I'm putting together an article about the Brewers run and I'm hoping some of you will be willing to give me some info and be willing to be quoted. My basic idea is to gauge people's reaction to our current position of 1 game back. I was a baby in 82, so I can't compare this season to our last run at any sort of post-season. I think it best to put my list of questions because I think it will be most clear. Answer in paragraph form, don't go down the list of questions. 1. Were you around for 82 and if so, how does this compare? 2. Are you optimistic about the post-season, or do you still have doubts? 3. Normally by this point of the summer, football talk has crept in and we start looking forward to that season. Has the fact that the Brewers are still competitive changed that for you? 4. Has the Favre hoopla changed your outlook on the upcoming season? For example, I got my ESPN the Magazine in the mail yesterday and it has the Fantasy Football preview and I realized I am so NOT prepared for my draft that's in less than a month. I'm absolutely not at all in the football mindset and the tighter the baseball race gets, the farther the Packers get from my mind. Am I the only one? I'm looking to do a feature-style piece on how the Brewers' season is affecting the sports climate in the state. Anything you'd like to share, I'd appreciate. you can email me at nicole.haase(at)gmail.com Thanks!
