I had taken a week and a half off in preparation of the Brewers possibly making the World Series
It would be my first real vacation at my job in the 4 years I’ve been there, but I think I’m going to cancel it. All I’m going to be able to think about is how much of a disappointment the end of the series has been.

I’m as down as anyone about this season, but the first vacation in 4 years?
Do it.

The Crew making it to the WS has been a dream of mine since I was a kid going to the games with my dad. I was only 1 when they did it last so I obviously have no memory of that. Now it just seems like that’s slipping slowly and painfully away.

It’s almost as though the Cardinals went and got two really good starters just for the playoffs. Maybe even more valuable than 2 front-line starters.

I feel like something is conspiring in favor of the Cardinals this season
How else can you explain this season for them?
- They lose their best pitcher before the season, yet still have a good pitching staff.
- Their best player has an injury that normally keeps players out for 4-6 weeks heal in 15 days.
- They overcome an 8 1/2 game deficit in a month.
Why can’t the Brewers be the team that gets that favor? Why does the greatest season that we will probably see in our lifetimes have to end like this? This season is always going to be marred by the fact that the rival team will always be better than the Brewers. That alone makes me want to cry…

Exactly, series are short.
It takes 162 games to find the best 8 teams. 5 to find the best 4, and 7 more to find the best 2.
E: George 4 (5, throw, throw, throw, throw).
In a perverse way
I have come to admire TLR. He is a pure take-no-prisoners Machiavelian. With him, the ends always justify the means, and there is no substitute for victory. He rarely forgives and never forgets, and when he has an opponent on the ropes, he carefully knots it around their neck.
Unfortunately, TLR got in RRR head during that series in Milwaukee, and he never left.

I thought so too
While he has indeed been a well-liked player, I think deep down, Brewer fans realize that this is NOT a case where a team simply cannot afford a player. This is not a case where he would have to accept a woeful contract to stay.
They offered him $100 million and it wasn’t close. In a blue collar state like Wisconsin, that speaks volumes.
For that, he is never going to have the full sympathy of many Brewer fans. As is his right, he is going to cash out to the highest bidder. However, don’t expect all Brewer fans to worship him as a beloved figure as a result.
He was a great player…but a great player that really had no desire to value the team and its fans over the almighty dollar (and for the record, few athletes are).

Maybe in 2012, I'll view it that way.
I doubt it will happen before New Year’s Day. The sting of losing to the Cardinals will be too painful until then. If the Cardinals win the World Series, it may not happen until Spring Training. They put it well on the broadcast right now, despite how good this season was, we’re still “behind the Cardinals”.
Had they lost to the Phillies, I probably would have gotten over it in a few weeks. It will take much longer with the Cardinals.

Narveson is a starting pitcher forced to warm up like a reliever.
That he failed to have success in that role is not indicative of what would have happened had he been given the start.

Um, he's had success in the bullpen all series.
You really think on a night they gave up 12 runs that if Narveson had started that he wouldn’t have given up any runs?

Even had he given up the 5
You can subtract out the 4 from Marcum’s start.
No one said anything about no runs.
