Red Sox and Brewers are pretty similar. Not getting much length from the starters, bullpen getting big outs, shaky closer.
I have a couple of Wisconsin buddies who reminded me of that today. I wished them a Boston Sunday on their cheesehead Monday.I just realized that tonight is the Wisconsin-area's version of Boston's Sunday night. Big playoff game as well as a feature NFL game for their football team. Cheeseheads forever!
And lo, they pull out the football end of the double-header with an epic drive led by their all-time great QB ending in chip-shot FG at the buzzer to win a crazy back-and-forth shootout.I have a couple of Wisconsin buddies who reminded me of that today.

This may be one of the best sports weeks of the year. Baseball playoffs, NFL in full swing and some other sports starting up too.And lo, they pull out the football end of the double-header with a chip-shot FG at the buzzer to end a crazy back-and-forth shootout.
Starting Wednesday, they also have a young, green-clad NBA team showing all sorts of promise going into the season.
Hyperbole and sarcasm are fun. Christ.Just saying, I hate calling a guy a "corpse."
I know it's just hyperbole, but it bugs me.
And if you had been watching their games, both of those players have had very good years. But who expected them to get past the super-hyped Cubs? No one. Which makes it delicious.
Woodruff was up in the pen. Pitched 3 scoreless as the Opener in Game 1 of the NLDS and 2 scoreless in Game 1 of the NLCS.Who did MIL have left if Jeffress gave up a few more hits? I thought Counsell totally overmanaged those last two innings but I don't follow MIL closely enough to really know.
Missed the Miley and Chacin starts, did you?Brewers really trying to bullpen all the way to the WS
Roberts and Counsell are really trying to out manager each other in this series it seemsMaeda is their setup guy, right? only 3 pitches in the 7th from him?
Smoltz isn't horrible but he says some terribly stupid things sometimes. So, in other words, he is the same as me or your average SoSH poster. Or simply a human beingSmoltz: "I know what the numbers say about bunting, but I would do it."
Well, okay.
No infield fly with just a man on first. Was a good idea.what is Smoltz talking about? infield fly forbids just replacing runners?
Only somebody like AROD thinks to do thatIf Yelich tries to sell fan interference he might have gotten it.
Are you saying interference? Because he looks to have beat it at first base.Should be a double play.
I just hate LA.Are you saying interference? Because he looks to have beat it at first base.
Yeah. Probably right.Only somebody like AROD thinks to do that
Off of Hader. Impressive.Bellinger with the backhand winner.
Hell of a play. And Smoltz is right - Muncy made it harder than it had to be with no Pearce...er, I mean stretch there.Wow, didn't think there was any way Jansen was getting to that in time.
