Rules of the game are pick a number between 1 and 5000 and first person to guess right wins this Sal Frelick auto. This game ends when the Brewers and Dodgers game ends, If no one gets the right number by then I will have my wife come up with a random number and first person that guesses that number wins the prize. I'll try to keep up with the numbers during commercial breaks. Thanks for playing and GO BREWERS!!!

Honestly should have been Eight Elite Defenders in the running

I know..add a couple of zeros :/

Chicken Enchiladas from Michele Yount. Recipe #2 from the 1982 Brewers' wives (and moms) cookbook. 10/10

The only change I made was the green chile. I am from NM and it is sacrilege to use the canned stuff.

Brewers in 6! 💙💛🩵

I was finally able to find some after looking since its announcement. On sale too! ($1.25)

It having 50g of sugar, will curb me from drinking this. So it goes into the man cave collection.

Thank you to the members of this subreddit that liked yesterday’s post. User [u/bleedgreenandyellow](u/bleedgreenandyellow) requested an addition for whom was traded for each of the players acquired through trade on the active roster. Trade Trees are like Coaching Trees in football in that there are branches formed when players move on and new players are acquired. Over time this can lead to some pretty amazing outcomes. Without further ado, here is the full “forest of trade trees” (and some trade-seedlings) that formed this incredible team.
