The Brewers have never won a World Series. Unless they’re playing us, I would not have a problem with them winning the World Series and I don’t automatically root for the American League anymore.

I could do this.  And that's a damn good price.

Those dogs and beers look short.  I know dogs and beers, I’ve consumed both on numerous occasions, sometimes a little of too much of one or the other or both.  But those are not standard sized dogs and beers.

On the flip side, ok, we can kid about the 9/9/9 here or with friends or whatever.  But is it really a good idea to have the offer available for someone that might be driving?  I mean, look, I understand they aren’t encouraging the driving after part of it.  But this doesn’t seem like the kind of promotion that a pro sports team should allow, does it?

And now a word gambling partner….

Brewers have now scored three in the first. 

Old friend Matt Boyd on the struggle bus.

Sounds like a lively and mixed crowd there.  That series could be raucous.

Fourth run scores and Boyd is pulled getting only two out in the first inning.

By the way, all the NL games in this set of rounds can be accessed through either TNT or HBO Max.

Bat around for the Brewers in the 1th inning.  They’ve gor the Bert and there are still only 2 outs.

They threaten and they score.  That’s not a bad concept.

Now six runs scored in the first inning against the Cubs by the Brewers. 

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the contract that Counsell got from the Cubs and the Brewers not skipping a beat after that.

Ok, more along now.

Mariners have never one a World Series either. Another good option (if the Tigers don't beat them). A Brewers/Mariners World Series could be fun.

That is 56 years and 11 playoff appearances.  I would say they deserve it.

I’m not used to watching TNT broadcasts and I don’t know if they’re doing something different, but the camera angles and the brightness of the color in the picture seem better than what I’m used to seeing on a regular mlb.tv broadcast.

The Milwaukee Braves won the WS in 1957. The Brewers can win it in 2057...

If I can last that long, I hope I’m downloaded into a new body in a no-currency, post scarcity Star Trek society.

I bet 3 of those equals one large can you buy. As long as they say “please drink responsibly” I guess it is covered

I’ve never watched Ohtani pitch. I might watch the Dodgers-Phillies game when it starts in a couple hours just for that.

It'll just make you hate the Dodgers even more. And question the Angels front office. They had Ohtani and prime Trout and couldn't build around them

It's kind of safe to say that alcohol can destroy lives. 😒

I tried to watch that game, but a game that doesn’t directly include my team or impact it in some easily discernible manner just can’t hold my interest.

"'Right from the beginning, I have been a Tiger fan and nothing else,' Max Lapides said this summer. 'Other men can happily go to ball games wherever they happen to find themselves--not me. My interest is the Tigers. They are the sun, and all the other teams merely satellites."

--Roger Angell, "Three for the Tigers" (1973)
