On some level, it just kills me seeing the Cardinals, and not my Brewers doing this. But on a much bigger level, as an absolute lover of baseball, what an amazing game to behold. Just a joy. If I ever have kids, this is a game that they will talk about, and I will be able to tell them I saw it.
This is why baseball, not football, not basketball, is the greatest game ever conceived. We can all argue the popularity of the NFL, NBA and MLB, but in it's simplest terms, there is no game like baseball. How many times tonight did we see the Cardinals barely hanging on by a thread? You were down to your final strike, what, twice? There was no shot clock ticking down, no 2 minute warning. Three simple outs, and a team unlike any other I have ever witnessed. Call it a team of destiny, call it an absolute refusal to lose, this St. Louis Cardinals team has guts, and heart, and an unwillingness to give up...the Cardinals might be our enemy during the regular season, but as a Brewers fan, as a baseball fan, I've got to say...
Nicely done!
Well said, Lambeau. I appreciate your feelings on this. Obviously you're a true fan of this game.

Not to be a wet blanket, because I was thrilled last night but I would so much rather watch a well pitched game with good defense than a game like last night.

I like to pretend that as he approached the plate, he said "Ice to see you" like McBain from the Simpsons.

Emotions from last night ... where do I start? I fought back sadness so strong that the season was coming to an end that almost brought tears to my eyes. I was exhilarated, relieved that we had a second life only to be punched in the gut again and thrown in the abyss only to be pulled out again and then felt a euphoria that I have never felt as a fan. I shared a moment with my son that I will never forget ... I had to forcefully hug him not once but twice during the night as he jumped up and down on one leg having just had three pins taken out of his hip on Tuesday. He simply couldn't contain himself.
I will never ever forget this game or this night.

I drunkenly hugged Whitey Herzog's grandson and grandson's girlfriend without even knowing it was Whitey Herzog's grandson.

Coming back twice from a two run deficit...with two outs...with two strikes on the batter...in an elimination game
...I think you'd have better odds winning the lottery.
