Woody knows what’s up.

Was really hoping to have Woody for tomorrow. But nice to see him get an inning

Am I the only one that doesn’t like the juju of 10-0 given game 1 of 1982? Gimme 11-0. Gimme 10-1. Don’t like 10-0

why watch World Series baseball when you can simply snort cocaine and ride a motorcycle out of a helicopter

This is going to be the most stressful week of my sporting life.

I was born April 1, 1970 in Milwaukee, WI. The Milwaukee Brewers officially became a franchise on April 1, 1970. One of my first memories of my life was tailgating in a Volkswagen Beetle. So young that me and my 2 sisters were able to sit in the front "trunk" to eat. Bat Night in 1977 with 47K people. Walked home with a legit full sized Red Coca Cola bat. Can you imagine giving full size bats to attendees? We made it a tradition to go to the 2nd game of the year. In 1980 I got to see 2 grand slams in the same inning of an 18-1 win. At church camp huddled around a fire listening to Rollie close it out for the first playoff appearance ever. For whatever reason I decided to start collecting and "scrapbooking" every boxscore in 1982. Absolutely dying one game away from winning it all to getting blown out in game 6 and then immediately giving up 3 runs after taking a 3-1 lead in the 6th inning of game 7. Hearing the entire neighborhood EXPLODE on Easter of 1987. Thinking 1992 was the turning point - and then finding out it was, just not the direction I hoped for. The sheer unexpectedly joy of 2008, Braun hitting that HR vs the Cubs. Regretting 2011 thinking that was the year. Freaking Roenicke. And then never not being amazed at 2018 - today. And all of it with my dad. All of it. No matter how far I've lived from him. We lived and died and celebrated and complained about the Brewers. We are huge Packer fans, but we've always had a certain unspoken bond that we'd give up all the Packers success for one World Series title. And I don't mean to drag anything in this thread, but just making the World Series is not enough. I need to see this team win it all. I don't want 44 years of celebrating just making it. Again, I cannot express how insane it would be to explain to my 7 year old self or my 22 year old self that we make the playoffs regularly! This isn't some declaration about "my fandom". I am just being honest, this will destroy me if we don't win it all. I don't know how many years I have left with my dad - hell I don't know how many days I have left. IT IS TIME.

Rewatching the last 3 by Ashby. 1. Thank you for giving us a free out on the bunt in the 7th. I get the thinking, but after seeing Pages tee it up, I would not have been so quick there. 2. It's WILD that they pitched to Ohtani. It makes sense given how things have been going for him, but at any other point in his career? You're absolutely putting him on and setting up the DP with Betts. 3. Even rewatching now, I still am expecting that Tucker gets Smith in. 4. HOW DOES MURPHY NOT BRING IN MEGILL? Look, I'm a guy that literally texted my dad "maybe you stick with Peralta here?" before they brought in Williams vs the Mets but my goodness I was fully expecting that to backfire. 5. Both those defensive plays in the 9th were far more difficult that they made them look. In a parallel universe both those get down and lead to a comeback. For as effective as he was, there were balls that were absolutely SMOKED by the Dodgers those last 3 innings.

I still cannot believe that outing by Ashby. Maybe the most tense 3 innings I’ve experienced.

The Milwaukee freaking Brewers came back from 4-0 on the road to sweep the 2 time defending champs to go to the World Series. What are we doing here?

Info 4 to go

I am a [expletive deleted] mess

Is it crazy to say that Gasser has been the best SP thus far in the postseason?

I wonder if they’ll get 5 hits.

As much as I want to believe, I just don’t trust this offense will be able to do enough. Too many holes and unless the staff is nearly perfect I just can’t imagine more than 1 win. I’ll say LA in 5. Hope I’m wrong and this post is mocked for years.
