Brewers - WOW - that had to be the best 6 or 7 weeks I have ever enjoyed. The Dodgers found the Brewers weakness and exploited it. Not that it was a secret. The lack of being able to hit GOOD left handed pitching.
One other thing that most people are ignoring, after LA won the series Manny Machado pointed at the stands and grabbed his crotch. What a classy guy THAT guy is.
119 days to pitchers and catchers reporting.
OH OH - the 7th game of the NLCS was the ONLY game of game 163 and ALL of the playoff games where the Brewers were favored.

Got a trip to Las Vegas coming. My two systems are doing well. Bridgejumper, my NFL system is a pedestrian 6-4 but (as I have been told) if anybody can hit 60% in the long run in the NFL they are probably the best handicapper in America. I was bounced off the Two-Plus-Two forum for arguing I had done it for 15 years.
I was told NOBODY could do that. Yet - there I was with a 383- 252 record in real time (not back tested) which was 60.93% I even bet a guy $100 I would do it posting the games. I was then banned from the forum and I would have won that bet. sigh!
THEN - as I was running an NBA forum we were talking about a situation where if an NBA team outscores their opponent the first three quarters they will lose to the spread in the final quarter. So far this year the system is 8-3.
Looking forward to LV but MAN - the Wisconsin games starts at 9 in the morning. Early morning beer? Maybe a early early morning breakfast buffet Saturday LOL
Speaking of the Packers - I have software that gives me the RPI for the NFL. RPI is like a power rating that ONLY uses victories and losses.
It looks at what a team has done using only won or lose, home or away, then it looks at the W/L record of the team you played and THEN it looks at the W/L of all the teams opponents their opponents have played. (3 layers)
The Packers are ranked as #21 out of 30. In the next two weeks that play the #2 and #3 ranked teams. Kansas City is #1
For my Eagle fan - sorry - by this type of RPI the Eagles are ranked #29. Losing at home really hurts the RPI. I'm not sure how much stock I put in RPI but it's interesting.
OH - I have that for all major sports - the Badgers are ranked #53 out of 130 teams. Clemson is #1.

Just a quick note on Politics. at the moment the blue has 84% chance of taking over the house and red has a 80% of keeping the senate. HOWEVER - what that means is there is a 40% chance of ONE of those not coming true.
In Wisconsin - Slow leak Walker, has sunk to outright lies and misinformation in his political ads while Tony Milk Toast Evers continues to play Mr. Bland Goody Two Shoes. But now Walkers sugar daddies and sugar mommies are pouring millions of dollars in more attack ad's and lies.
Tammy Baldwin is a shoe in over the nutcase Vukmir who LITERALLY said cannabis is more addictive then meth or heroin in their debate. SERIOUSLY?
For Columbus there is the Wisconsin 6th district where Grothman the Deplorable and Kohl are in a heated battle. Not ONE poll has come out the the 6th. Grothman is a Trump groupie. If Trump said unicorns existed Grothman would look to buy one and then say the liberals ate all the unicorns when he could not find one. You can NOT get farther to the right the this moron. Grothman is outright offensive and truly IS deplorable.
When I went to Washington he would not meet with representatives from Columbus. He hates anybody not white OR not male and is not a friend at all to the gay or LGBT community (according to my gay and LGBT friends)
BTW - speaking of immigrants.
All of those non-white people marching to America that TRUMP has been warning his gullible groupies.
This is where they are now.
So we have 7000 people, families carrying children, many with no or rotting shoes that have walked 1000 miles already with only another 1000 miles to go, no food, no shelter, no hope but it's better then where they were and Trump and his lemmings are AFRAID of them? Is this what America has become?
Afraid of starving families fleeing bloodshed. So Trump and his cronies say he will send in the American Army to stop them. What - by shooting them? We're talking MAYBE mid December for the hardy ones if they walk 30 miles a day, every day for another couple months.
Have you ever walked 30 miles in a day with no food, no water? I have on hunger hikes (remember those?) I was in pretty good shape and 30 miles walking is a LONG walk and I did not carry a heavy backpack with all of my worldly belongings but I did have rest stops with food and water. Even when you have food stops and good shoes and no backpack it's a LONG walk.
Trump sickens me.
I voted - and across America early voting is up 350% compared to the midterms 4 years ago. .

OH - went to Arbys the other day. I really love the sliders they have. So I ordered a regular roast beef slider , a jalapeno slider and a ham slider. Two of the three were great. The ham slider?
this is what they gave me. 1 half size slice of hard crusty ham. I spit it out.
*****************************
Weather - Pretty even temps coming the next 10 days all between 48 and 52. Pretty cloudy (except for today) until after the weekend. Just sort of in a holding pattern. Nothing exciting.
Carry on.
