Blurb 10/19: It was fun while it lasted

Note: This was written late Sunday Night, but I was unable to post this until now due to computer issues.

It's over. The 2011 Milwaukee Brewers season is over. It was written in the stars, but for the Brewers it was a million miles away. No more Prince Fielder, no more World Series chances.

This season isn't a complete failure though.

Think about this. If I had told you this time last year that the Brewers would make the NLCS, would you take that?

Now obviously the trades for Grienke, and Marcum changes the expectations. but still even at Spring Training many fans would have taken an NLCS berth.

This postseason has been magical for the Brewers. Consider Yovanni's dominating Game 1 start. The tenth-inning walkoff hit and subsequent f-bomb blast from Nyjer Morgan to win the NLDS. Plus, the Brewers had an amazing come from behind victory in Game 1 of the NLCS!

Houston, San Diego, Seattle, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Washington, Toronto, and Baltimore. What do all these teams have in common? They would love to be in our position. As Milwaukee Brewers fans, with our troubled history that only included (before this season) one postseason appearance in the previous 28 years, we should appreciate when these good years come around, and recognize this team for what it is not a complete success, but not a failure.

While I am not completely happy with all the decisions made, and the final result of the 2011 season. Let us remember the good moments, and not the bad ending. How about next year though, we win it all.

Go Brewers and Please Comment
