Everyone sit down, it's only the Brewers that I speak of. Then again, stand up; YANKEES! Sit back down, BREWERS. Which one were you more apt to support? For me it would be neither because I am in love with the Rockies (until they fall into the hands of the Dodgers and Giants for the next week).
The loyal Wisconsinites know that something horrible has happened in Miller town. Last season, the Brewers relieved C.C. Sabathia of the horrible Cleveland Indians. Sabathia performed well in guiding the crew to a post season berth. Firth time since '84, while in the process almost throwing a no hitter (that was controversial because it should have been an error, not a man on base). But, whatever; the people who are good will shine. Unlike Milwaukee, who led their division two and a half months ago, there will be no after thought on how well the Brewers did this season. The attention will focus on the Packers and Miller Park will close down in the same fashion that it always has 24 of the last 25 years (county stadium in that count as well). The custodians will sweep the hall one more time, while the vendors will lock up their stores for a six month layoff. Then the players will leave and head to wherever they came from. Pheonix, Denver, Seattle, you name it they will be gone.
While all this is happening, Miller Park will receive a nice coat of snow to cover up the horrible season that preceded the closing. Fans will turn their televisions to Basketball and Football with some navigating to Minneapolis or Chicago for some hockey. No one will think anything while passing the large stadium which holds the keys to Milwaukee's freedom from a curse that really was never caused by anything. Chicago has the fact that they suck curse, Boston had the great bambino curse, and on the reverse side; New York has the so much money that we cannot produce curse (usually lasts about seven years and then they inject a needle in a few players and buy the world series). In the end though, you can count on Milwaukee doing nothing again next year, or the year after that. Ryan Braun and Prince field are two good players that could be traded for some decent pitching. Management says otherwise, and your ticket prices will fall. At least this time you can see a professional sporting event all while being considered a cheap date.
