If the Brewers play .500 ball for the rest of their 18 games, they end up with a 98-64 season.  In order to catch tie them (ignoring tiebreakers):

• Phillies would need to go 15-4
• Cubs would need to go 17-2
• Dodgers would need to go a perfect 19-0

The Dodgers are closer to missing the playoffs than they are catching the Brewers.

Would be crazy if the Padres and Giants passed the Dodgers.  Though I think the Giants are sinking faster than the Dodgers are.

The '70s and '80s Brewers seriously looked like a group that could have moonlighted as state troopers. The mustaches were that good. 

For #11, we have utility infielder Ed Romero

Thanks again to the Cubs for allowing us to keep the countdown rolling despite a Brewers' loss. So much for Craigtember.

I prefer the 10-12-68 version, but there's so few captured on tape they are all treasures. that pic is definitely not from '68. 1970 i'd guess. 

ok the end of this one is better, but not as intense during the verses as the October versions

The set of games this week could hardly have gone worse.

12 games with chances for the Brewers to reduce their magic numbers against the Cubs, Phillies, or Dodgers and, unless the Dodgers blow a lead against the Rockies, 11 of the 12 went the wrong way.

Both the D-backs and Cards have been eliminated,

Although the Cardinals cannot catch the Brewers in the standings, they can do plenty to hurt the Brewers the next two weekends.

The Cards are on the fringes of the wild card race so they still have something to play for.

So the magic number before gameplay tonight (Friday 9/12) is 13 for the Phillies....maybe a bit early for it but that's what I'm focused on. I think home field all the way gets us the world series

I don’t get why the Mets loss doesn’t clinch a playoff spot for the Brewers. 

Is there some goofy 3 or 4 way tie scenario involving the Giants that would knock the Brewers out?

Their 90 wins and 72 losses for the Mets and Reds knocks those 2 teams out because the Brewers have the tiebreaker over both of them. 

That leaves the Giants as the only other team in addition to the Phils, Cubs, Dodgers, and Padres that could beat out the Brewers. 

Not a big deal because it will be resolved soon enough anyway.
