Most neutral Midwesterners will cheer for Brewers.

It's not like Milwaukee is in the AL still.

At least 50% of White Sox fans can at least sympathize going 78 years without a WS title in terms of CLE

When a team beats you twice now you owe them some level of respect ... and self reflection for why you're not there

Cubs' fans that knocked them out a decade ago might have some empathy

And admiration towards their organization for getting the most out of every $$$ and every player/coach/staff member

Nope. I hate em. I hope they never win a title ever again.

Bauers is on a crazy roll

but Dodgers still in charge for now

now it's 4-3

MIL wants to end this one tonight

The Brewers are inevitable

As bad as the Dodgers offense have been this series, their pitching has actually been worse. Outside of game 1, I don't think their pitchers did much right.

Sox 4 wins in the postseason

Yankees, RedSox, Cubs, Dodgers - 0 wins

we won.

CLEVELAND — The first time Petey Halpin played at Progressive Field, the ballpark was practically empty. Little did he know that one day, that same ballpark would be jam-packed and chanting his name in October.

Exactly 2,659 days before Halpin launched a go-ahead, two-run homer to help the Cleveland Guardians inch closer to the World Series with a 3-2 victory on Thursday in ALCS Game 3, he was a talented teenager chasing his big-league dreams. He had just turned 17 and was invited to play in MLB's High School All-Star Game leading up to the Midsummer Classic in Cleveland in 2019. While the big-league club was across the state taking on the Reds, 40 of the best prep prospects in the country gathered on Cleveland's home turf to play a seven-inning scrimmage in front of scattered groups of friends and family, plus a contingent of amateur scouts. The outfield seats and upper decks were entirely unoccupied.

Congratulations Milwaukee Brewers- 2026 National League Champions.

For 2026, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ payroll is about $339 million, while the Milwaukee Brewers’ payroll is about $146 million.

Ashy is a starter and he pitches like Cannon.

They retool him as a reliever and he's throwing 100.
Do some of that, please.

OK, "Green Bay sucks" but congratulations to all Brewer fans and good luck against, probably the Guardians. That could be one helluva World Series.

This will be the first time in 20 years that one (or in many years, two) of the 12 major markets teams won't be in the World Series. Back to the Cardinals vs. Tigers in 2006, and that was a different era where the revenue disparity between large and small markets wasn't nearly as big.

The Dodgers won 3 games

And the Yankees won 2

Baseball itself, in the year since Los Angeles' dominant sweep of these Brewers in the 2025 NLCS, evolved enough to make the Dodgers' style of play look antiquated, even dusty. During the regular season, Los Angeles had the third-slowest team bat speed in MLB and the second-lowest hard-swing rate. They ranked 25th in team sprint speed; Milwaukee ranked 1st. 

From Aug. 18, the date of Ohtani's last regular-season long ball, the allegedly contact-merchant Brewers hit just three fewer homers than the Dodgers. Even where the 100-win Dodgers shined, the 103-win Brewers topped them. The only team with a higher average fastball velocity than Los Angeles in these playoffs? Milwaukee. The game is quicker now, and the Dodgers, so long the cutting-edge force in the sport, failed to keep up.

Watch the Brewers come out flat as the World Series doesn’t start until a week from today.

The first three innings of all 4 games the Dodgers dominated. After that, the Brewers dominated.

Pitching wins pennants.

Tell that to the Dodgers rotation of Skubal, Yamamoto, Snell and Glasnow.

You need pitching, but you also need to out slug your opponent.

And the Yankees won two vs the BoSox before getting swept by TB

I won’t be upset by any of the possible winners. That’s about as good as I could’ve hoped for after the Sox lost.

"You can't win this game by yourself," second baseman Brice Turang said. "You got to trust in your teammates to get it done. And if that's moving a guy over, then you move the guy over. And sometimes in trying to move them over, you drive a ball in the gap, and you end up scoring them. So you end up doing yourself a favor. So I think, when you play that way, good things happen."
