Do you think anyone really cares if they win 81 games? I refuse to believe anyone really gives a crap if the Milwaukee Brewers finish .500. I think that is the worst goal in the history of sports. If thats is what keeps you glued to the tv for the games, fine, but I think you are in the vast majority. Once again you are missing my point. I am not saying that its likely that Milwaukee MAKES the postseason, nor will most people be upset if they dont. What is reasonable and possible is that they play well enough to close the gap a few games between now and game 145. If they are within 3 games of the WC spot with 15 to play, there would be a serious buzz in the air and people would be going through the rough waiting for these games. If they are simply trying to get that elusive 81st win, the clamour will be far less.
