Yellich is to the Brewers like Pujols WAS to the Cardinals.  No need to get nasty .. Vikings?  Really ... you wish you had Bernie Brewer!!  Just saying it's nice to see a young MVP staying in a small market team not taking the highest dollars.  Nothing more ... relax. 

 

Just rival talk.  Nobodies BP is up, :D 

I'll see the Crew at least one time this season, in August.  I usually get to about 10-20 Cards games, I live less than a block away from their stadium.  My dad really likes the bobble-head dolls (and is a Cardinals fanatic), so we get a 5 pack of tickets to get those giveaways and there is a special Tuesday night set of games that he also gets.  I see the Brewers, Reds, and Marlins at least once a season.  I haven't been to every stadium, but I have seen almost every team.  Just missing the: Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles, Blue Jays, Rangers, and Mariners.  I will see the Orioles this season, I already have the tickets.  A couple of years ago my dad also gave me the program he saved from my first baseball game ever:  Brewers at Twins, in the Metrodome, 1988.  It has Frank Viola on the cover and the tickets look like something you would buy at the box office for a local concert venue :D.    When I lived in Wisconsin, we would get to Milwaukee about once a season for a game.  We would also get down to St Louis for a game or two every summer.  

Also, for the record, I hate mascots.  And I think the Cardinals Fred Bird is my least favorite of them all.

Like the 10 years we had Albert Pujols? And the championships we won during that time?

 

The Brewers' trophy case looks exactly like the Vikings.  But you do have Bernie Brewer, and his slide.  That rules!

I don't take offense, but let's be real. Baseball is not a sport. The playing field isn't level. The Brewers ever making it to the post season is a huge win in itself. Even if they are perfect in all their moves and farm system, you can't compete with those that can throw $$$ around at will.

Which is why I am not too upset about the Astros cheating.  They screwed over the Yankees and Dodgers? Cry me a river.

Time to open up the world series to include the world.. And just have a few different cup tournaments for the league based on $ allotment or something. Baseball sucks. Or the US should dump baseball and pick up Soccer, which is a much better game anyways.

It would just be all the Caribbean nations playing for the championship every year 😂

James Lofton a as Packer doesn't belong on that list over Sharpe, Matthews, Collins, or Woodson IMO. Woodson is clearly a top 10 of all-time. We're talking a DPOY guy here.
