torts

but how has that worked out in the last 40 years? I mean, it's been since 1982 that we made that trip to the WS. I mean... I dont care about 1982? I dont see why that matters, the league is not the same as it was 40 years ago. baseball has expanded, the brewers have switched leagues. if in the expanded, reshuffled league, teams like Tampa, KC and Cleveland have made it, the Brewers have just as likely of a shot. 82 doesn't matter, I was giving your post some context. We haven't been in the WS since 1982, something is wrong with that. It matters because you are hanging your hat on 3 small market teams that had some success against the odds. That surely doesn't mean that all small market teams will see that same success. If the current system is set up so that small market teams "might" make the WS every 40 years or so, then your positive outlook becomes a little sad. I hope KC enjoyed their little run, because there is a chance they never sniff the WS again. What TB does is just crazy, but somehow they find ways. Is Cleveland considered a small market team? I guess I've never considered them small market... The league is pretty different than it was in 1982, so I don't think it's fair to say it takes 40 years to do whatever. There are 4 more teams that are drafting and signing talent, which has ripple effects to everyone else and who they draft/sign. Look at the last ~20 years since the last expansion and the move to the NL. While they haven't made the world series, they've made the playoffs and won the division a handful of times, which is on par with most other small market teams. I don't think things are that bad for the franchise

Oh man, this take is too much

Look, if teams like tampa and Kansas City and Cleveland can make the world series, there is zero reason Milwaukee can't also. I always hold out hope that this is the year, and if other small market/payroll franchises can do it, so can Milwaukee

It makes me feel a little less bummed, thanks for sharing!

How do we move JBJ with that salary? this is the optimism thread! In THIS thread there's always a way. EXACTLY!

off-season has officially started for Milwaukee, and I am OFFICIALLY PUMPED FOR NEXT SEASON! NO REST FOR THE OPTIMIST! Rotation? CHECK. Bullpen? DOUBLE CHECK. Infield? TRIPLE CHECK. Could they use some help in the outfield and DH? SURE! OH DH YOU SAY? YEAH THATS GOING TO HAPPEN! I have no reason to not believe Stearns and Co. will make some moves! LETS GO BREWERS!!!

Let's not forget we made it further than the cubs and Cardinals, always a win in my books

I needed a good laugh, thank you

He hasn't looked right since that knee injury

I AM SO PUMPED THANKS FOR THAT DOUBLE PLAY! LETS GO BREWERS!!!!! CRUSH THEEEMMMMMM

the best part is that Chase should not be in consideration for starting any game, and should only pitch if someone gets shelled as a way to save relief arms from having to come in.

I wont be mad if Sherzer wins because he's just ridiculously good right now. i'll be mad if its not close (one way or the other). this shouldnt be an easy decision, and should be close when the vote totals are tallied.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS SEASON!!!! THIS HAS BEEN AMAZING!!! FULL CAPS LOCK ON FOR THE REAST OF MY LIFE! SO PUMPED! LETS GO BREWERS!!!! WIN IT ALL !!@!@%!@%!

Can you imagine being a padres fan right now?

Full return for #Nationals Max Scherzer-Trea Turner deal with Dodgers is catcher Keibert Ruiz, RHPs Josiah Gray and Gerardo Carrillo, and OF Donovan Casey, source confirms
