BREWERS WIN!!!

Ok, it's only our 73rd win of the season, but hey, we went out with a bang. Long season, but I'm sad that it's over. Time for Postseason Baseball. Good luck to everyone still up (except those stinky Cubs).

Detroit really needs a few contact/speed guys in their lineup. Too many guys doing the same thing. They're gonna have to consider trading JD and Kinsler this offseason, in my opinion.

I wish they could trade Victor, Pelfrey and Anibal for anything. :kobewhatever:

How's that farm system looking?
You think they have enough prospects for a major piece(McCutchen; Josh Donaldson)?

fukk no. :pachaha:

Dombrowski reduced it to rubble and always drafted poorly. They have a few intriguing guys, but it's one of the worst in baseball. That being said, they've turned water into wine with their trash ass "prospects" before. :manny:

Just saw that both NLDS game 1's will be on either FS1/MLB Network.... ON A FRIDAY. :huhldup:

MLB should put a stop to that, the average casual sports fan has no clue what channels FS1 and MLBN are on. With both games featuring big market teams(Cubs and Nats) on a Friday with no other sports leagues to compete with, baseball needs to do a much better job at making their important games as accessible as possible.

Matter fact, when their current tv deals end, MLB should strike a multi partner deal with YouTube; Turner Sports, and Fox. In this deal, Turner Sports(TNT, TBS) will cover every playoff round except the World Series and those games will be viewable by watching Turner networks or via YouTube, and Fox's broadcast channel will solely host the World Series. This deal allows cord cutters to watch all of the postseason, and makes it easy for casual fans to tune in.
