While I think the win last night was a great one and very emotional, I would put the Game 162 win in 2008 to put them into the playoffs for the first time since 1982. The emotions that year were certainly different. For me, it felt like, "Wow... we traded for one of the top pitchers in the game and now the Brewers can be considered a 'good team.'"
This year is different, though. The win yesterday gives some legitimacy to what we are feeling. The Brewers won 103 games, but are they really good. Contrary to what many outside of this board have said, not many people know about the Brewers. I thought it was finally said out loud on the Fox postgame report. Something to the effect of: not many people know about the Brewers. No kidding.
I'll use a quote Dan Patrick made this week on his show:
This year seems different and beating the Padres gives legitimacy to the Brewers season. Now, let's get after it against the Dodgers.
