The BTBs Official Brewers Postseason Roadmap

It's taken awhile for me to put together coherent thoughts about this whole Brewers playing in October phenomenon, but I'm ready now to provide the BTBs take on how to do the MLB Playoffs right.

Wednesday, October 1: 6:00 a.m.
Wake up to that annoying buzz of your alarm clock with a big, ridiculous, sloppy smile on your face, realizing that despite the fact that the temperatures dropped 20 degrees+ in a day and you owe the landlord $700, yes, the Brewers are playing baseball later today.

8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Hammer out the most productive day at your job since you were hired. You'll go insane waiting around for 2:00 p.m. if you don't. You probably owe one to your employer regardless.

2:00 p.m.
For those of you logging half days, cozy up to the bar of your choice or your flat screen HD TV and play along to the BTBs not so famous Brewers Drinking Game. This is kind of a wild card (no pun intended) due to its awful start time for us residing in the Brew Town. I'm sure plenty will get by, by having Uke and Jim call the game for them while others will utilize ESPNs GameTracker. Just do whatever it takes to will Yo to spin a gem and for Bill Hall to remember how to play baseball again.

Thursday, October 2, 5:00 p.m.
Nasty time! Two options tonight when CC gets his big paws on the baseball that he'll blow by no less than 10 Phillies. 1. Get a whole mess of beers and gather all of your friends and fathers and watch at your place. Sometimes that's the best way. 2. Cozy up to one of Fanatics 3,000 screens and start ringing up pitchers of Schlitz original on tap like you're European royalty while giving many thanks you aren't a Cubs fan that gets smitten over shitty Budweiser.

Friday, October 3, 5:00 p.m.
For the sake of a blog post that isn't Debbie Downer crap, let's assume that the Crew is either tied 1-1 in this series or they're up 2-0. Otherwise we all might be angry drinking tonight and that's just flat out dangerous. Start the biggest two night party this Fresh Coast city has ever seen. Party at, gee, I don't know: The Safe House, Mo's Irish Pub, Flannery's, any of the stadium bars. Listen to hot tracks like this:



While recalling how when in college this song singled handedly aided you in acquiring 4 different girls numbers and how you always yelled at your buddies, "MAN, DUDE, WE SHOULD LEARN TO PLAY THE STEEL DRUMS DUDE! IT'LL BE AWESOME!"

Saturday, October 4, 1:30 p.m.
Arrive at Miller Park in the glory that is the Giants Lot. Yes, the lot on the north side of the park that actual fans of the team from when County Stadium was home parked in. The one that doesn't have its own freeway exit sign. Seek out the BTB crew witness what should be an afternoon of outstanding tomfoolery of bean bags, beer pong, an inflatable Twister board, ladder toss, jamming tunes, and plenty of good conversation. Just look for the flags we'll have up, probably Brewers and Miami (for Brauny). If we secure some ridiculous toy like a foam gun or one of those t-shirt launchers, we'll let everyone know.
UPDATE: We have secured a horse (read, phillie) pinata that we will beat the life out of and enjoy some delicious candy from its insides!

5:00 p.m.
GO BREWERS GO!

Sunday, October 5, 10:00 a.m.
Consume several aspirins and a large glass of orange juice. Head over to The Wicked Hop for the best damn brunch in Milwaukee along with a tasty bloody. Get jacked up for that TBD game time! Realize that for the first time in your lifetime, the Badgers squared off against Ohio State last night and you were completely oblivious to it, while simultaneously recalling that you're supposed to be at Lambeau Field around this time.
