AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
No complaints about the ride so far. A few things stand out as a fan of Milwaukee's only recently-successful sports team:
1. The amount of Brewers gear and fan accessories visible in Milwaukee suddenly matches that for the Packers, who truly belong to Green Bay.
2. Very strange to see arial shots of the city on television.
3. No resistance whatsoever to the narrative, the feeling that the team is "making history" or trying to separate itself from the 1982 squad, though this is baseball and you can be forgotten in a week, as a matter of luck or your own shortcomings. I guess that's what happens when you've had as little success in your history as the Brew Crew--you think you have a team of "destiny" simply because you never go to the playoffs. But hell, it's fun.
Now, at the risk of sounding "classy," or a good sport, which I am not at all, I must say the Diamondbacks look to run the NL West for the foreseeable future. Kennedy, Hudson, and Parker are among the best 1-3 starters in the NL. With Stephen Drew back next year, that offense is scary.
Again, I should be clear that had the Brewers lost I would be talking some serious **** about the D-Backs and that they were lucky. But that would just be my typical way of complimenting opponents.
