2011 NLDS with the Milwaukee Brewers hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks

As a Brewer fan, I approve this message.

As a Dbacks fan, I disapprove of your approval :)

As an Astros fan, I'm going to just stfu for the next 2-3 decades.

[–]Vague_Intentions 7 points8 points ago

Goddammit. I was trying to forget that the Astros even existed. Thanks a lot jerk.

I'll be wallowing in the misery that has been Houston sports for the last 5 or so years. (Well, the Texans were good last year, but the Astros have sucked, and the Rockets are stuck in basketball purgatory)

[–]jebuschrast 4 points5 points ago

GO AEROS!

[–]DoctaWorm 2 points3 points ago

Yay St.Louis! We got the World Series with the Cardinals and we have the Blues hockey team in the playoffs for the Stanley Cup! But you can go ahead and take our football team, we don't want them anymore.

[–]detroitfan4life86 0 points1 point ago

Live in Detroit but I've been a St. Louis fan all my life (Primarily the Blues and Rams)................Either way, I hate you for saying that about the Rams :P

**Edit, spelling and such

[–]DoctaWorm 1 point2 points ago

I live in St.Louis, I was never a Rams fan, but I was a Warner fan. Greatest guy ever and the Rams were stupid for letting him go.

[–]whodeyraider 1 point2 points ago

Have you all forgot about the Dynamo?

[–]jinx21182 0 points1 point ago

And that was before the Rockets hired Mchale....

[–]Denihilist 0 points1 point ago

Misery? You want misery? I give you the Kansas City Royals, the one stop shop for free wins in the MLB!

[–]mutebychoice 2 points3 points ago

Royals are improving and have a talented young core

[–]NuttyNougat 1 point2 points ago

Royals, motherfucker? How about the Seattle goddamn Mariners? Just gave up the 21st perfect game in MLB history, never even been to the World Series.

[–]anthony955 0 points1 point ago

Just wait until Charlotte decides to enter the MLB.

[–]mutebychoice 0 points1 point ago

You do realize the Astros were playing in the world series less than ten years ago right? You could be worse, cubs fans, royals fans, shit man, there's a lot of teams that have had less success than Houston lately, maybe not the past while but still. Go stros!

[–]Vague_Intentions 0 points1 point ago

That's why I said "in the last 5 or so years". The 'Stros went to the WS in '06.

[–]llo564 1 point2 points ago

Nope. One year off. Cards won the WS in '06.

[–]mutebychoice 0 points1 point ago

05, year the white sox won

[–]ProfProphet713 0 points1 point ago

Kind of. We kind of went to the WS in '05. We were physically there. Kind of.

[–]Vague_Intentions 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, that was a pretty lopsided series. The Sox were really good that year though, and I definitely didn't expect us to make the WS so I was happy.

[–]fuckyeahamurca 13 points14 points ago

As a Cardinals fan, I've been pretty happy for a while.

I feel like if Pedro Alvarez were to suddenly disappear, I would feel much better about everything.

As a Royals fan, I stfu after 1985.

[–]Nish5115 0 points1 point ago

But the only thing Royals are remember for is George Brett and the Pine Tar

[–]fairwayks 0 points1 point ago

And Brett's hemorrhoids, no doubt. And the fact that he was the only person to receive the American League Batting Champion award for three decades in a row ('70s, '80s, and '90s).

[–]rockagainstemo 1 point2 points ago

As a Native Texan, have a upvote.

[–]Swordfish08 1 point2 points ago

Dollar Dog Night is one of the best things in Pittsburgh.

I wouldn't know because I've lived all 17 years of my life in Raleigh. It was just unfortunate that I love baseball and my Dad was from Pittsburgh. haha

[–]iraqsauce 1 point2 points ago

okayguy.jpeg yes... yes I do.

[–]iraqsauce 0 points1 point ago

I found it funny how the Google ad guy that one a million bucks by pitching a perfect game last year? Yeah- totally did it against 'the worst offense in baseball'. Astros :(

[–]Toastar_888 -1 points0 points ago

FUCKING JIM FUCKING CRANE AND FUCKING MLB,

2-3 Decades is FUCKING right. Fuck the American League. Pussy no hitting pitchers.

[–]mutebychoice -3 points-2 points ago

Why the fuck do you want to watch a pitcher hit, do you watch the wnba because you like fundamentals? Nobody wants bunts and strikeouts, we want the fucking longball!

[–]Toastar_888 0 points1 point ago

Because nothing is more exciting then watching a pitcher hit a Home Run

Wandy Bats switch pretty much at the Mendoza Line.

Also.... April 12, 1980... Nolan Ryan hit a home run in the dome, in a game that went 17 innings.... Never would have happened in the AL.

[–]mutebychoice 0 points1 point ago

I agree it's badass but it's a novelty, it's cool strictly because he's a pitcher, not that I don't like the nl, I just cringe watching pitchers hit, i pray they don't get on base and have to run. Though Mariano Rivera and his 1 career RBI is an interesting scenario

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

This might be the best argument to anything i have EVER seen!

    As a Twins fan living in Minnesota, having spent an entire 3 day weekend last year watching the brewers destroy the twins at this stadium and being completely wasted all 3 days... Have an upvote. For Wisconsin.

    [–]sbrylski 5 points6 points ago

    As a Brewers fan living in Minneapolis, your stadium rocks. Twins are quickly becoming team 1b.

    [–]Glaphnoo 4 points5 points ago

    I agree, as a Brewers fan living in La Crosse, Target Field is really nice! Attending the may 19th series!!!

    [–]tenehemia 2 points3 points ago

    Hell yeah. The Twins are terrible this year and I still want to go to games. Mission accomplished, Target Field.

    [–]that_guy82 38 points39 points ago

    This picture was taken by a redditor a while back and now you are resposting it. I hope it was you but probably not. Correct me if i am wrong.

    [–]chad0007 17 points18 points ago

    Go Brewers!

    [–]ydoug 4 points5 points ago

    I am more than willing to put this as my wallpaper after a few adjustments are made of course

    [–]maxfoley 5 points6 points ago

    Miller Park is absolutely amazing.

    [–]theplatypusmaster 7 points8 points ago

    Best sport there is.

    [–]TheAdoringFan 2 points3 points ago

    What's the capacity of that place?

    [–]that_guy82 17 points18 points ago

    A little over 40,000. Probably my favorite park to watch baseball at (been to a little over a dozen parks). The real treat is the tailgating scene in the parking lot... Wisconsin loves to tailgate.

    [–]The_Dingman 14 points15 points ago

    Tailgating at Miller Park is nothing compared to a football game at Lambeau.

    [–]that_guy82 6 points7 points ago

    Very true. Lived in Milwaukee for 5 years and did all the great events: Green Bay vs Minnesota @ Lambeau, OSU vs UW @ Randall, and Cubs vs Brew Crew @ Miller.

    [–]Snufffaluffaguss 3 points4 points ago

    I went to the last game of the regular season in 2008 when the Brewers beat the Cubs for the wildcard spot in the playoffs. To this day was the best sporting event experience in my life.

    [–]tintin47 2 points3 points ago

    Yeah, but there are only 8 Packers games/year compared to 82 brewers games. Plus, it is fucking cold for a lot of the Packers games.

      [–]TheAdoringFan 4 points5 points ago

      Whoa, bigger than I thought, I always imagined baseball parks to be fairly small compared to football stadiums. 40,000 is about the capacity for my football team's ground and that's fairly big for a football ground, is this one of the larger parks in the US?

      [–]Sark0zy 7 points8 points ago

      By football I'm assuming you mean soccer. We have American football stadiums that routinely hold 100K+ every Saturday in the fall.

      The kicker? Those are all COLLEGE stadiums. Professional football stadiums are usually smaller and in the 60-80K seat range.

      [–]TheAdoringFan 3 points4 points ago

      So everything IS bigger in America!

      [–]dreadredheadzedsdead 1 point2 points ago*

      Michigan Uni's stadium is actually the third largest in the world after the renovations. Behind Rungrado May Day Stadium in North Korea and Salt Lake Stadium in India.

      Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stadiums_by_capacity

      [–]GoogleTrypophobia 1 point2 points ago

      As far as I'm concerned this is the real list. Go Indy!

      [–]dreadredheadzedsdead 0 points1 point ago

      Huh, I never even considered race tracks. Thanks for the link!

      [–]dryersheets 1 point2 points ago

      you definitely forgot my favorite, Beaver Stadium at Penn State

      [–]Mr-Lahey 4 points5 points ago

      Most of the baseball parks in the US are about 38,000-50,000. The old brewers stadium had a capacity of about 54,000.

      [–]amjhwk 0 points1 point ago

      you serious? 40k is large for baseball, tiny for football football ranges from 70k to 100k seats

      [–]Phoenix31a 0 points1 point ago

      That we do, friend. That we do.

      [–]that_guy82 0 points1 point ago

      The boys in the lot south of 94 especially.

      Fuck yeah Miller Park!

      [–]TrFessler 2 points3 points ago

      Yeahhhhh. Brewers represent!

      [–]Ofreo 2 points3 points ago

      I was just there Monday night. I love going to Miller Park. But for sure, the game is always better when the roof is open, but if bad weather, at least it isn't postponed, so I'll take the roof. I really don't care what others think of baseball, I enjoy it and will continue to watch.

      [–]skucera 4 points5 points ago

      Baseball should be played outside.

      [–]Snufffaluffaguss 0 points1 point ago

      Really. . .really? I have experienced outdoor football at Lambeau Field and although it was an amazing experience, it was also god damn miserable. I had frostbite on my ass from the stadium seats, and truly enjoyed drinking my beer that had become a slushie from all the snow that had fallen into it.
      Did I mention the date I attended? First week of December. In Wisconsin we have been known to have major snow storms as last as April, and even May (when I say major I mean 6+ inches). This makes the roof a necessity.

      [–]skucera 1 point2 points ago

      Baseball is a "Spring" sport. It is a moderately-paced game, played in a (ball)park, and is really more about the experience than the action. It gets delayed for rain, and should never encounter snow. Your football woes have no pertinence to baseball; it's a completely different animal.

      That being said, I enjoy the "man versus nature" battle of those old NFL Films games of the snow bowls and ice bowls of yesteryear. I can't imagine that those would be fun to watch from the stands, though.

      [–]bee-wolf 1 point2 points ago

      Baseball is a game designed from the ground up to be a boring-ass shitfest.

      There's a reason there's a law making it our national pastime.

      [–]Gigranto -1 points0 points ago

      Almost makes me wish baseball weren't so boring.

      [–]Mulengro -1 points0 points ago

      This is, without a doubt, the most attractive baseball has ever looked to me.

      [–]poi25 0 points1 point ago

      I've always liked the line in Ernie Harwell's Hall of Fame speech where he says, "In baseball, democracy shines its clearest. The only race that matters is the race to the bag. The creed is the rule book. Color merely something to distinguish one team's uniform from another." That's when baseball looks the most attractive in my opinion

      [–]tintin47 -1 points0 points ago

      Man, Miller Park is terrible for baseball during afternoon games but it lends itself to some beautiful pictures.

      [–]kwirky88 -4 points-3 points ago
