    For christos sake

    Win or go homie and dudes looking at strike three.
  3. 82brewcrew82
    Yeah, not impressed with the lineup but we shall see.
  4. 82brewcrew82
    That's good because the last few years make it seem pretty darn improbable.
  5. 82brewcrew82
    Whether anything more can be done to build a better team more suitable for postseason play is debatable. Whether the system is flawed or not is irrelevant. It's the system we have and the system they will be judged against. If anything can happen, why does the same thing keep happening?
  6. 82brewcrew82
    OK, so everyone was wrong and that became clear very early on. This Brewers started hot and never really looked back. At some point the expectations have to change based on that performance.

    I understand your perspective. It's a bit too cynical for me and I don't agree with it, but I get it. Every business in the world operates under constraints aimed at making a profit. That doesn't preclude them from wanting to be the best at whatever it is they do. Every significant organization started off as an industry dis-rupter and had to find creative ways to compete in order to rise to the top. The Brewers are an industry dis-rupter. So yeah, profit matters and it always will. Having said that, the Brewers do things that are not profit conducive but rather are aimed at winning. The pour millions into player development, particularly Latin America, that they don't have to. Certainly they could keep that money as profit, other teams do rather than reinvest in the product. No, this is purely a move to find ways to compete. I would argue that the fans are the largest part of driving winning, particularly championships. Without the fans, none of it exists. If every Brewer fan stopped going to games, watching on TV and buying merch, they would become the Portland Brewers very quickly.

    I mean, OK, but this really seems like the emotional protectionism, which you assigned to others who care about winning championships, under the guise of a reasoned response. The whole point is to win championships. Full stop. Why else exist as a professional sports franchise. Even if you don't buy that then at least winning a playoff series. I mean, some level of post season success is necessary at some point if you are going to claim to be the best run organization in the league. At some point you have to back that up with something other than being the playoff springboard for teams that win. If your goal is simply to not suck, then this would be a pretty boring hobby.
  9. 82brewcrew82
    Yeah, it's a problem.
  10. 82brewcrew82
    Someone made the comment earlier in the thread that it wasn't about talent. It is absolutely about talent.
  11. 82brewcrew82
    I meant just getting to that point.
  12. 82brewcrew82
    Just random baseball stuff.
  13. 82brewcrew82
    Hell, I'd feel the same about the NLCS.
  14. 82brewcrew82
    Well, that was a let down being competitive for half the game. We shall see what they are made of tomorrow.
  15. 82brewcrew82
    Negative nancy
  16. 82brewcrew82
    Eh, it's just random baseball stuff so who knows.
  17. 82brewcrew82
    Its only one game, why so upset?
  18. 82brewcrew82
    They had their chance at an early knockout blow but failed. Then let themselves down in the 5th. Pretty much the story.
  19. 82brewcrew82
    No indication of that happening. Just gonna have to give it their best effort tomorrow. Gigantic uphill climb to get out of this round now.
  20. 82brewcrew82
    Because it's "us".........and knowing that actually makes it worse.....
  21. 82brewcrew82
    Yeah, it' easy to say watching it on TV but it sure looked like the wind left the sails after that inning.
  22. 82brewcrew82
    They have 12 base runners, outside of the errors. We've had 11. They have twice as many runs.
  23. 82brewcrew82
    Don't worry, it's just random baseball stuff.
  24. 82brewcrew82
    I'm not one to do so but I understand those that do. Fans only have so many ways to voice displeasure.
  25. 82brewcrew82
    I fear if no answer here then this might be over.
