This is going to be the first time in franchise history that the Brewers will put playoff tickets on sale and I won’t be buying any.
We’ll just be getting back from our trip and my daughters really can’t conveniently go to weekday or weeknight games, The NLDS tickets will go on sale while I’m gone.
They said on TV that Taylor was in the original lineup. I wonder what happened to him.
BTW, for anyone who has mlb.tv, have they eliminated the blackouts? When I scroll through the channels looking for a game to put on the Brewers games have been on.
If so I’ll be celebrating in a pub in London.
I would appreciate it if they could wrap it up over the weekend so I can ignore the games that start at 1 in the morning.
Very appropriate showing him against the team for which he played on 3 World Series winners.
While his tenure as Brewers GM was not very successful, his signing with the Brewers as a free agent in 1977 gave the Brewers organization some credibility that opened the door to their success in the following years.
64 Phillies
I was around at the time and remember how shocking that collapse was. Baseball historians might enjoy this video.
I went to college near Philly a few years later, and I can tell you that Phillies fans were as traumatized by 1964 as Cubs fans were by their collapse in 1969. When the Phillies got competitive again in the mid 70’s they were so “phatalistic” that they kept holding their breath until the magic number reached 0.
The Cardinals might be a crappy team with crappy pitching in general, but they seem to know how to get the Brewers out. 7 games against them this season and the Brewers have scored just 14 runs and have been shut out 3 times.
Whoever they throw out to the mound the Brewers have trouble scoring. With 6 more games left against them the Brewers better figure something out.
