Still a chance we see Gute and LaFleur fired -
It's all over the place but it was obvious. Everyone knows the Brewers weren't picking up that option, so it's in his best interest to let the world know he's available asap and not when the Brewers say he is. Probably wants to be a SP and uh, no thanks.

Game 8 - Panthers @ Packers - Thursday, Oct. 29th @ 7:15 PM

He signed for a year for $1.5mm. I was banging this drum the moment they let him walk for almost no money and that was before Jacobs got in any trouble. That was a no-cost move that made no sense at the time and is negligent now. -

No other RB on our roster scores on that play. That is a 2 yard loss for anyone else. -

The amount of injuries in this ridiculous sport are just as big a problem as how bad it translates to TV, the commercials, the endless lengthy reviews, the officiating and flags, and how generally bad our team is. -
Bucks had a great run but it was not the same. They looked down and out in three separate series. Down 0-2 twice and Giannis getting hurt in Atlanta, OT in Game 7 against Brooklyn. That was the exhaustion Bill Simmons references. That whole summer just felt like a marathon, accepting they were done, then somehow they win. The Brewers just rolled over everybody. They also just have a much stronger following across the state.

I'm not sure I can get myself to care about them either. -
I'll believe the season is missed when I see it. It just doesn't benefit anyone to not play, not now when the sport has been enjoying a nice rejuvenation of sorts. I'll bet at worst, it's a 150-game season or something. Pretending you're going to cancel a season has been the move across every sport for a while now.

"Rent free" is cringe and is so transparently only said when all coping mechanisms have been destroyed. It's basically "I'm mad but I have nothing to use." The quote is funny as hell, it's a great line, he was saying it to the fans and it's hilariously obvious that Megill spends time on r/nlcentralmemewar. You can make fun of your rival and then go party, you can do both of those things. Here is your reminder that WI has more recent MLB, NFL and NBA titles than Illinois.

It wasn't even a shot. It was a benign joke about a player chasing money as all players should and do. The Yankees are just the name that pops into your head when you think of money.
-
Yeah, this one hits way differently. You grow up being told about Titletown etc., so it's always fun when the Packers have a run, but you are raised to expect them to win. The Bucks are a hyperlocal team, their run was great but they also had sustained success earlier on and a championship. The Brewers, it has always been kind of accepted they aren't going to win anything. It's tailgating, socializing, enjoying summer, and maybe once in a while a winning team, but it just never had that expectation that you were there because you thought they might win it. Part of the buy-in for their fandom always felt like acceptance you'd never see this.

Lame-ass ESPN already manufacturing that "Murphy ripped the Yankees" as if that line wasn't a boilerplate insert-big-market-here joke between coach and player. If anything it's a joke at Bauers's expense more than New York's.
-
I always envisioned it being that way, but to me this wasn't. They made it look mostly easy. I had the doom feeling a couple times in the NLDS but after that they didn't make me sweat much. So this was not the way I envisioned it going down. In hindsight, I'm glad they lost Game 4. It gave me the anxiety I needed to experience, put the fear back in my heart that they could still lose.
-
IMO the parade version of the merch is substantially better than the on-field stuff from last night. I won't shame anyone for wanting that shirt but it is ugly, lol.
-
It's not that I don't think they can afford him, it's that I think they'll be paying him a lot to decline.
-
You can trade anyone but it will certainly come at a cost if it's Frelick. I think inside, they know if it's worth it or not. The team will be different and some of that will hurt. People kind of felt like that about Durbin, he embodied Brewer mentality. I have seen a lot of "sign William!" sentiment as well. I don't think there's a world where the Brewers can do that though. I think you sit on him for another year, but you have to let him go beyond that. Someone's going to pay him a ton for a lot of years and it shouldn't be us. But all this stuff can wait a week.

Just shy of 40 I have seen the Packers win twice, and now both the Bucks and Brewers. I left childhood truly believing I would never see and NBA or MLB championship in MKE. I remember firing off a bunch of texts after 2018 Game 7 of the NLCS, the stars aligned and we blew it, that was it, we were never going to be back there for generations. I was nearly out of college the first time we made the playoffs, and I remember hitting the bars the night we clinched as though it was tonight. Totally content losing to Philly, it was the biggest deal ever just to get there.
-
Too bad it was on the road but it sure didn't sound like it during the final out
-
Is it the best night in Milwaukee sports history? I'm inclined to say yes, all things considered.
-
The Bucks stuff fell precipitously if you're willing to wait. I am a bit disappointed by the flagship shirt. It's pretty ugly lol. I'll get something that says what we are but it won't be that. I imagine about 60% of the crowd will wear them next season.
-
Bucks lost by 32
-
Absorb the last few minutes of the Brewers being losers, it's all about to end.
-
I'm guessing Ashby told them he wasn't feeling it. Heard he was going to toss it around a bit this afternoon and let them know.
-
I don't think Ashby is playing tonight. Maybe ready if someone stumbled but I'm guessing Uribe gets to Megill.
-
Vaughn's use almost felt cruel. Hard to argue with most of it until this series but there were several pinch hit opportunities that never happened.
