If Shohei gets hot and the Dodgers roll out Skubal and Yamamoto for games 5 and 6 the series gets interesting real quick.

The Brewers are just so much fun to watch. Complete team, complimentary baseball, they do all the little things. And they have a manager with amazing luck or great feel for the game.

Thankfully now I don't have to altogether ignore or hate watch the LAD in the Series. Full on Brewers crush.

I don't even care who wins it now that the twin Evil Empires are out. I guess as a giant FU to Manfred and the networks I'd like to see the two teams who knocked them out. Tampa/Milwaukee will be MLB/Fox's worst nightmare. And I'll watch every second of it

It is interesting to imagine what the dodgers conversation would be like right now if Toronto didn't choke last year

I just want to say…

**** the Dodgers. **** fat Tommy Lasagna. **** that sanctimonious cheating POS Steve Garvey. **** LA and their cheating lying thieving crooked owner who broke baseball by literally stealing money to fund his team.

Now I feel better. Got that off my chest.

If it's Cleveland vs. Milwaukee it will be a WS with 2 cities who combined populations are less than 1 million people (CLE about 350,000 and Milwaukee about 575,000). You have to wonder how long it's been since that happened

Dodgers latest excuse......."If the Astros did not cheat and win the AL West, we would have swept the Brewers and won the World Series".

I may get my cousin (a medical missionary) to make a detour into some impoverished areas of Sierra Leone to get me a Dodgers 2026 WS Hat.

Actually this is more accurate for the stupid way they wear their hats plus leaving the sticker on.

going further...

the Brewers won 103 games in the regular season

currently 7-1 in the postseason

if they win the WS 4-0 or 4-1

would be in the discussion for top 5 team of the 21st century

21-4 in their last 25 games. I'd say they're on a pretty good heater. It's a really good time for that type of run.

Bauers gets NLCS MVP in his walk year.

Another 30+ Jim Crane special coming? His walk rate/battling tendencies would seem to pair well with Paredes at each corner.

Give the Brewers all the credit they deserve especially considering how long they haven't been able to get over the hump.

That said, getting swept puts a damper on LA's recent run. Houston never got the broom in a playoff series during its Golden Era from 2017 to 2023. Just something to keep in mind if any Doyer fans start yapping about the Astros.

In a sort of twist of fate or happenstance we ended our little family trip through Oklahoma by staying in the hotel that overlooks the Doyers AAA Affiliate.

Why the LA team has their AAA affiliate in OKC I have no idea
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

How many beers will it take to be able to piss off your balcony onto their field?

Is this true??



I think he'd be in the maybe? pile of rings. Its not like he was there for half a season. It was 10 days or close to it.


Would be awesome for him to get one though
