I work in an office next to

a brewers fan, and we both are in Oklahoma (but originally from Chi,.and WI) He’s giving me smack about the series before Monday’s game, and I let him. I did warn him that he was going to jinx his team if he kept up with the smack talking.

I’m fighting the urge to ask him if he’s heard the score today… :)

I actually feel sorry for him now, but I really found that smile in the first two days very annoying.

Ned Yost is our 26th man

The first game set the tone, and Lilly stood up to the pressure of pitching against CC very well. Everything else fell into place afterwards.
