All I can say is I've had more fun this summer, caring about baseball, than I have had in about 25 years. I was at game 5 of the World Series in 1982. I thought at the time that it would be a regular trip to the Series. With the small market problem, and the strike, baseball has been hard to watch in Milwaukee. I started keeping track of our minor league teams when they finally FIRED Sal Bando. Dean Taylor, and now Doug Melvin made this a team to finally get excited about. What I hope for now is that this young team learned a lot about how each game is very important. If the Brewers would've held onto that 5-0 lead against the Cubs in Chicago, we'd be tied for first right now. That's just one game. I look forward to watching this team next year even more passionately than I did this year. Now, I will say this. I EXPECT this team to get into the playoffs next year, and there will be no more excuses. If Ned is really back next year, and they don't get to the playoffs, he has to go, if not now!
