MLB is not creaming at all the big markets getting knocked out.
Good point. But it will be TV that gets the shaft this year - not MLB. As a fan I'm excited and jumping on the Brewers bandwagon. Tigers/Brewers would be a big boost to an area of the country that desperately needs it and should be pretty dramatic.
As a huge fan of the game this last week and a half has been like Christmas when you were 8 years old. Doc/Carpenter last night was just about as good as it gets
Oh wow, he said the f word on tv... end of the world.
I'm a Red Sox fan - and I honestly think it'd get old if we won the World Series every year. The Yankees fans might be narcissistic greedy assholes and want them all - but it'd seriously get boring if you just won every year.
At least compete for a title, even if you don't win it.
I like how one season in Boston could force Theo and Francona out of the city. The two of them brought 2, 2 World Series victories to a place that hadn't won in 86 years.

Do you hate the Cubs? Just curious because I've always been a fan well outside the Chicago area so I don't know very much about the teams fans' interaction.
Nah. True rivalries need to age like fine wine. Any team as (relatively) new as the Brewers doesn't have anything like those examples. The rivalries you cite been at it for a century.
And since the Cubbies truly hate the Cards they don't have enough hate left over to be an intense rival of the Brewers.
Yeah, pretty much. If you'd have asked every Brewer fan 4 years ago who their most hated team was, 95% would say the Cubs. Ask today and I bet it's like 70/30 in favor of the Cards, which just shows it's basically whatever divisional rival is good while the Brewers are doing well. They're two different types of dislike though. For the Cubs it's because of their obnoxious/boisterous fans that come up to Miller Park, and for the Cardinals it's more that they see themselves as the Keepers of Baseball Etiquette and because of guys like TLR, Carpenter and Molina.
Quacker's right though that neither are anywhere close to as intense as the longstanding rivalries that you mentioned, though I will say Brewers-Cards is actually getting national media attention for their dislike of one another. But I guess to be fair every NL Central team hates the Cards.

I'd say I'm rooting for the Rangers, but I'm honestly still too bummed out to even care. I hate the Cardinals and all, but fuck it, if they win it good for them.
Absolutely. For a baseball junkie its the last of it for a while. I was rooting for a Tigers/Brewers final but I'll take whatever. If I had to pick now I would go with the Rangers, I have never been a LaRussa fan.
Mostly I'm just glad Ron Darling didn't get the call to do play by play for the series.
