Where does this team rank in past WS Champions

Members debated where the 2026 Brewers rank among World Series champions since 2000, citing their 103 wins, 11-2 playoff run, and what they called the best bullpen ever. Some placed them between the 1976 Reds and 1998 Yankees, while others argued they belong in the top 5 since 2000. A few compared them favorably to the 2006 Cardinals, though opinions varied on how strong that team actually was.

Jesus Made Extension?

A discussion on whether Jesus Made should sign an extension similar to those of Jackson Chourio, Cooper Pratt, and Luis Lara, focusing on his potential as a future starting third baseman. Posters compared Made favorably to Jose Ramirez at a similar stage in his career, citing strong stats and a high ceiling. Some argued the Brewers should offer him the third base job to secure the deal, while others questioned the timing due to the potential lockout and uncertainty around service time rules.

St Pete / Tampa / Clearwater Check Ins

Members discussed plans for spending the day in St. Pete, Tampa, and Clearwater ahead of Game 4, noting the expected increase in Brewers fans and the popularity of Ferg’s as a pregame gathering spot. Some mentioned tailgating in Tampa, though it paled in comparison to Milwaukee. Others shared experiences from the previous day, highlighting the lively atmosphere at Ferg’s and the growing number of Brewers fans in the area. There was also mention of ticket availability being limited and more expensive than the day before.

What's the Best Brewer Related Song?

Asked for recommendations on the best Brewers-related song, sparking a discussion that included "Rockin’ Robin," a possible Yount adaptation, "Brewer Fever," and the viral "Milwaukee Brewers" song from this postseason. Members also mentioned Celine Dion’s "My Heart Will Go On" and a local radio jingle. While some praised nostalgic and catchy tunes, others found the viral song grating. The consensus leaned toward older, more iconic tracks, with mixed feelings on newer efforts.
