Brewers

There are two teams playing in the World Series right now that have never won the World Series in their history. The Milwaukee Brewers and the Tampa Bay Rays.

I am not really a fan of the Brewers, but the Rays are in the same division as my Boston Red Sox and there is no way in hell I’m rooting for another team from our division. I’m fully on board for the Brewers. Which is nice as they are up three games to none. In the early going of game four the score is tied at one. Here’s hoping Milwaukee wraps it all up tonight.

I said I am not really a Brewers fan, but they are important to me in that Miller Park is one of only four Major League stadiums I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to more games at Fenway Park in Boston than I could ever remember, dating all the way back to 1979. On our honeymoon in 2009 we saw games in two stadiums, Petco Park in San Diego and Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles. We also stood outside of Camden Yards in Baltimore on our honeymoon but there was no game that day and we didn’t get to go inside.

In 2007 Jen and I had only been dating for a few months but we traveled to Wisconsin to visit Mike and Tammy and their new baby. While we were there we went to Milwaukee for a Rush show and a Brewers game. The game was on September 5th. That was my first non-Fenway MLB game. The Brewers played the Houston Astros but I’m not sure who won. I think it was the Brewers but that might just be wishful thinking.

Anyway, go Brewers.

I Want the Mets to Lose

I am from Boston. All New York sports teams are offensive to me. They burn my soul.

Yesterday I wrote a post listing off which teams I hate the most in each Wild Card round match up. Amazingly, the team in each series that I hate the most has lost in three of the four series. The only one left is the only series that didn’t end in a sweep. The Brewers and the Mets are playing game three right now. It’s scoreless in the third.

I hate the Mets. I probably don’t hate them as much as I hate the Yankees but I don’t hate anyone or anything in the universe as much as I hate the Yankees. The Montreal Canadians are close, but the Yankees are the root of all evil.

What was I talking about? Oh yeah, the Brewers and the Mets. I hate the Mets. I don’t hate the Brewers. In fact, I have been to a Brewers home game. It was September 5, 2007. Jen and I had been dating for a few months and we were out in Wisconsin visiting Mike and Tammy and their baby daughter who is now a high school senior.

All the more reason to root against the friggin’ Mets.

Oh yeah, did I mention the Padres won their series yesterday? Bring on the Dodgers and the inevitable slaughter.
