Viva Cerveceros

The story of the denizens of Miller Parkland; the life of brats, beer, women, wine, cervezas and chorizo; basking in the sun and curveball hanging, barrel rolling and Cubs killing.

“Milwaukee is a baseball town, by far the best in the major leagues. Baseball there is part of the civic personality, just as theaters are in New York, and motion pictures are in Los Angeles and culture used to be in Boston. It’s as personal a part of the town as beer. Under it and over it and beyond it is the impressive fact that everywhere you go people talk baseball. Baseball, like the weather, is part of the atmosphere. It serves to make going to a baseball game a real pleasure.” Sports Illustrated article about baseball in Milwaukee, 1955.

Milwaukee Brewers: Just a baseball rant

stepharoo22:

Maybe this is new to me since my Brewers have never been this good in my lifetime. But why is everyone hating on them, or more specifically, why does everyone hate that they’re having a good time? I was a little upset watching Baseball Tonight because they asked “Are the Brewers…

Yes, it does have something to do with the Brewers not being good until the current core (Fielder, Braun, Weeks, Yo, Hart) came of age. Do you remember the 2008 Brewers going 15-5 on the year against St. Louis, and the Cardinals bitching about the Crew untucking their shirts after the last out in a win (a tribute to veteran CF Mike Cameron’s dad who would untuck his shirt after a long day’s work well done)? Three seasons later, this is even more Prince Fielder’s team. He loves to compete, and he loves to have fun. Which is why I sympathized with our rival Reds’ Brandon Phillps during the home stretch last year: “I hate the Cardinals. All they do is bitch and moan about everything, all of them, they’re little bitches, all of ‘em. I really hate the Cardinals. Compared to the Cardinals, I love the Chicago Cubs. Let me make this clear - I hate the Cardinals.” Real True Blue Brew Crew fans are starting to see something special coming together. People hated on Aaron Rodgers championship belt celebration. But then he won the championship.
