Is there any use in hoping the Tigers beat the White Sox tomorrow? There's really no point in it for them. Here's hoping that the Tigers have some sort of visceral hatred for Konerko or something.

So have the Brewers pulled themselves out of the toilet now? It looked like they were trying their best to throw the season away the last month and I went to the Friday and Saturday games here last week and they took two beatings at the hands of the Reds. I haven't been following them since, are they playing better?

And lol at the Mets for blowing their shot at the playoffs. I hope the Brewers kick the living shit out of the Cubs. Fucking Cubs fans came down here for a series last month and they talk like they have already won the world series.

The last week they've played relatively well, but I don't expect them to go too far into the post season.

Still, I'm just stoked - Brewers fans are some of the most die hard fans I've ever seen, glad to see them finally see a bit of progress. I only really began to follow baseball seriously this past year because I had so many friends who were really, really big Brewers fans, and hitting up a handful of game (10 or so I think...?) I definitely just got sucked in.

Hopefully Sabathia continues to play as well as he has and Braun continues to be able to just pick his shots like a champ.

The trade for Sabathia really showed that the Brewers management was committed to make a run at the playoffs this year. Granted they attempted to collapse and throw it away, but I hope they are back to playing good ball and can send the Cubs home early this year. Arrogant ass Cubs fans acting like they have already won, when is the last time you brought home a title?

With their 9th consecutive playoff loss, the wait extends to 101 years for the Cubbies.

"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”
