Hello,
everybody.
Sorry—just
wiping
my eyes.

Buzzer’s rookie
update. His top
four needed
a fifth guy.
I may
never recover.

But tonight
belongs to
Milwaukee.
Congratulations,
Brewers!
Your first World
Series title!

First: Jacob
Misiorowski.
A 1.89 ERA.
243 strikeouts.
That’s an ace.

More than a
thousand
pitches at a
hundred
miles an
hour or faster.

I used to scare
hitters. He
scares the
radar gun.

Second: the
comeback kings.
Before the Series,
they were
nine and one in
the postseason.

They trailed in
eight games.
Won seven of
those. And that
bullpen? 
A 1.24 ERA.

A deficit wasn’t a
verdict. Just
something else
they planned
to erase.

Third: 103 wins,
59 losses.
Best record in
baseball.
A new franchise
high.

They even won two
shutouts while
scoring twenty or
more runs in each.
First team ever.

Save some
runs
for the rest
of us.
That’s not
a request.
That’s
professional
jealousy.

Fourth: every
series in this
MLB postseason
went to the team
with the better
regular-season
record.

A first across the
current playoff
formats of MLB,
the NBA 
NFL, and NHL.

The standings
kept their
promises.
Somebody
tell Buzzer
that’s allowed.

The Series?
Milwaukee
took the first
three against
Tampa Bay.

Game Three:
eight runs
in one inning.
Every one
of them
with two outs.

Then the Rays
answered:
a twelve-inning
walk-off
in Game Four.
No surrender.
Respect.

Game Five:
Misiorowski gave
them five and
two-thirds 
scoreless before
a leg cramp.

Cooper Pratt drove
in two. Trevor
Megill got the
final six outs.
Milwaukee
won, four to one.

Four games
to one.
Champions.
And
William
Contreras?
World
Series MVP.

Milwaukee, the first
pour is yours.
For everyone who
waited. And for Ueck.

I wish he
could’ve
called
that final out.

Congratulations,
Brewers.
Benny Bravo,
signing off.
And Buzzer?
Thanks for
the warm-up
laugh.

Miami.
One very attentive viewer.

So he
DID watch.
That wasn’t a
feeling. That was
evidence.

Congratulations,
Milwaukee. Benny…
I’m happy for you
you enjoyed
my channel.

Someday,
you’re giving
ME the warm-up laugh.
I can wait.
