Yes, I'm Still Excited
>> Monday
A few quick points about yesterday's game: 1. A special thanks to Gavin for oversleeping (due to drunkenness) so that Poethig could go to the game. He and I have both suffered through some awful Brewers baseball for basically our entire lives. He was, to say the least, excited to be there.
2. Speaking of Poethig - when Braun homered in the 8th, he and I embraced in a manner not seen since this special moment from Rocky 3:
(I was totally Apollo Creed)3. As I may have told you already, I saw my old man (also known as "the toughest son of a bitch alive" or, "what would happen if John Wayne and Lou Brown from Major League had a kid) tear up when the Brewers won. I was flabbergasted. Poethig's response was, "Man, he's grizzled."
4. To the girl sitting in front of us at the game: Hey...what's up? How you doin'?
5. Having to watch the conclusion of the Mets/Marlins game on the jumbotron after the Brewers game ended was somewhat anti-climactic, but it was all worth it after Matt Lindstrom closed the deal and showered Miller Park in confetti, giving everyone one big face full of celebration.
6. I woke up this morning hung over, and not from drinking. Just from...joy, maybe?
7. It must really suck to be Ned Yost today.
8. Videos and links of the good stuff:
9. Nobody, and I mean nobody cared that the Packers lost. Anyone who lives (or has lived) in Wisconsin will appreciate how weird that is.
10. I'll say this again: I don't care if the Brewers get swept in the first round. At all. We're in, baby. And I love it.
P.S. Please, let Bob Uecker break out that tuxedo he wore in Major League for the playoffs.

I think the big thing is that it took 90 wins to get the Wild Card. Thats ridiculously impressive
I actually had some classmates stop by my house to pick up my roommate for a baby shower during the game. One of my classmates actually had the audacity to tell me to turn on the Packers' game instead. I was like, "Are you kidding? This is the biggest moment in Wisconsin sports in the past few years, and you want me to put on a lousy Week 4 NFL game?"
Were you pimping our blog to some girl in front of you at the game? And if so, does this mean we have a female reader? I'd better stop peeing in the drinking fountain. Aw, who am I kidding--I'll continue peeing in the drinking fountain and generally exposing myself whenever possible.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but should the Sox win this one-game playoff, then every staff member* on this blog will have a rooting interest in the NLDS or ALDS.
God help us all.
* I mean, I assume Danny is rooting for the Cubs, Sox, or Brewers. He's got a tendency to do that when teams get good.
Good call Mike, this has to be a first. Lets see how long this goodwill lasts before each of us start telling each other to go fuck off after our team is eliminated
Yeah, this is an epic level of forces coming together at YCS, especially as the Brewers and Sox both tried their best to blow things in September.
