PRE-GAME CHATTER

 

The Milwaukee Brewers, dealt a severe blow with the season-ending injury to Christian Yelich 2 and-a-half weeks ago, have been beating anybody and everybody ever since ........ the Brewers had won their 5th consecutive game when Yelich went down with a fractured kneecap on September 10th. They have gone 12-2 in the 14 games since, and are on a 17-2 overall run in their last 19 games.

 

The Milwaukeeans' 2019 season has been a quintessential example of "Next Man Up."

 Why am I so sad about the approaching end of the season that has been so disappointing, and a team that has treated me so badly? 

And yet I am sad, go figure.

Last series of the year. I'll actually miss watching these guys play unlike the 2018 squad.

I hope it cheers everybody up to know that these games are as meaningless for the Red Sox as they are for us. Misery loves company especially if said with a Boston accent…

The only thing that could make the misery of Boston playing for nothing in this series enjoyable would be the O's knocking Boston out of a playoff spot in this series.

This season has gone by so fast. Seems faster than last season.

Last year's season felt like it was 5 years long.

I can't believe the final series is here.  This is depressing.

Once the mystery of who the O's would get in the fire-sale trades of their tradeable players last season, there was nothing more to keep us interested.  this year it has been fun to watch some of these guys develop and battle (Alberto, Santander, Means, Hays, etc.)

 

[Yossarian]

The way Boston handled their pitchers through spring training and early in the season has to be one of the biggest blunders in recent memory.  Their fans have to be PO'd.

[Chavez Ravine]

Just for the memories.
