are you really done with the season?

[bjkrautk]

I've watched meaningless games in September, just because it's a long way to next April.

 

Why would I stop watching while the games mean something?

(Heck, the Brewers showed more fight in this series than they did the whole rest of the month.)

 

Please wait until the bandwagon comes to a complete stop before jumping off.

[davego]

Like FTJ, I'm in for the long haul too, but man...no one said the haul would be this long...

[brwrsfan]

I'm doing my best to stay with them, but it's just so tough. It was almost better when we lost 100 games a year...I certainly never felt like I did yesterday afternoon.

 

It would make it that much sweeter if we made it, but that's just looking more and more like a pipedream.

[chuckiehacks]

I've waited this long, what's another 10 days? This team has beaten me up, exhausted me and I really don't know what I have left to give. I just keep telling myself that its still possible, that I might just see playoff baseball at Miller Park.

 

Last year, I passed up playoff tickets in Denver, saying I wasn't going to the playoff until I could see my own team. I'm not going back on that now.

 

I thought about digging up the Brokeback Mountain "I wish I knew how to quit you" picture, but frankly I'm just too tired.

[lukevan]

Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'm still on the wagon. Yesterday hurt real bad but it gains an almost comical aspect for its predictability. Just like a ballplayer, you have to be able to shake off bad losses.

[jeffy]

It would make it that much sweeter if we made it, but that's just looking more and more like a pipedream.

 

Yes, but those of us who stick with it will recieve this reward should the unexpected happen. At this point it is a "no-lose" proposition as we are not expecting anything but failure to make the playoffs, so there will be no additional disappointment if they do not.

[wisconsinfan47]

I guess I'll continue to play along with this episode of Punk'd, sure.

[2008 world champs]

I'm in it. Before the series finale against the Cubs I figured it wasn't a must win ball game. 5/6 or even 4/6 heading into the last series against the Central champion Cubs (resting), will put the team in excellent shape. The cubs have to help us against new york however or this thing could get ugly.

[billyjohnston77]

GO PACKERS and BADGERS!!!!!!!!!!!

[number59]

No doubt this is painful to watch, but don't tell me you won't be checking in on the games this weekend. If you logged on to this board, you're too into it to give up now. I'm staying with the ship. It is my duty. Full speed ahead!!!!

If I want season tickets to see a team who doesn't care, I'll go see the Bucks - they are much cheaper.

Yes, that's right, the Brewers coaches, players, and executives don't care.

My name is Jimbo, and I'm here to say that I will support the Brewers until the final game of the season.

[kiwi brewer]

i'm with you Jimbo. i, kiwibrewer, will be supporting the Crew until the final day. or if they are eliminated, that day.

 

the schedule looks favorable, if the cubs play their scrubs during the final three.

 

unite. or untie. one or the other.

[brewmann04]

If we can gain a game on the mets over the weekend i feel a little better ,but if we lose any ground it will be over.

I hoping the Cubs at least spilt w/the mets and somehow we can sweep the Pirates.

But i very very pesstimic about this happening.

[logan82]

I have had relationships like this before. I am unhappy with how things are going, but I know I will be kicking myself in a month if I break it off now so I just wait until they break it off first.

[bucks2281]

A day removed from yesterday's debacle, this loss is STILL eating at my core. I can't get over it; I think it may have been the hardest day I've had to endure as a sports fan. One of these years, I feel like I should be rewarded for my patience and suffering.

 

That said, there's no giving up in me. If I tried to stop watching, it wouldn't work. I'll be glued to the TV for the next week. I love this sport, this team, and this city. This experience is making me stronger -- I'll just appreciate it more when we finally reach the promised land, whether that be a week or 10 years.

This video came to mind when thinking of the Brewers. Weird AL: One More Minute

[Pudster13]

I literally had nightmares last night about Thursday afternoon's game.

I'm afraid this is the type of game that will haunt the Brewers forever.

So, in a word, yes.

[MaxJ72]

I will probably watch some games. Mostly because my wife makes me watch. That 4 game sweep by Philly broke my back. Watching the Brewers righy now is painful. Watching the Brewers now is kind of like that scene in Animal House where people are joining the evil frat house, sorry kind think of the name, and after they get hit with the paddle they say, "Thank You Sir, May I have another".

 

So will I watch yes, a little. Will I enjoy it? All I can say is "Thank You Sir, Can I Have Another"

[Ranier]

I was in it until today....even with yesterday's collapse I still had some deep down hope. I'm done...go Badgers and Packers!

[southpaw121505]

My name is Jimbo, and tonight was the final straw. I'm a very optimistic dude, but with the mets stalling and giving us a chance while we get embarassed by the....reds??!?!?! im done

[brewmann04]

gentlemen tonight game wa the end for me,Tonight performance was un real and horrible.

i will look foward to the offseason to see what in store for the 2009 brewers.

Everyone here deserves a well done and appreciate all the work everyone put in this season.

[sbrylski]

I'm still here, aren't I?

 

7 is still a relatively large elimination number.

[burniebrewer]

I've never been "that guy", but tonight it ended for me. I loyally listened in for the 1st inning and got kicked in the ____. I turned it off and will not look back...call me what you want, but I've been loyal forever. I've never quit, until tonight. This goes beyond loyalty, it just hurts more than it ever has and I need to take some deep breaths and get away. I've had enough. I can't take the abuse anymore. I love the Brewers, but enough is enough, you know?

 

Edit-And now, I see I've dropped some 4000 posts. All this time and now the board drops me as well!

[thablingster]

Despite the fact I was overcome with anger at the outcome of the game yesterday, while today's game drove me to depths of disappointment rarely seen, I am still hanging in there. I suppose the day this team actually makes the playoffs, suffering through years like last year and this September to date will be worth it, right?
