Be happy for us for once. Your team has a huge market and a huge payroll. Ours has the smallest market and a payroll around the bottom 1/3 in the league. Its literally a small market/payroll team against 3 huge market teams with payrolls significantly higher than ours. Youve been spoiled by having an owner who doesnt care about what they have to spend to put a good team on the field. Youll never go into an extended rebuild. When Yelichs contract is up in 3 years, do you think he resigns with the Brewers, or does he go to a team like the Yankees, Cubs, Red Sox, Dodgers, etc, who can pay him 4x more than we can afford without blinking. He goes to the team that can pay him more, which is why baseball always has those same teams near the top, and the rest of us waiting for these magical years where things finally fall into place and you can make a run.

The Brewers are rarely in this position, and our window is really small to be here again. This is a really special time in Wisconsin, to the point where people are more interested in the Brewers than the Packers (partially because the Packers suck right now). Your window as a Yankees fan will always be open, and youve always got something to play for when October gets close.

Even though I expect the Dodgers to absolutely destroy the Brewers in this series, its been awesome to be able to experience playoff baseball again. This is the 5th time in 50 years that the Brewers have been in the playoffs because we dont have the same advantages that your team does when it comes to market and financial backing. Be happy that your team contends every year, instead of being shocked on the rare occasions where theyre still playing for something in September.

It sucks that your team thats in this position every year lost, but youre going to have this excitement pretty much every year for as long as you remain a fan of the Yankees. Youre not going to watch that window close again, and have to sit there wondering if youll ever get to see your team playing in October again before you die.

You misunderstand me.

Of course I'm happy for the Brewers, and of the four remaining I absolutely prefer them winning to every alternative.

You just have to understand, my top priority is Boston losing. And I have seen what happens when they come up against small market NL teams in the WS enough to know that your guys will get shit wrecked if that's the matchup.

If they proved me wrong, I'd be ecstatic, but I just want the Dodgers there because I think they matchup better against Boston (and I want Kershaw to get a ring).
