I can wait for the hysteria to die down to get merchandise. I definitely don’t want a black T-shirt because I want things to wear when I go to Florida in January and black isn’t always that comfortable in the hot sun.
-
This will be my greatest memory of the 2026 playoff run I was at game two against the Padres with our youngest daughter who was in town from Florida to run the lakefront half marathon. She pulled out her phone and took this quick video moments after the winning run crossed the plate. This and the look on her face and the reactions of the people around us are priceless IMG_5038.mov

Indescribable feeling. I’m probably going to spend the whole day surfing for reaction and highlight videos while I try to decide how early I have to leave tomorrow morning to get to the parade. I’ll also be falling asleep a few times to make up for what I’ve lost the last few nights. No concerns about next year. After several decades of waiting THIS IS NEXT YEAR.
-
If the tying run comes to the plate, I might have a heart attack.
-
After what I spent for those tickets for game six I will be going. Maybe being there in person instead of watching on TV will be the charm.
-
Tonight will be the fourth time in my life that I have tuned into a Brewers game in which they had a chance to win the World Series. Until they actually win one I am going to question whether it is ever going to happen.
-
With all of the legitimate discussion about how the Brewers are going to cover nine innings tonight, my focus is on the offense. I don’t think the Brewers will win tonight unless they score at least five runs. Out of context it sounds great to have a presumptive Cy Young award winner on the mound. But the version of Miz that regularly threw six or seven innings with one run or less and double digit strikeouts is gone for this season. Based on his recent outings, I think the best we can hope for is five innings with no more than a run or two allowed. For all the angst about how the bullpen was handled last night, the Brewers really lost last night because they only managed two runs in 11 innings against a parade of decent, but not outstanding, pitchers. . If they can’t do any better today, they are going to lose again. Hopefully more of the hard hit balls from last night can find grass or holes. If the Brewers can put that five or six runs on the board, that might be good enough to win. Maybe they could even win 6 to 2 because the larger cushion would take some of the pressure off the Brewer relievers and put it onto the Rays offense. I don’t think the Brewers can win 2 to 1 or 3 to 2 like they have in some other playoff games without full availability from the A bullpen and I don’t think they have that tonight.

I wanted Patrick over Woodruff to have somebody who is physically capable of going multiple innings.
-
I wonder what the pitching plan is for tomorrow. Do they start Misiorowski with only four days rest when he has been getting five or six for the last several weeks and has not been terribly effective even then. The offense was pretty anemic tonight.
-
Tonight‘s game is an example of why I wasn’t thrilled to see Woodruff on the roster.
-
I walk off come from behind win. Just how the Red Sox started their comeback against the Yankees.
-
We all know that no team has ever won the World Series after being down three games to none. We also all know that the Red Sox did come back to win the 2004 ALCS over the Yankees after being down three games to none. I’m kind of glad that example is out there to serve as a reminder that strange things can and do happen once a seemingly beaten opponent gains some momentum. My general recollection though is that, during my lifetime, teams that have gone ahead three games to none have generally ended up winning the fourth game. So, I scanned back through the World Series results going back to 1950 and found that there have been 15 years in which a team has gone ahead three games to none. 13 times the team has completed the sweep. In the other two years the opponent won the fourth game and lost the fifth. it might be that a team that goes ahead three games to none is a clearly superior teamand/or has established a momentum that has demoralized the opposition. That’s what I am hoping to see tonight, especially after last night’s rout. If I do end up using the game 6 tickets that I bought before the series started, I will be going with some trepidation that we might be witnessing some history that we’d rather not be part of. I’m hoping to witness and be a part of a celebration at the Am Famwatch party tonight

The 1976 50th Anniversary Big Red Machine swept the NLCS and World Series, though the LCS was 3 wins, not 4.
-
I’m not sure if it was a huge mistake. With the angle he had to take to get to the ball caminero would have had to make a pretty significant turn to make a throw back to first. Even with Contreras carrying a piano on his back, he might’ve been able to beat the throw or the throw may have ended up off target.
-
Don’t be like Cubs fans who crowed about the dynasty they were going to have. I just want to savor this while it lasts. My daughters aren’t interested in going on a weeknight (work and children tend to get in the way of things) so I bought myself a single ticket in the club level for the watch party tonight so I can soak in the atmosphere. We still have those Game 6 tickets if we need them.
-
If we’re voting now I think Contreras is the clear favorite. The catcher’s role is huge when the pitchers are dominating.
-
I’m going to violate a personal rule about looking too far ahead, but I wonder what they are planning for a parade and celebration. Obviously to pull something like that off they have to have a plan way in advance. It’s kind of the opposite of a disaster recovery plan. I went to the Bucks parade in 2021 and I’m expecting something like that. My knees and hips are too old to stand in one place, but assuming there is a parade through downtown I will go down there and walk around to soak in the atmosphere. I would expect this to be much bigger because the Brewers fan base is so much bigger.
-
I can’t imagine being that bitter if my favorite team had won that many World Series in my lifetime.
-
Not yet, but I have recorded every playoff game and at some point I will go back and go through them with fast forward and watch the big moments and remember how I felt as these things were unfolding. In the meantime I have watched countless fan reaction videos on You Tube. More than any other I watch ones involving Chourio’s walk off against Miller. There is nothing like the emotion of seeing what looked like a loss turn into a win in a matter of seconds. It isn’t exaggerating to say that if they hadn’t pulled out that game the NLCS and World Series might not have happened for the Brewers.
-
Certainly didn’t expect to have a laugher like that tonight. I would like to go to the Stadium watch party tomorrow for a possible clinching but my daughters can’t go and I don’t want to go by myself. The prices for the few tickets listed on Stub Hub are soaring to over $500. I’m glad the players are keeping the “job not finished” approach because the fans and local announcers are talking like it’s over. I’m really glad that I got to go to that Game 2 against the Padres to get my memorable playoff experience. At this point I don’t want to have to use my Game 6 tickets

Game 7 - Packers @ Lions - Sunday, Oct. 25th @ 3:25 PM

I did not watch yesterday’s game, but seeing some of the stories and reports afterward remind me why I hardly ever watch NFL football anymore The games are so often bogged down, and in some cases decided, by incompetent and inconsistent officiating. Throw in the incompetence of the Packers under LaFleur and I decline to spend time and emotional energy on them. If I put a game on TV, it’s purely for background while I do something else. -
I’m going to spend my off day attending a nice, relaxing, exhibition, college basketball game.
-
Why mess with a winning formula? Let the complaints flow.
-
If I make it through this week I’ll be telling my doctor that I won’t need an EKG or stress test this year.
-
I did not say the Brewers were lucky to win this game. I’m just saying that the Brewers will probably need more offense going forward than they got yesterday to win 3 more games.
