I can't believe we're on the verge of this. I said all year this felt like the one, but then when you actually get the Dodgers and start looking at the team again it starts to feel impossible. I assumed the path there would involve them slipping up in an earlier round and getting a good draw. I thought there was a path, but it would go to the brink and take everything. I just never saw being up 3-0 as realistic.
All the suffering this franchise has endured, especially for those like me born after '82, who have never seen the great triumph. Ten years ago, I genuinely never thought I would see the Brewers in a World Series. That I might see the Bucks and Brewers in a Finals/WS within the same 6-year span is just not something I ever thought possible.
