Addiction is a disease. It's a disease that lays dormant in people until the right conditions are meant, and then a switch flips. What you said is similar to saying "I don't know how people can just get skin cancer. I've never had skin cancer, and I don't plan on getting it and I spend lots of time in the sun." https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMra1511480 While I agree that addictions are a disease, the difference between addictions and other diseases is that addictions are preventable. If a person never took the substance in the first place they wouldn’t have an addiction. The same cannot be said for most other diseases. Now, there are valid uses of some of these substances, and ignorance and information could lead into it, but again the root cause is that the substance was taken. This difference is likely what causes the different mindsets against addictions vs. other diseases.

I’m not questioning if anyone hopes that they make it to the postseason. I would imagine everyone in here does. I was commenting that there are people that think they still have a realistic chance of making it.
-
I'm very surprised that there are still people thinking that the Brewers have a shot yet this year. Very little has gone their way and their big producers haven't been producing consistently. I'm all for being positive, do you honestly believe that this team realistically has it in them?

It was unbelievable to me when I heard that he signed with the Astros, especially when I heard the salary amount. -
Normally I would have agreed with the three young starters approach, but I really believed that after last season, that 2019 was going to be the year they were going to really push for a World Series. So in my mind they should have left two of the young guys in the bullpen and kept Miley. This would have allowed them to interchange the young guys if they struggled while still keeping the bullpen (their biggest strength) intact. While it may have hindered potential progress with the young starters, it would have been worth the risk for a WS push in my opinion. I could have gone either way with resigning Gio. Signing Grandal to a one-year contract gave the impression of a WS push, but the three young starters contradicted this. I guess this is why the 2019 team is full of contradiction with good offense and pitching both lining up infrequently.

With any hopes for the 2019 season fading quickly, where do the Brewers go for 2020? There are a lot of holes on this team and if they want to take advantage of Yelich’s time here and really have a chance at a World Series, then I think they need to be major players this offseason. Assuming they move Braun to first to platoon with Thames, we need another outfielder, although it may just need to be a 5th outfielder. We need to replace Moose at 3rd and Grandal at catcher. They need to decide it Arica is the direction we want to continue to go at SS. Probably need to sign at lest one mid-to-top of rotation starter and a couple decent bullpen arms. It sure seems like there are too many gaps to overcome. Hopefully Stearns can figure something out and get us there before we lose Yelich.

Terrible missed strike by the ump on that walk
-
Well, now that we won't be no-hit tonight, we might as well win this one...
-
If a team is ever in need of getting a sweep, it’s the Brewers tomorrow. Let’s do this!
-
Seems like we only get these breaks against the Pirates this year.
-
Oh no, it’s raining. Reminiscent of the last game before the ASB fiasco last year.
-
Wow. Why can’t we just have a clean save anymore?
-
Brewers sure know how to make a win feel crappy.
-
So, after he walks him, who pitches?
-
What are the odds Diaz ties it up here?
-
I really wonder about Counsell’s job status this offseason (or even before then)
-
I absolutely hate walks in these situations. They always seem to bite you.
-
Why Peralta?!?
-
Not when most of our extra base hits are solo home runs.
-
Does anyone know of a site that would have the collective ERA of the opposing starter/team? It would be interesting to see how difficult the season was for the Brewers in regards to opponent’s ERA. I’d guess that they underperformed against the starter’s normal ERA.
-
Normally, that may be the case, but it would likely be drowned out by the cheers of Cubs fans. Dammit
