That’s how it feels when the Brewers send the Cubs deep into the off-season.

Me and my friend celebrating in our seats behind home plate at the Brewers NLDS-clinching Game5 win over the Chicago Cubs.

I had the first four numbers on the 50/50. I should get a little something for that.

Got a good crew pregaming at Miss Katie’s Diner. Racks of ribs, mozzarella bricks, wings, the whole shebang. The old lady behind the bar brought out a tray of “honey apple” shots.

Go Brewers.

I’ve been invited to the game by a dear friend. Let’s feel all the emotions of life simultaneously, baby.

Counterpoint: This is a really funny story we’ll love sharing for years. That could also be what’s getting foreshadowed!

Gorman is ready to pinch hit if needed.

Dingler matched this! Incredible!

I don't think I've ever seen a better caught stealing at second. Raleigh's throw was 11/10 unreal. Wow.

Maybe nothing in sports as close to hard drugs as watching a bullpen rollicking in and out of jams, wet hair and strange jewelry, spitting and cursing, having entire conversations with themselves. A ship of filthy pirates drunk on the high seas.

The guy who just walks everybody into a loss for his team is such a heartbreaking finish. This is brutal.

Except for when they played briefly in Puerto Rico, which was the fashion at the time ...

Over 90 minutes after posting it, I am again returning to this thought.

If the Dumper actually knocks one out here ... my god.

With all due respect to what you're going through — which is unfathomable to me — this game is stupefying entertainment.

Game might not wrap up until their next one.

I think one of us is right and this call on the field is wrong. You are probably more right than me.

It hits his index finger, then the bat, and then goes fair. What's the ruling on that?
