  1. Oh my goodness, that was just sad to see. Also the $1 rivalry baseballs filling multiple laundry carts. Time to take the L on some of that merch, Brewers. I still enjoy having a reason for a Milwaukee day trip, but the selection this year was underwhelming. Most of what I liked was not in my size. And of course, most of the half-off postseason merch was NLCS related. I really want to relive that, guys.
  2. I'm pleased to be wrong in this case (about these new jerseys replacing the navy).
  3. Since these are being characterized as alternate road jerseys, I'd think the odd jersey out, so to speak, is the navy with the gold script Milwaukee. I'll miss that style if it is in fact phased out. I also can't fathom why they'd pair the new jersey with gray pants, unless that's somehow a MLB or Nike issue.
  4. I'm a longtime language nerd and this is marvelous. 😂
  5. You truly have suffered a one-two punch this month (baseball-wise, which is a first world problem, but still).
  6. This tweet has screenshots of the McIntosh message to fans. On first read*, I thought the message was "It's your problem too, season ticket holders. Pony up!" I know football is the load-bearing component of the athletic department, but I don't think the message is going to change anyone's mind. *For those of you wondering why hawing is weighing in on football, we got the email because we have season tickets for UW volleyball.
  7. At the risk of sending this well off track, I think an all-Pacific Time WS would be a logistics nightmare *for fans of those teams* (along with a general dream come true; I'm sure they can coexist). MLB will get its prime time ratings regardless of how much fans have to contort their lives to attend those games. I also had the knee-jerk reaction "OH NO WAY would MLB ever prefer the Brewers over the Dodgers in a WS." There are Faces of Baseball to promote.
  8. Based on our NLDS Game 1 experience, when it took us almost 90 minutes to travel the last 12 blocks to the stadium grounds, I would buy in advance. We were routed around to the American Family lot (I was that many days old when I learned that lot existed) and I think we were placed where buses usually park. Having said that, there may not be as many visiting fans driving to the games this series. But Team Canada is right that paying when you arrive costs more.
  9. Bud is 91 now (born about 6 months after Uecker) and is probably slowing down physically. As mentioned by Outlander, he did appear at the Uecker tribute day in August.
  10. I don't know how many of the NLDS 5 attendees read this forum, but compared to games 1 and 2, I noticed some more chc fans, but not an out of whack ratio as tends to happen during the regular season. Ideally, more Brewers fans would realize that showing up against this opponent makes a difference, and would continue to do so in future regular seasons. Not saying we live in an ideal world, though.
  11. Our season-seat postseason tickets are 217 and the price per ticket cited for any NLCS games is $155, WS $305. ($95 for the Division Series) In case that helps you gauge other prices.
  12. From 217 I thought Vaughn's hit was too high and not quite deep enough, until it landed.
  13. The actual home fans have shown up, brought It, whatever phrase you prefer. it’s absolutely marvelous.
  14. Mike, I may be able to help you. Send me a DM. You'd be sitting with me, the SO and our 25 yo nephew, in section 217. You can turn around and look at Adam McCalvy or the radio booth guys. ETA: ticket claimed by Mike!
  15. If this goes well, should I get a custom Priestby jersey? 😉 More for real, though, my nephew is prioritizing his college exam tonight for some reason, so I have an extra ticket for tonight's game. You'd be sitting with me, the SO and our nephew who is out of college and not taking an exam tonight. 217, which is not a family section anymore. ETA - ticket is now claimed.
  16. I'm bugged by the Cardinals. That's evergreen, of course.
  17. For the OGs.
  18. Welcome, Brewluver. A couple of things: 1. A magic number countdown thread is a pleasant little tradition around here, going back to 2008 and this message board's original ownership. There's so much other content on this site for you to focus on, if this thread presents a problem for you. 2. Some of the members here are older, women, or both, and using "old woman/women" as an insult isn't the zing you might think it is.
  19. 25-11 with three games left on our regular season schedule. (ETA: 26-11 with two of the Reds games left. This is wildly unprecedented for our household.)
