Mahalo

Better than Hot Carl, I guess

The greatest walk of all times has the goats happy and full of life. Really, when a 9-pitch walk seems like the greatest thing to happen to your team in ages, things are bound to get a little wacky. Like when the diminutive best Hawaiian in the majors hits a bomb to all but send the upstart Brewers on their way home. It's almost enough to inspire some sort of weird half-assed narrative here. But not quite yet, maybe later.

Poor Brewers by the way, and not just cause they are from Milwaukee (sorry, couldn't resist). Just a little overmatched on paper, and worn down on the field from a brutal stretch run. You just get the feeling that maybe they are just happy to be there. Except for Craig Counsell, who is a robot made out of plastic and rubber.

CC/Kendall got too fancy with that at bat - throw him 95mph fastballs till he either Ks or grounds out. Disappointing, but not quite as disappointing as the continuation of our guys taking a shit with RISP. Seriously, can we start Gwynn Jr. tomorrow in right?

I'll be at Miller Park and even if we lose it'll be pretty sweet seeing the crew in the playoffs. It has been strange getting condolences from Cubs fans, though.

(Also: Craig Counsell is 65% grit by volume.)
