Go Jays! That's all I've got. I haven't watched a second since the Brewers lost, and I'm OK with that. I just want the Dodgers to lose.

While this isn’t the outcome we wanted, there is a lot of reason for hope and optimism. There’s a lot of talent in the pipeline. A few moves here and there to shore up spots will definitely help and the experience and mostly importantly, the feelings in this series of just being manhandled will sit with these guys. And hopefully that’s the indelible memory that sticks with them through their offseason workouts, helping them grind and improve. This is not the teams like I watched in middle and high school where there was Yount at the end of his career an a bunch of other guys. This team has a chance to do something special for multiple years, depending on development, financial decisions and health. It’s a good time to be a Brewer fan!

I saw winning seasons earlier in my life, as I was a very young fan in the early 80’s. But I lived through the mid 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s.

We’re in the playoffs. One of the last 4 team still playing. I’d rather have this than what we experienced in 2002. Just saying.

Truth

At least defense is still good.

I would too, with the caveat of being a bit competitive in getting swept by the Dodgers. This hasn’t been.

Gotcha.

Oh, I know that. But as the pressure tightens, because the game is getting closer to the end, it’s more than likely going to be a more undisciplined approach.

I have a feeling as the innings go by, we’re going to see more at bats like that. Trying to hit a 5 run HR and swinging at everything.

We won’t be winning it. I’m not rooting for it. I’m facing reality. After tonight, I won’t be watching baseball anymore until the spring.

I know.

Oh I know. But if it was a full on rebuild, there’s lots of talent.

That was something. Go win the WS, Dodgers.

Based on the young guys already on the team and the farm system, I’m good with that. But I think having a few veterans would help too.
