The Magical Magic Number is… (part 1)

[SoCalBrewfan]

Brewers up to 81.8%. Cardinals drop almost 10% down to 26.6%

FWIW, the BP has the Brewers' playoff percentage higher than fellow division leaders Texas (81.5%) and Detroit (65.6%).

I just posted this in the IGT, then came over here to see I am not the only one with an addiction to that report...

A reminder of how far the starting rotation has come:

How about that Jeffrey Hammonds bobblehead doll as a reminder of how far the lineup has come!!

 

That Counsell bobblehead is still coming up. Haven't quite escaped the crappy bobblehead player days

Fair enough...but the Counsell bobblehead isn't because he is a key cog in the team, it is because he is/was a fan favorite.

At least Counsell is still on the team. The Hammonds bobble was given away months after we had released him.

I thought they called it a Brewers bobble instead of a Hammonds one on that day.

That was their kind-of-sad attempt to save face, yes.

Don't look now, Classies.

Lacks the #40 on the uni, but it's still enough to bring back memories (or horrible flashbacks) for bf.netters who were paying attention then.

(Edit: Or on the receiving end of some of Dad Hendrickson's very special PMs.)

 

And here's a second Ben for your magic number pleasure:

It looks like there is a good chance of this reaching 38 tonight.

Rockies 6, Cardinals 1. Time for another reminder of how improved things are for the Brewers nowadays:
