    Ugh. Your schtick was never funny.
  2. OldSchoolSnapper
    9 years ago, your Cubs won a world series, which has nothing to do with this season, this team, or the fact Milwaukee has been their daddy since.
  3. OldSchoolSnapper
    Not when it was very specifically directed at your division rival that flies a flag after every game, that you just played and beat. It doesn't have anything to do with the Dodgers. The Cubs can't say a meaningful word about it. They lost to us. Just some stupid banter, I chuckled at it and never thought about it again. It's not like it said "We're going all the way, look out LA" Just think anyone making any kind of deal out of it is being a little too serious. It's a sport.
  4. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't see what the big deal is with all that. It would make sense if they flew it at the end of the regular season then got eliminated by the Cubs. But they beat the Cubs. It just doesn't really make sense as some kind of egg on your face thing.

    Doesn't take any of the joy out of the season for me, but just makes me sad we're going to lose this version of the team, which was a lot more fun to watch than the last few years, especially the 2023 team's offense. I knew this was likely, but I Brewlieved. They were just a fun team.
  6. OldSchoolSnapper
    That went well.
  7. OldSchoolSnapper
    That's, uh, an interesting way to put it.
  8. OldSchoolSnapper
    If they got this back to Milwaukee somehow, the whole mood would shift toward expecting to win. If we're going to lose I don't want to do it at home. But that's not really how these things work.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah I think way too much "they're worn out" AND "the Dodgers have too much money" is being thrown around. It's a lot easier to admit those things than just the possibility that we stopped playing well at a very bad time. I'm not saying the other stuff isn't a factor...but I think all of it's a factor, and the latter is the biggest one.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    I'm kinda done with Murphy slander. He's a huge part of why we got here. I give him a ton of credit for this team's soul. So will everyone else after we win the next 4... I just don't think he did or didn't do anything that cost us.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah I think this is a solid take. It's more therapeutic to lament this substitution or this start than to just admit we were inferior, and unlike we usually can, we didn't make up for it on the margins. We couldn't be patient because they threw strikes. We couldn't do anything on the basepaths because we didn't get on base. They didn't need to make a lot of hustle defensive plays. Any flaw we had pitching was fatal because the margin for error was zero.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    Lamenting the openers just feels like spleen venting. Ashby to go lefty lefty made sense. It's Brewers baseball. Those openers haven't lost these games. We can't hit. I'll stick this one out. Even if it's ugly we're about to lose baseball for 6 months.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    Seems more random than anything. Don't know our home record but that probably isn't great. We've advanced 3x in my life and two of those required a decisive game 5. This is actually the first time I've realized we've never won a 7-game series.
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't think the Steelers are going to do much. But I'm glad Aaron isn't lifeless and they should probably make the playoffs, which is a more dignified exit and I'm glad he's going to go out that way.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    The pitching choices have not hurt the Brewers outcomes in the slightest. Considering the opponent, it mostly worked out as intended. I can't pin this on one guy or moment, but that Turang Game 1 9th inning AB felt like the hole in the life boat.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    I think it's kind of a compliment to this team that I still have some non-fantastical vision of winning this series. Like I expect them to still go out and play like they think they can win, which isn't always the case. This is a bummer. I really did not see this version of this team going out like this.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    You're a great fan and I'm sure you stood up a lot. I apologize for everything.
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    Correct. It was not some admonishment of Brewers fans. You have to give them something to cheer.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    6-year SSH and I was at Game 6 and Game 7 of the two prior NLCS. However, unlike you, I don't think that makes me a better fan than someone who doesn't want to buy a ticket for any of about a million legitimate reasons. The fans had their energy sucked out both games, by Marcum and Yasiel Puig. It was the same thing after those moments. Sitting around praying something would happen, with the excitement sucked out of the building. It's completely baffling to me why you're taking that so incredibly personally.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    My God dude. You really can't accept the fact that the home team's fans were more roused in a game they were winning and cranking out home runs, than they were during a game where they didn't hit a ball out of the infield until the 9th inning. Do you not see the hilarity in both of you showing up here during the game you were allegedly at, to post here about how great the crowd was? I know that when I'm at AmFam and the place is rocking, the first thing I do is whip out my phone and log on to BF! Go load the stream in innings 2-8 and take a look at the fans behind the plate. Tell me what they're doing. I can't make it any more clear: The Brewers play itself sucked the life out of the stadium. There was very little home field advantage after the first inning in either game. It's OK - it's not an attack on you, or the kind of fan you are, even though you seem hell-bent on categorizing any fan who didn't attend the game as beneath you.

    It was a great year, really. I think in one of those prospectus things I read in March we were something like 80-82. Even the consensus here in late April was "rebuilding year." I said it at some point. We looked really bad. We got the Webbs streak. We won the division. Turang, Frelick, Chourio were all improved. Miz was a lot of fun. Woodruff was throwing well. Won the division. Eliminated the Cubs. The end is never fun, but it was a great year.
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    On the disappoinment side of things, I think the worst part of this is that if you told me we'd surrender 2, 5 and 3 runs respectively, I'd probably guess we were ahead 2-1. I knew their pitching was good. It was their lineup that I thought would overwhelm us. It didn't and we never really competed in these games.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    They're the two most talented guys.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    It wasn't actually. The point was that that loud crowd was stymied by lousy play, which it was. Two guys who were there took offense and were posting during the game, which should tell you what you need to know about the atmosphere.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Obviously this is better. But they have been incredibly successful for the last 10 years. People naturally start to yearn for more. People want to see their team win one. Can't fault them for that.
