thoughts, which in smaller and less repetitive presentations, could be very worthwhile.

Your enthusiasm is to be commended, but in some cases (OK, many cases), less is more.

Go Brewers!
