I just wanted to put out a note of appreciation for our manager as we head to the postseason and an unknown future. Watching the replay of Cahna's slam last night I noticed Counsell in the dugout. At the crack of the bat his whole body jolted like he had been electrocuted and he was on the phone with the bullpen before the ball landed. I freaking love this guy. I know there are a few great managers out there but he is among the best. His commitment and enthusiasm is obvious and would motivate any player. Plus he is as prepared and decisive as anyone could be, with a great feel for his players strengths. I hope he stays in Milwaukee forever but if he decides to step away or follows Stearns to NY or anywhere else I would not fault him. He deserves whatever he wants.
