2nd half optimism!!

[brewmann04]

HOW could it possible be but the Bullpen is to blame for the Crew not bein in post season play.

Well it good to know what needs to be worked on in the off season.

IT really poethic Justice that the Bullpen is the cause for the loss and most likely missing the wildcard. Doug lets get working.

3-3 against the top two teams in the NL is not that bad

 

3-4 (2-2 vs. Wash, 1-2 vs. Cinn)

 

 

The Brewers still need to win their remaining games. We just need a break and the Cards lose both series......

 

It Can Be Done!!!!

At this point all the optimism reminds me of Homer Simpson following the flying pig.

It's still possible! It's still possible!

 

I've genuinely appreciated the optimism in this thread and I do not mean to crap on it. I just really like that Simpsons episode.

Whenever the season ends, the Brewers have made the latter months of the 2012 season more interesting than just about any of us had reason to expect.

 

Now, if you have tickets for Saturday and are ready to tear them up in frustration, don't do that. Transfer them to me so we have a better chance of winning a fabulous prize. Every year the SO says it's his year to be a winner!

Yeah I have been trying not to poop on everybody's parade so I have avoided this thread as much as possible.

[hawing]

I'm pretty much always happy on days when I'm scheduled to go to Miller Park. I'll still stand and cheer for the home team tonight.

[brewmann04]

No reason the Crew can't go underfeated and that the Reds and nats cant take 2-3 too bad Stl is at home.

BUT

 

HOPE and WIN

[Outlander]

Well I wasn't planning on going anymore after yesterday but I got two tickets for my son and I for $2 so I'm optimistic that they will still have a chance Sunday.

[PrinceEatMeat]

The Cardinals are facing Jackson, Zimmerman, Detwiler, Arroyo, Latos, and Bailey. That's a pretty tall order. We definitely still have a chance. Gotta go 6-0 though still in my opinion. But never know.

[Polish Falcons]

How about this scenario:

 

Brewers 6-0

Dodgers 5-1

Cards 2-4

 

Three way tie for the 2nd Wild Card spot. What happens then? You have to have a play in to the play in game, to get to the wild card play in game. However the MLB schedule only provides one off day between the end of the regular season and the wild card game. I guess they'd have to change that. This may seem like a bazaar scenario but in the American League there is only a two game difference between Baltimore, Tampa, and Aneheim. Throw in the Yankees and it's only a 3 game difference between the four teams. This is something that will happen sometime if not this year.

Torts, thanks for the optomism. Nice that it lasted this long.

 

I'm optimistic we'll have a winning record, but that's the best I can muster.

 

How about starting a 2013 optimism thread.

[brewmann04]

Lets be looking forward to the Possible brewers Indiviuals these last 3 games.

[DHonks]

it was nice to hear positive thoughts instead of the negativity that common in July. Let's finish over .500 and keep this going for next year.

[Funketown]

Well we had interesting baseball through late September.

 

This team deserves a big ovation at the end of the season.

[brewmann04]

I think with some moves we should be in the running for 2013.

[brewmann04]

Braun should be MVP

[pogokat]

BRAUN FOR MVP

[PrinceEatMeat]

RAMIREZ FOR GOLD GLOVE

 

AOKI FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

[torts]

I BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN WIN 82 GAMES!!!! WINNING SEASON, HERE WE COME!! WHOO! WHOO! WHOO WHOO!!!

I have a real hard time giving Japanese players with at least 6 years professional experience "rookie of the year" honors when they get their first shot at MLB. Generally they are players already in their prime or on the downside of their prime. While they essentially played AA-AAA all those years from a quality standpoint the atmosphere was pretty intense and much different from our upper minor leagues.

 

For example Yu Darvish already had 6.5 years of experience in Japan and he's only 25, Aoki had 7+ and is 30 years old.

 

While Japanese players do have a relatively high flame out rate, off the top of my head it's about the same as the top prospect flame out rates in general.

 

I don't know maybe it's just the age thing, but I'm firmly against Japanese players being eligible for the ROY honor.
