What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions, beating the Rays four to one in Game 5, and it's the first title in franchise history.

  2. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIs it raining in Tampa? I'd like to know what the sky was doing.

  3. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThey played at Tropicana Field, Brock, it has a roof.

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorAnd the first run came from Cooper Pratt, who got caught in a rundown between first and second, survived it, and then drove in the run with a single.

  5. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo he was almost out and then he was a hero. I've had that exact Tuesday.

  6. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTrevor Megill got the last six outs, and Milwaukee went eleven and two in the postseason. I'm telling you, that's a dynasty in one October.
