Makes sense with the Left Handed SP's dodgers have

This anticipation today is unbearable.

Playoff baseball is unbearable. I mean, every **** pitch feels like its the end of the world.

I have been less nervous leading up because I generally do feel like we are the underdogs and are playing with house money. I'm not trying to be an ultimate pessimist or something and understand we can easily win, but in my mind we have an inferior roster at this point. Feels like playing OSU in the Big Ten title game last year. Need a big win to finally get over the hump, definitely good enough to do it, but at a talent disadvantage and therefore I'm expecting the worst, hoping for the best.

I'm sure I'll become a ball of nerves at the first tense moment in game 1, though.

Same here. You can't objectively look at the rosters and not say the dodgers are the favorite. They should be they spent like 100 million more. But at least it's baseball and not basketball so you always have a chance to get hot and win. If the Brewers get beat I'd obviously be a little disappointed but ultimately I'd look back and remember how fun this run has been.

Hate to say it, but feels like this is the one shot for the Crew and they need to win it. Unlikely that Cain is as productive another year older, that Christian continues to be Jesus, and that the bullpen has unbelievable years again next year. I don't think the Cubs sit back over the summer either. Gotta win it while they're in it!

Towards the end of, and for an hour or so after, Game 1 vs the Rockies... my stomach was in knots. I don't ever remember during any game of any team I've ever followed - Packer Super Bowls, Badger Final Fours, etc. - feeling like that. I think I might want this more than any title for any other team I cheer for.

Does anyone in the world have thicker eyebrows than Aguilar?

After having a Packer Super Bowl become old hat, I'd give a slight edge to hoping one of those Badger Final Fours winning it all but this is pretty damn close. Like I said, I will be a ball of nerves at some point unless the series is out of hand immediately, but my brain has told me that winning this thing will be unlikely so I just don't feel it yet.

As I've gotten older, I've come to a point where I almost prefer to know the score of the game before I watch it. The tension of big games can be almost unbearable, an a bad loss seems to feel like a permanent scar on your fandom. Of course, the final score does "spoil" that experience, but it's so much easier for me to move on from a disappointing result if I didn't have to experience the crushing heartbreak in real time.

At the end of Game 1, I actually turned off the TV after JJ blew the save and ran some errands. Not because I didn't think we could win, but because the tension was almost too much for me to physically handle at that point.

Funny you say that because I had to turn it off as jeffress was blowing it. I was watching it in a delivery room of a hospital as my wife was having some preterm contractions. It was just too much at the time. I did go back to the game in the 10th. My wifes water broke with my first kid while I was watching the Badgers national championship game.. my kids are determined to ruin my sports viewing lol

At least it's Perez and not Schoop.

Cain needs to get on so Yelich gets something to hit

True. I'm a little confused if they aren't willing to start schoop against lefties then why is he on the roster. I get that would leave them a little thin but he could always be added if an injury hit.

The break we just had will probably be good for Cain, he was slumping pretty hard

As I've gotten older I let the outcomes of games bother me far less because well...they're games and very unimportant in the grand scheme of things. I dont live and die with the results anymore but I'm a lot happier in general.

I will always be a fanatic. It doesn't affect my life but I can't be a casual fan. I don't change teams based on who's good. I love the tension, the emotional ups and downs. I've been this way my whole life and it won't change. I love it.

Wings in the oven, drinks are poured, I'm **** pumped. Let's go.
