Sorry guys, but I have to share some baseball with my Bobcat football fans

Posted: 9/23/2011 11:31:19 PM

My Milwaukee Brewers just won their first divisional championship in 30 years. Water street is going crazy! Only wish the crew from Green Bay could have been here to celebrate with us. At Ryan Braun's resturant this evening and celebrating with the Brewers fans. Have tickets for tomorrow nights game (yeah, bad timing). Hope this is how the Bobcats can celebrate in December. This is what it's all about to be a fan.

Go Bobcats!

Just joking......being a die hard Reds fan, about the only thing that I can agree on with a Brewer fan is at least neither one of us like the Cardinals!!!!!!!

This Cub fan is rooting hard for the Crew in October. The Brewers used to be my AL team until they moved to the NL.

So are Cub fans, Doc, but we haven't had much to cheer about to quite a spell.

I have become a big Brewers fan the past two years. I was fortunate enough to coach the starting catcher Jon Lucroy for 3 years during his high school career and coach his junior league all star team. Needless to say the best player that i have coached so far.

While I do have to recognize that the Cardinals just seem to find anyway they can to win late in the year, and while they always find themselves right in middle of some kind of post season race (a sure sign of a great team and great franchise)......

Here's to hoping that dem birds fall tonight!!!

Ha.....you've made more positive comments about the Redbirds in one sentence than I read in an entire day on one of the Card's forums (not the one I frequent).....so far today I've read..."Let's lose tonight so Tony LaRussa gets fired"....."I'm not watchin the game tonight since we'll never beat the Phils"....and the best one...."I hate Pujols so I hope WE lose.".....and we thought we had negativity on this board.

Gotta say, I too am pulling for your crew, despite being a fan of a divisional rival. Being 23 years old and a life-long pirate fan is not that easy. But one day, I will go to PNC Park to see a Pirate Playoff game. A guy can dream right?

And Papelbon blows it in Baltimore. Absolutely unbelievable night of baseball. Just awesome. I ain't going to bed until this craziness is wrapped up, which may not be until the sun rises at this pace!

Tonight has been absolutely crazy. If someone wrote these scripts, they would've been labeled a complete hack (or have their screenplays bought by the glurgy Hallmark Channel)...

Wow. 2 of the most epic September collpases in baseball history culminate with 2 epic collapses by those 2 teams in the last game of the year. It's just unbelievable. Insanely unbelievable.

And one of those who collapsed helped my Redbirds get it.

Actually I think it was the karma from all those Reds hatin on us that got us in....haha.....and they cheered when Wainwright was out for the year.....sorry Brandon Phillips....not your year.

Sorry doc...But the Cardinals of recent years are the whiniest and most annoying team around...There's a reason every team in the NL Central hates them, and it's not just because they always find ways to overachieve. I'm not a Brandon Phillips fan, but his famous description of the Cardinals last year is spot on.

But their comeback, the Braves collapse, the Rays comebeack, and of course the Sox collapse...All in the same month, all culminating on the same night...Truly one of the most amazing baseball stories of all time.

Yeah....Carpenter's the biggest whiner....but he came thru last night.....I'm more of a Bob Gibson-Kenny Boyer-Stan Musial guy.

Philips actually earned some points with Redbird fans last year.....Jonny Gomes however forever enters the Hall of Shame for cheering when he heard Wainwright was gone for the year.

But would other teams hate them if they were losers?

Of course not.

I'm a Cub fan . . . please don't use the words "epic September collapse" in my presence. I'm still in mourning over 1969. A radio I dropped kicked over the cliff in my parents' backyard was never the same. Then there's 1984. There's a house on Morris Avenue in Athens that still has loose hinges on a door that I slammed so hard it shook the whole house after the Cubs blew a 2-0 lead in the best of five series with the Padres. And, I won't even get into the heartache of '03. I see someone has now written a book entitled Miracle Collapse: The 1969 Chicago Cubs. Such is the life of a Cub fan, we have to memorialize our worst failures. Oh yes, I still hate anything and everything about the New York "Metropolitans."

Last night is a prime example of why baseball is the greatest and most compelling sport in the world. It takes a team and an organization to even compete for a title but it still comes down to one guy (OK, two) in the pitcher batter showdown.

Best of all, the clock never runs out. There's no stalling, no running out the clock.. You have to play 'til it's over, just like Yogi is supposed to have said.

Magnificent. If the playoffs are half as compelling, we're in for a treat.

Good comments Bob, I totally agree. I actually wrote out 100 reasons why baseball is better than football that I should post here sometime. I am a big football fan, so it is more of a tribute to baseball than a damning of football. Needless to say, no clock is 1 of the 100 reasons.

OCF - I'm a Cubs fan too...my 1st born's middle name is Ryne...I can only empathize with you on 2003 though. But even the 69 collapse doesn't stack up to these ones. The Sox 9 game lead and Braves 8.5 game lead I believe are the 2 biggest game leads in September that didn't stand at season's end. I could be wrong on that, but I don't think I am.
