Congrats, Brewers

Way to rally back from a collapse. Collapses suck. I hope you ride your comically fat players as far as they'll take you.

I read that C.C. will start every game , he'll be gone after the season so why the heck not. Seriously though , congrats.

Fuck you Brewers.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 29 2008 08:06 AM

Fuck you, Milwaukee Brewers. Your inability to take even one of the four games at Philadelphia provided the impetus for the entire "collapse" by allowing Philly to gain ground when any loss could have buried them and put the Wild Card into play when you should have been sewing it up. You fucked up everything. Your players are fat assholes and so are your fans. Sit on it, Chachi.

If that Philly/Brewers series turned out any differently we'd still be just as out of it. They picked themselves up out of their (much worse) losing streak and we didn't. I don't think they're going too far anyway. Sheets admits he's done for the season, they can't pitch CC every game even though they have little incentive to protect his arm, and their pen rivals ours for suckiness. I'm not going to bitch about their first playoff appearance in 26 years and, although I personally wouldn't mind seeing them dust off the Phils in the first round, I don't think it's going to happen.

Oh they're playing Philly? I want to change my answer to: Go Brewers, then Fuck You Brewers.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 29 2008 09:32 AM

Yeah, I have to root for the Brewers to beat the Phillies. I'm not at all interested in seeing the Dodgers, Phillies, or Cubs win the pennant, so I guess I'm with the Brewers in the NL. (Just as well that I'm not going to watch the games.)

themetfairy Sep 29 2008 09:32 AM

Yes. Go Brewers, and Go Cubs Go. I don't want to see Mother Torresa advancing any further than he already has.

sharpie Sep 29 2008 09:35 AM

I don't mind the Cubs winning. Get rid of all of that 20th Century "curse" shit. Red Sox and White Sox have won, let the Cubs win this year and move on.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 29 2008 09:36 AM

Yeah, I know I can't quantify this, but the Mets' struggles began when they heard footsteps, and they might never have heard them had the Brewers kept Philly down. I hope the Phillies kick their asses. I'm OK, I think with any of Philly, the Dodgers or the Cubs representing. Cubs and Phillies most I guess.

Fman99 Sep 29 2008 09:38 AM

My primary motivation now is to see the Phillies get beat, again. After that I don't care much. I also know some obnoxious Red Sawx fans so if they could get knocked out, all the better. Go Rays. Go Cubs.

TransMonk Sep 29 2008 09:39 AM

Stuck in Brewer land today. I've been good about getting congratulations out early...and honestly I've been better about being a gracious loser than I thought I would be. I will probably end up pulling for them in October, but the further they go, the more obnoxious their fans will get.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 29 2008 09:40 AM

Since I live in the Philadelphia market, my main interest in the post-season is to see the Phillies expire as soon as possible. I suspect that they'll survive the first round.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 29 2008 09:45 AM

I don't see why all you guys hate the Phillies so much. They beat us fair and square two years straight, they did it with a mainly homegrown roster, they're not impetuous dillweeds like the Marlins and their fans have suffered every bit as much as we have over the years. I would have loved to have stuck it to them but we didn't. They won. They're better.

The Mets fate was in their hands every day except the second to last one. I can't hold anybody accountable not on the Mets payroll. If my daughter was choosing between C.C. Sabathia and Brett Myers to take her to the prom, I'd hope she's go for the fat one. So I'll go hand it to the Milwaukees.

Vic Sage Sep 29 2008 09:53 AM

Screw the Brew Crew. And while I'm at it... ...Phuck the Phils, ...the Cubs are cokksukkers, and ...the dodgers are dildoes. As for the AL: ...the Sox sukk (both red & white), ...the Rays reak, ...the Twinnies are ninnies, and ...I ani-hate Aniheim J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

Benjamin Grimm Sep 29 2008 09:56 AM

I don't hate the Phillies. And I never hated the Braves either. The Phillies fans, though, are a bunch of louts (with exceptions, of course) and I'd like to see the Phillies lose just to shut them up. (I feel the same way about the Eagles, to a greater degree.)

Like BG, I live among them. To be fair, most of the ones I interact with have been pleasant. But it would still be nice to shut them the hell up.

Jimmy Rollins is a bollox pure and simple , I will root for him to fail .....if it wasn't for him I might like them a little.

G-Fafif Sep 29 2008 11:06 AM

26 years is long enough to wait. Congratulations Brewers fans.

Vince Coleman Firecracker Sep 29 2008 01:27 PM

Let's go Dodgers!

willpie Sep 29 2008 01:27 PM

A friend of mine insists that, in sports, you must root for teams from your conference/division in the playoffs. His rationale is that if they win, that means their conference/division is the best, and your team, consequently, is from the best conference (and therefore less sad than all the other non-champs). I can't decide if he's a genius or a fool. Either way, I'm not rooting for the Phillies.

Willets Point Sep 29 2008 01:30 PM

I want the Phillies to win just so that these lost division races won't have been in vain.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 29 2008 01:38 PM

Huh?
