    Thanks for this awesome compilation article. Pin this one on the top of the Front Page News until spring training, so that we can relive/reminisce/relish these "team" moments.

    Having had time to reflect, what's remarkable to me is that if we asked at the beginning of the season, "What would it take for the Brewers to win it all this year?", I think most would say that we would need a few players to exceed expectations, and a couple players to have an MVP like season. We really only had one - the Miz - and even he was fading down the stretch. And that's the thing. Over the course of the year, literally EVERY ONE of our regular players (position players and pitchers, rookies and deadline acquisitions) had a run, but then also went into a funk where you started to worry if they were unplayable. But whenever someone went into a funk, someone else had their back and went on a run. The whole season and post season I've been saying to myself, "The Brewers as a team haven't played their best baseball yet." But the truth is, the best version of this Brewers team was "If someone goes into a funk, someone else has their back." The truth is, the Brewers played the best version of themselves THE ENTIRE YEAR, from game 1 to game 175. That's what I will love and remember about this team forever. Not the individual accomplishments, or even the individual moments, but their RELENTLESS "we've got each other's back" effort.

    I can say this with complete satisfaction. It's time to retire our 1982 nostalgia. Time to pass the baton and glory in this team...until the next one.

    This game was the epitome of the 2026 Brewers. They still didn't play their best baseball...AND THEY'RE STILL THE CHAMPS!

    I personally saved this post for myself as a beautiful encapsulation of the beauty of that first experienced championship. I felt that way about the Packers in 1996, and the Bucks in 2021. ONE MORE GAME to experience that freedom ONE MORE TIME. Post of the year!

    I LOVE WOODY..AND I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I predict the Bucks tonight have caught "Brewer Fever" and will be the start of a RELENTLESS rebuild.
  8. ErnieRilesBrianGiles
    The best part about not playing their best baseball yet, is that we've been saying this about them ALL YEAR! This is who they are... 'Not our best baseball' DOMINANCE!

    To me, it's about hopes finally NOT being dashed. 1982 - Starting following the Crew as a kid. Fell in love with that team, and even after they lost, was sure they'd win in a year or two 1987 - Listened to every game on the radio, and was crushed when all those magical moments ended outside the playoffs 1992 - Watched every Sports Center highlight, and was sure that September run was going to take them all the way 2002ish - With Doug Melvin on board, started following the minors religiously, and brewerfan,net only fueled my optimism that this team was slowly but surely building something special 2008-12 - was so sure the prospects I'd been following for years (Hardy, Hart, Prince, Weeks, Braun) would eventually win won for us. When Corey Hart left, I remember feeling so sad. It was the end of an era, start of another rebuild, and nothing to show for it. 2018-24 - with an MVP and elite pitching, and yet one crushing playoff exit after another, I resigned myself to the fact that the playoffs are a crapshoot, and just enjoy the journey 2025-26 - with the best prospect system in baseball, I was hopeful that maybe...someday...we might get a lucky break and sneak into a World Series, maybe when Chourio and Miz and Made are in their prime. I never expected this kind of run...this year...with this group of gamers.

    As much as I love booing Counsell, for that reason, we maybe should start giving him a standing O. If Counsell is never our manager, than Murphy is never in the Brewers organization. If Counsell hadn't left and Murphy took his place, I don't think we are in the World Series. So Greg, here's to you! Thanks for coming, and thanks for LEAVING!

    ...also that out of the three players we got in the Durbin trade (Harrison, Drohan, Hamilton), Hamilton would be the one who would have a HUGE role in making it to the World Series, including the best OPS on the team. Speaking of which, if there is one ex Brewer who I was sad wasn't a part of the celebration last night, it's Caleb Durbin. That dude seemed like the perfect fit for this RELENTLESS club persona. But after what Hamilton did last night and this postseason, I'm glad we made the trade.

    RELENTLESS!

    How about that Burnes trade, baby! Hall and Ortiz lock down the 7th.

    Pratt is such a gamer, and such a Brewer. So impressed with the rookie.
  15. ErnieRilesBrianGiles
    I think the reason Manny continues to get boo'ed (and will continue to do so) is two fold: 1) it was a dirty, morally wrong play 2) he showed no remorse after it happened Here's my comparison: Ryan Braun's PED mess: Was it dirty/ morally wrong? Yes. Did he show remorse? Eventually, yes. Therefore, he's no longer boo'ed (and after years of at least outward humility, he's actually beloved). Greg's managerial mess: was it dirty/morally wrong to choose to manage the Cubs? YES Did he show remorse? Like, Manny, NO. Therefore, he is and will be eternally booed. Brewer fans are a forgiving bunch. Manny and Greg, just own up to it, and the Boos will go away.

    I'm surprised the original "Coop" hasn't been mentioned. I think right now I would choose Cecil over Christian, though a Brewer World Series the next couple years, and Yeli not completely tanking the last two years of his contract would put him on the Mount.

    Brewers' record vs playoff teams this year: Dodgers - 4-3 Braves 3-3 Padres - 2-4 Cubs 9-4 Phillies - 4-2 Rays - 2-1 Guardians 2-1 Astros 2-1 Yankees 3-0 Red Sox 1-2 White Sox 3-0 WE WANT THE PADRES, BRAVES and RED SOX. TOTAL DOMINATION! "THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!"

    Ernie Riles (#1) was traded for Jeffrey Leonard (#0). The bye is coming...

    I'm usually indifferent at worst about Murph, but pulling Pratt cost the game. This game is on him, and he should sit out a game.
