For what it's worth, I think winning any game in Miami clinches a playoff spot.

Correct. Magic number is 2 over the Marlins so a win over them would guarantee us to finish no worse than 6th in the NL.

I do wonder if the Brewers will celebrate if they win a game this weekend against the Marlins but the Cubs stay alive.

LA for #34 too.   Shaq, Bo Jackson, Fernando

Surprised no one put the greatest Brewers manager of all time up yet!  If Counsell would only be 1/10 as good as #3 we would have 3 WS championships already!!!!!!! It was a travesty that he was fired when he was!

Yost World Series Championships: 1

Brewers World Series Championships: 0

If the Brewers are to win the WS this year, it will look a heck of a lot like those Royals WS teams from '14-'15...

Perhaps LA #32:  Magic Johnson, Sandy Koufax, Marcus Allen.  But I like ours better.

Fun fact, Koufax had a tryout with the Milwaukee Braves that he had committed to prior to committing to signing with the Dodgers.  He still went to the tryout, and the Braves offered him $10K more than the Dodgers offered him.  But he chose the Dodgers because he had already told the Dodgers that he would sign with them.

Being from Brooklyn likely influenced his decision to sign with the hometown Dodgers.  If the Dodgers had already moved, or he knew that they were moving to LA, I wonder if he would have been a Milwaukee Brave.

Possibility of clinching tomorrow!

I realize that he wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I always appreciated the energy and moxie that Nyjer Morgan brought to the Brewers.

The Brewers getting scorching hot over the last two weeks while the Cubs have gone ice cold has certainly been a nice bonus.

My memory for such things is not great……have the Brewers ever clinched with over a week to go?

Earliest would have to be 2021, which they clinched with exactly a week to go. We've got two days to surpass that.
