When I think of the Brewers in the American League I remember the 1981 playoffs and names like Gorman, Cecil, Oglivie, and Robin Yount. Reggie hit a big home run in that series. Of course they were in the league for a long time after that but when I picture the Brewers I think of Harvey’s Wallbangers.
The Brewers still have a decent team with some pop, led by Prince Fielder. I’m sure the balls will be sailing through the Bronx sky tonight.
I'll be gone, and for a couple of weeks, so every banterer will have to say at least one stupid thing to compensate. I mean, at least one extra stupid thing.
Ciao, banter!
1) Have a good week. We'll keep a spot at the bar open for ya!
[1] Well I'm back, so it looks like a tag team bantering this summer. Course, I'm busy this week, so bantering will be light to nonexistent until Sunday.
The '82 pennant-winning Brewers were always a Strat-O-Matic favorite. They didn't have enough pitching, really, but man could they hit.
