Brewers Nation is still on cloud nine after yesterday, so let's see what people are saying about the Milwaukee Brewers making the PLAYOFFS! "I'm going to be a cheerleader for awhile. I ain't got no choice. It
doesn't look good (to pitch again this year) but you never know. I
won't stop trying."
"You become a fan of an organization when you're in it for eight
years. People who don't think you do are bogus. In the end, good times.
It's a lot better than celebrating 106-loss seasons." -- Ben Sheets - "I've been here six years. I'm just happy for everybody that's been
here. It's been an emotional roller coaster for anybody who has been
part of this." -- Doug Melvin
- "It's unbelievable. I came back here two years ago because I thought
this was a bunch of guys who could get this done. To validate that
decision and make it come true for the people of Milwaukee, it's
special. I'm so happy we could do it for everybody in this city." -- Craig Counsell
- "I sent Ned an e-mail. He
went through 93% of the season. I backed Ned and supported him." -- Doug Melvin
- "Ned did an unbelievable job for six years, got this organization back
on track. It's unfortunate what happened, that ownership felt whatever
it felt. Ned Yost deserves a lot of this credit. He'll always be a dear
friend." -- Dale Sveum
- "A total of 3,068,458 fans came through Miller Park this season, for
an average of 37,882 fans per game. That's 89.3% of capacity at Miller
Park and testimony to strong fan support.
What is notable is the fact that the Brewers passed the Boston Red
Sox in attendance this year. The Red Sox drew a total of 3,048,250 fans
this season, good for 10th place in attendance in Major League
Baseball. The Brewers were ninth in the league in attendance." -- Don Walker (Milwaukee JS) - "With the effort, Sabathia completed one of the best National League
pitching performances in the live-ball era. Now, it's on to the
playoffs. Sabathia's postseason history is shaky, as his performance
against the Red Sox in last year's ALCS was not impressive. In his
career, Sabathia is 1-2 with a 7.17 ERA in four postseason starts." -- ESPN.com's Baseball Tonight
- "Might Yovani Gallardo get the start for the Brewers in game one, or will it go to Manny Parra?" -- Baseball Musings
"When Ryan Church flied out to end the Mets’
season, I was moved to tears. It might just be the Wild Card and, yes,
this feat only marks the beginning of a quest for something much
greater. But I wasn’t alive in 1982, and I grew up cheering for a
losing team. To many of us these sensations and the concept of baseball
in October are foreign.
Remember today as the first time in 26 years when
the last day of the season marked the eve of another season’s
beginning. Savor this moment and hold it tightly, wrap yourself in it –
don’t blink. I’ve never seen champagne showers in Brew City, and it may
be a long time before it happens again… but I’m not thinking about that
right now, I’m not thinking about the Philadelphia Phillies or Ben
Sheets likely having thrown his last pitch in a Brewers uniform." -- Right Field Bleachers - "I was at the game yesterday and I can’t even begin to recount how
incredible it was. I’ll certainly try, but I’m not sure I have the
words to describe the instantaneous release of 26 years of frustration." -- Right Field Bleachers
- "So if you're scoring at home, in 2008 the Brewers were 67-41 after Brad
says they were "done" (version 1.0 and 2.0). But when he's publicly
back on board with the club for 22 days, they play .350 ball." -- Chuckie Hacks
- "BREWERS DO IT -- NL WILD CARD CHAMPIONS!!!" -- Brewers Bar
