Masterpiece by Carpenter, and he already earned his extension.
Here's to a repeat of 1982!
Whoa slow down. Might wanna wait till they win something before bringing up old s***. You just jinxed the cards.

Would be a lot more amazing if it wasn't a stupid 5-game series.Brando70 wrote:Amazing that both the Phillies and Yankees got bounced in the divisional series.
Not the celebration per se...the celebrations at all times during the season. Just a bunch of punks really. Good punks of course.Lancer wrote:This Cards teams reminds me of the won that won the WS a few years ago.
I didn't find anything wrong w/ the Brewers celebration.
Yeah, I'm rooting for the Tigers as well. I hate the Brewers so I'd like to see the Cardinals advance, although it would be nice if they would stop showing the dugout during the broadcast so I don't have to see LaRussa or the big cheater.Diablo25 wrote:I thought the Nyger Morgan thing was embarrassing. What a joke that guy is. Talented ballplayer but if I ran the Brewers I would be embarrassed. I cannot stand how the Brewers carry themselves. They act like a bunch of defensive backs in the NFL. I'll be pulling for the Tigers in the playoffs. Tom Brookens (Tigers coach) is a friend of mine so I gotta pull for him.

Love the TBS high def broadcast, but the ratings for the NLCS are going to reach historic lows.
I think I spelled it out above. I have nothing against their fans. I used to live in Wisconsin and played in the Brewers organization for 7 years so I have an idea on their fans. I respect and enjoy them. I'm just not a fan of the NFL celebration mentality their players have after going first the third on a single or completing a secondary lead. Feel free to disagree but they are acting like children. i thnk Morgan actually is a child..or has a chemical imbalance...I'm not kidding on that last onevinny-b wrote:how can anyone actually hate Milwaukee.

"He's having a good year for them. He's a talented guy. He's close to the edge as far as creating problems and trouble. It takes away from the player that he's been for them with his fuse being so short and actually looking for things to instigate. I hope he gets a clue. It's the truth. He could be the player that he is without instigating."
Screw them. Its good for baseball.Diablo: haven't watched too many Milwaukee games recently. However, i think i know what you mean. Of late, the NFL is grading on me for this very reason. Very annoying. And unnecessary.Diablo25 wrote:I think I spelled it out above. I have nothing against their fans.

I was there in the 90's but a number of those guys were still in the organization when I got there. You are right on Hamilton - great guy. He always was cool when he came down to minor league camp. He never big leagued anyone. I had to deal with Surhoff during the strike year in spring training of '95. He was the Brewers players rep. I remember him being very honest with us in telling us about crossing the line to play in "scab" games. Whenever a big league guy came down to minor league camp or came down during the season to rehab they were mostly cool. I played with/against a number of guys on rehab assignments. Matt Williams was probably the coolest. He talked to me for like 30 minutes while shagging during BP the one day. Just came up and started BSing with me. I remember Pat Listach being somewhat of a dick. He was coming off being ROY in '92 so he was feeling good about himself. Maybe he was having a bad day. Billy Spiers was a great dude. He rehabbed with us for like 2 weeks after back surgery and was first class all the way. Hooked us all up with gear, fed us well after the games, etc. If you remember in '92 the Brewers were making a run at the AL East and I remember being the one to tell Spiers that Toronto had acquired David Cone. We were on the bus going to play South Bend (White Sox) when I told him. It took the wind right out of his sails. Francona was the manager of that South Bend team. The Brewers lost the division VERY late in the year that season. Cone was a big part of it.vinny-b wrote:Diablo: haven't watched too many Milwaukee games recently.

by the way, did you play with any of the Brewers minor league players from the 1985-1988 time frame? Was able to get to know several of the players. B.J. Surhoff, Dan Plesac, Juan Nieves, Dale Sveum, Mike Felder, Glenn Braggs, Bill Wegman, Mike Birkbeck, Billy Jo Robidoux, etc. Joey Meyer gave me his first baseman's glove. Of all the mentioned players, Chris Bosio was the only ass. The last player remember is Darryl Hamilton. Another VERY cool dude. At the time he was in the AZ instructional

That said I agree that the brewers should be embarrassed about how they act on the field. That's one thing I'm extremely proud of the braves for...win or lose...always a classy organization. Too bad that doesnt translate to rings.
True. 15 straight division titles with only one ring...does that to a fanbase I guess. Wish I lived closer. It's still the only major championship any of my teams have in my lifetime, so I'm forever thankful I've got one at least. LOL.Aristo wrote:Or fans that show up to watch games.
Atlanta has never been a very good baseball town. Luckily Ted Turner jumped in early on the cable side, which allowed the team to still make enough money to support a class organization.dbdynsty25 wrote:True. 15 straight division titles with only one ring...does that to a fanbase I guess.

I'm an old school type fan, so I can where people dislike some of the Brewers antics. Aside from Morgan though, it's all in good fun. If you have issues with beast mode (which has been overdone lately), you should have issues with the claw and whatever that snakebite thing is the Diamondbacks were doing. I'd rather none of them did these things, but it's not even close to the celebrations orchestrated by NFL an NBA players.
Well, I got the impression that Arizona was mocking the Brewers. Maybe I'm wrong. Cards fans have been annoyed by the Brewers BS ever since they started the whole untucking their shirts thing. I'd have to think that the '82 Brewers would think these guys are bunch of dipshits. I don't think Gorman Thomas ever needed to go into Beast Mode.matthewk wrote:I'm having a great time watching Brewers baseball in October. I can still feel the sting of 1982. Even though I was only 12 at the time, I still remember watching the games on television.
It's a strange feeling. Usually this time of year is 100% Packers. I really want them to beat the Cardinals. They're the Cardinals. I grew up hating them
Funny how my kids don't have any grasp on how special this is. They may sit down and watch parts of the games with me, but they have no idea how rare this is.
I'm enjoying the ride, no matter where it ends. Go Brewers!
She's been there for most games this season. Friday night they zoomed in on Counsell in the on deck circle while she was "adjusting" things. HD is great.lexbur wrote:I just like watching that chick who has been sitting in the first row right behind the plate in Milwaukee. Go Brewers!
