Milwaukee Bound!


The White Sox and Twins might not know if they are going to the playoffs but I know I'll be making my debut! Shira and I are hopeful we can land tickets for Game one Brewers-Phils on Wednesday, but at the very least I'll be at game three! Shira gave me her blessings saying, "You might not get this chance again." I've had this grin the last 24 plus hours. Shira added she won't have to trek out to Milwaukee now. I owe many thanks to my friend Dave for making this happen. We've been buds at the wood for years and he's always been more than generous in hooking me up with Brew Crew gear. This whole scenario has been worth the wait and the true fun hasn't even begun!

Brewers return me to 1982


Last week I spoke to my friend Dave and we were both dejected about the Brewers squandering their playoff chances. Now we are both in an ecstatic state and making playoff plans after our beloved Brew Crew landed a playoff spot. Years ago I remember listening on my walkman at the WP Bowl as the Brewers came back from two down to beat the Angels and get to the World Series. That was one of the first things to enter my mind as victory seemed real today. I have waited since 1982 and never thought the day would arrive when we made it. Ironically neither New York team got in! C.C. threw a gem and made a memorable one-handed snag. Then Braun launched a homer that will send him into Brewers immortality. Loyalty sure pays off I knew this one playoff opportunity would be worth the wait. Strangely the Brewers will face Shira's Phillies. It'll be more exciting days ahead!
