  1. It's possible that with the timing of the end of the season, he could get 10+ days off with a first round bye before throwing a pitch in a game.
  2. I'd much rather Miz come off the field sad after that outing and slam his glove in the dugout. Really show some guy in West Allis on his 4th beer that he's got a winner's mentality.
  3. Stuff is way too good to shut him down. My guess is he goes to middle relief in the playoffs and they try to keep it to lower leverage situations. Or he starts but just goes through the order once.
  4. I sometimes get nostalgic for those days. Not all the losing I guess, but to this day I'm partial to open air stadiums. County was special. I get the necessity of the roof, but it was special. Being a kid, my dad getting random tickets from work on a Tuesday night against the Angels or whatever, coming home and asking if I wanted to go. It was always like the most unexpected surprise in the world. And then maybe see the Brewers maybe win and climb to 60-85, but it didn't matter. The whole baseball experience was geared around watching 2 or 3 guys bat and if they won, even better. My entire childhood (I was like 6-7 when the dark years began so it was all I really knew) was spent with the acceptance that the Brewers were always going to lose, and it was ok. It was never even a consideration to me they'd make a postseason.
  5. But have you seen the Cubs schedule? 65-0 this year against teams under .500 so just close it down now. No point to any of it.
  6. There's a contingent of posters that proclaim every game lost so they can either be happy about being wrong or gloat that they told you so.
  7. I am not too excited about the Packers but not necessarily because I think they will be bad. They just didn't do a whole lot to excite anyone and they were mostly the same level of team the last two seasons. The big acquisition is Golden. He looks good, but he is what he is, and I am not sure expecting him to be the spark plug that puts us at the next tier is fair. Most of the time, I feel I can peg what the Packers are during preseason. I have usually been able to predict when they won't make the playoffs, what tier they are in, give or take a few games, and barring when they have serious injuries in-season. This year, I really do not know what to expect. I could see this team missing the playoffs entirely or legitimately contending winning the NFC. I don't know if their defense gets better in year 2; we have seen DCs fade after early results. I don't know if Jordan Love is serviceable or the star he looked like he could be. I don't know if their younger guys develop enough to get pressure with a base defense - what is LVN? Are the Lions dropping off? The Vikings without a vet QB? Just lots of uncertainty. You can make a case for anything from 7-13 wins and defend the argument rationally.
  8. No, it's all over. The team that actually has the best record should probably just lay down and die at this point. The inferiority complex of this fan base is so apparent right now. Not just here, but throughout the various boards. Are we a contender or not? If we are, we should be ok. If playing PHI and TOR is that big of a deal, why is the 1 seed so important? We'd play the same teams. If we do lose the division, it's a 3 game series as punishment. It's not like we couldn't win that. Just enjoy what's left of the freaking year, we have a good chance, and hope for the best outcome.
  9. I am enjoying all the talk about how we are doomed because of the schedule yet we just lost to two sub .500 teams. The strength of schedule only seems to matter when it benefits the Cubs. It's assumed that they will just beat anyone with a record worse than theirs.
  10. The schedule wouldn't make a lick of difference.
  11. And yet it if we were 5 games behind, nobody would be acting like it's a sure thing we'd win the division.
  12. I don't think I can handle the month long turmoil of the season being declared over every 3 days as we oscillate between 4 and 7 games up in the standings.
