We did it!

Yes, I'll include myself in the WE. The words are music to my ears:

THE BREWERS ARE GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!

It's been 26 long years. Many of them very painful years. Sometimes we wondered if they were ever going to get back....and it has happened. WooHoo!

Made the kid cry we cheered so loud. Poor thing. Hopefully there will be much more to cheer about against the Phillies.

GO BREW CREW!!!

Bye Ned!

Today the Brewers fired Ned Yost. There are 12 games left in the regular season. The Brewers are tied for the lead in the wild card race. Seems strange they would fire him, right? Well, consider the sweep that just happened in Philly - and the 4 game lead that is now gone.

I'm not surprised they fired him but I am kind of surprised at the timing.

Now let's just hope they can kick butt these last few games and actually make the playoffs. It's been too long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll have to think of some really exciting things to start posting on this blog. My DH tells me I write about "lame stuff". :-)

And who wants a lame blog?! Ok, it is kind of lame because it really doesn't really have a main focus - just my many thoughts, right?! Maybe I should start writing about him!

CC! CC! CC! CC!

Maybe I should just say, "who cares?!" about the Packers when we have the Brewers rocking our the month of July. What fun to be a Brewer fan these days. CC was a great addition - hopefully he and Benny will lead us to the post season. It's been a LONG time! Go Brewers Go!

TGIF!

Only 5 more Fridays of work! One of those is a half-day and one is the last day - teacher workday where usually everything is pretty much done and we just putter around doing those last minute things and packing up for summer - which always seems strange to me but that is another topic for another day.

It is supposed to be spring. We are 1/3 of the way through May. But there are frost warnings for tonight. What is wrong with this? Sunday is supposed to be rainy and in the high 40s. Happy Mother's Day! Seems like it might be a great day to just snuggle in bed with a good book!

And I do have another letter for Ned Yost:
Dear Ned,
I hope you guys win a game soon or I'm afraid they might start coming for you. I've heard that is one reason they brought Ted Simmons in as bench coach - so if there were problems he'd be an easy choice for promotion. 6 games in a row is too long for a losing streak!


Happy weekend to one and all!

Happy Earth Day

So I hope today that everyone (who doesn't read my blog) is doing their part to Save the Earth. I challenge all shoppers to purchse reusable bags and just say no to all of the plastic bags the stores now rely on. They are bad, bad, bad! If you must get a bag at the grocery store get paper - and recycle it for goodness sake!

I did keep the tv on tonight as I had to watch Idol. Syesha rocked the house and was definitely my favorite performance of the night. Hope she makes the cut!

And now, another letter to Mr. Yost, manager of the Brewers:

Dear Ned (part 2),

Apparently you didn't get my message yesterday. I asked you to please not put in Turnbow or Eric Gagne with the game on the line. You left Turbow on the pine but not Gagne. And again he blew it. Now I will agree that it is partially the fault of the infield because they didn't convert the double play BUT he still had 2 base runners. Maybe if the sports psych isn't available you can try some hypnosis because something has to give! Luckily the offense pulled it out in the 12th. I'm still a huge fan but am struggling to understand your logic. Let's get the 10 million dollar man going or it is going to be a long 180 games - and after today you may need to start thinking about the other 12 pitchers besides Gagne and Turnbow. Yikes. story


Sincerely,
Lynn
