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.

4. To the girl sitting in front of us at the game: Hey...what's up? How you doin'?

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.
