Gonna have to get a bigger bandwagon! Welcome aboard!

So much for that small market excuse.

[PeaveyFury]

It doesn't really remove the small market thing, unless a whole bunch of those new fans suddenly move to the Milwaukee Metro area.

Reds up to #9? What?

[Athens Badger]

Why do fans have to move to the metro area to improve national television ratings and apparel sales?

[whizkid]

They don't but his reference was to small market vs. large market which is primarily determined by local media revenue.

I know for a lot of people around the country the Brewers are the "underdog" second or third team they pull for. They love the old logo, the beer-related stuff, the underdog status, even the old '82 team...now that the team is full of young studs I imagine that'd just increase

Fans love breakout teams, too. Of course, the internet crowd has probably seen this breakout coming for a couple years.

I predicted that they would win the wildcard last year. No one believed me, and I had to eat crow. And nobody believed me again when I picked them to win the division this year. I think without all their injuries last year, they probably would have won perhaps even the division last year.
