I actually bet against the Bucks a few time...just figured, if the Bucks lost, I'd have an extra 100 bucks to go out and drink away my sorrows! I've never been happier as a sports fan, but I thought if the Bucks were gonna win one, it'd be after they stole one of the first two at home. Just the high of them being in the ECF's vs a team they should clearly beat(not disrespect to the Hawks, they're just too young IMO) and even a team in the West they could beat...and then Giannis bends his leg like a flamingo and it feels like it's all gone...and then he comes back. No WAY that dude is human! Right after it happened you had all the Doctors on Twitter saying there's almost no way he didn't tear at least the ACL, it hyperextended past 30 degrees, all that...I tweeted "if anyone could bend like that and be alright, it's Giannis." I didn't actually believe it then and I'm still in disbelief now!

Yeah...like always, it's a crapshoot. But they've got the best record in Sept for the last 3-4 years. In 2018 they came from 5 back by winning 11 in a row including beating the Cubs in two series, then won a tie-breaker to win their 96th game to get into the playoffs. Then lost in 7 games to the Dodgers... The next year they lost Yellich for the season and they STILL went on a huge run to come back and make the playoffs. And this year they're 7 games up in the division and have been one of the best teams in baseball. And they've been the best team in baseball when they've had a lead after 7 innings the last 4 years. There's nothing to see when it comes to how smart they are and how well run they are. Just...if things fall their way in the playoffs this year or not. And like I said, probably not because...the odds are literally against every team. But I'll take their chances. They're as good this year as they've been since '82. This has been the best 5 year stretch in Brewers history.

Dude...you a Brewers fan? There literally hasn't been a team over the last 5 years that's exceeded their projected wins than the Brewers...no matter what analytical site you wanna use. Cots or Fangraphs or whatever. The BUCKS before this year had found new innovative ways to lose games. The BREWERS are one of the smartest teams in Baseball and have arguably the best manager. I doubt they win it this year also just because...it's always a long shot, but they're built for the playoffs as well as anyone, and they just added a middle-of-the-order bat who plays SS.

Dude...this is probably as good as they've been since 1982. They lost in 7 to the Dodgers a few years ago(when they were stealing signs also, but everyone acts like they were the Victims because the Astros were even more blatant about it). But they've got THREE starters who are legit aces, that Willy Adames trade....dude's crushing it, and Yelich is back and healthy. I mean...with Bauer potentially out, they've got a shot. I think only 5 teams have better odds right now than the Brewers anyway. Probably won't happen, but at least I know if the Brewers lose...it won't be because the Manager screws it up for them...

This sucks, but it's also SUUUUUCH a huge relief. I deal with this like 3 years ago...I spent about 2-3 MONTHS where I could connect for like a day or two and then I couldn't. It was something with the Time Warner IP addresses and the Play Station Network, Time Warner was using old IP addresses that PSN wouldn't recognize. It took me literally 50-100 hours on the phone until I got a tech who gave me a dedicated IP address for my Play Station... I was really worried that was what was going on again... I mean, it sucks it's down, but if I had to do that again, I'd just quit playing video games. It was SUCH a huge pain in the ass.

No problem! Hope you win some raffles...or something with them!

Eh, I'll take his word for it and give him the runner-up award...that I just made up because...fuck it, I'm happy!

You got it! I don't remember how much I said in my initial rambling post...but I'll figure it out! I didn't actually say...I just said a few or a couple, so make it 5?

Once in a lifetime! And I got to spend the time with my old man. Wouldn't trade it for anything!

It was beautiful. He was like a kid. The whole place...you could just see how tight all the players were...which is why there is SUCH a huge statistical advantage to having players who've been to and won an NBA final. You could see it. Everyone was pulling the string on their shots...and then Giannis just....went....the...fu#$ OFF!!! I have NEVER seen a crowd like that in my life. It was just amazing. Packers crowds can be kinda older and lame. Brewers get pretty wild when they're good, but that's not constant like this. In this game there were so many times they'd just play for an extra 5 seconds or two people would and then you'd realize they'd blown the whistle, but nobody could hear it. Just...awesome. Really wish I had the money right now, but since I didn't have to pay for them...and I got to take the old man, I'm happy and very hungover, so again, see y'all in about 12 hours!
