    Who cares? Now fans of teams that field good but not great teams have a reason to cheer. All season long they know all they have to do is get in and there's a legitimate chance to win. I'm pretty sure most fans would exchange seeing the two best regular season teams in the World Series to know they have a better chance to see their team play in it. If the point is to have the two best teams play the World Series just put the two best teams in the World Series and skip the playoff altogether.

    I fail to see how fewer teams in the playoffs helps more teams have a chance to win it all in the playoffs.

    I also like the chaos. If the the format favored the best teams too much it would make it that much harder for small market teams to field World Series contenders. As it is teams with flaws can get on a hot streak and win.

    It sucked last night but more because it always sucks when baseball ends. It's part of my daily routine. I hate off days for the same reason. The biggest suckitude of a quick exit is we have to wait weeks before any real Brewers off season action starts. The one thing I'm excited about is I think this off season has a lot interesting story lines to follow. Big trades are probable. A lot of young talent is in the pipeline which lowers the payroll enough to be players in free agency. A possible managerial change which leads to coaching changes.

    I agree with virtually everything you said except this. Five runs in two games isn't a lot but it should have been enough for this team to win at least one of those games. When your starting pitchers fail to produce a quality start on a pitching first team it's going to be hard to win. That should have been the minimum, yet it was too much to ask. The bullpen was pretty good but the one weak link turned out to be our all star closer. When two current all stars and one former all star wet the bed it's hard to blame the role players.

    I was just coming here to mention it. His baseball journey was pretty incredible.

    The problem would be you'd have to eat Red Robin fries. They're so soggy I swear they're boiled not fried.

    How cool would it be if the Brewers had everything wrapped up but the Cubs needed to win the series against the Brewers and couldn't do it? Almost as cool as seeing a 3/4 empty Cardinals stadium in September.

    I don't know if it's dumb as much as desperate.

    This is my personal conspiracy theory on that. Selig was trying to get some amount of revenue sharing for the small market teams. If his team was doing well it would be hard for him to say they needed more revenue sharing to be competitive. It's hard to run a good ship when ownership has a vested reason not to. My non-conspiracy theory is it's hard to run a good ship when you don't have the money for sails.

    I'm sure they were disappointed in how it ended but I think overall it was a good year to be a Philly fan. Their entire existence up to that point not so much.
  12. Thurston Fluff
    Considering they had three winning records over the past decade, won more games than they did since 1899 and the most they'd win until 1976 probably pretty good.

    Thanks. Now all day I'm going to be trying to understand. I wasn't a huge fan of Heart but she really has a great voice.

    I'm happy with Arnold so it's pretty much an I don't care situation. The only way I'm sort of interested in how he does in that I have a suspicion that the only instance a single person can make or break a franchise is when it's the owner. If Stearns can come in and turn around a pretty terribly run franchise with an egomaniac as an owner I may have to rethink that suspicion.

    While I want to win the division because simply it's a division title and it's either us or the Cubs I don't think it matters for how well we do in the playoffs. It doesn't appear to matter how good (or bad) the opponent is or if it's home or away. The Brewers have shown all year long than the quality of the opponent matters about as much as where they play them. Which is to say not much at all.

    Dang this kid can play.

    I was walking my dog today and someone wanted to pet my dog. They asked what her name was and I told them Trillian. They asked if she was named after the character in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I said she was. The lady said she loved the books and loves English humor in general. To which is responded I wonder if commas aren't just apostrophes who are afraid of heights. The blank stare I got either meant she didn't get the English part or it really is that dumb of a joke.

    We get our fair share of beggars in our shop. They always have a hardship story and usually want money for gas to get their paycheck or some other lame reason and always promised to repay us. On occasion we'd give them a bit on the off chance they were being honest and really did need the money. It usually ended up with them coming back a few more times to beg money off us and never to return the money we gave them. Instead of just saying no we decided to give them the money if they gave us their license which we would give back to them once they repaid us. Not once did anyone accept that proposal until about two weeks ago. We gave her $20 and today we got it back with a self addressed envelope asking for us to send her license back and a very kind note of thanks. Not only did I send it back but I also let her have the $20 along with a note that $20 to know I helped an honest person in need was a bargain.

    I doubt there's an actual reason being a DH makes him a poorer hitter than when he plays left field other than luck and small sample size variance. I guess so but add in the others who occasionally need a break and three off days in the next two weeks and it's down to 3 or 4 games a week. That changes in August and there's less of a problem keeping him on the roster if he's not the best option for regular playing time for whatever reason.

    I doubt they want to stop playing Yelich and Contreras at DH so anyone who only DH's is not going to be an everyday player. If I were to guess, and it's only a guess, is they don't want to bring Hiura up to be a part time player.

    I think history has shown any team that makes the playoffs has a chance to win the World Series. I'm not against them making a few moves but I don't think any of the options available are going to change the odds of winning it all by much. We got here with pitching and defense and are going to have to win it with pitching and defense.
  23. Thurston Fluff
    Given they're leading the division with this lineup I think maybe you're wrong.
  24. Thurston Fluff
    If you're asking if I thought he should have been the answer is no for the reasons I mentioned.

    I just started watching Ted Lasso and it's fantastic. It's got a feel good vibe combined with good humor. Hard to beat. One that I've found better than expected is Halo. I was leery of shows based off video games but I must say I'm warming up to them.
